If runners in a long distance race were to run straight from the starting line to the finish line they would run 13 kilometers.

However, the road they run makes them travel longer than that. They must run 5 kilometers south and then head west "x" kilometers for the remainder of the race. How far do the runners travel?

5^2 +x^2 = 13^2

25 + x^2 = 169

x^2 = 144

x = sqrt(144) = 12

 they run west for 12 KM

 12+5 = 17 total km

Which equation could generate the curve in the graph below
Setler79 [48]
The curve has been attached and the answer choices are:

y = 3x² – 2x + 1

y = 3x² – 6x + 3

y = 3x²<span> – 7x + 1
</span>
The attached graph has a vertex in the first quadrant. Therefore, the coordinates of the vertex would be both positive.

Let's start with first equation:

                                               y = 3x² – 2x + 1

using the equation of axis:
                                            x = -b/2a
                                            x = 2/6
                                            x = 1/3
SUbstituting the value of x in the main equation to get the y-coordinate of the vertex.
                                               y = 3(1/3)² – 2(1/3) + 1
                                               y = 3/9 – 2/3 + 1
                                               y = 1/3 – 2/3 + 1
                                               y = (1 - 2 + 3)/3
                                               y = 2/3

Hence, the vertex would be:
                                             (h,k) = (1/3 , 2/3)

Also, the leading coefficient is positive, so the parabola would be concave up.

Thus the final answer choice will be:

                                             y = 3x² – 2x + 1

Suppose a random sample of n measurements is selected from a binomial population with probability of success p = .39. Given n =
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Given that the number of sample (n) = 300, therefore since n > 30, the distribution of the sample means is going to be normally distributed.

b) The mean of the distribution of sample means (also known as the Expected value of M) is equal to the population mean μ.

\mu_x=\mu=np=300*0.39=117

c) The standard deviation of the distribution of sample means is called the Standard Error of M, it is given by:

\sigma_x=\sqrt{np(1-p)} =\sqrt{300*0.39(1-0.39)} =8.44

I need help I will give BRAINLEST
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can use the percent change formula shown in the picture attached below. x_{2} is the new value, x_{1} is the old value, and C represents the change. For this problem, 80 is the new value and 64 is the old value. Let's plug those numbers into the formula and solve for the percent change:

C = \frac{(80-64)}{64} \\ × 100

C = \frac{16}{64} ×100

C = 0.25 ×100

C = 25%

Thus, the answer is 25%.

Help if you’re good at math I’ll give brainliest
boyakko [2]

Answer:

(4,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Just by looking at the graph, you can see that they intersect at (4,2). But just to check:

x - 2 = -0.5x + 4

1.5x = 6

x = 4

y = 4 - 2 = 2

(4,2)
