Answer:

D. 46.5 in.–73.5 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that horn lengths of Texas longhorn cattle are normally distributed.

\text{The mean spread for horn lengths of Texas cattle } (\mu)=\text{60 inches}

\text{The standard deviation for horn lengths of Texas cattle } (\sigma)=\text{4.5 inches}

Since the empirical rule states that about 99.7% of the population lies within the 3 standard deviation. So according to normal distribution the range for the middle 99.7% of the values is: [\mu-3\sigma,\mu+3\sigma].

Upon substituting our given values we will get,

[60\text{ inches }-3*4.5\text{ inches },60\text{ inches }+3*4.5\text{ inches }]

[60\text{ inches }-13.5\text{ inches },60\text{ inches }+13.5\text{ inches }]

[46.5\text{ inches },73.5\text{ inches }]

Therefore, the range of horn lengths for the middle 99.7% of Texas longhorn cattle is 46.5 inches to 73.5 inches and option D is the correct choice.

Binomial (x - 6) and trinomial (-2x2 + x + 9) are the factors of which of the
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Option (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

If binomial (x - 6) and trinomial (-2x² + x + 9) are the factors of a polynomial then their multiplication will be equal to the polynomial.

(x - 6)(-2x² + x + 9) = x(-2x² + x + 9) - 6(-2x² + x + 9)

                              = -2x³ + x² + 9x + 12x² - 6x - 54

                              = -2x³ + 13x² + 3x - 54

Therefore, Option (3) will be the correct option.

Write the following number as ratios of integers
s2008m [1.1K]

Our goal here is to somehow "surgically remove" the repeating part of the number, so let's start by putting the original value in a variable and messing around with it a bit.

We'll let x=7.\overline{6}. We want to cut the 0.\overline{6} bit off completely, so let's create the scalpel that'll let us do that. If x=7.\overline{6}, then we can also say that 10x=76.\overline{6}. Maybe I was lying a bit: the x is our real scalpel here, and 10x is where we'll be making the cut. Mathematically, a "cut" is almost always shorthand for subtraction, so let's see what our operation (cutting x off of 10x) leaves us with:

10x-x=76.\overline{6}-7.\overline{6}\\9x=69

The operation was a success! We can now simply divide either side by 9 to find x = 69/9, which, when reduced by dividing the numerator and denominator by 3, gives us x=23/3
