10 = 80/8

5 1/8 = ((5x8)+1)/8 = 41/8

(80-41)/8 = 39/8

39/8 = 4 7/8

= 4 7/8

10 - 5 1/8

Convert 5 1/8 into an improper fraction.

We do this by multiplying the denominator to the whole number and adding it to the numerator, and wee keep the denominator.

8 * 5 = 40 + 1 = 41/8

10 - 41/8

Convert 10 to a denominator of 8:

10 * 8 = 80
1 * 8 = 8

80/8 = 41/8

Subtract the numerators together and keep the denominator:

39/8

Convert to a mixed number:

4 7/8

The dot plot uses dots to for data representation.

The dot plot is right skewed
There is an outlier, 9.
The best measure of center is median

(a) The description

From the dot plot (see attachment), we have the following observations,

There are more data at the left-hand side, than the right-hand side of the dot plot.
There is only one data element at the right-hand side

This means that the dot plot is right skewed

(b) Outlier

From the dot plot, we can see that 9 is relatively far from the other data elements.

This means that 9 is outlier

(c) Measure of center

In (b), we established that the dot plot has an outlier.

When there is an outlier, the best measure of center to use is the median.

Hence, the median will be used as the measure.

The formula for finding the sum of a finite geometric series is
$S_n = a_1( \frac{1-r^n}{1-r} )$

n = 17, $a_1 = 3$ , r = 2

Substitute into the formula and you get 393213

A population numbers 15,500 and grows at 3.75% per year. Write an exponential model for the growth of this population.

krek1111 [17]

Answer: $f(x)=15500(1.0375)^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential model for growth is given by :-

$f(x)=A(1+r)^x$ , where A = initial value , r = growth rate (in decimal), x = time (in years).

Given: A= 15,500 r= 3.75% = 0.0375

The exponential model for the growth of this population will be :

$f(x)=15500(1+0.0375)^x\\\\\Rightarrow\ f(x)=15500(1.0375)^x$

hence, the required model: $f(x)=15500(1.0375)^x$

A pair of dice are rolled. What is the probability of rolling 6 or less?

Allushta [10]

Answer:

1/36

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of rolling a number less than 6 or 6 itself on one die is 1/6. A pair of dice would be the combined probability 1/6*1/6 which is 1/36. So there's a 1/36 chance of having both dice roll numbers less than 6 or 6 itself.

Multiplying a trinomial by a trinomial follows the same steps as multiplying a binomial by a trinomial. Determine the degree and

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer: Degree of polynomial (highest degree) =4

Maximum possible terms =9

Number of terms in the product = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

A trinomial is a polynomial with 3 terms.

The given product of trinomial: $(x^2 + x + 2)(x^2 - 2x + 3)$

By using distributive property: a(b+c+d)= ab+ac+ad

$(x^2 + x + 2)(x^2 - 2x + 3)=(x^2 + x + 2) x^2+(x^2 + x + 2) (-2x)+(x^2 + x + 2)(3)\\\\=x^2(x^2)+x(x^2)+2(x^2)+x^2 (-2x)+x (-2x)+2 (-2x)+x^2 (3)+x (3)+2 (3)\\\\\\=x^4+x^3+2x^2-2x^3-2x^2-4x+3x^2+3x+6$

Maximum possible terms =9

Combine like terms

$x^4+x^3-2x^3+3x^2-4x+3x+6\\\\=x^4-x^3+3x^2-x+6$

Hence, $\left(x^2\:+\:x\:+\:2\right)\left(x^2\:-\:2x\:+\:3\right)=x^4-x^3+3x^2-x+6$

Degree of polynomial (highest degree) =4

Number of terms = 5
