A study is being conducted on the amount of gasoline purchased on an average day in town. A random variable is used to identify

the amount in gallons. Is the variable in this study discrete or continuous? Why?
1. It is discrete because the gallons of gasoline are measured in whole numbers.

2.It is continuous because there is no way to determine how many people will purchase gasoline.

3.It is discrete because the study is confined only to gas stations in town.

4.It is continuous because the number of gallons can take on any value over a range of values.

Answer:

4.It is continuous because the number of gallons can take on any value over a range of values.

Step-by-step explanation:

Discrete variables are ones that are disconnected.  This means they take only specific values, with no values inbetween.

Continuous variables are ones that can take any value in a given range.

When measuring the gallons of gas, we can have partial gallons of gas; this means the variable can take any value in a given range, so it is continuous.

How do you verify this trigonometric identity? cos^2 θcot^2 θ = cot^2 θ - cos^2 θ
sattari [20]
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Replace cos^2(θ) with 1-sin^2(θ), and cot(θ) with cos(θ)/sin(θ).

  cos^2(θ)cot^2(θ) = cot^2(θ) - cos^2(θ)

  (1 -sin^2(θ))cot^2(θ) =  . . . . . replace cos^2 with 1-sin^2

  cot^2(θ) -sin^2(θ)·cos^2(θ)/sin^2(θ) = . . . . . replace cot with cos/sin

  cot^2(θ) -cos^2(θ) = cot^2(θ) -cos^2(θ) . . . as desired

Given m||n, find the value of x.<br> kt<br> (7-10)<br> (6x-5)°
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

So, leets look at the graph.

We can see that the lines being solved for tecnically make up 180 degrees.

This is because the value of the angles on line m are equal to the value of the angles on line n.

So, we know that the total line, 180 degrees, is 7x-10, and 6x-5.

Lets combine these two equations, and subtract them from 180 degrees to solve for x:

7x-1+6x-5

=

13x-15

Now to solve for x:

13x-15=180

Add 15 to both sides to get 13x alone:

13x=195

Then divide both sides by 13 to get x alone:

x=15

So our value of x is 15!

Hope this helps! :)

Write the equation 12 − y = 2x − 5 in slope-intercept form. What are the slope and y-intercept? A. y=2x−17,m=2, y-intercept (0,−
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

12-y=2x-5

+5        +5  ( add 5 to both sides)

17-y=2x

-17    -17  (Subtract 17 to get y by itself)

-y=2x-17

divide by -1 because y cant be negative

y=-2x+17

m=-2 and y-intercept= 17

I hope thats right :)
