Distribute the -2 to the (x+3) because of distributive property
-2x-6-4>4x+30
add like terms because you aren't changing anything
-2x-10>4x+30
add 2x to both sides (addition property of equality, when b=b and a=a, a+b=a+b)
also addative inverse, a+(-a)=0, the 2x canceld the -2x
-10>6x+30
minus 30 from both sides (subtraction property of equality again) and addative inverse, the -30 cancleled the 30
-40>6x
divide both sides by 6 (division property of equality)
-20/3>x
property of 1 division (if a=a then a/a=1
x<-20/3

You would have to first distribute the -2 to the x+3 which gives you -2x-6. Then you would subtract the 4 which gives you -2x-10 on the left side. Now you have the equation -2x-10>4x+30. Move the 4x to the other side giving you -6x-10>30. Now add the 10 from the other side which leaves you with -6x>40. Now remember when you divide by a negative in an inequality, you HAVE TO flip the sign giving you the answer of x<-20/3.

Answer:

The less the correlation between two variables means the more different their output is.

A.) If Rachel wants to diversify her investment by investing on bonds that do not closely follow the returns on the bond. then she should invest in the stocks with low correlation with bonds. I.e: small cap stocks.

B.) Similarly, due to low correlation, small cap bonds will increase ( comparatively to large cap bonds) as the return on her bonds wil drop and vice versa.

What is the surface area of the cone?

goblinko [34]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area of a cone, you use the formula $A=\pi r(r+\sqrt{h^2+r^2} )$ . Since we are already given the height and radius, all we have to do is plug in the values and solve.
