Answer:

The equation which equates the two is M  = \frac{B}{20}  = 0.05B

A human with a body mass of 80 kilograms will have a blood mass of 4 kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is said that the blood mass is proportional to the body mass.

We can say that the blood mass of a mammal is M, and that the body mass of a mammal is B.

Since the two are proportional we can write

M  ∝ B   , or M = kB    where k is the constant of proportionality.

Using the given values for a rhinoceros we can write

150 = k × 3000

Therefore k = \frac{150}{3000} = \frac{1}{20}  = 0.05

Therefore the equation which equates the two is M  = \frac{B}{20}  = 0.05B

A human with a body mass of 80 kilograms will have a blood mass of

= \frac{80}{20}  = 4 kilograms

The waking time of a student under common conditions is normally distributed with mean of 30 hours and a standard deviation of 5
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

If the walking time is greater than or equal to 38.225 hours, than it exceeds 95% probability that is lie in top 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 30 hours

Standard Deviation, σ = 5 hours

We are given that the distribution of waking time is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.95

P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 30}{5})=0.95  

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

\displaystyle\frac{x - 30}{5} = 1.645\\\\x = 38.225  

Thus, if the walking time is greater than or equal to 38.225 hours, than it exceeds 95% probability that is lie in top 5%.

What is 5x^2-7x-3=8 by solving using a graph???
Alinara [238K]
Hello!

Simplifying
5x2 + -7x + -3 = 8

Reorder the terms:
-3 + -7x + 5x2 = 8

Solving
-3 + -7x + 5x2 = 8

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-3 + -8 + -7x + 5x2 = 8 + -8

Combine like terms: -3 + -8 = -11
-11 + -7x + 5x2 = 8 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
-11 + -7x + 5x2 = 0

Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by
5 the coefficient of the squared term:

Divide each side by '5'.
-2.2 + -1.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.2' to each side of the equation.
-2.2 + -1.4x + 2.2 + x2 = 0 + 2.2

Reorder the terms:
-2.2 + 2.2 + -1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2

Combine like terms: -2.2 + 2.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2
-1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.2 = 2.2
-1.4x + x2 = 2.2

The x term is -1.4x. Take half its coefficient (-0.7).
Square it (0.49) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.49' to each side of the equation.
-1.4x + 0.49 + x2 = 2.2 + 0.49

Reorder the terms:
0.49 + -1.4x + x2 = 2.2 + 0.49

Combine like terms: 2.2 + 0.49 = 2.69
0.49 + -1.4x + x2 = 2.69

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.7)(x + -0.7) = 2.69

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.640121947

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting
(x + -0.7) equal to 1.640121947 and -1.640121947.

Subproblem 1
x + -0.7 = 1.640121947

Simplifying
x + -0.7 = 1.640121947

Reorder the terms:
-0.7 + x = 1.640121947

Solving
-0.7 + x = 1.640121947

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '0.7' to each side of the equation.
-0.7 + 0.7 + x = 1.640121947 + 0.7

Combine like terms: -0.7 + 0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + x = 1.640121947 + 0.7
x = 1.640121947 + 0.7

Combine like terms: 1.640121947 + 0.7 = 2.340121947
x = 2.340121947

Simplifying
x = 2.340121947

Subproblem 2
x + -0.7 = -1.640121947

Simplifying
x + -0.7 = -1.640121947

Reorder the terms:
-0.7 + x = -1.640121947

Solving
-0.7 + x = -1.640121947

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '0.7' to each side of the equation.
-0.7 + 0.7 + x = -1.640121947 + 0.7

Combine like terms: -0.7 + 0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + x = -1.640121947 + 0.7
x = -1.640121947 + 0.7

Combine like terms: -1.640121947 + 0.7 = -0.940121947
x = -0.940121947

Simplifying
x = -0.940121947

Solution
The solution to the problem is based on the solutions
from the subproblems.
x = {2.340121947, -0.940121947}

Cade gets his phone bill and finds out that he is charged a 20 dollar flat rate and then must also pay .05 cents per minute. Wri
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

1100 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: 35=.05x-20

Why? x is the amount of minutes on his phone. Each minute is 0.05 hence 0.05x. Subtract 20 because that is the flat rate

55=.05x

x=1100

Therefore he was on his phone for 1100 minutes

Factor the trinomial x^2 - 2x - 8
ValentinkaMS [17]
Well what two numbers multiply to get -8 and add to get -2?
Well, to get -8, we either have (-1,8),(-2,4),(-4,2),(-8,1)
8-1=7
-2+4=2
2-4=-2
1-8=-7
Thus it should be (-4,2),
This means we should get (X-4)(X+2)
