Answer:

Due to the distributive property the expression are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sadie expression is "perimeter = 2*(length + width)", while Eric's is "perimeter = 2*length + 2*width". The value for both is always the same for any rectangle, because the expressions are the same due to the distributive property. To prove this we will expand Sadie's expression as shown below:

perimeter = 2*(length + width)

perimeter = 2*length + 2*width

Which is the same as Eric's.

In the Mississippi River Delta, fresh water (0% salinity) mixes with salt water from the Gulf of Mexico (3 1 2% salinity). If 1,
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The total resulting gallons of water is 4,000 gallons

The concentration of the resulting solution is 2.625% salinity

Step-by-step explanation:

The salinity of the fresh water from the Mississippi River Delta = 0%

The salinity  of the water from the Gulf of Mexico = 3 1/2%

Therefore, if 1,000 gallons of river water mixes with 3,000 gallons from the Gulf, we have;

The total resulting gallons of water = 1,000 + 3,000 = 4,000 gallons

The total resulting gallons of water = 4,000 gallons

The concentration of the resulting solution is found as follows;

The concentration of the resulting solution = (3 × 3 1/2)/400 × 100 = 2.625%

The concentration of the resulting solution = 2.625% salinity.

A researcher wishes to estimate the percentage of adults who support abolishing the penny. What size sample should be obtained i
alex41 [277]

Answer:

sample size if he uses a previous estimate of 32​% is 523

sample size if he does not use any prior​ estimates is 601

Step-by-step explanation:

estimate E = 4 percentage = 0.04

confidence Cl = 95% = 0.95

previous estimate p = 32% = 0.32

q = 1 - 0.32 = 0.68

to find out

size of sample

solution

first we calculate z value for 95% confidence E = 0.04 is 1.96

from probability P(-1.96 < z < 1.96) = 0.95)

here z = 1.96

so in 1st part size of sample we know

E = z × \sqrt{pq/n}

put all value E, z p and q and we get n

n = (z/E)² ×p×q

n = (1.96/0.04)² ×0.32×0.68

n = 523

sample size if he uses a previous estimate of 32​% is 523

now in 2nd part we take p = 0.5

so n will be

n = (z/E)² ×p×q

n = (1.96/0.04)² ×0.5×0.5

n = 601

sample size if he does not use any prior​ estimates is 601

If s(x) = 2 - x and f(x) = 3x, which value is equivalent to (s f) (-7)
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the first method :

s(x) = 2 - x and f(x) = 3x

(s f) (-7) = s(-7) ×f(-7)

but : s(-7) = 2 - (-7) =2+7 = 9

       f(-7) = 3(-7) = - 21

so : (s f) (-7) = (9)×(-21) = - 189

the second method :

calculate : (s f) (x) == s(x)×f(x) = (2-x) 3x = 6x - 3x²

(s f) (-7) = 6(-7) -3 (-7)² = - 42 -147 = -189
