Sample size= n= 84
sample mean= x = 107 s
population standard deviation =σ= 11.7

As, population standard deviation is given so we use the estimate:
                             x(+/-) z(α/2)(σ/√n)

At 99% Confidence interval means significance level is α=1-0.99= 0.01
So,
α/2=0.005
Now, z at α/2=0.005 
z= 2.576
Now, by putting values 
                               107(+/-)((2.576)(11.7/√84)) 
              ( 107-((2.576)(11.7/√84)), 107+((2.576)(11.7/√84))  )    
               (103.7, 110.288)

(08.01, 8.02 MC) An expression is shown below: 18x3y − 9x2y − 72xy3 + 36y3 Part A: Rewrite the expression so the GCF is factored
vitfil [10]

Answer:

9y(2x - 1)(x - 2y)(x + 2y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

18x³y - 9x²y - 72xy³ + 36y³ ← factor out 9y from each term

= 9y(2x³ - x² - 8xy² + 4y²)

Factor the first/second and third/fourth term in the parenthesis

= 9y( x²(2x - 1) - 4y²(2x - 1)) ← factor out (2x - 1) from each term

= 9y(2x - 1)(x² - 4y²)

x² - 4y² is a difference of squares and factors in general as

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b), thus

x² - 4y²

= x² - (2y)² = (x - 2y)(x + 2y), hence

18x³y - 9x²y + 72xy³ + 36y³

= 9y(2x - 1)(x - 2y)(x + 2y) ← in factored form

Need help with 7-10 please and thank you!!
Archy [21]

Answer:

#7: MK, LS and PR

#8: PN and PQ

#9: no

#10: no

Step-by-step explanation:

#7: lines MK, LS and PR are not intersecting each other, so these lines are parallel each other

#8: between lines PN and PQ is an right angle, so the lines PN and PQ are perpendicular

#9: lines PN and KM have an intesecting point, so they're not parallel

#10: there is no right angle between lines PR and NP

Rates like $ per channel is a slope, "m". The added fee is a constant so it's the intercept "b".
y = mx + b

So for the first problem (9)
(a)
y = total cost in dollars
x = number of premium channels
y = 16x + 44
(b) when x = 3 channels
y = 16(3) + 44
y = 92 $

the second problem (10)
(a) every 4 years the tree grows by 12-9=3 ft
So the unit rate or slope will be 3 ft per 4 yrs, (3/4). You can see this also by solving for slope "m" using the given points (4,9) and (8,12).

x = number of years
y = height of tree in ft
y = (3/4)x + b
use one of the points to find the y-intercept "b".

9 = (3/4)(4) + b
9 = 3 + b
9 - 3 = b
6 = b
y = (3/4)x + 6

(b) when x = 16
y = (3/4)(16) + 6
y = 12 + 6
y = 18 ft

Simplify ; √12 - 7√75
BigorU [14]
\sqrt{12} = 2 \sqrt{3} and 7 \sqrt{75} = 35 \sqrt{3}.  Thus, 2 \sqrt{3} - 35\sqrt{3} = -33\sqrt{3}.
