Mathematics

-- Find the amount of change.

           (new amount) - (old amount)

-- Divide it by the original amount.

-- Now you have the decimal amount of change.
   If you want the percentage, multiply the decimal by 100.
     (Move the decimal point 2 places that way ==>)

What fraction equals the whole number 6?
anastassius [24]

What fraction is equivalent to the whole number 6?

Well, any fraction which result gives you 6 is a fraction that would fulfill the requirement, I'll give you a few examples so you can grasp the idea:

6 = 6/1 = 12/2 = 18/3 = 24/4 = 30/5 = 36/6 = 42/7 = 48/8 = 54/9 = 60/10

Let ​ f(x)=x2+6x−16 ​. Enter the x-intercepts of the quadratic function in the boxes. and
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

x = - 8, x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x² + 6x - 16

To find the x- intercepts equate f(x) to zero, that is

x² + 6x - 16 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 8)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

scoray [572]
This question is based on the concept of
amount of interest. Therefore, 22,234 would be
the population after 11 years, to the nearest
whole number.
Given:
A town has a population of 13000 and grows at
5% every year.
We need to determined the population after 11
years, to the nearest whole number.
We know that,
Formula =A = P(1+ r)
Where, p be the population. r is the rate and t is
the time.
P= 13000,
r= 5%
†= 11
Now put all these values in formula.
We get,

A = 13000(1 +
A
= 13000(1 + 0.05)11

A. Create a set of 5 points that are very close together and record the standard deviation. Next, add a sixth point that is far
defon

Answer: The addition of the new point alters the previous standard deviation greatly

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial five points be : 2 3 4 5 and 6. In order to calculate the standard deviation for this data, we will need to calculate the mean first.

Mean = summation of scores/number of scores.

The mean is therefore: (2+3+4+5+6)/5 = 20/5 = 4.

We'll also need the sum of the squares of the deviations of the mean from all the scores.

Since mean = 4, deviation of the mean from the score "2" = score(2) - mean (4)

For score 3, it is -1

For 4, it's 0

For 5 it's 1

For 6 it's 2.

The squares for -2, -1, 0, 1, and 2 respectively will be 4, 1 , 0, 1, 4. Summing them up we have 10 i.e (4+1+0+1+4=10).

Calculating the standard deviation, we apply the formula:

√(summation of (x - deviation of mean)^2)/N

Where N means the number of scores.

The standard deviation = √(10/5) = 1.4142

If we add another score or point that is far away from the original points, say 40, what happens to the standard deviation. Let's calculate to find out.

i.e we now have scores: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 40

We calculate by undergoing same steps.

Firstly mean. The new mean = (2+3+4+5+6+40)/6 = 60/6 = 10.

The mean deviations for the scores : 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 40 are -8, -7, -6, -5, -4 and 30 respectively. The squares of these deviations are also 64, 49, 36, 25, 16 and 900 respectively as well. Their sum will then be 1090. i.e. (64+49+36+25+16+900 = 1090).

The new standard deviation is then=

√(1090/6)

= √181.67

= 13.478.

It's clear that the addition of a point that's far away from the original points greatly alters the size of the standard deviation as seen /witnessed in this particular instance where the standard deviation rises from 1.412 to 13.478
