Alex is practicing his dives at a pool. He dives from a dividing board that is 21 feet above the surface of the water. His dive

takes him 17 feet below the surface of the water. Alex says that the two distances are opposite, so his total dive distance is 22 + (-17) = 5 feet. Is Alex correct? How far did he travel if he is wrong?

Answer:

NO. Alex was wrong.  

The total dive distance is 21 + 17 = 38 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex was wrong because his direction of diving is from above the water through the surface of the water to under the water.

So his direction of travelling is not opposite but the same.

Therefore the total distance traveled by Alex = distance traveled from the diving board to the water surface + distance traveled from the water surface to down below the water  

Distance traveled from the diving board to the water surface = 21 feet

Distance traveled from the water surface down below the water = 17 feet  

Total distance traveled by Alex = 21 feet + 17 feet

   = 38 feet.

Thus, Alex was wrong because the the total distance traveled by Alex was 38 feet.

If a=2^3 x 3^7 x 5^3 x 11^4 and b= 2^2 x 3^5 x 7^2 x 11 x 13 , find the following:
Natalka [10]

Answer:

10,692

Step-by-step explanation:

GCF stands for Greatest Common Factor.  

The way to find it is easy once you have the prime decomposition.

Search for common factors in the decomposition and take the least power, then multiply them all.

So, in our case, as the numbers are already broken down into prime factors , we have

GFC(a,b)=2^2.3^5.11=10,692

A sphere is inscribed in a cylinder. Use complete sentences and geometric formulas to compare the surface area of the sphere and
Papessa [141]

Answer:

1 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When a circle is inscribed in a cylinder, the height of the cylinder is equal to the diameter of the sphere and the radius of the cylinder is same as that of the sphere.

Let the radius of sphere is r.

height of cylinder, h = 2r

radius of cylinder = r

Surface area of sphere, A = 4πr²

lateral surface area of cylinder, A' = 2 πrh

A' = 2πr x 2r = 4πr²

The ratio of surface area of sphere to the lateral surface area of cylinder is 1 : 1.

Decide which chi-square test (goodness-of fit, homogeneity, or independence) would be most appropriate for the given situation.
sasho [114]

Answer:

C. Test for Goodness-of-fit.

Step-by-step explanation:

C. Test for Goodness-of-fit would be most appropriate for the given situation.

A. Test Of  Homogeneity.

The value of q is large when the sample variances differ greatly and is zero when all variances are zero . Sample variances do not differ greatly in the given question.

B. Test for Independence.

The chi square  is used to test the hypothesis about the independence of two variables each of which is classified into number of attributes. They are not classified into attributes.

C. Test for Goodness-of-fit.

The chi square test is applicable when the cell probabilities depend upon unknown parameters provided that the unknown parameters are replaced with  their estimates and provided that one degree of freedom is deducted for each parameter estimated.
