1 answer:

4 0

Answer : 1 9/20

1st Step : Make common denominators

3/4 + 7/10 = 15/20 + 14/20

2nd Step : Add!

15/20 + 14/20 = 29/20

3rd Step : Simplify, make the fraction a mixed number

29/20 = 1 9/20

1 and 9/20 is your answer

Help! What is the average rate of change of f(x)=x^2+3x+6 over the interval -3 less-than-or-equal-to x less-than-or-equal-to 3?

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The average rate of change of the function over the interval is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change of a function:

The average rate of change of a function f(x) over an interval [a,b] is given by:

$A = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

Interval -3 less-than-or-equal-to x less-than-or-equal-to 3

This means that $a = -3, b = 3$

$f(x) = x^2 + 3x + 6$

$f(b) = f(3) = (3)^2 + 3(3) + 6 = 9 + 9 + 6 = 24$

$f(a) = f(-3) = (-3)^2 + 3(-3) + 6 = 9 - 9 + 6 = 6$

Average rate of change

$A = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a} = \frac{24+6}{3-(-3)} = \frac{30}{6} = 5$

The average rate of change of the function over the interval is 5.

Construct a frequency distribution and a frequency histogram for the data set using the indicated number of classes. Describe an

elena-s [515]

Answer and Explanation:

Number of classes = 8

Highest value =2300

Lowest value = 1250

Class width= highest value – lowest value / number of classes

= 2300 – 1250/8

= 131.25 = 132

So, we can write class as 1250+132=1382

Class frequency

1250-1382 2

What is the solution for the equation StartFraction 5 Over 3 b cubed minus 2 b squared minus 5 EndFraction = StartFraction 2 Ove

wolverine [178]

Answer:

The solutions are:

$b=0,\:b=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression

$\frac{5}{3b^3-2b^2-5}=\frac{2}{b^3-2}$

Solving the expression

$\frac{5}{3b^3-2b^2-5}=\frac{2}{b^3-2}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:fraction\:cross\:multiply:\:if\:}\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}\mathrm{\:then\:}a\cdot \:d=b\cdot \:c$

$5\left(b^3-2\right)=\left(3b^3-2b^2-5\right)\cdot \:2$

$5b^3-10=6b^3-4b^2-10$

$\mathrm{Switch\:sides}$

$6b^3-4b^2-10=5b^3-10$

$6b^3-4b^2-10+10=5b^3-10+10$

$6b^3-4b^2=5b^3$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}5b^3\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$

$6b^3-4b^2-5b^3=5b^3-5b^3$

$b^3-4b^2=0$

$Using\:the\:Zero\:Factor\:Principle:$ $if\:\mathrm ab=0\:\mathrm{then}\:a=0\:\mathrm{or}\:b=0\:\left(\mathrm{or\:both}\:a=0\:\mathrm{and}\:b=0\right)$

So,

$b=0,b-4=0$

$b=0,b=4$

Therefore, the solutions are:

$b=0,\:b=4$

Which of the following could NOT be the lengths of the sides of a triangle?

Furkat [3]

Given:

Sides of triangles in the options.

To find:

Which could NOT be the lengths of the sides of a triangle.

Solution:

Condition for triangle:

Sum of two smaller sides of a triangle must be greater than the longest side.

In option A,

$5+5=10>5$

Sides 5 in, 5 in, 5 in are the lengths of the sides of a triangle.

In option B,

$10+15=25>20$

Sides 10 cm, 15 cm, 20 cm are the lengths of the sides of a triangle.

In option C,

$3+4=7>5$

Sides 3 in, 4 in, 5 in are the lengths of the sides of a triangle.

In option D,

$8+5=13$

Since, the sum of two smaller sides is less than the longest side, therefore the sides 8 ft, 15 ft, 5 ft are not the lengths of the sides of a triangle.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

Donavan and Jones are randomly choosing chalices to drink from. 4 of the chalices contain purified water, 5 contain spoiled milk

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Chalice with purified water = 4

With spoiled milk = 5

With flat soda = 6

Probability of Jones drinking from a chalice with purified water after Donovan had drank from 3 = 1/3

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Total possible outcomes = (4 + 5 + 6) = 15

After Donovan drinks 3 :

Total possible outcomes = (15 - 3) = 12

If the probability of Jones choosing a chalice with purified water is 1/3 then :

(Required outcome / Total possible outcomes) =1 /3

(Required outcome / 12) = 1 / 3

Required outcome * 3 = 12

Required outcome = 12 / 3

Required outcome = 4

Therefore, since initial number of chalice with purified water is 4,

4 - 4 = 0

Then Donovan did not drink from a chalice containing purified water.
