The distance from Jimmy's house to the school is 400 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; Assume that the distance between Jimmy's house and his school is x meters. So from the given data, we can form these

Distance from his house to the school = x,

Distance from his school to the store = Distance from his house to the school + 100 = x + 100,

Distance from the store to his house = Distance from his house to the school + 175 = x +175.

Step 2; It is given that the total distance Jimmy walked was 1,475 meters. Jimmy walked a total of three trips so,

x + x + 100 + x + 175 = 1,475,

3x + 275 = 1,475,

3x = 1,475 - 275 = 1,200,

x = 400.

So distance from Jimmy's house to school = 400 meters,

Distance from his school to the store = 400 + 100 = 500 meters,

Distance from the store to his house = 400 + 175 = 575 meters.

<h3>How to infer the graphical form of a general equation</h3>

In this problem we have <em>general</em> equations of the form A · x² + B · y² + C · x + D · y + E = 0, which have to be modified into <em>standard</em> form to infer its <em>graphical</em> form. This procedure can be done by <em>algebra</em> properties:

16 · x² + 4 · y² + 96 · x - 8 · y + 84 = 0

[(4 · x)² + 2 · 12 · (4 · x)] + [(2 · y)² - 2 · 2 · (2 · y)] = - 84

[(4 · x)² + 2 · 12 · (4 · x) + 144] + [(2 · y)² - 2 · 2 · (2 · y) + 4] = 64

(4 · x + 12)² + (2 · y + 2)² = 64

4² · (x + 3)² + 2² · (y + 2)² = 64

(x + 3)² / 4 + (y + 2)² / 16 = 1 : Ellipse

x² + y² + 8 · x - 6 · y - 15 = 0

(x² + 8 · x) + (y² - 6 · y) = 15

(x² + 2 · 4 · x + 16) + (y² - 2 · 3 · y + 9) = 40

(x + 4)² + (y - 3)² = 40 : Circle

x² + 6 · x + 4 · y + 5 = 0

x² + 6 · x + 5 = - 4 · y

y = - (1 / 4) · x² - (3 / 2) · x - (5 / 4) : Parabola

An article includes the accompanying data on compression strength (lb) for a sample of 12-oz aluminum cans filled with strawberr

seraphim [82]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a test of 2 independent groups. The population standard deviations are not known. Let μ1 be the mean compression strength from the extra carbonation of strawberry drink and μ2 be the mean compression strength from the extra carbonation of cola.

The random variable is μ1 - μ2 = difference in the mean compression strength from the extra carbonation of strawberry drink and the mean compression strength from the extra carbonation of cola.

We would set up the hypothesis.

The null hypothesis is

H0 : μ1 = μ2 H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0

The alternative hypothesis is

H1 : μ1 < μ2 H1 : μ1 - μ2 < 0

This is a left tailed test.

Since sample standard deviation is known, we would determine the test statistic by using the t test. The formula is

(x1 - x2)/√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)

From the information given,

x1 = 530

x2 = 553

s1 = 23

s2 = 16

n1 = 10

n2 = 10

t = (530 - 533)/√(23²/10 + 16²/10)

t = - 2.6

The formula for determining the degree of freedom is

df = [s1²/n1 + s2²/n2]²/(1/n1 - 1)(s1²/n1)² + (1/n2 - 1)(s2²/n2)²

df = [23²/10 + 16²/10]²/[(1/10 - 1)(23²/10)² + (1/10 - 1)(16²/10)²] = 6162.25/383.752

df = 16

We would determine the probability value from the t test calculator. It becomes

p value = 0.0097

Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p value, 0.0097, then we would reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, at 5% significance level, the data suggests that the extra carbonation of cola results in a higher average compression strength.

vredina [299]

By the law of sines,

$\dfrac{\sin90^\circ}{17}=\dfrac{\sin y^\circ}9$

$\implies\sin y^\circ=\dfrac9{17}$

(since $\sin90^\circ=1$ )

$\implies y=\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac9{17}\right)\approx32.0$

Ierofanga [76]

for 2a, use the theorems of geometry and such to look at the area of the square as 16 squares total, then use the lengths and Sim/cos rule for the triangular area, then subtract and you have you shaded area.
