-8w+3z
w=2.2
z=-9.1

-8(2.2)+3(-9.1)
-17.6-27.3
-44.9

The answer is -44.9

-8w + 3z when w = 2.2, z = -9.1

Simply plug in everything.

Plug in 2.2 for w, and -9.1 for z :)

-8(2.2) + 3(-9.1)

Simplify.

-17.6 + (-27.3)

-17.6 - 27.3

Simplify.

-44.9

Is y=2x + 3 proportional or non-proportional is y=5x proportional or non-proportional

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

y=2x+3 is non-proportional. y=5x is proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

y=2x+3 is not proportional because there is the +3. also, when it is graphed on a graph, the line does not pass through the origin/zero.

y=5x is proportional because it does not have any other values attached to the y value. when it is graphed, the lie goes through the origin/zero.

in a party,there is 40 percent more males than females.there are 475 males and females altogether.how many males were at the par

Phantasy [73]

The ratio of males to females is 1.4 : 1, so the fraction of the total that is made up of males is 1.4/(1.4 + 1) = 1.4/2.4 = 7/12.

There were (7/12)*475 ≈ 277 males at the party.

There were 475 - 277 = 198 females at the party.

You want to survey seventh-grade students about computer use. Which sample is more likely to be random? You ask seventh-graders

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

You ask seventh-graders leaving the cafeteria after lunch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Try and choose a sample with the student group that has nothing to do with what you're testing for. It will take a bit of "creative" thinking and guessing about the lives of students in each of these groups. We try to choose a good sample to get accurate or less-biased results.

You ask seventh-graders entering a library on Friday night.

Friday night, some students are quicker to leave school and start the weekend. The students who go to the library might be more studious and work can be done on the computer. Libraries also have computers available for people to use for gaming. Your sample would have students who use the computer more.

You ask seventh-graders leaving a school basketball game.

Students who watch a basketball game usually do so by choice. We could assume that these students spend most of their free time playing sports, which are not done on the computer. Your sample would contain students who use a computer less.

You ask seventh-graders leaving the cafeteria after lunch. 

The cafeteria is usually filled with all or most of the students in the entire school. Every student would need to eat, so you will find all "types" of students here. Your sample would contain all "types" of students.

You ask seventh-graders entering the computer lab.

These students very obviously use a computer, given you go to a place filled with computers to survey them. Your sample would mostly contain students who use a computer more.

Joey has a beach ball with a radius of 20 cm. What volume of air will it hold when fully inflated? [Round to nearest tenth.]

nadya68 [22]

It would be D. because the volume of a sphere is 4/2 x pi x radius^3.

If n is a positive integer, how many 5-tuples of integers from 1 through n can be formed in which the elements of the 5-tuple ar

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

$n + 4 {n \choose 2} + 6 {n \choose 3} + 4 {n \choose 4} + {n \choose 5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets divide it in cases, then sum everything

Case (1): All 5 numbers are different

In this case, the problem is reduced to count the number of subsets of cardinality 5 from a set of cardinality n. The order doesnt matter because once we have two different sets, we can order them descendently, and we obtain two different 5-tuples in decreasing order.

The total cardinality of this case therefore is the Combinatorial number of n with 5, in other words, the total amount of possibilities to pick 5 elements from a set of n.

${n \choose 5 } = \frac{n!}{5!(n-5)!}$

Case (2): 4 numbers are different

We start this case similarly to the previous one, we count how many subsets of 4 elements we can form from a set of n elements. The answer is the combinatorial number of n with 4 ${n \choose 4} .$

We still have to localize the other element, that forcibly, is one of the four chosen. Therefore, the total amount of possibilities for this case is multiplied by those 4 options.

The total cardinality of this case is $4 * {n \choose 4} .$

Case (3): 3 numbers are different

As we did before, we pick 3 elements from a set of n. The amount of possibilities is ${n \choose 3} .$

Then, we need to define the other 2 numbers. They can be the same number, in which case we have 3 possibilities, or they can be 2 different ones, in which case we have ${3 \choose 2 } = 3$ possibilities. Therefore, we have a total of 6 possibilities to define the other 2 numbers. That multiplies by 6 the total of cases for this part, giving a total of $6 * {n \choose 3}$

Case (4): 2 numbers are different

We pick 2 numbers from a set of n, with a total of ${n \choose 2}$ possibilities. We have 4 options to define the other 3 numbers, they can all three of them be equal to the biggest number, there can be 2 equal to the biggest number and 1 to the smallest one, there can be 1 equal to the biggest number and 2 to the smallest one, and they can all three of them be equal to the smallest number.

The total amount of possibilities for this case is

$4 * {n \choose 2}$

Case (5): All numbers are the same

This is easy, he have as many possibilities as numbers the set has. In other words, n

Conclussion

By summing over all 5 cases, the total amount of possibilities to form 5-tuples of integers from 1 through n is

$n + 4 {n \choose 2} + 6 {n \choose 3} + 4 {n \choose 4} + {n \choose 5}$

I hope that works for you!
