It's so you can compare two rates

For example,
person A walks 10 miles in 2 hours
person B walks 40 miles in 4 hours

If you want to know who is the faster walker, then you divide the distance over the time
person A's speed = distance/time = 10/2 = 5 miles per hour
person B's speed = distance/time = 40/4 = 10 miles per hour

So we can see that person B is faster as 10 is larger than 5. This is only possible by comparing the unit rates of 5 mph (for person A) and 10 mph (for person B)

Which equation represents a parabola that opens upward, has a minimum at x = 3, and has a line of symmetry at x = 3?

densk [106]

Answer:

$A.\ y = x^2 - 6x + 13$ is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that vertex equation of a parabola is given as:

$y = a(x-h)^2+k$

where $(h,k)$ is the vertex of the parabola and

$(x,y)$ are the coordinate of points on parabola.

As per the question statement:

The parabola opens upwards that means coefficient of $x^{2}$ is positive.

Let $a = +1$

Minimum of parabola is at x = 3.

The vertex is at the minimum point of a parabola that opens upwards.

$\therefore$ $h = 3$

Putting value of a and h in the equation:

$y = 1(x-3)^2+k\\\Rightarrow y = (x-3)^2+k\\\Rightarrow y = x^2-6x+9+k$

Formula used: $(a-b)^2=a^{2} +b^{2} -2\times a \times b$

Comparing the equation formulated above with the options given we can observe that the equation formulated above is most similar to option A.

Comparing $y = x^2 - 6x + 13$ and $y = x^2-6x+9+k$

13 = 9+k

k = 4

Please refer to the graph attached.

Hence, correct option is $A.\ y = x^2 - 6x + 13$

The perimeter of a standard-sized rectangular rug is 4040 ft. the length is 22 ft longer than the width. find the dimensions.

Nataly_w [17]

L = w+22

2(l+w) = 4040
2(w+22+w) = 4040
2w + 22 = 4040/2 = 2020
2w = 2020-22 = 1998
w = 999ft

l = w+22 = 999+22 = 1021ft
w = 999 ft

Assume that the heights of women are normally distributed with a mean of 63.6 inches and a standard deviation of 2.5 inches. If

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

<h2>The probability is 58 %.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem belong to a normal distribution probability.

Mean = 63.6

Standard Deviation = 2.5.

We have to find the probability of a height greater than 63.0.

Due to the normal probability, we need to find the Z score first:

$Z=\frac{x-u}{o}$ ; where x is the height, u is the mean, and o is the standard deviation.

$Z=\frac{63-63.6}{2.5} \\Z= -0.24$

Once we have our Z score, we find the probability with the z-table (attached). So, for a z score of -0.24 we have a probability of 0.42.

But, the problem is asking for height greater than 63.0, this mean that we have to subtract 0.42 from 1, giving as result 0.58, which means a 58% of probability,
