Answer: She can randomly survey 50 seventh-graders in the school.

Step-by-step explanation: To get the best result without wasting to much time means she cannot afford to survey every student. To receive the best results it should be unbiased so random is the way to go. Randomly surveying 50 girls in her school does not guarantee that those girls are all seventh graders so the best answer is She can randomly survey 50 seventh-graders in the school.

Answer:

There are a total of 297 students in the 7th grade. Rough estimates would say that about half of that number are boys and half are girls. Asking only 50 random girls would be biased because not only would it not be all of the girls (the number of girls would be around 148 or 149) but it would also be ignoring the roughly 148 to 149 boys there are on estimate. The sample would be biased because it would be ignoring the opinions of more than half the seventh grade

Find the volume of the following figure. Round the answer to the nearest hundredth if necessary.
telo118 [61]

Answer:

48 yd^3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a pyramid = 1/3  * height * area of the base.

The area of the triangular base = 1/2 * height * base = 1/2*6*8

= 24 yd^2.

So the volume of the figure

= 1/3 * 6 * 24

= 2*24

= 48 yd^3.

On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (negative 2, 4), has a vertex at (0.25, negative 6), and goes throug
serg [7]

The statements true about the the function f(x) = 2x2 – x – 6 are-

  • The vertex of the function is (one-quarter, negative 6 and one-eighth).
  • The function has two x-intercepts.

<h3>What is vertex of parabola?</h3>

The vertex of parabola is the point at the intersection of parabola and its line of symmetry.

Now the given function is,

f(x) = 2x^2 – x – 6

Also, it is given that the vertex is located at (0.25, -6)  and the parabola opens up, the function has two x-intercepts.

Comparing the given function with standard form,

f(x) = a x^2 bx + c

By comprison we get,

a = 2

b = -1

c = -6

Now, x-coordinate of vertex is given as,

x = -b/2a

put the values we get,

x = -(-1)/2*2

or, x = 1/4

Put the value of x in given function, so y-coordinate of the vertex is given as,

f(1/4) = 2(1/4)² - 1/4 - 6

        = -49/6

       = -6 1/8

Hence, The statements true about the the function f(x) = 2x2 – x – 6 are-

  • The vertex of the function is (one-quarter, negative 6 and one-eighth).
  • The function has two x-intercepts.

Payton has 2 pizzas. each pizza is cut into 10 equal slices. she and her friends eat 14 slices. what part of the pizzas did they
kakasveta [241]
14 / 20 total slices = 7 / 10, which is 0.7 if you're looking for a decimal.
That's 70% of the pizza, which I would eat by myself.

Total brain fart! 24+5x=-x+6(5a-4)
kow [346]

Answer:

When solving for x, answer = \large\boxed{x = 5a - 8}

When solving for a, answer = \large\boxed{a = 1/5x + 8/5}

Step-by-step explanation:

24 + 5x = -x + 6(5a - 4)

Start by multiplying 6 by the values in the parenthesis

24 + 5x = -x + 30a - 24

Add 24 to both sides of the equation

48 + 5x = -x + 30a

Add 1x to both sides of the equation

48 + 6x = 30a

Subtract 48 from both sides of the equation

6x = 30a - 48

Divide both sides of the equation by 6

x = 5a - 8 (Answer when solving for x)

Add 8 to both sides of the equation

x + 8 = 5a

Divide both sides of the equation by 5

a = 1/5x + 8/5 (Answer when solving for a)

-----------------------------------------

When solving for x, answer = \large\boxed{x = 5a - 8}

When solving for a, answer = \large\boxed{a = 1/5x + 8/5}

Hope this helps :)
