Answer: 13

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem we're asked to rewrite as addition and then evaluate.

It's important to understand that minus a negative means the same thing as plus a positive so we can change 5 - (-8) to 5 + (+8).

Now we can simply add to get a sum of 13.

Therefore, 5 - (-8) or 5 + (+8) = 13

Answer: 13

Step-by-step explanation: We originally have the equation 5-(-8).

Flip everything around.

5 + (+8)

5 + (+8) = 13.

When it gives the keywords "rewrite as addition" you should know that you need the rewrite the equation an opposite way of what it was written.

In this case it was 5-(-8).

Flip the signs, 5+(+8).

Add 5 to 8 and get 13.

Answer:

(19229.11 ,20770.89)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

Sample size, n = 17

Sample mean = 20,000 pounds

Sample standard deviation = 1,500 pounds

Confidence level = 95%

Significance level = 5% = 0.05

95% Confidence interval:

$\bar{x} \pm t_{critical}\displaystyle\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

Putting the values, we get,

$t_{critical}\text{ at degree of freedom 16 and}~\alpha_{0.05} = \pm 2.119$

$20000 \pm 2.119(\displaystyle\frac{1500}{\sqrt{17}} ) = 20000 \pm 770.89 = (19229.11 ,20770.89)$

Question 9 of 10

dem82 [27]

Answer:

B. g(x) = 3/4|x|

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying the function by a number in front will stretch, compress, and/or reflect the function over the x-axis.

So if the number in front is negative that will flip it upside down, over the x-axis.

If the number is greater than 1, the function will be vertically stretched, narrower, slimmer, skinnier, taller.

In this case, the graph is vertically compressed, making it flatter, fatter, wider smashed. In this case is where the number multiplied in front of the parent function is LESS than one.

g(x) = 3/4 |x|
