Answer:

1. Set a has two numbers with different number of digits and set b has two number with same number of digits

2. Alissa conjecture is true

3. Her strategy is the number which has the greatest ten thousand place is the greatest number because hundred thousand place has same digit in both numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets explain how we can solve the problem </em>

- Alisa says it is easier to compare the numbers in set

 a (45,000, 1,025,680) instead of set b (492,111, 409,867)

∵ Set a has two numbers one of them 5-digit and the other is 7-digit

∵ Set b has two numbers both of them 6-digit

∴ We can decide whether Alissa conjecture is true or not

1. Set a has two numbers with different number of digits and set b

   has two number with same number of digits

-  Lets look to set a there are two numbers

  45,000 and 1,025,680

∵ The first number formed fro 5 digits and the greatest place value

  is ten thousands

∵ The second number formed from 7 digits and the greatest place

   value is million

∴ The second number is greatest then the first number

- <u><em>She did that without looking to the digits and compare them</em></u>

- Lets look to set b there are two numbers

  492,111 and 409,867

∵ The first number formed from six digits and the greatest place

   value is hundred thousands

∵ The second number formed from six digits and the greatest place

   value is hundred thousands

∴ The two numbers have same number of digits

∴ We must start to compare the digits from greatest place value

- <u><em>She must compare the corresponding digits to find the greatest one</em></u>

2. Alissa conjecture is true because she can compare the number in

  set a by counting the number of digits but in set b she must

  compare the corresponding digits

∵ The greatest place value is hundred thousands and the two

  numbers have the same digit 4 in this place, so she must look

  to the ten thousand place

∵ The ten thousands digit in the first number is 9

∵ The ten thousands digit in the second number is 0

∵ 9 > 0

∴ The first number is greater than the second number

3. Her strategy is the number which has the greatest ten thousand

   place is the greatest number because hundred thousand place

   has same digit in both numbers

Given the function h(x) = 3(5)x, Section A is from x = 0 to x = 1 and Section B is from x = 2 to x = 3.
otez555 [7]

We can write the function in terms of y rather than h(x) so that:

y = 3 (5)^x

 

A. The rate of change is simply calculated as:

r = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1) where r stands for rate

 

Section A:

rA = [3 (5)^1 – 3 (5)^0] / (1 – 0)

rA = 12

 

Section B:

rB = [3 (5)^3 – 3 (5)^2] / (3 – 2)

rB = 300

 

B. We take the ratio of rB / rA:

rB/rA = 300 / 12

rB/rA = 25

 

So we see that the rate of change of section B is 25 times greater than A

Answer:

Which of these sentences from the excerpt most strongly supports the correct answer to Question 5?

Answer choices for the above question

Quesiton 5 says

Which of these inferences about the author’s point of view is best supported by the entire excerpt?

From: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" lesson

A. “She’s simply called HeLa, the code name given to the world’s first immortal human cells—her cells, cut from her cervix just months before she died.”

B. “I’ve spent years staring at that photo, wondering what kind of life she led, what happened to her children, and what she’d think about cells from her cervix living on forever—bought, sold, packaged, and shipped by the trillions to laboratories around the world.”

C. “One scientist estimates that if you could pile all HeLa cells ever grown onto a scale, they’d weigh more than 50 million metric tons—an inconceivable number, given that an individual cell weighs almost nothing.”

D. “All of the stories mentioned that scientists had begun doing research on Henrietta’s children, but the Lackses didn’t seem to know what that research was

a sixteen sided number cube has the numbers 1 through 16 on each face. each face is equally likely to show after a roll. what is
solong [7]
The possibilities of an even number are  2,  4,  6,  8,  10,  12,  14, and  16 .

The possibilities of an odd prime are  3,  5,  7,  11,  and  13.

8 even numbers + 5 odd primes  =  13 possibilities of success

                                                 out of 16 total possible outcomes.

Probability of success  =  13/16 =   0.8125  =  81.25% .

Rounded to the nearest thousandth, it's 0.813 .
