At a distance of 10 cm from a presumably isotropic, radioactive source, a pair of students measure 55 cps (cps = counts per seco

nd). On average, how many counts per second do you expect at a distance of 22 cm?

With an isotropic source, you can think on the radiation like a expanding sphere, where you will measure the same cps in any point while you keep the same distance to the source, ence the radius of the sphere remains constant. So, you know that the relation depends on the radius, also, when the sphere grows, the radiation in it expands in more surface, ence the density of particles will decrease, particularly, like \frac{1}{r^{2} }

then, in 15cm you will have 55cps = A/(10*10) where A is the "intensity of the source" whit this you can know the value of A = 55cps*100cm^{2}.

then, for 22cm, Y = 55cps*100/(22*22) = 20.66 cps.

Elanso [62]

Answer:

<h3>The option B) is correct.</h3><h3>That is the line that makes the sum of the squares of the vertical distances of the data points from the line (the sum of squared residuals) as small as possible is correct answer</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that " The least-squares regression line "

The least-squares regression line is <u>the line that makes the sum of the squares of the vertical distances of the data points from the line (the sum of squared residuals) as small as possible.</u>

Therefore option B) is correct

Point B has coordinates ​(3​,2​). The​ x-coordinate of point A is −6. The distance between point A and point B is 15 units. What
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Distance between two points= √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

D= 15units

Let "k" be the y-coordinate of A

A(-6,k)

B(3,2)

15= √(3--6)²+(2-k)²

Taking square of both sides to eliminate the square root.

15²=(9)²+(2-k)²

225=81+4-4k+k²

k²-4k - 140=0

Using Quadratic Formula to evaluate

k= 14 or k=-10

The Possible coordinates of A are

(-6,14) or (-6,-10)

Express your answer as a polynomial in standard form.
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

f(g(x)) = 6x^2+6x+11

Step-by-step explanation:

f(g(x)) = 2(3x^2+3x+7) - 3\\f(g(x)) = 6x^2 + 6x + 14 - 3\\f(g(x)) = 6x^2+6x+11
