Answer: 600

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sue planted 4 times as many apple seeds as she planted orange seeds. 15 percent of the apple seeds grew into trees, and 10 percent of the orange seeds grew into trees

Let x be the number of apply seeds and y be the number of orange seeds , the we have the following equations:-

x=4y           (1)

0.15x+0.10y=420            (2)

Put x= 4y in (2), we get

0.15(4y)+0.10y=420

0.60y+0.10y=420

0.70y=420

Divide both sides by 0.70.

y=600

Hence, Sue planted 600 orange seeds.

How to find the maximum or minimum value of a quadratic function?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Vertex form

Step-by-step explanation:

You convert to  vertex form  a(x - b)^2 + c . The coordinates of the maxm/minm will be (b, c).

For example find minimum value of  x^2 + 5x - 6:-

x^2 + 5x - 6

=  (x + 2.5)^2 - 6.25 - 6

= (x + 2.5)^2 - 12.25

The coordinates of minimumm will be (-2.5, -12.25)  The values of the minimum of the function is -12.25

Which of the choices below is not a possible correlation coefficient?
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The condition for r is the following:

-1 \leq r \leq 1

And for this case if we analyze the options the only impossible value is given by:

1.0528

Because this value is higher than 1 and not satisfy the general limits for r

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient is a measure of dispersion and is a value between -1 and 1, and is defined as:

r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}

The condition for r is the following:

-1 \leq r \leq 1

And for this case if we analyze the options the only impossible value is given by:

1.0528

Because this value is higher than 1 and not satisfy the general limits for r
