Answer:

181 penguins on the last day of June.

250th penguin on 7 September.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that in the book 365 Penguins, the family received a new penguin each day. They received their first penguin on January 1st and this pattern continued throughout this non-leap year.  

First of all we need to find number of days in January to June.    

January has 31 days, February has 28 days (Not a leap year), March has 31 days, April has 30 days, May has 31 days and June has 30 days.

\text{Days from January to June}=31+28+31+30+31+30

\text{Days from January to June}=181

Since penguin family receives 1 penguin each day, so 181 penguins will be in 181 days.

Therefore, the penguin family will have 181 penguins on the last day of June.

Now, we need to find the day, which will be on 250th day.

We already know that 181st day would be 30th June.

We know that July and August each has 31 days, so we will add 62 days to 181 that is 181+62=243.

243rd day would be 31st August.

Now, we will add 7 days to 243 days to get 250th day.

Since next month to August is September, therefore, the family will receive 250th penguin on 7 September.

Simple math but I can't seem to understand it: x+y=2 becomes y=2-x, in order to find slope and y intercept y=mx+b The result bec
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we started off with the equation:

x+y=2

And we subtracted x from both sides to acquire:

y=2-x

Now, this is essentially slope-intercept form. Recall that the slope-intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

If we rearrange our equation:

y=2-x\\y=-x+2

And put some parentheses:

y=(-1)x+(2)

We can see that this is indeed slope-intercept form.

And we can see that m is -1 and b is 2.

In other words, the slope is -1 and the y-intercept is 2.

Find 2 numbers a and b such that (a-b)^2 < (a+b)(a-b)< (a+b)^2 Find two numbes a and b such that this is not true
Svet_ta [14]

Suppose for the moment that the inequality holds for all a,b:

(a-b)^2

Expanding everything gives

a^2-2ab+b^2

\implies-ab

In particular, the inequality says that -ab for any choice of a,b. But if a and b>0, then -ab>0 while ab.

So one possible choice of a,b could be a=-1 and b=1. Then we get

(-1-1)^2=4

(-1+1)(-1-1)=2

(-1+1)^2=0

but clearly it's not true that 4.

Which sample fairly represents the population? Select two options.
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

b) observing every person walking down Main Street at 5 p.m. one evening to determine the percentage of people who wear glasses.

d) taking a poll in the lunch room (where all students currently have to eat lunch) to determine the number of students who want to be able to leave campus during lunch.

Step-by-step explanation:

These are the two options that are most likely to give you a sample that fairly represents the population. In the first case, the sample that you obtain is likely to be a good representation because Main Street is a road where a great variety of people walk. Moreover, 5 pm is also a time that will allow you to see  a great number of different people. The second answer will also give you a good sample, as the poll would include all students in the lunch room, which is all students in the school (the whole population).
