Answer:

Each shirt cost $12

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to interpret this question and turn each to an equation, letting shirts represent the letter s and ties represent the letter t.

6 shirts and 3 ties cost $79.50 would be interpreted to 6s+3t=79.5 ,and 3 shirts and 2 ties cost $41 would be interpreted to 3s+2t=41

Hence we have two equations, and we solve them simultaneously.

6s+3t=79.5 (Equation 1)

3s+2t=41 (Equation 2)

We can either use the substitution method or the elimination method but for the sake of this question, we use the Elimination method.

6s+3t=79.5 (Equation 1)

3s+2t=41 (Equation 2)

We multiply equation 1 by 2 and we multiply equation 2 by 3, I'm prefer to eliminate the

2(6s+3t=79.5)

12s+6t=159 Equation 3

3(3s+2t=41)

9s+6t=123 Equation 4

We subtract equation 4 from equation 3.

12s+6t=159

9s+6t=123

12s-9s=3s

6t-6t=0

159-123=36

We therefore have

3s=36

Divide both sides by 3

s=36/3

s=12

One shirt cost $12

On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (negative 2, 4), has a vertex at (0.25, negative 6), and goes throug
serg [7]

The statements true about the the function f(x) = 2x2 – x – 6 are-

  • The vertex of the function is (one-quarter, negative 6 and one-eighth).
  • The function has two x-intercepts.

<h3>What is vertex of parabola?</h3>

The vertex of parabola is the point at the intersection of parabola and its line of symmetry.

Now the given function is,

f(x) = 2x^2 – x – 6

Also, it is given that the vertex is located at (0.25, -6)  and the parabola opens up, the function has two x-intercepts.

Comparing the given function with standard form,

f(x) = a x^2 bx + c

By comprison we get,

a = 2

b = -1

c = -6

Now, x-coordinate of vertex is given as,

x = -b/2a

put the values we get,

x = -(-1)/2*2

or, x = 1/4

Put the value of x in given function, so y-coordinate of the vertex is given as,

f(1/4) = 2(1/4)² - 1/4 - 6

        = -49/6

       = -6 1/8

Hence, The statements true about the the function f(x) = 2x2 – x – 6 are-

  • The vertex of the function is (one-quarter, negative 6 and one-eighth).
  • The function has two x-intercepts.

Suppose the mean height for adult males in the U.S. is about 70 inches and the standard deviation is about 3 inches. Assume men’
nlexa [21]

Question options :

a. They should be between 64 and 76 inches tall.

b. They should be close to the height that is 95% of the mean. That is, 66.5 inches, plus or minus 2 standard deviations.

c. They should be at or below the 95th percentile, which is 74.92 inches.

d. None of the above.

Answer: a. They should be between 64 and 76 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Assume men's height follow a normal curve ; and :

Mean height = 70 inches

Standard deviation= 3 inches

According to the empirical rule ;

Assuming a normal distribution with x being random variables ;

About 68% of x-values lie between -1 to 1 standard deviation of the mean. With about 95% of the x values lying between - 2 and +2 standard deviation of mean. With 99.7% falling between - 3 to 3 standard deviations from the mean.

Using the empirical rule :

95% will fall between + or - 2 standard deviation of the mean.

Lower limit = - 2(3) = - 6

Upper limit = 2(3) = 6

(-6+mean) and (+6+ mean)

(-6 + 70) and (6+70)

64 and 76
