Robin purchased 3 1⁄2 ounces of whole wheat cereal for $1.40. What is the cost per ounce?

2 answers:

7 0

40 cents an ounce, since you firstly convert the ounces into a decimal value of9 3.5. Then since you have to find out the unit rate, or cost per ounce, you will then divide the price ($1.40) by the ounces (3.5). This will then get you to 1.4/3.5, which then when calculated gives the answer of .4, equivalent to 40 cents.

1.40 / 3.5 is how you get the answer. 3.5 is 7/2 and 1.40 / (7/2) is 1.40 x 2/7 which is 0.4

For the following hypothesis test, determine the null and alternative hypotheses. Also, classify the hypothesis test as two-tail

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Option B:

$H_0: \mu = 22.1$

$H_a: \mu \neq 22.1$

Classification:

The hypothesis test is Two-tailed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean length of imprisonment for motor-vehicle theft offenders in this country is 22.1 months.

This means that the null hypothesis is that the mean is of 22.1 months, that is:

$H_0: \mu = 22.1$

A hypothesis test is to be performed to determine whether the mean length of imprisonment for motor-vehicle theft offenders in this city differs from the national mean of 22.1 months.

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if this mean is different of 22.1, that is:

$H_a: \mu \neq 22.1$

Which means that the answer is given by option b).

Which of the following is the correct classification of the hypothesis test?

We test if the mean is different from a value, which means that the hypothesis test is Two-tailed.

Step 2 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x as the denominator :

3 3 • x
3 = — = —————
1 x
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

2 - (3 • x) 2 - 3x
——————————— = ——————

5.1 Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

Step 6 :

Pulling out like terms :

6.1 Pull out like factors :

12x + 6 = 6 • (2x + 1)

Equation at the end of step 6 :

6 • (2x + 1)
———————————— = 0

Step 7 :

When a fraction equals zero :

7.1 When a fraction equals zero ...
Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

6•(2x+1)
———————— • x = 0 • x
x
Now, on the left hand side, the x cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :
6 • (2x+1) = 0

Equations which are never true :

7.2 Solve : 6 = 0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Classify the polynomial according to its degree and number of terms 3x^2+8x

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Classifying Polynomials

Polynomials can be classified two different ways - by the number of terms and by their degree.

1. Number of terms.

A monomial has just one term. For example, 4x2 .Remember that a term contains both the variable(s) and its coefficient (the number in front of it.) So the is just one term.

A binomial has two terms. For example: 5x2 -4x

A trinomial has three terms. For example: 3y2+5y-2

Any polynomial with four or more terms is just called a polynomial. For example: 2y5+ 7y3- 5y2+9y-2

Practice classifying these polynomials by the number of terms:

1. 5y

2. 3x2-3x+1

3. 5y-10

4. 8xy

5. 3x4+x2-5x+9

Answers: 1) Monomial 2) Trinomial 3) Binomial 4) Monomial 5) Polynomial

2. Degree. The degree of the polynomial is found by looking at the term with the highest exponent on its variable(s).

Examples:

5x2-2x+1 The highest exponent is the 2 so this is a 2nd degree trinomial.

3x4+4x2The highest exponent is the 4 so this is a 4th degree binomial.

8x-1 While it appears there is no exponent, the x has an understood exponent of 1; therefore, this is a 1st degree binomial.

5 There is no variable at all. Therefore, this is a 0 degree monomial. It is 0 degree because x0=1. So technically, 5 could be written as 5x0.

3x2y5 Since both variables are part of the same term, we must add their exponents together to determine the degree. 2+5=7 so this is a 7th degree monomial.

Classify these polynomials by their degree.

1.7x3+52+1

2.6y5+9y2-3y+8

3.8x-4

4.9x2y+3

5.12x2

Answers 1) 3rd degree 2) 5th degree 3) 1st degree 4) 3rd degree 5) 2nd degree

In what way is geometry related to basic math.

Shtirlitz [24]

Geometry is the study of points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids.Geometry is all about shapes and their properties.
And to do so you must use a ruler to identify them right?

Hope this helps!
