-7 and 8 are the solutions to the given equation system.
Therefore, the maximum distance between the y values of the two equations must lie exactly between their points of intersection. That is on x value:
x = (-7 + 8)/2 = 0.5
The maximum distance is:
y = 0.5 + 56 = 56.5
y = 0.5² = 0.25
56.5 - 0.25 = 56.25 units

Dorothy is using fabric to cover a photo album the width of the fabric is 5/8 of a yard the area of the fabric is 5/16 square ya

saul85 [17]

For this case we assume that the photo album is rectangular in shape and therefore the fabric too. By definition, the area of a rectangle is given by:

$A = a * b$

Where:

a: It is the length of the rectangle

b: It is the width of the rectangle

According to the problem data we have to:

$b =\frac {5}{8} \yard\\A = \frac {5} {16} \ yards ^ 2$

Substituting:

$\frac {5} {16} = a * \frac {5} {8}$

We clear "a":

$a = \frac {\frac {5} {16}} {\frac {5} {8}}\\a = \frac {5 * 8} {16 * 5}\\a = \frac {8} {16}\\a = \frac {1} {2}$

Thus, the length of the fabric is $\frac {1} {2} yards.$

ANswer:

The length of the fabric is $\frac {1} {2} yards.$

Answer:

These numbers are - parameters.

Step-by-step explanation:

A study of all the students at a small college showed a mean age of 20.9 and a standard deviation of 2.9 years.

These numbers are - parameters.

These numbers are parameters as they are for all the students, and merely not a sample.
