Answer:
Option A) independent variable – self-affirmations; dependent variable – self-esteem scores
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
"Wood and colleagues (2009) examined the value of self-affirmation. In a typical study, participants either engaged or did not engage in self-affirmations. Later, their current self-esteem was assessed."
Independent and Dependent Variable:
- Dependent variable is the variable whose value depends on the independent variable.
- Independent variable is the free variable.
For the given scenario, self esteem is assessed based on the fact that participants either engaged or did not engage in self-affirmations.
Thus, the dependent variable is self esteem and the independent variable is engagement in self affirmation.
Thus, the correct answer is
Option A) independent variable – self-affirmations; dependent variable – self-esteem scores
Kilo is the unit prefix for multiplication by one thousand. Therefore, a kilogram, or kg, is equal to one thousand grams. To convert grams to kilograms, you simply have to multiply the number of kilograms to grams.
So, for example, if you had 16.24kg of a compound, it would equal:
Given:
Principal = 17,000
rate = 10.7%
term = x/360
interest = 1,121.72
Interest = Principal * rate * term
1,121.72 = 17,000 * .107 * x/360
1,121.72 = 1,819x / 360
1,121.72 * 360 = 1,819x
403,632 / 1,819 = x
221.90 = x
Lauren Michelle will have to wait 222 days for her investment to earn $1,121.72
Given:
Principal = x
rate = 9%
term = 10 months
interest = 1,687.50
Interest = Principal * rate * term
1,687.50 = x * 0.09 * 10/12
1,687.50 = x * 0.075
1,687.50 / 0.075 = x
22,500 = x
The amount Sandra Leatherwood invested was $22,500.
Answer:
(x + 1)² = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
-2x = x² - 6
We'll start by rearranging it to solve for zero:
x² + 2x - 6 = 0
The first term is already a perfect square so that's fine. Normally, if that term had a non-square coefficient, you would need to multiply all terms a value that would change that constant to a perfect square.
Because it's already square (1), we can simply move to the next step, separating the -6 into a value that can be doubled to give us the 2, the coefficient of the second term. That value will of course be 1, giving us:
x² + 2x + 1 - 1 - 6 = 0
Now can group our perfect square on the left and our constants on the right:
x² + 2x + 1 - 7= 0
x² + 2x + 1 = 7
(x + 1)² = 7
To check our answer, we can solve for x:
x + 1 = ± √7
x = -1 ± √7
x ≈ 1.65, -3.65
Let's try one of those in the original equation:
-2x = x² - 6
-2(1.65) = 1.65² - 6
- 3.3 = 2.72 - 6
-3.3 = -3.28
Good. Given our rounding that difference of 2/100 is acceptable, so the answer is correct.
Yes. it would be only about 5 pounds
