Answer:

A negative exponent means how many times to divide by the number. Example: 8-1 = 1 ÷ 8 = 1/8 = 0.125. Or many divides: Example: 5-3 = 1 ÷ 5 ÷ 5 ÷ 5 = 0.008.

If a train travels 80 m/s in two hours and 20 minutes, how far has it traveled?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

distance = 585600 m

Step-by-step explanation:

change 2 hours 20 minutes to seconds

2  hrs * 60 minutes/1hr * 60 sec/min = 7200 sec

20 minutes * 60 sec/min = 120 sec

2 hr 20 min = 7320 seconds

distance = rate * time

distance = 80 m/s * 7320 s = 585600 m

Scores from an exam are normally distributed with a mean of 85 and a standard deviation of 5. Suppose 188 students take the exam
charle [14.2K]

The mean is \mu=85 and standard deviation is \sigma=5. Then the variable X\sim N(85,5).

Use substitution Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{X-85}{5}, then the variable Z\sim N(0,1).

The probability Pr(X>80) can be calculated in the following way:

for X=80, Z=\dfrac{80-85}{5} =-1 and Pr(X>80)=Pr(Z>-1). From the diagram Pr(Z>-1)=0.34+0.34+0.135+0.025=0.84.

Conclusion: if 188 students take the exam, then 188·0.84=157.92 (157) would receive a score above 80

Sasha can run at an average speed of 934 9 3 4 min/mi. She runs at this speed for 6814 68 1 4 min. How many miles does Sasha run
lutik1710 [3]
I don't know what the spaces are meant for but I think that means 934 and 6814 only. Another point is, speed should be expressed in units of distance over time. So that would be miles/min.

So, distance could be calculated by multiplying speed and time.

d = 934 mi/min * 6814 min
d = 6,364,276 miles

Solve the quadratic equation by factoring: 15x^2+4x-4=0
joja [24]
We can factor by grouping. To do so, we multiply the leading coefficient with the constant at the end. In other words, a times c (ax^2 + bx + c).

15*-4 = -60

Now we need to split the b term into two pieces that multiply to -60 and add to 4.

-6 and 10 will work.

Now group one part of b with the 15x^2 and the other part with -4.

(15x^2 + 10x) + (-6x - 4)

Now factor both terms.

5x(3x+2) - 2(3x+2)

3x+2 is one of our factors and 5x-2 is the other.

(3x+2)(5x-2)=0

Now just find the zeros.

3x+2 = 0
3x = -2
x = -2/3

And

5x-2 = 0
5x = 2
x = 2/5

So the answer is x = -2/3 and x = 2/5
