<h2>Answer:</h2>

$b. \ \boxed{32 \sq. \ units}$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral where at least one pair of opposite sides are parallel. In a trapezoid, the both parallel sides are known as the bases of the trapezoid. So we have two bases, namely, $b_{1}\,and\,b_{2}$ . Also, the height $H$ of the trapezoid is the length between these two bases that's perpendicular to both sides. So the area of a trapezoid in terms of of $b_{1},b_{2}\:and\:H$ is:

$A=\frac{(b_{1}\text{+}b_{2})h}{2}$

Since:

$b_{1}=6, \ b_{2}=10, \ and \ H=4$

The area is:

$A=\frac{(6\text{+}10)4}{2}=\boxed{32 \sq. \ units}$

Here is a sketch of y=x^2+bx+c The curve intersects

atroni [7]

Answer:

y = 18 and x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2+bx+c To find the turning point, or vertex, of this parabola, we need to work out the values of the coefficients b and c. We are given two different solutions of the equation. First, (2, 0). Second, (0, -14). So we have a value (-14) for c. We can substitute that into our first equation to find b. We can now plug in our values for b and c into the equation to get its standard form. To find the vertex, we can convert this equation to vertex form by completing the square. Thus, the vertex is (4.5, –6.25). We can confirm the solution graphically Plugging in (2,0) :

y=x2+bx+c

0=(2)^2+b(2)+c

y=4+2b+c

-2b=4+c

b=-2+2c

Plugging in (0,−14) :

y=x2+bx+c

−14=(0)2+b(0)+c

−16=0+b+c

b=16−c

Now that we have two equations isolated for b , we can simply use substitution and solve for c . y=x2+bx+c 16 + 2 = y y = 18 and x = -2

There are 9,481 eligible voters in a precinct. 500 were selected at random and asked to indicate whether they planned to vote fo

maria [59]

Answer:

The confidence limits for the proportion that plan to vote for the Democratic incumbent are 0.725 and 0.775.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

Of the 500 surveyed, 350 said they were going to vote for the Democratic incumbent.

This means that $n = 500, \pi = \frac{350}{500} = 0.75$

80% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.2$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.2}{2} = 0.9$ , so $Z = 1.28$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.75 - 1.28\sqrt{\frac{0.75*0.25}{500}} = 0.725$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.75 + 1.28\sqrt{\frac{0.75*0.25}{500}} = 0.775$

The confidence limits for the proportion that plan to vote for the Democratic incumbent are 0.725 and 0.775.

F(-5) just means that your substituting the number -5 for every x value. So if you have x+1 this would be -5+1 which is -4
