Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to think about this is on a number line. -4 would be on the left of 0 meaning it is less than 0 and $\frac{1}{5}$ is on the right side of 0 but it is less than 1.

Identify the data set that could be quadratic. HELP ASAP!!

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Option B can be quadratic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a look at the data.

A quadratic equation is of the form ,

$y = ax^{2} +bx + c$ ,

where, a,b,c are constants.

To find an unknown equation of 3 variables,

we need 3 points lying on the equation.

here they have given, 5 points, meaning all should lie on the curve.

For first option, inserting first 3 points to find equation, we get equation as,

$y = x^{2} -4x +11$ , but the rest points don't satisfy the curve.

So first option is not quadratic.

Similarly, it can be shown that option C and D are also not quadratic.

While, in option B, it is clear that for every y, x is y squared,

$x = y^{2}$ , thus quadratic in nature.

A 6 inch personal pizza has 640 calories, with 240 of those from fat. A 12 inch pizza is cutinto 8 slices. Estimate the number o

MissTica

Given:

Number calories in a 6-inch pizza = 640 calories

For the pizza of 6 inch

$A=\pi(3)^2=9\pi$

For the pizza of 12 inch

$A=\pi(6)^2=36\pi$

Number calories in a 6-inch pizza = 640 calories, therefore:

$\frac{A_{6\text{ inch}}}{A_{12\text{ inch}}}=\frac{640}{x}$

Substitute:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{9\pi}{36\pi}=\frac{640}{x} \\ Simplify \\ \frac{1}{4}=\frac{640}{x} \end{gathered}$

And solve for x:

$\begin{gathered} 1\cdot x=4\cdot640 \\ x=2560 \end{gathered}$

Now, Estimate the number of calories in one slice of a 12 inch pizza:

$\frac{2560}{8}=320$

Answer: 320 calories

why do whole numbers raised to an exponent get greater while fractions raised to an exponent get smaller?

Scrat [10]

Because 3^2 = 9
When you do (⅓)^2 what you are really doing is
(1^2)/(3^2) = 1/9

If you have (⅔)^2 you do
(2^2)/(3^2) = 4/9

Fractions get smaller because the denominator is also being squared which makes the denominator get bigger and when the denominator is bigger, you are dividing by a larger number which gives you a smaller answer. Whereas when you raise a whole number to an exponent, only the numerator get bigger because the denominator is 1 and 1 raised to any exponent is still 1

3^2 = (3^2)/(1^2) = 9/1 = 9

Suppose that 10% of adults belong to health clubs, and 40% of these health club members go to the club at least twice a week. Wh

kozerog [31]

Answer:

4% of all adults go to a health club at least twice a week

Step-by-step explanation:

the proportion of adults who belong to health clubs is 10% that is 0.10

the proportion of these adults (health club members) go to the club at least twice a week is 40%, that is 0.40.

Thus, the proportion of all adults go to a health club at least twice a week is

0.10 × 0.40 = 0.04, that is 4%
