Answer:

A. How can the equation be used in temperature conversion?

You take the conversion equation C = (5/9) (F - 32) and you replace the F by the value of Fahrenheit degrees...  then solve the calculations to get the degrees in Celsius.

For example, if you have 80°F to convert in °C:

C = (5/9) (80 - 32) = (5/9) (48) = 26.66 °C

B. How can you use the graph to find the body temp in C?

Using the graph will give a very imprecise measure due the scale of the graph.

But you would have to find 98.6 on the axis of X (it represents the °F), then go upwards until you find the line....

Then report that position on the line on the Y-axis (representing the °C) to get your measure.

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For A:</u> The linear equation is C=\frac{5}{9}F-\frac{32}{9}

<u>For B:</u> The temperature of normal body in degree Celsius is 37° C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For A:</u>

Linear equations are defined as the equations in which the highest power of a variable is '1'. The general equation for a linear equation is:

y=mx+c

where,

y = Y-coordinate

m = slope of the line

x = X - coordinate

c = intercept on y-axis

For the given equation:

C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)

The linear equation representation for the given equation is:

C=\frac{5}{9}F-\frac{32}{9}

  • <u>For B:</u>

We are given a value of temperature in degree Fahrenheit. To calculate its value in degree Celsius, we use the equation above.

Putting value of F = 98.6 in above equation, we get:

C=(\frac{5}{9}\times 98.6)-\frac{32}{9}\\\\C=37

Hence, the temperature of normal body in degree Celsius is 37° C.

When factoring
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

What goes in the blank is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we want to know what goes into the bracket when factorizing the expression above.

What we have a problem with is the terms x^2 - 4x + 4

We can rewrite this as;

x^2 -2x - 2x + 4

x(x-2) -2(x - 2)

That would thus be (x-2)^2

What goes into the bracket is thus the number 2

Find the value of x to the nearest tenth.
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

x = 8.0

Step-by-step explanation:

sin theta = opposite/ hypotenuse

sin 53 = x/10

Multiply by 10 on each side

10 sin 53= x

7.9863551 =x

Rounding to the nearest tenth

Which of the following is an extraneous solution of startroot 4 x 41 endroot = x 5? x = –8 x = –2 x = 2 x = 8
Gnom [1K]

The extraneous solution of startroot 4 x 41 endroot = x 5 will be A. -8.

<h3>What is an extraneous solution?</h3>

It should be noted that an extraneous solution simply means a root of a transformed equation which isn't part of the original equation.

✓4x + 41 = x + 5

Square both sides

4x + 41 = x² + 10x + 25

x² + 6x - 16

x(x + 8) - 2(x + 8) = 0

x + 8 = 0

x= 0 + 8 = 8

A candy company claims that 20% of the candies in its bags are colored green. Steve buys 30 bags of 30 candies, randomly selects
Allisa [31]

Answer:

The probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim is 0.50502.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> denote the number of green candies.

The probability of green candies is, <em>p</em> = 0.20.

Steve buys 30 bags of 30 candies, randomly selects one candy from each, and counts the number of green candies.

So, <em>n</em> = 30 candies are randomly selected.

All the candies are independent of each other.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a binomial distribution with parameter <em>n</em> = 30 and <em>p</em> = 0.20.

It is provided that if there are 5, 6, or 7 green candies, Steve will conclude that the company’s claim is correct.

Compute the probability of 5, 6 and 7 green candies as follows:

P(X=5)={30\choose 5}(0.20)^{5}(1-0.20)^{30-5}=0.17228\\\\P(X=6)={30\choose 6}(0.20)^{6}(1-0.20)^{30-6}=0.17946\\\\P(X=7)={30\choose 7}(0.20)^{7}(1-0.20)^{30-7}=0.15328

Then the probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim is:

P (Accepting the claim) = P (X = 5) + P (X = 6) + P (X = 7)

                                       = 0.17228 + 0.17946 + 0.15328

                                       = 0.50502

Thus, the probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim is 0.50502.

What are some steps for the equation 2=z-14
IgorLugansk [536]
Since the opposite operation of addition is subtraction you subtract. So you add 14 both sides and now z is by itself. finally just add 2 and 14 which is 16
