Answer:
mount whitney..............
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
A. is wrong because having a different height for each seedling and not trying to keep it equal is simply worse than making sure the heights are identical.
B. Completely wrong because it would likely result in 1 plot having more melon seedlings than the other.
C. Correct because it makes sure the seedlings are the same height at the beginning of the experiment, allowing less randomness in the experiment.
D. Putting the taller of a each pair for 1 plot makes it the experiment rigged in favor of the plot with taller seedlings
E. Same issue as D.

13, 17, 19, and 23
Step-by-step explanation:
13+17+19+23=72
Answer:
km
Step-by-step explanation:
The submarine's path from its base forms a right triangle when its final position is "connected" to the base. We know that the right triangle has legs of
km and
km, and we need to find the length of its hypotenuse. To do so, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that in a right triangle,
, where
and
are the lengths of the triangle's legs and
is the length of the triangle's hypotenuse. In this case, we know what
and
are, and we need to solve for c, so after substituting the given values of
and
into
to solve for c, we get:

(Substitute
and
into the equation)
(Evaluate the squares on the LHS)
(Simplify the LHS)
(Symmetric Property of Equality)
(Take the square root of both sides of the equation)
(Simplify)
is an extraneous solution because you can't have negative distance, if that makes sense, so therefore, the submarine is approximately
km away from its base. Hope this helps!
This problem can be readily solved if we are familiar with the point-slope form of straight lines:
y-y0=m(x-x0) ...................................(1)
where
m=slope of line
(x0,y0) is a point through which the line passes.
We know that the line passes through A(3,-6), B(1,2)
All options have a slope of -4, so that should not be a problem. In fact, if we check the slope=(yb-ya)/(xb-xa), we do find that the slope m=-4.
So we can check which line passes through which point:
a. y+6=-4(x-3)
Rearrange to the form of equation (1) above,
y-(-6)=-4(x-3) means that line passes through A(3,-6) => ok
b. y-1=-4(x-2) means line passes through (2,1), which is neither A nor B
****** this equation is not the line passing through A & B *****
c. y=-4x+6 subtract 2 from both sides (to make the y-coordinate 2)
y-2 = -4x+4, rearrange
y-2 = -4(x-1)
which means that it passes through B(1,2), so ok
d. y-2=-4(x-1)
this is the same as the previous equation, so it passes through B(1,2),
this equation is ok.
Answer: the equation y-1=-4(x-2) does NOT pass through both A and B.
