If f(x, y)=xy−x^2, what is the value of f(f(−2, 3), −4)?

I need to turn this into a decimal with explanation

myrzilka [38]

Ok so if you divide that it will be a decimal

so it is 0.68

A $1508 award is shared equally by 8 people. What is each persons share of the award

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

$188.50

Step-by-step explanation:

i got this answer by dividing $1,508 by 8 and you would get 188.5 which would turn into $188.50 and that is how much each person would get.

I hope this helps.

Eleanor scores 680 on the mathematics part of the SAT. The distribution of SAT math scores in recent years has been Normal with

Katen [24]

Answer:

Elanor's standardized score is 1.19
Gerald's standardized score is 0.72
Elanor has higher score

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare Elanor's and Gerald's math scores, we need to standardize them and calculate their z-scores.

z score can be calculated using the formula

z= $\frac{X-M}{s}$ where

X is the student's score

M is the mean score of the exam

s is the standard deviation of the exam

Elanor's standardized score is:

z(e) = $\frac{680-554}{106}$ ≈ 1.19

Gerald's standardized score is:

z(g)= $\frac{27-24.7}{3.2}$ ≈ 0.72

Since z(e) > z(g), Elanor has higher score

Find the exact value of cos(sin^-1(-5/13))

son4ous [18]

bearing in mind that the hypotenuse is never negative, since it's just a distance unit, so if an angle has a sine ratio of -(5/13) the negative must be the numerator, namely -5/13.

$\bf cos\left[ sin^{-1}\left( -\cfrac{5}{13} \right) \right] \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{then we can say that}~\hfill }{sin^{-1}\left( -\cfrac{5}{13} \right)\implies \theta }\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{therefore then}~\hfill }{sin(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{-5}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{13}}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{adjacent}}$

$\bf \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ \pm\sqrt{13^2-(-5)^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{144}=a\implies \pm 12=a \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ cos\left[ sin^{-1}\left( -\cfrac{5}{13} \right) \right]\implies cos(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{\pm 12}}{13}$

le's bear in mind that the sine is negative on both the III and IV Quadrants, so both angles are feasible for this sine and therefore, for the III Quadrant we'd have a negative cosine, and for the IV Quadrant we'd have a positive cosine.

56 is 80 percent of what number

monitta

Let us assume the number to be = x
Then
(80/100) * x = 56
4x/5 = 56
4x = 56 * 5
4x = 280
x = 280/4
= 70
The value of the unknown number is 70. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. You can always use this method for solving similar problems in future without requiring any help from outside. Only thing that needs to be taken care of is the calculation part.
