The time a projectile spends in the air can be modeled by the equation t² -t - 8 = 0, in which t represents the amount of time t

raveled, in seconds. Which of the following is equivalent to the equation t² - 2t - 8 = 0?
(t + 4)(t - 2) = 0
t -4)(t - 2) = 0
(t + 4)(t + 2) = 0
(t - 4) (t + 2) = 0

Answer:

(t - 4)(t + 2) = 0  

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for a quadratic expression is

y = ax² + bx + c

Your expression is

y = t² - 2t - 8 = 0

By comparison, we see that

a = 1; b = -2; c = -8

1. Find two numbers that multiply to give ac and add to give b.

In this case, find two numbers that multiply to give -8 and add to give -2.

It helps to list the factors of  -8.

They are ±1, ±2, ±4, and ±8

After a little trial and error, you should find the numbers -4 and +2.

-4 × 2 = -8, and -4 + 2 = -2)

2. Rewrite the middle term with those numbers

t² -4t + 2t - 8 = 0

3. Factor the first and last pairs of terms separately

t(t - 4) +2(t - 4) = 0

4. Separate the common factor

The common factor is t - 4.

(t - 4)(t + 2) = 0

The answer would be A)20/77.
The reason is that without replacement it would go (10/22)*(12/21)=0.2597
You can do the easy route I did then do (20/77) which would also give you 0.2597.

Answer:

The unit rate is accurately \frac{1}{4} (km/minute)

Step-by-step explanation:

(1,1/4) means that the vehicle traveled 1/4 km within 1 minute.

The unit rate for this problem is also known as the speed of the vehicle.

So to find the speed, you need to use distance over time.

---> Unit rate: \frac{1}{4}\\ / 1 = \frac{1}{4} (km/minute)

(2,1/2) means that the vehicle traveled 1/2 km within 2 minutes.

Same process:

---> Unit rate: \frac{1}{2} / 2 =

Because of this, the unit rate is accurately \frac{1}{4} (km/minute)

In Problems 1-8, determine the level of measurement of each variable.
lbvjy [14]

The level of measurement of each given variable are:

1. Ordinal

2. Nominal

3. Ratio

4. Interval

5. Ordinal

6. Nominal

7. Ratio

8. Interval

Level of measurement is used in assigning measurement to variables depending on their attributes.

There are basically four (4) levels of measurement (see image in the attachment):

1. <u>Nominal:</u> Here, values are assigned to variables just for naming and identification sake. It is also used for categorization.

  • Examples of variables that fall under the measurement are: Favorite movie, Eye Color.

<u>2. Ordinal:</u> This level of measurement show difference between variables and the direction of the difference. In order words, it shows magnitude or rank among variables.

  • Examples of such variables that fall under this are: highest degree conferred, birth order among siblings in a family.

<u>3. Interval Scale:</u> this third level of measurement shows magnitude, a known equal difference between variables can be ascertain. However, this type of measurement has <em>no true zero</em> point.

  • Examples of the variables that fall here include: Monthly temperatures, year of birth of college students

4. Ratio Scale: This scale of measurement has a "true zero". It also has every property of the interval scale.

  • Examples are: ages of children, volume of water used.

Therefore, the level of measurement of each given variable are:

1. Ordinal

2. Nominal

3. Ratio

4. Interval

5. Ordinal

6. Nominal

7. Ratio

8. Interval
