Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting it to z, we can use the formula of z-score:

z-score = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Where

x is the value we are checking for (here, x = 79)

\mu  is the mean, which is 85

\sigma is the standard deviation, which is 4 now

<em>Let's plug the information into the formula and solve for the answer:</em>

<em>\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\frac{79-85}{4}\\-\frac{6}{4}\\-1.5</em>

<em />

<em>B is the correct answer.</em>

Tell the maximum number of zeros that the polynomial function may have. then use​ descartes' rule of signs to determine how many
Marta_Voda [28]
F(x) = -4x^7 +x^3 -x^2 +5

a) It is a degree 7 polynomial, so will have 7 zeros (some may be repeated).

b) has 3 sign changes, so 1 or 3 positive real zeros. If odd powers have their signs reversed, the signs are changed to +--+, so there are 2 sign changes. There will be 0 or 2 negative real zeros.

____
There is actually 1 positive real zero and 0 negative real zeros. This means there are 3 conjugate pairs of complex zeros.

25 is 36% of what number
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

x = 69.44

Step-by-step explanation:

We have, 36% × x = 25

or, 36/100 × x = 25

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 36,

we have x = 25 × 100/36

x = 69.44

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 25×100÷36, which will give you the answer.
