Answer:

Is x = 4 a solution to the equation 6 = x + 2? YES

Is x = 4 a solution to the inequality 2x ≥ 9? NO

Step-by-step explanation:

Is x = 4 a solution to the equation 6 = x + 2? YES

we cans solve the equation 6=x+2 by clearing for x:

6 = x + 2

we move the +2 on the right as a -2 to the left:

6 - 2 = x

4 = x

this way we find that indeed x = 4 is a solution to 6 = x + 2.

Is x = 4 a solution to the inequality 2x ≥ 9? NO

Let's solve the inequality by clearing for x:

2x ≥ 9

we move the 2 that is multiplying on the left to divide on the right side:

x ≥ 9/2

x ≥ 4.5 ⇒ x must be greater than or equal to 4.5

thus, 4 is not a solution to the inequality because 4 is less than 4.5

Data consistent with summary quantities in the article "Effects of Fast-Food Consumption on Energy Intake and Diet Quality Among

Olegator [25]

Answer:

a) X[bar]₁= 1839.20 cal

b) X[bar]₂= 1779.07 cal

c) S₁= 386.35 cal

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have two independent samples,

Sample 1: n₁= 15 children that did not eat fast food.

Sample 2: n₂= 15 children that ate fast food.

The study variables are:

X₁: Calorie consumption of a kid that does not eat fast food in one day.

X₂: Calorie consumprion of a kid that eats fast food in one day.

The point estimate of the population mean is the sample mean

X[bar]₁= (∑X₁/n₁) = (27588/15)= 1839.20 cal

X[bar]₂= (∑X₂/n₂)= (26686/15)= 1779.07 cal

To calculate the sample standard deiation, you have to calculate the sample variance first:

S₁²= $\frac{1}{n_1-1}$ [∑X₁² - (( ∑X₁)²/n₁)]= $\frac{1}{14} + [52829538 - (\frac{27588^{2} }{15})$ = 149263.4571 cal²

S₁= 386.35 cal

I hope it helps!

The length of a swimming pool is 8 m longer than it's width and the area is 105m²

Art [367]

width= 7m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area= L×W

L= (x+8)m

W=8m

105m²= (x+8)m × (x)m

105m²= x² + 8x

-x² - 8x + 105= 0

(x-7) (x+15) = 0

x= 7 x= -15

x=width = 7m

The tallest tree in the world is reputed to be a giant redwood named Hyperion located in Redwood National Park in California, US

dlinn [17]

Answer:

114.02 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The information you're given about the tree will form a triangle, with the three corners being the top of the tree, the point where the tree meets the ground, and the specified point 41.5 meters from the tree. The angle of elevation (70°) is the angle made where the line representing the ground and the line connecting the top of the tree to the ground at the specified point connect.

The angle where the tree meets the ground is 90°, so the triangle a right triangle.

So this all means you know one angle of a right triangle (70°) and the side adjacent to this angle (41.5 meters). You're solving for the height of the tree, which is the side opposite of the angle you know. You can solve using either Sine, Cosine, or Tangent.

Use the acronym SOHCAHTOA to figure out which of those three functions to use. Feel free to look this up for more information if you haven't heard of it before. In this case, we're using Tangent (TOA = Tangent, Opposite side, Adjacent side)

To solve using any of those three functions, you'll need a scientific calculator. On your calculator, you'll see the buttons SIN, COS, andTAN. For this problem, press TAN and you'll see something appear that says tan (___). You'll need to input a number to get your answer, and here's how to find that number:

Again referencing SOHCAHTOA, the "TOA" part lists Opposite first and then Adjacent. This is because you're going to write a fraction with those two numbers, and since Opposite is first, it's the numerator. That means that Adjacent is the denominator. We don't know the value of the opposite side, so it'll be represented by x, and we do know the value of the adjacent side, 41.5. This means the fraction is $\frac{x}{41.5}$ .
