Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A is the correct answer because the equation matches option A.

(-2 1/2) + (-3 1/4)

The minus sign in -2 1/2 shows that the submarine descended and then descended again with the addition sign. Though the addition sign can mean that it ascended its incorrect.

With the equation in hand, we can prove that option A is correct.

If the submarine descended 2 1/2 miles then here must be a minus sign next to the 2 1/2. But if it ascended then there would've been an addition sign to show that it ascended. The other value - 3 1/4 also shows that it ascended with the help of the addition sign.

Ascends - values increase from smallest to highest.

Descends - values decrease from highest to smallest.

Answer:

193.586 deaths per 100,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The cause-specific mortality rate for a disease in a per 100,000 basis is determined as the total number of deaths due to the disease multiplied by 100,000 and divided by the average (mid-year) total population.

There were 597,689 deaths due to diseases of the heart in a population of 308,745,538 people. The cause-specific mortality rate for diseases of the heart per 100,000 in this population is:

$M=\frac{597,689}{308,745,538}*100,000\\ M=193.586\ deaths/100,000$

The mortality rate is 193.586 deaths per 100,000.

Use synthetic division to find P (-10) for P(x)=2x^3+14x^2-58x

Savatey [412]

The polynomial remainder theorem states that the remainder upon dividing a polynomial $p(x)$ by $x-c$ is the same as the value of $p(c)$ , so to find $p(-10)$ you need to find the remainder upon dividing

$\dfrac{2x^3+14x^2-58x}{x+10}$

You have

..... | 2 ... 14 ... -58
-10 | ... -20 ... 60
--------------------------
..... | 2 ... -6 .... 2

So the quotient and remainder upon dividing is

$\dfrac{2x^3+14x^2-58x}{x+10}=2x-6+\dfrac2{x+10}$

with a remainder of 2, which means $p(-10)=2$ .
