Answer:

A = 26 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a circle, use the formula A = πr²

We know π = 3.14 and C = 18.

Use the circumference to find "r". C = 2πr

C = 2πr

18 = 2(3.14)r

18 = 6.28r

r = 18/6.28 Exact answer

r ≈ 2.866 Rounded to three decimal places

You can use either of the two bolded "r" values. I will use the rounded answer in the formula for area.

Substitute π = 3.14 and r = 2.866.

A = πr²

A = (3.14)(2.866)² Solve exponents first

A = 3.14(8.213956) Multiply

A = 25.7918218... Unrounded answer

A ≈ 26 Rounded to nearest square foot

Add the units back in.

How many real solutions does the equation y=12x-9x+4 have?

jek_recluse [69]

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

y-(12*x^2-9*x+4)=0

Step by step solution :Step 1 :Equation at the end of step 1 : y - (((22•3x2) - 9x) + 4) = 0 Step 2 :Equation at the end of step 2 : y - 12x2 + 9x - 4 = 0 Step 3 :Solving a Single Variable Equation :

3.1 Solve y-12x2+9x-4 = 0

In this type of equations, having more than one variable (unknown), you have to specify for which variable you want the equation solved.

Which equation has a constant of proportionality equal to 9?

Ad libitum [116K]

Let y directly proportional to X
thus y = CX
where c is proportionality constant
given c= 9
thus y = 9x

Answer:

No, this result is not surprising. It is a little bit more than one standard deviation above 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion of each color in the population (p) = 0.20

Sample size (n) = 20 Skittles

The standard deviation of a sampling distribution is determined by:

$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n}}\\\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{0.20*(1-0.20)}{20}}\\ \sigma =0.089$

The difference between the observed proportion of 0.30, and the mean proportion of 0.20 is 0.10, which is just a little bit more than one standard deviation of 0.089. Therefore, this result is not surprising since it is a little bit more than one standard deviation above 20%.
