Ten (10) more than (+) half (\frac{1}{2}) of a number (x) is (=) eight (8) less than (-) twice (2 x ) the number (x).

\frac{1}{2}x + 10 = 2x - 8   Multiply both sides by 2
x + 20 = 4x - 16   Subtract x from both sides
20 = 3x - 16         Add 16 to both sides
36 = 3x                Divide both sides by 3
12 = x

What is the length of the portion BC of the cloth? ​
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sin32° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{BC}{AC } = \frac{BC}{6} ( multiply both sides by 6 )

6sin32° = BC

PLEASE HELP! Create a table of points from the equation f(x)=3x^2-8x+2. (I'll add a picture of the tables)
DochEvi [55]
<h3>Answer: Choice A</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

If we replace x with 0, then we get...

f(x) = 3x^2-8x+2

f(0) = 3(0)^2 - 8(0) + 2

f(0) = 3(0) - 8(0) + 2

f(0) = 0 - 0 + 2

f(0) = 2

Showing that the input x = 0 leads to the output y = f(x) = 2

The answer is between choice A and choice D because of this. Something like choice B is eliminated because this table shows x = 0 leading to y = -3 which is not correct.

-----------

Let's plug in x = 1

f(x) = 3x^2-8x+2

f(1) = 3(1)^2 - 8(1) + 2

f(1) = 3(1) - 8(1) + 2

f(1) = 3 - 8 + 2

f(1) = -5 + 2

f(1) = -3

So x = 1 leads to y = -3. We can rule out choice D and confirm it is choice A.

We don't need to try other x values since we have the answer, but I recommend practicing with other x values to help confirm that the first table is the answer.

Helpp meeee i don't understand constant of proportionality (don't put pictures i can't see).
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

A) 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Points on the graph: (10, 2) and (20, 4)

Slope:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(4-2)/(20-10)

m= 2/10

m = 1/5

Refer previous problem. Suppose that you wish to estimate the difference between the mean acidity for rainfalls at two different
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Hence,we need at least 136 rainfall PH values in the sample i.e

n ≥ 136

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

(σ1)^2 = (σ2)^2 = Population variance = 0.25

So, E < 0.1

Confidence coefficient (c) = 0.9

n = n1 = n2

For confidence level, 1 - α = 0.9,we'll determine Z (α /2) = Z 0.05 by looking up 0.005 using the normal probability table which i have attached.

So, Z (α /2) = 1.645

The margin of error E is given as;

E = Z (α /2)√[(σ1)^2)/n1] + [(σ2)^2)/n2]

= Z (α /2)√({(σ1)^2 + (σ2)^2}/n) < 0.1

Multiply both sides by √n to get;

Z (α /2)√(σ1)^2 + (σ2)^2} < 0.1√n

Divide both sides by 0.1;

{Z (α /2)√(σ1)^2 + (σ2)^2}}/0.1 <√n

When we square each side, we get

{Z (α /2)√(σ1)^2 + (σ2)^2}}/0.1} ^2 < n

We'll now fill in the known values and solve;

n > ( 1.645 x √{(0.25 + 0.25)/0.1}^2

n > 135.3 or approximately n > 136

Hence,we need at least 136 observations in the sample i.e

n ≥ 136

A quadratic function that has the vertex (-2, -4) and passes through the point (-1, -6)
spayn [35]

Answer:

f(x) = -2 (x + 2)² - 4  

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = a (x - h)² + k     (h , k) is vertex    h = -2     k = -4

pass point (-1 , -6)     f(x) = -6 and x = -1

-6 = a (-1 - (-2))² + (-4)

-6 = a - 4

a = -2

quadratic function: f(x) = -2 (x + 2)² - 4
