Answer:

$\large\boxed{B.\ (f-g)(x)=-x-15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)\\\\f(x)=2x-6,\ g(x)=3x+9\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\(f-g)(x)=(2x-6)-(3x+9)\\\\=2x-6-3x-9\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\=(2x-3x)+(-6-9)\\\\=-x-15$

If a = 7 and b = 11, what is the measure of ∠B? (round to the nearest tenth of a degree)

Naddik [55]

Answer:

57.5 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this is a triangle

a is adjacent is ∠B

b is opposite of ∠B

Use the inverse tangent equation: $tan^{-1} (11/7)$

This equals to 57.52880771

What is obtained by squaring the standard deviation?

anastassius [24]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Variance

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The standard deviation is related to the variance. The standard deviation measures the variation or dispersion of a set of data and is represented by the Greek letter sigma $\sigma$ , while the variance measures how far a set of numbers are spread out from their average value. The variance is obtained by squaring the standard deviation, so the variance can be found as $\sigma^{2}$

A chemical company makes two brands of antifreeze. The first brand is 20% pure antifreeze, and the second brand is 70% pure anti

andre [41]

Answer:

First brand of antifreeze: 21 gallons

Second brand of antifreeze: 9 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call A the amount of first brand of antifreeze. 20% pure antifreeze

Let's call B the amount of second brand of antifreeze. 70% pure antifreeze

The resulting mixture should have 35% pure antifreeze, and 30 gallons.

Then we know that the total amount of mixture will be:

$A + B = 30$

Then the total amount of pure antifreeze in the mixture will be:

$0.2A + 0.7B = 0.35 * 30$

$0.2A + 0.7B = 10.5$

Then we have two equations and two unknowns so we solve the system of equations. Multiply the first equation by -0.7 and add it to the second equation:

$-0.7A -0.7B = -0.7*30$
