What’s the rational number has -0.875 as its decimal equivalent

1 answer:

8 0

Get rid of the decimal first.
-0.875*1000
-875/1000=-0.875
Simplify it since both denominator and numerator is divisible by 5
1/5(-875/1000)
-175/200
Still divisible by 5
1/5(-175/200)
-35/40
Keep going
-7/8
There, now it can’t be more simplified.

Prove algebraically that r = 10/2+2sinTheta is a parabola

Xelga [282]

Answer:

$y = - \frac{ 1 }{10} {x}^{2} + \frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to prove algebraically that:

$r = \frac{10}{2 + 2 \sin \theta}$

is a parabola.

We use the relations

${r}^{2} = {x}^{2} + {y}^{2}$

and

$y = r \sin \theta$

Before we substitute, let us rewrite the equation to get:

$r(2 + 2 \sin \theta) = 10$

$r(1+ \sin \theta) = 5$

Expand :

$r+ r\sin \theta= 5$

We now substitute to get:

$\sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} } + y = 5$

This means that:

$\sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} }=5 - y$

Square:

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} =(5 - y)^{2}$

Expand:

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} =25 - 10y + {y}^{2}$

${x}^{2} =25 - 10y$

${x}^{2} - 25 = - 10y$

$y = - \frac{ {x}^{2} }{10} + \frac{5}{2}$

This is a parabola (0,2.5) and turns upside down.

olchik [2.2K]

If we let p and t be the masses of the paper and textbook, respectively, the equations that would best represent the given in this item are:
(1) 20p + 9t = 44.4
(2) (20 + 5)p + (9 + 1)t = 51

The values of p and t from the equation are 0.6 and 3.6, respectively. Thus, each paperback weighs 0.6 pounds and each textbook weighs 3.6 pounds.

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

90% confidence interval for the proportion of fans who bought food from the concession stand

(0.5603,0.6529)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given sample size 'n' =300

Given data random sample of 300 attendees of a minor league baseball game, 182 said that they bought food from the concession stand.

Given sample proportion

$p^{-} = \frac{x}{n} = \frac{182}{300} =0.606$

level of significance = 90% or 0.10

Z₀.₁₀ = 1.645

90% confidence interval for the proportion is determined by

$(p^{-} - Z_{0.10}\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } , p^{-} +Z_{0.10}\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} })$

$(0.6066 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.6066(1-0.6066)}{300} } ,0.6066+1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.6066(1-0.6066)}{300} })$

(0.6066 - 0.0463 ,0.6066 + 0.0463)

(0.5603,0.6529)

final answer:-

90% confidence interval for the proportion of fans who bought food from the concession stand

(0.5603,0.6529)

Please help me I really need this

pshichka [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a horizontal line at the end of the 8 meter horizontal line.

Find the area of the horizontal rectangle

L = 8 + 3

W = 2

Area = L*w

Area = 11*2

area = 22 m^2

Now do the vertical rectangle

L = 8

w = 3

Area = L*w

Area = 8 * 3

Area = 24 m^2

Total Area = 24 + 22 = 46 m^2
