an office supply company is shipping a case of wooden pencils. there are 64 boxes of pencils in the case. if each box of pencils

weighs 2.5 ounces, what is the eight, in pounds, of the case of wooden pencils.

Answer:

Since there are 64 boxes you would multiply 64 and 2.5. After you get that answer (which will be 160.0) (which is technically 160) divide that by 16. And your answer will be 10.

Equation:

64 x 2.5 = 160.0 divided by 16 = 10

Write the equation of the circle whose center is (-5, -8) with diameter 12

lora16 [44]

Answer:

(x + 5)^2 + (y + 8)^2 = 6^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A circle formula: (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

We are given diameter. To find the radius divide diameter by 2.

d = 12

12/2 = r = 6

H and K are given to be (-5 , -8)

(x - (-5))^2 + (y - (-8))^2 = 6^2

(x + 5)^2 + (y + 8)^2 = 6^2

I have plot this equation to confirm my answer is correct where the origin is (-5 , -8) and has a radius of 6.

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

d. 46.19

Step-by-step explanation:

y=124.85(0.37)

to figure out the percent decrease, subtract the percent from 100. then divide by 100 to get a decimal. multiply that decimal by the original cost to get the answer.

The sum of first three terms of a finite geometric series is -7/10 and their product is -1/125. [Hint: Use a/r, a, and ar to rep

Alchen [17]

Ooh, fun

geometric sequences can be represented as
$a_n=a(r)^{n-1}$
so the first 3 terms are
$a_1=a$
$a_2=a(r)$
$a_2=a(r)^2$

the sum is -7/10
$\frac{-7}{10}=a+ar+ar^2$
and their product is -1/125
$\frac{-1}{125}=(a)(ar)(ar^2)=a^3r^3=(ar)^3$

from the 2nd equation we can take the cube root of both sides to get
$\frac{-1}{5}=ar$
note that a=ar/r and ar²=(ar)r
so now rewrite 1st equation as
$\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{ar}{r}+ar+(ar)r$
subsituting -1/5 for ar
$\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{\frac{-1}{5}}{r}+\frac{-1}{5}+(\frac{-1}{5})r$
which simplifies to
$\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{-1}{5r}+\frac{-1}{5}+\frac{-r}{5}$
multiply both sides by 10r
-7r=-2-2r-2r²
add (2r²+2r+2) to both sides
2r²-5r+2=0
solve using quadratic formula
for $ax^2+bx+c=0$
$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$
so
for 2r²-5r+2=0
a=2
b=-5
c=2

$r=\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^2-4(2)(2)}}{2(2)}$
$r=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25-16}}{4}$
$r=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{9}}{4}$
$r=\frac{5 \pm 3}{4}$
so
$r=\frac{5+3}{4}=\frac{8}{4}=2$ or $r=\frac{5-3}{4}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

use them to solve for the value of a
$\frac{-1}{5}=ar$
$\frac{-1}{5r}=a$
try for r=2 and 1/2
$a=\frac{-1}{10}$ or $a=\frac{-2}{5}$

test each
for a=-1/10 and r=2
a+ar+ar²= $\frac{-1}{10}+\frac{-2}{10}+\frac{-4}{10}=\frac{-7}{10}$
it works

for a=-2/5 and r=1/2
a+ar+ar²= $\frac{-2}{5}+\frac{-1}{5}+\frac{-1}{10}=\frac{-7}{10}$
it works

both have the same terms but one is simplified

the 3 numbers are $\frac{-2}{5}$ , $\frac{-1}{5}$ , and $\frac{-1}{10}$

Explain the difference between qualitative and quantitative data. Choose the correct answer below. A. Quantitative data are coll

Leona [35]

The correct answer is F. Quantitative data are numerical in nature, while qualitative data are categorical in nature.

Explanation:

In research and all the different fields that apply to it, the word "data" refers to information, values or knowledge that can be used to understand a specific situation or phenomenon. Additionally, data can be of two different types quantitative and qualitative, these differ in their nature, the phenomenons they described and the way they should be analyzed. Indeed quantitative data refers mainly to numerical data or information about quantities such as statistics that are especially useful in mathematics, science and similar that focus on numbers. On the other hand, qualitative data refers to data based on categories or qualities and because of this qualitative data is used in humanistic research, although both types of data can be combined to study a phenomenon. Considering this, the key difference between both types of data is "Quantitative data are numerical in nature, while qualitative data are categorical in nature".
