Answer:

Wolfrich lived in Portugal 9 months and 5 months in Brazil.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is wrong. This are the corrections for the numbers :

141414 months is actually 14 months.

130130130 new words per month is actually 130 new words per month.

150150150 new words per month is actually 150 new words per month.

192019201920 new words is actually 1920 new words.

In order to solve this exercise, we are going to make a system of equations defining the following variables :

X= Months he lived in Portugal.

Y= Months he lived in Brazil.

We know that Wolfrich lived in Portugal and Brazil for a total period of 14 months in order to learn Portuguese. Therefore, the first equation of our system of equations will be :

X+Y=14 (I)

He learned an average of 130 new words per month when he lived in Portugal and an average of 150 new words per month when he lived in Brazil. In total, he learned 1920 new words. Therefore, our second and final equation of our system of equations will be :

130X+150Y=1920 (II)

With (I) and (II) we form our linear equation system :

\left \{ {{X+Y=14} \atop {130X+150Y=1920}} \right.

From equation (I) we can write

X+Y=14

X=14-Y (III)

If we use (III) in (II) :

130(14-Y)+150Y=1920

1820-130Y+150Y=1920

20Y=100

Y=5

If we replace this information in (I) :

X+5=14

X=14-5

X=9

We find that Wolfrich lived 9 months in Portugal and 5 months in Brazil. One way to verifies the answer is to replace the values of X and Y that we found  in the equations (I) and (II) :

X+Y=14\\9+5=14\\14=14

And finally

130X+150Y=1920\\(130).(9)+(150).(5)=1920\\1170+750=1920\\1920=1920

Which set of ordered pairs could be generated by an exponential function?
klemol [59]

Answer: Third option.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, Exponential functions have the following form:

y = ab^x

Where "b" is the base (b > 0 and b\neq 1), "a" is a coefficient (a\neq 0) and "x" is the exponent.

 It is importat to remember that the "Zero exponent rule" states that  any base with an exponent of 0 is equal to 1.

Then, for an input value 0 (x=0) the output value (value of "y") of the set of ordered pairs that could be generated by an exponential function must be 1 (y=1).

You can observe in the Third option shown in the image that when x=0, y=1

 Therefore, the set of ordered pairs that could be generated by an exponential function is the set shown in the Third option.

Liz wants to estimate the percentage of people who rent their home. She surveys 320 individuals and finds that 176 rent their ho
SOVA2 [1]

Answer: 0.065

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size : n= 320

The sample proportion of people who rent their home : p=\dfrac{176}{320}=0.55

Significance level : \alpha:1-0.98=0.02

Then , Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=2.33

The formula to find the margin of error : -

E=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ E=(2.33)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.55(1-0.55)}{320}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ E=0.064799034281\approx0.065

Hence, the margin of error for the confidence interval for the population proportion with a 98% confidence level =0.065

What is the area of the shaded region plzz help
Aneli [31]

Answer:

78.10 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the shaded region is the area of the rectangle subtracted from the area of the circle.

area of circle = (pi)r^2

area of rectangle = LW

shaded area = area of circle - area of rectangle

shaded area = (pi)r^2 - LW

shaded area = (pi)r^2 - LW

shaded area = (3.14159)(6 cm)^2 - (7 cm)(5 cm)

shaded area = (3.14159)(36 cm^) - 35 cm^2

shaded area = 113.097 cm^2  35 cm^2

shaded area = 78.097 cm^2

Answer: 78.10 cm^2
