Answer:

The American consumed 3.205\times 10^8 gallons of gasoline.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Gasoline consumed by the Americans = 320,500,000 gallons

We have to convert this number into scientific notation.

  • Scientific notation is a method  of writing very large or very small numbers.
  • A number is written in scientific notation when a number between 1 and 10 is multiplied by a power of 10.

The above number can be written in scientific notation in the following manner:

320,500,000 = 3.205\times 10^8

Hence, the American consumed 3.205\times 10^8 gallons of gasoline.

Suppose medical records indicate that
Kay [80]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the random variable representing the the length of newborn babies (in inches). Since it is normally distributed and the population mean and population standard deviation are known, we would apply the formula,

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 20 inches

σ = 2.6 inches

the probability that a given infant is between 14.8 and 25.2 inches long is expressed as

P(14.8 ≤ x ≤ 25.2)

For x = 14.8,

z = (14.8 - 20)/2.6 = - 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.023

For x = 25.2

z = (25.2 - 20)/2.6 = 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.98

Therefore,

P(14.8 ≤ x ≤ 25.2) = 0.98 - 0.23 = 0.75

It should take six hours for him to stay below $315 after you add the flat rate of $180. Goodluck :)

Find the sum and product of the roots. 3x^<br> 2 - 4x - 7 = 0
victus00 [196]
Given the quadratic function, to get the roots we factorize:
3x²-4x-7=0

3x²+3x-7x-7=0
3x(x+1)-7(x+1)=0
(3x-7)(x+1)=0
thus the roots are
x=-1 or x=3/7
thus the sum of the roots will be:
-1+3/7
=-4/7

Which equation is y = 9x2 + 9x – 1 rewritten in vertex form?
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

y = 9(x +\frac{1}{2}) ^ 2 -\frac{13}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation in the vertex form is written as

y = a (x-h) + k

Where the point (h, k) is the vertex of the equation.

 

For an equation in the form ax ^ 2 + bx + c the x coordinate of the vertex is defined as

x = -\frac{b}{2a}

In this case we have the equation y = 9x^2 + 9x - 1.

Where

a = 9\\\\b = 9\\\\c = -1

Then the x coordinate of the vertex is:

x = -\frac{9}{2(9)}\\\\x = -\frac{9}{18}\\\\x = -\frac{1}{2}

The y coordinate of the vertex is replacing the value of x = -\frac{1}{2} in the function

y = 9 (-0.5) ^ 2 + 9 (-0.5) -1\\\\y = -\frac{13}{4}

Then the vertex is:

(-\frac{1}{2}, -\frac{13}{4})

Therefore The encuacion excrita in the form of vertice is:

y = a(x +\frac{1}{2}) ^ 2 -\frac{13}{4}

To find the coefficient a we substitute a point that belongs to the function y = 9x^2 + 9x - 1

The point (0, -1) belongs to the function. Thus.

-1 = a(0 + \frac{1}{2}) ^ 2 -\frac{13}{4}

-1 = a(\frac{1}{4}) -\frac{13}{4}\\\\a = \frac{-1 +\frac{13}{4}}{\frac{1}{4}}\\\\a = 9

<em>Then the written function in the form of vertice is</em>

y = 9(x +\frac{1}{2}) ^ 2 -\frac{13}{4}
