Answer:
It is the distance that - 5 is from 0 on the number line.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to select a statement that is true about the value of StartAbsoluteValue negative 5 EndAbsoluteValue i.e. |- 5|
Definition of the absolute value function is given by, |x| = x for, x ≥ 0 and |x| = - x for x < 0.
Now, an absolute value function gives the positive value of any value in the function i.e. |- 5| = 5.
Therefore, it is the distance that - 5 is from 0 on the number line. (Answer)
Answers:
- The lengths of sides PQ and RS are <u> 13 </u>
- The lengths of sides QR and SP are <u> </u><u>20 </u>
This is a 13 by 20 rectangle.
============================================================
Explanation:
Refer to the drawing below.
Let x be the length of side SP. Since we're dealing with a rectangle, the opposite side is the same length. Side QR is also x units long.
We're told that RS = SP - 7 which is the same as saying RS = x-7
We also know that PQ = x-7 as well because PQ is opposite side RS.
In short, we have these four sides in terms of x
- PQ = x-7
- QR = x
- RS = x-7
- SP = x
as shown in the drawing. The four sides add up to the perimeter of 66.
PQ+QR+RS+SP = perimeter
PQ+QR+RS+SP = 66
(x-7)+x+(x-7)+x = 66
4x-14 = 66
4x = 66+14
4x = 80
x = 80/4
x = 20
Use this x value to find the unknown side lengths.
- PQ = x-7 = 20-7 = 13
- QR = x = 20
- RS = x-7 = 20-7 = 13
- SP = x = 20
In short, this is a 13 by 20 rectangle.
-----------------
Check:
perimeter = side1+side2+side3+side4
perimeter = PQ+QR+RS+SP
perimeter = 13+20+13+20
perimeter = 33+33
perimeter = 66
The answer is confirmed.

Answer:
solution:
x = pounds of cashews = 20
y = pounds of peanuts = 70
Step-by-step explanation:
x = pounds of cashews
y = pounds of peanuts
---
4.75x + 2.50y = 3.00*90
x + y = 90
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
4.75x + 2.50y = 270
x + y = 90
Answer:
The confidence Interval = (0.329, 0.391)
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for the Confidence Interval for proportion =
p ± z × √p(1 - p)/n
where
p = x/n
From the question
n = 900 people
x = 36% of 900 people
= 36/100 × 900
= 324
z = z score of 95% confidence Interval
z = 1.98
p = x/n
= 324/900
= 0.36
Confidence Interval = p ± z × √p(1 - p)/n
= 0.36 ± 1.96 × √0.36 (1 - 0.36)/900
= 0.36 ± 1.96 ×√0.36 (0.64)/900
= 0.36 ± 1.96 × √0.000256
= 0.36 ± 1.96 × 0.016
= 0.36 ± 0.03136
Confidence Interval = 0.36 ± 0.03136
= 0.36 - 0.03136
= 0.32864
Approximately to 3 decimal places = 0.329
= 0.36 + 0.03136
= 0.39136
Approximately to 3 decimal places = 0.391
Therefore, the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of people who believe the governor broke campaign financing laws = (0.329, 0.391)
