Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + x + 100 = 180 (sum of angles on a straight line)

4x = 180-100

4x=80

divide both sides by 4

x=20

The volume of a 10 ounce box of cheerios is 258.75in3. the length of the box is 4 inches less than the height and the width is 3

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Height of the box = 11.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h be the height of the box.

Assuming the volume of the Box is $258.75\ in^3$ .

Given:

Length = Height - 4 = h - 4

Width = 3 in

We need to find the height of the box.

Solution:

We know that the volume of the box.

$Volume = Length\times height\times width$

Substitute all given value in above formula.

$258.75 = (h-4)\times h\times 3$

Rewrite the equation as:

$258.75 = 3h(h-4)$

$258.75 = 3h^2-12h$

$3h^2-12h-258.75=0$

whole equation divided by 3.

$h^2-4h-86.25=0$

Use quadratic formula with $a = 1, b = -4,c=-86.25$

$h=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{(b)^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

Put these a, b and c value in above equation.

$h=\frac{-(-4)\pm \sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4(1)(-86.25)}}{2(1)}$

$h=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{16+345}}{2}$

$h=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{361}}{2}$

$h=\frac{4\pm 19}{2}$

For positive sign

$h=\frac{23}{2}$

h = 11.5 in

For negative sign

$h=\frac{-15}{2}$

h = -7.5

We take positive value of h.

Therefore, the height of the box h = 11.5 in

Prove that the product of a nonzero rational number together with an irrational number is an irrational number.

melamori03 [73]

Each time they assume the sum is rational; however, upon rearranging the terms of their equation, they get a contradiction (that an irrational number is equal to a rational number). Since the assumption that the sum of a rational and irrational number is rationalleads to a contradiction, the sum must be irrational.

A fitted multiple regression equation is Y = 28 + 5X1 - 4X2 + 7X3 + 2X4. When X1 increases 2 units and X2 increases 2 units as w

ad-work [718]

Answer:

A. Increase by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a fitted multiple regression equation is

$Y = 28 + 5X_1 -4X_2 + 7X_3 + 2X_4$

This is a multiple regression line with dependent variable y and independent variables x1, x2, x3 and x4

The coefficients of independent variables represent the slope.

In other words the coefficients represent the rate of change of y when xi is changed by 1 unit.

Given that x3 and x4 remain unchanged and x1 increases by 2 and x2 by 2 units

Since slope of x1 is 5, we find for one unit change in x1 we can have 5 units change in y

i.e. for 2 units change in x1, we expect 10 units change in Y

Similarly for 2 units change in x2, we expect -2(4) units change in Y

Put together we have

$10-8 =2$ change in y

Since positive 2, there is an increase by 2

A. Increase by 2
