The answer is A.5/8.

Why?

Multiply 1/4 with 2/2 to get the same denominator as 7/8, 8. That will yield 2/8.Then, simply subtract 2/8 from 7/8 (7/8 - 2/8), and that equals 5/8.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

(2,-5) and (2,1).

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the find all the points having an x coordinate of 2 whose distance from the point (-2,-4) is 5.

A circle with center (-2,-4) and radius 5 represents all the points whose distance from the point (-2,-4) is 5.

Standard form of a circle is

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

where, (h,k) is center and r is the radius.

$(x-(-2))^2+(y-(-4))^2=(5)^2$

$(x+2)^2+(y+2)^2=25$

Now, put x=2.

$(2+2)^2+(y+2)^2=25$

$(4)^2+(y+2)^2=25$

$(y+2)^2=25-16$

$(y+2)^2=9$

Taking square root on both sides.

$y+2=\pm\sqrt{9}$

$y+2=\pm3$

$y+2=-3\text{ or }y+2=3$

$y=-5\text{ or }y=1$

So, the y-coordinates of the points are -5 and 1.

Therefore, the required points are (2,-5) and (2,1).

Can someone help me with this

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

FG=30

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that Point G is on the Segment FH, it doesn't really matter where G is, but we can know for certain that:

$FH=FG+GH$

We are given that FH is 4x, GH is x, and FG is 2x+10. Substitute:

$4x=(2x+10)+x$

Solve for x. On the right, combine like terms:

$4x=3x+10$

Subtract 3x from both sides:

$x=10$

So, the value of x is 10.

To find the value of FG, substitute 10 into its x:

$FG=2x+10\\FG=2(10)+10$

Multiply:

$FG=20+10$

Add:

$FG=30$

And we're done!

You’ve observed the following returns on Crash-n-Burn Computer’s stock over the past five years: 14 percent, –9 percent, 16 perc

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

a. 9%

b. 0.01445

c. 12.02%

Step-by-step explanation:

n = 5 years

Return rates = 14%, –9%, 16%, 21%, and 3%

a. Arithmetic average return

$A= \frac{14-9+16+21+3}{5} \\A=9.00$

b. Historical variance (to 5 decimal places)

$V= \frac{\sum (X_i-A)^2}{n-1} \\V= \frac{(0.14-0.09)^2+(-0.09-0.09)^2+(0.16-0.09)^2(0.21-0.09)^2(0.03-0.09)^2}{5-1}\\ V=0.01445$

c. Standard deviation.

$s = \sqrt{V} \\s= \sqrt{0.01445}\\s=0.1202 = 12.02\%$

Each container has a base of 4 1/4 yds by 1 2/3 yds. What is the area covered by all the containers?

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Base Dimension

$Length = 4\frac{1}{4}yd$

$Width = 1\frac{2}{3}yd$

Required

The base area of all containers

First, calculate the base area of 1 container.

This is calculated as:

$Area = Length * Width$

$Area = 4\frac{1}{4}yd * 1\frac{2}{3}yd$

Express as improper fraction

$Area = \frac{17}{4}yd * \frac{5}{3}yd$

So, we have:

$Area = \frac{17*5}{4*3}yd^2$

$Area = \frac{85}{12}yd^2$

The number of containers is not given. So, I will use 'n' as the number of containers.

So, we have:

$Total = n * Area$

$Total= n * \frac{85}{12}yd^2$

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assume n is 3 (i.e. 3 containers)

The total area is:

$Total= 3 * \frac{85}{12}yd^2$

$Total= \frac{85}{4}yd^2$

$Total= 21\frac{1}{4}yd^2$

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
