To solve this problem
Let X be pounds of rose petals needed.
ATQ
0.875 pounds of rose petals are in 1 bottle.
So, 0.875 / 1 = X / 86
( because we have to find how many petals {in pounds}are there  in 86 perfume bottles )
cross muliplying both side.
0.875 * 86 = X
75.25 = X
So, there are 75.25 pounds of petals in 86 perfume bottles.

Which statement best describes the graph of this polynomial function f(x)=x^4+x^3-2x^2
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

See below description.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function f(x) = x^4+x^3-2x^2 has the following characteristics:

  • Factors: x^2(x+2)(x-1)
  • Zeros/roots: x=0, x=-2, amd x=1
  • Positive leading coefficient
  • Graph starts up, curves down through -2 on the x-axis and back up to 0 where it touches and curves down and back up again again. It comes down back through 1 and crosses.
  • Its graph s the shape of a W.
  • It has minimum values at -2.83 and -0.397

Which Graph correctly solves the equation below? -1/2x^2 +2 = 2x^2 -8
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

see attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

-  \frac{1}{2}  {x}^{2}  + 2 = 2 {x}^{2}  - 8

The graph of the left hand side of this equation is

y =  -  \frac{1}{2}{x}^{2}  + 2

This quadratic graph has its vertex at (0,2) and turns upside down.

The right hand side of the equation is

y = 2 {x}^{2}  - 8

This quadratic graph opens upwards and has its vertex at (0,-8).

The two graphs intersects at two points , which are (-2,0) and (2,0).

A researcher at a major clinic wishes to estimate the proportion of the adult population of the United States that has sleep dep
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer: n = 600.25 ≈ 601 ( sample size)

the minimum sample size of the adults in United State who have sleep deprivation  is 601

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

the confidence level = 95% = 0.05

the Margin of error E = 4% = 0.04

∴  level of significance ∝ = 1 - C.L

∝ = 1 - (95/100)

= 0.05

Z∝/2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

Z-critical value at 95% confidence level is OR level of significance at 0.025 = 1.96 (z-table)

Now to calculate the sample size, we say

n = (Z(critical) / M.E )² P ( 1 - P)

now we substitute

n =  (1.96 / 0.04)² × 0.5 ( 1 - 0.5)

n = 2401 × 0.5 × 0.5

n = 600.25 ≈ 601

Therefore the minimum sample size of the adults in United State who have sleep deprivation  is 601

The vertex of this parabola is at (-5,-2). when the x-value is -4, the y-value is 2. what is the coefficient of the squared expr
Westkost [7]
Vertex:  (-5,-2); parabola opens up; 

General form of the equation for a vertical parabola opening up is:

y-k = a(x-h)^2; knowing that the vertex is at (-5,-2), we can write:

y+2 = a(x+5)^2.  We need to find the value of the coefficient a.

From the graph we see that y is 10 when x is approx. -1 3/4 (or -7/4).

subst. these values into y+2 = a(x+5)^2, we get:

10 + 2 = a(-7/4 + 5)^2, or 12 = a(13/4)^2, or   1 = a(169/16).

Solving for a:  a = 16/169 = 0.09, or approx 16/160, or 1/10.  Unfortunately, this is not close to any of the four answer choices.

I thought it best to try again, and fortunately my second try was correct:

10+2 = a(13/4)^2, or  (169/16)a.  Thus, 12 = a(169/16)

                                   12
Solving for a:  a = ------------- = 1.14.  The answer choice closest to this is 1.
                                169/16

Answer A is correct.
