Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter A

Step-by-step explanation:

Rules for using scientific notation:

1.- The number before the decimal point must be between 1 and 10.

2.- Determine the exponent

3.- It must be in decimal format, ( x 10)

A 3.8*10^12 This number is in correct scientific notation.

B 33.8* 10 This number is incorrect, because before the decimal point the number must be between 1 and 10.

C 3.8 *20^8 This number is incorrect because the power must be 10 not 20.

Blake said 4/5+1/3 =5/8 does his answer make sense explain. please help

Tatiana [17]

Hey there!

The answer is no because whenever you add or subtract fractions, you find the common denominator(the bottom of the fraction)

Corret way:
The common denominator is 15 (5*3)
Multiply numerator(top) and the denominator by 3
4/5*3*3= 12/15
Multiply numerator and the denominator by 5
1/3*5/5= 5/15
So the equation is now
12/15+5/15= 17/15 or 1 2/15

Hope this helps! :)

A rancher wishes to build a fence to enclose a rectangular pen having area 24 square yards. Along one side the fence is to be ma

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The value is $C \approx \$76$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The area of the rectangular pen is $A = 24 \ yard^2$

The cost of material used to make one side is $z = \$ 6$

The cost of material used to make the other sides is $r = \$ 3$

Now , the fence to be build around the rectangular pen has four sides, the first opposite sides are equal, let assume each of the to be x yard and the other opposite sides are also equal as well let assume of the to be y yard

So the cost is mathematically represented as

$C = zx + r (x + 2y )$

=> $C = 6x + 3(x + 2y)$

=> $C = 9x + 6y$

Now the area of the fence is mathematically represented as

$A = x* y = 24$

=> $y = \frac{24}{x}$

=> $C = 9x + 6[\frac{24}{x} ]$

=> $C = 9x + [\frac{144}{x} ]$

Now differentiating

$C' = 9 + 144* (-2) x^{-2}$

$C' = 9 - 288x^{-2}$

At minimum $C' = 0$

$9 - 288x^{-2} = 0$

$x^{-2} = 0.03125$

$x = \sqrt{\frac{1}{0.03125} }$

$x = 5.66$

Now substituting for x in the equation above to obtain minimum cost

$C = 9(5.66) + [\frac{144}{5.66} ]$

$C \approx \$76$

A student in a statistics class asks students in a long lunch line about their opinions about the school cafeteria. The sample t

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

The correct option is;

D. Biased

Step-by-step explanation:

A sampling method in which the members of the sample are not representative of the population, such that some members of the population have a higher or lower probability within the sample which is indicative that not all members of the population are sampled

A biased sample is a non random sample and the can lead to misleading data conclusion

In the question, the sampling of student opinion about the school cafeteria among students who are on the lunch line and so prefer the school cafeteria leaves out the portion of the population that get their lunch from alternative sources.
