Answer: 24°

Step-by-step explanation: The formula for finding the measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon is similar to the formula for finding the measure of each interior angle. All we have to do is take the sum of the measures of the exterior angles which is always 360° divided by the number of sides in the polygon which is n.

$\frac{360}{n}$

Since the polygon has 15 sides, we simply plug a 15 in for n.

$\frac{360}{15}$

360 ÷ 15 = 24

Therefore, the measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon that has 15 sides is 24°.

First, find the measure of an interior angle:
the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is (n-2)*180, n is the number of sides
for a 15-sided polygon, the sum is 13*180
each interior angle is then 13*180/15=156
the measure of each exterior angle=180-156=24

Step-by-step explanation:

(7y^6)(2y^-4)^2

= (7y^6)(4y^-8)

Calculate:

(7y^6) * (4y^-8)

28y^-2

Express with a positive exponent:

The function f(x) = x2 is transformed to f(x) = −1.4x2. Which statement describes the effect(s) of the transformation on the gra

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

C) The parabola is narrower and reflected across the x-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original parabola has equation:

$f(x) = {x}^{2}$

The transformed parabola has equation

$f(x) = - 1.4 {x}^{2}$

How wide the graph is can be determined by the absolute value of the coefficient.

The smaller the absolute value of the coefficient, the wider the graph.

Since

$|1| \: < \: | - 1.4|$

The original graph is wider than the transformed graph.

Also the negative factor tells us there is a reflection in the x-axis.

Write the slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the point (1, 0) and is parallel to x - y = 7.

Reil [10]

If it's parallel to x - y = 7, that means the slope of that equation is the slope for the equation you're looking for. To get the slope, you need to put the given equation into slope intercept form, so move x to the other side. You should get: -y = 7 - x Then, to get the y positive, divide by -1: y = -7 + x Slope intercept form is as follows: y = mx + b, so whatever the number is in front of x is your slope. In this instance, your slope is 1. You now have your slope, and a point in which your new line passed through. Using slope intercept form, y = mx + b, if you substitute in what you know, you can find your answer. Right now you know y, m, and x, and you're looking for b. x=1; y=0; m=1. So, substituting, you'd get 0 = (1)(1) + b 0=1+b Solve You should get b= -1, leaving your final answer as y = x - 1

If the variance of the water temperature in a lake is 30°, how many days should the researcher select to measure the temperature

Jet001 [13]

Answer: The number of days would be 7 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Variance = 30°

Standard deviation = √30 = 5.47

Mean = 4°

At 95% confidence, z = 1.96

So, number of days that the researcher select to measure the temperature would be

$n=(\dfrac{z\times \sigma}{error})^2\\\\n=(\dfrac{1.96\times 5.42}{4})^2\\\\n=7.053\\\\n=7$

Hence, the number of days would be 7 days.
