Answer:

n=40 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

-Margin of error is given by the formula:

E=z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

-The z score for a probability of 92% is 1.75

#We make n the subject of the formula and substitute at a 92% confidence:

E=z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\\sqrt{n}=\frac{z\sigma}{E}\\\\n=[\frac{z\sigma}{E}]^2\\\\\therefore n=[\frac{1.75\times 1.8}{0.5}]^2\\\\=39.69\approx 40

Hence, he needs approximately 40 boys for the study

Answer: x= 63, y= 27

Step-by-step explanation:

x and angle measure 117 are a linear pair. They sum to 180.

117+x= 180. Subtract 117 from both sides.

x = 63

Looking at the relationship of x and y, the diagram shows that the two together equal 90 degrees. Add the two together and set equal to 90.

63+y= 90. Subtract 63 from both sides.

y = 27

You have decided to purchase a car for $22,346.16. The credit union requires a 10% down payment and will finance the
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

(b) \$24,169.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  Cost of car is \$22,346.16

            Sales tax is 7.6\%    

             The license and title  charges are \$125.13

To find: The amount that the credit union will finance.

Solution:

We have,  

Cost of car=\$22,346.16  

Sales tax is 7.6\% of \$22,346.16

Therefore,  

sales tax =\frac{7.6}{100}\times22,346.16=\$1698.31

The license and title  charges =\$125.13

Now, the amount that the credit union will finance is

cost of car+sales tax+the license and title  charges

=\$22346.16+\$1698.31+\$125.13

=\$24,169.60

Hence, the amount that the credit union will finance is \$24,169.60.

So, (b) \$24,169.60 is correct.

Part A: x = -5/4, 3 || (-5/4, 0) (3, 0)

To find the x-intercepts, we need to know where y is equal to 0. So, we will set the function equal to 0 and solve for x.

4x^2 - 7x - 15 = 0

4 x 15 = 60 || -12 x 5 = 60 || -12 + 5 = -7

4x^2 - 12x + 5x - 15 = 0

4x(x - 3) + 5(x - 3) = 0

(4x + 5)(x - 3) = 0

4x + 5 = 0

x = -5/4

x - 3 = 0

x = 3

Part B: minimum, (7/8, -289/16)

The vertex of the graph will be a minimum. This is because the parabola is positive, meaning that it opens to the top.

To find the coordinates of the parabola, we start with the x-coordinate. The x-coordinate can be found using the equation -b/2a.

b = -7

a = 4

x = -(-7) / 2(4) = 7/8

Now that we know the x-value, we can plug it into the function and solve for the y-value.

y = 4(7/8)^2 - 7(7/8) - 15

y = 4(49/64) - 49/8 - 15

y = 196/64 - 392/64 - 960/64

y = -1156/64 = -289/16 = -18 1/16

Part C:

First, start by graphing the vertex. Then, use the x-intercepts and graph those. At this point we should have three points in a sort of triangle shape. If we did it right, each of the x-values will be an equal distance from the vertex. After we have those points graphed, it is time to draw in the parabola. Knowing that the parabola is positive, we draw in a U shape that passes through each of the three points and opens toward the top of the coordinate grid.

Hope this helps!
