Answer:

She did not separate her friends into different groups, and she didn't apply a treatment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alice decides to ask 25 of her friends if they listen to music while they do their homework and what their grades are.

She finds that her friends who have high grades also listen to music while they do their homework.

She tells her parents that she has proven that listening to music while doing homework will cause her grades to improve.

First of all it cannot be proven like this way.

Secondly, she did not use a random sample, and did not separated  her friends into groups and applied treatment.

So, the answer is She did not separate her friends into different groups, and she didn't apply a treatment.

What transformations are needed to change the parent cosine function to y=3cos(10(x-pi))?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The graph of y=cos(x) is:

*Stretched vertically by a factor of 3

*Compressed horizontally by a factor  \frac{1}{10} .

*Moves horizontally \pi units to the rigth

The transformation is:

y=3f(10(x-\pi))

Step-by-step explanation:

If  the function y=cf(h(x+b))  represents the transformations made to the graph of y= f(x)  then, by definition:

If  0 then the graph is compressed vertically by a factor c.

If  |c| > 1 then the graph is stretched vertically by a factor c

If c  then the graph is reflected on the x axis.

If b> 0 The graph moves horizontally b units to the left

If b The graph moves horizontally b units to the rigth

If 0 the graph is stretched horizontally  by a factor \frac{1}{h}

If h> 1 the graph is compressed horizontally by a factor \frac{1}{h}

In this problem we have the function y=3cos(10(x-pi)) and our parent function is y = cos(x)

The transformation is:

y=3f(10(x-\pi))

Then c =3>1  and b =-\pi < 0 and h=10 > 1

Therefore the graph of y=cos(x) is:

Stretched vertically by a factor of 3.

Also as h=10 the graph is compressed horizontally by a factor  \frac{1}{10} .

Also, as b =-\pi < 0 The graph moves horizontally \pi units to the rigth

Does (5, 10)make the inequality y ≥ 10x+5 true
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

It is False.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you substitute the coordinates into the inequality equation :

y \geqslant 10x + 5

let \: x = 5,y = 10

10 \geqslant 10(5) + 5

10 \geqslant 55 \: (false)

Therefore, 10 isn't greater than 55.

Tim will borrow $6200 at 12.5% APR. He will pay it back over 2 years. What will be his Monthly payment be?
AlekseyPX
<span>The correct answer is D) $293.32.

Explanation:
We use the formula P=A/D, where P is the payment amount, A is the amount borrowed, and D is the discount factor.

The discount factor is given by the formula D={[(1+r)^n]-1}/[i(1+i)^n], where i is the monthly interest rate as a decimal number and n is the number of months taken for repayment.

For this problem, we have 12.5%; 12.5%=12.5/100=0.125.
This makes the monthly interest rate, i, 0.125/12=0.01042.
 
The number of months for repayment, n, will be 2*12=24.

Using these we have D={[1+0.01042)^24]-1}/[0.01042(1+0.01042)^24], which gives us D=21.1375.

We plug this in for D in our payment formula.

Additionally, we know that A=6200, since that is what is borrowed: P=6200/21.1375=293.32.</span>

If x+4/4 = y+7/7 then x/4=___
muminat
Please, enclose those binomials x+4 and y+7 inside parentheses:

(x+4) / 4 = (y+7) / 7.  Find (x/4).

Let's solve the above equation for x:

x+4 = 4(y+7)/7.  Then x = 4(y+7) / 7   -   4

Last, divide all 3 terms by 4:            x/4 = (y+7) / 7 - 1   (answer)
                                                         
                                                      y + 7 - 7
You could also type this as x/4 = ------------- = y/7
