A) 1/2*12 = 6 ft above sea level

B) Because City D is 1/2 of 6, it cannot be negative because we are not multiplying anything by a negative number.

Answer:

Part A: $\dfrac{1}{2}\times 12\text{ feet}$

Part B: 6 feet above sea level and positive

Step-by-step explanation:

The elevation of city A is 60 feet above sea level.

The elevation of city C is 12 feet above sea level.

The elevation of city D is $\dfrac{1}{2}$ of the elevation of city C.

Part A: Expression which shows Elevation of city D in feet above sea level.

$\text{Elevation of city D}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \text{Elevation of city C}$

$\text{Elevation of city D}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 12$

Part B: Simplify the expression of part A

$\text{Elevation of city D}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 12=6\text{ feet}$

The elevation of city D is 6 feet above sea level.

It would be positive because above sea level height is positive and below sea level takes negative.

You plant a rectangular rose garden along the side of your garage. You enclose 3 sides of the garden with 40 feet of fencing. Th

solmaris [256]

Let's assume

length of rectangle =L

width of rectangle =W

You enclose 3 sides of the garden with 40 feet of fencing

so, we get

$L+2W=40$

now, we can solve for L

$L=40-2W$

we know that

area of rectangle is

$A=L*W$

$100=L*W$

now, we can plug

$100=(40-2W)*W$

now, we can solve for W

$-2W^2+40W-100=0$

we can use quadratic formula

$W=\frac{-40+\sqrt{40^2-4\left(-2\right)\left(-100\right)}}{2\left(-2\right)}$

$W=\frac{-40-\sqrt{40^2-4\left(-2\right)\left(-100\right)}}{2\left(-2\right)}$

we can take anyone value ..because both are giving positive value

first dimensions:

$W=2.929$

now, we can find L

$L=40-2*2.929$

$L=34.142$

so, length is 34.142feet

width is 2.929 feet

Second dimensions:

$W=17.071$

now, we can find L

$L=40-2*17.071$

$L=5.858$

so, length is 5.858feet

width is 17.071 feet

Which expression can be written as k square root 3 where k is an integer

Damm [24]

Answer:

A simple expression is $\sqrt{48}$ = 4 $\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Surds are irrational numbers expressed with respect to a square root. There are some basic rules required when dealing with surd.

Integers are numbers that do not have a decimal or fractional part i.e whole numbers. So, a simple expression that can be written as k square root 3 where k is an integer is $\sqrt{48}$ .

So that,

$\sqrt{48}$ = $\sqrt{16 * 3}$

= 4 $\sqrt{3}$

Choose the correct answer below. A. Increasing the level of confidence has no effect on the interval. B. Increasing the level of

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

$ME = t_{\alpha/2} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

And the width for the confidence interval is given by:

$Width =2ME=2t_{\alpha/2} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

And we want to see the effect if we increase the confidence level for a interval. On this case if we increase the confidence level then the critical value for the confidence interval $t_{\alpha/2}$ would be higher and then the width of the interval would increase. So then the best answer for this case would be:

B. Increasing the level of confidence widens the interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that we have a parameter of interest $\mu$ who represent for example the true mean for a population. And we can construct a confidence interval in order to estimate this parameter if we know the distribution for the statistic let's say $\bar X$ and for this particular example the confidence interval is given by:

$\bar X \pm ME$

Where ME represent the margin of error for the estimation and this margin of error is given by:

$ME = t_{\alpha/2} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

And the width for the confidence interval is given by:

$Width =2ME=2t_{\alpha/2} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

And we want to see the effect if we increase the confidence level for a interval. On this case if we increase the confidence level then the critical value for the confidence interval $t_{\alpha/2}$ would be higher and then the width of the interval would increase. So then the best answer for this case would be:

B. Increasing the level of confidence widens the interval.
