Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
A. is wrong because having a different height for each seedling and not trying to keep it equal is simply worse than making sure the heights are identical.
B. Completely wrong because it would likely result in 1 plot having more melon seedlings than the other.
C. Correct because it makes sure the seedlings are the same height at the beginning of the experiment, allowing less randomness in the experiment.
D. Putting the taller of a each pair for 1 plot makes it the experiment rigged in favor of the plot with taller seedlings
E. Same issue as D.
Step-by-step explanation:
let's simply do the multiplications and then compare with the original.
(x-m)² + n
right ?
or is it

let's go for the first.
x² - 2mx + m² + n = x² - 3x
-2mx + m² + n = -3x
fun there we see two things :
-2m = -3
m = 3/2
and
m² + n = 0
(3/2)² = -n
9/4 = -n
n = -9/4
so our transformed expression looks like
(x - 3/2)² - 9/4
1\5 pound of trail mix because 1 pound divided to\by 5 people is 1\5.
So, each person gets 1\5 pound trail mix
Answer:
12.75
Step-by-step explanation:

Therefore, 12.75 is the smallest possible number.
