The graph shows the prices of different brands of sandals. Is this graph misleading? Why or why not?

Answer: Choice C

scale starts at $5 and goes to $40 with a regular $5 interval

even though we don't start at 0, the difference in bar heights is not exaggerated

graph is not misleading

=================================================

Explanation:

Choice A is not true because the vertical axis starts at 5 and not 0

Choice B is the same story as choice A.

Choice D is not true because the vertical axis does not use an irregular interval. The interval or tickmark distance is $5 each time. In other words, the value goes up by 5 each time.

So far, choices A, B and D have been crossed off the list. The only thing left is choice C.

Despite the fact that the vertical axis starts at 5, instead of 0, the graph is not misleading. The heights of the bars can be compared to see that brand H is the most expensive brand. So in a sense, we can ignore the data values along the vertical axis and still be able to see that brand H is the most expensive. The other brands are close to one another in cost.

side note: the bar graph should have a zig-zag line at the very bottom of the vertical axis to indicate "we are not starting at y = 0". This is handy if you happen to start with much larger y values.

What is 340 pages; 20 percent decrease
mote1985 [20]
First you turn the % in to decimal .20
then you multiply .20 by 340=68.00
then you subtract 340.00-68.00=272.00
the final answer is 272.00 pages

Suppose you want to accumulate $25,000 as down payment on a house and the best you can do is to put aside $200 a month. If you d
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

It will take 88.2 months to accumulate the amount

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Future value of money, FV = $25,000

investment per compound period, P = $200

interest rate, i = 0.75% x 12 = 9%

The number of monthly installments required to amount to FV is given by;

n = \frac{ln(FVi +cp)-ln(cp)}{ln(c+i)-ln(c)}\\\\ n = \frac{ln(25000*0.09 +200*12)-ln(200*12)}{ln(12+0.09)-ln(12)}\\\\n = \frac{8.4446 -7.7832}{2.4924-2.4849}\\\\n = 88.2 \ months

Therefore, it will take 88.2 months to accumulate the amount.

Write a polynomial function of minimum degree with real coefficients whose zeros include those listed. Write the polynomial in s
wolverine [178]

Answer:

x^4 - 14x^2 - 40x - 75.

Step-by-step explanation:

As complex roots exist in conjugate pairs the other zero is -1 - 2i.

So in factor form we have the polynomial function:

(x - 5)(x + 3)(x - (-1 + 2i))(x - (-1 - 2i)

= (x - 5)(x + 3)( x + 1 - 2i)(x +1 + 2i)

The first 2 factors  = x^2 - 2x - 15 and

( x + 1 - 2i)(x +1 + 2i) = x^2 + x + 2ix + x + 1 + 2i - 2ix - 2i - 4 i^2

=  x^2 + 2x + 1 + 4

= x^2 + 2x + 5.

So in standard form we have:

(x^2 - 2x - 15 )(x^2 + 2x + 5)

= x^4  + 2x^3 + 5x^2 - 2x^3 - 4x^2 - 10x - 15x^2 - 30x - 75

= x^4 - 14x^2 - 40x - 75.

Elden [556K]
First, pull out the GCM from the two terms: 3x^6(x^3-64)
Then factor the remains using the difference of cubes: 3x^6(x-4)(x^2+4x+16)
