2 ways: make a little divide tree based on how many times you can divide it. Like you have sqrt88 you know it can divide by 2. So its 2 and 44, and 44 can be broken to 2 and 22, then 2 and 11. 11 can’t be divided anymore.

Now choose numbers that are the same and pair them together. These go outside the radicand. You had three 2’s and one 11. So a 2 would go on the outside and the remaining 2 and 11 would be multiplied leaved 2sqrt22.

Another way is to divide by the highest squared number. Taking sqrt88 again. 4 would be the highest squared number. So 88 would be 4 and 22, then 2 and 11. Since you have a 4 which is a perfect square you put that squareroot outside. The inside would remain the same because it wouldn’t break down into perfect squares or pairs anymore. So that would be 2sqrt22.

The Capacity of a 1 cm cube is 1 mL. How many 1 cm ice cubes do you need to melt to fill a 1.5 L jar.
Svetach [21]

1500 ice cubes need to fill 1.5 L jar

Solution:

1 cm = 1 ml

Capacity of ice cube = 1 cm

                                   = 1 ml

Capacity of jar = 1.5 L

1 L = 1000 ml

1.5 L = 1.5 × 1000

       = 1500 ml

Capacity of jar = 1500 ml

$\text{Number of ice cubes} =\frac{\text{Capacity of ice cube}}{\text{Capacity of jar}}

                                $=\frac{1500}{1}

                                = 1500

Therefore 1500 ice cubes need to fill 1.5 L jar.

The function f(t) = t2 + 6t − 20 represents a parabola.
NeX [460]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

To complete the square, we will do the first few steps all at once, since they are necessary but not complicated to follow all at once.  Set the function equal to 0 first, then move the constant over to the other side:

t^2+6t=20

The most important rule for completing the square is that the leading coefficient (the number on the t-squared term) is a positive 1.  Ours is, but if it wasn't it would need to be factored out.

Next, take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides.  Our linear term is 6.  Half of 6 is 3, and 3 squared is 9, so we add 9 to both sides:

t^2+6t+9=20+9

On the right is simple addition, but on the left side, during this process we created a perfect square binomial that will reflect the h coordinate of the vertex.  We will state that binomial and do the addition on the right both at the same time:

(t+3)^2=38

If you FOIL out the (t + 3)(t + 3) you will get back the polynomial t^2+6t+9

Now we can move the constant back over and set the polynomial back to equal f(t):

(t+3)^2-38=f(t)

From this we determine the vertex to sit at (-3, -38)

Part B:

Because this is a positive parabola that opens upwards, the function will have a minimum value (if it was negative and opened upside down, it would have a minimum value).  In other words, you know the vertex is a minimum because this is a positive parabola that opens upwards.

Part C:

The axis of symmetry is the line that cuts the parabola in half, creating 2 identical, mirror images.  Because this parabola opens upwards, a vertical line is required to cut it into 2 identical halves.  The vertical line has an equation " x = ".  In the case of a positive parabola that opens upwards, the line of symmetry, what x = , will ALWAYS be the number that is inside the parenthesis with the x.  Since the standard vertex form is

f(t)=(t-h)^2+k

our vertex can be rewritten as (t - (-3)).  Therefore, our axis of symmetry is

x = -3

sergejj [24]

Solution :

a). The point estimate of proportion of college graduates among women who work at home,

$\hat p =\frac{166}{506}$

  = 0.3281

99.5% confidence interval

$=\left( \hat p \pm Z_{0.005/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1- \hat p)}{n}} \right)$

$=\left( 0.3281 \pm 2.81 \sqrt{\frac{0.3281 \times  (1- 0.3281)}{506}} \right)$

$=(0.3281 \pm 0.0586)$

$=(0.2695, 0.3867)$
