T = J + E

T = J + (J + 6)

T = 32

32 = 13 + (13 + 6)

32 = 13 + 19

32 = 32

Ellen won 19 matches.

Answer:

19 matches which is 6 more than Janet’s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the matches won by Ellen be A and Janet be B

Given they both won 32 matches

That’s

A + B = 32

And Ellen won 6 more than Janet

That’s

A = 6 + B

So we now have two equations

1. A + B = 32

2. A = 6 + B

Substitute B + 6 for A in the first equation

We have

A + B = 32

6 + B + B = 32

6 + 2B = 32

Subtract 6 from both sides

6 - 6 + 2B = 32 - 6

2B = 26

Divide both sides by 2

2B/2 = 26/2

B = 13

Recall

A = 6 + B

Therefore

A = 6 + 13

A = 19

Ellen won 19 matches which is 6 more than Janet’s

What is the area, in square centimeters, of a circle that is 8 centimeters

Shalnov [3]

Answer: 8=201.06

4=50.27

Step-by-step explanation: What I mean by this is that if the radius (the distance from the center of the circle to the edge of the circle ) is 8 then the area of the circle is 201.06 and if the radius of the circle is 4 then the area of the circle is 50.27

Chapter 7, Section 7.2, Question P9 The process for manufacturing a ball bearing results in weights that have an approximately n

bogdanovich [222]

a. Let $X$ be a random variable representing the weight of a ball bearing selected at random. We're told that $X\sim\mathcal N(0.15,0.005^2)$ , so

$\mathrm P(X$

where $Z\sim\mathcal N(0,1)$ . This probability is approximately

$\mathrm P(Z$

b. Let $X_i$ be a random variable representing the weight of the $i$ -th ball that is selected, and let $Y$ be the mean of these 4 weights,

$Y=\dfrac{X_1+X_2+X_3+X_4}4$

The sum of normally distributed random variables is a random variable that also follows a normal distribution,

$X_1+X_2+X_3+X_4\sim\mathcal N(4\cdot0.15,4\cdot0.005^2)$

so that

$Y\sim\mathcal N(0.15,0.005^2)$

Then

$\mathrm P(Y$

c. Same as (b).

Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept without graphing. Write the coordinates of each intercept.

ANEK [815]

Answer:

Point of x-intercept: (2,0).

Point of y-intercept: (0,6).

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Finding the x-intercept.

This point is where the graph of the function touches the x axis. It can be found by substituting the "y" for 0. This is how you do it:

$y=-3x+6\\ \\-3x+6=0\\ \\-3x=-6\\\\x=\frac{-6}{-3} \\ \\x=2$

Hence, the point of x-intercept: (2,0).

2. Finding the y-intercept.

This point is where the graph of the function touches the y axis. It can be found by substituting the "x" for 0. This is how you do it:

$y=-3(0)+6\\ \\y=6$

Hence, the point of y-intercept: (0,6).

I’m so confused on how to do this

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First: Recognize that (f o g)(x) is the "composition" of two functions, where g(x) serves as the input to f(x). We are given f(x) = 2x+3 and g(x) = x+5. You could find g(3) right now: it is g(3) = 3+5 = 8. Use this 8 as the input to f(x): f(8) = 2(8)+3 = 19.
