Answer:

He bought approximately 16 pigs.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find how many pigs the farmer had originally all you have to do is add three to amount of pigs he sold, since three of the died. In order to find how many he sold all you need to do is divide 109 by 8, since he made a profit of $8 per pig. 109 / 8 = 13.625, 13.625 + 3 = 16.625

The passing yards for the top 5 quarterbacks in the country are 3,832, 3,779, 3,655, 3,642, and 3,579. Find the variance and sta
Leviafan [203]

First get the average passing yards:

(3,832 + 3,779 + 3,655 + 3,642 + 3,579) / 5 = 3,697.4

Now get the squared residuals for each quarterback's passing yards. That is, compute the difference between each data and the average, then square the result. For example,

(3,832 - 3,697.4)^2 = 134.6^2 = 18,117.2

For the others, you should get squared residuals of

6,658.56

1,797.76

3,069.16

14,018.6

Take the sum of the squared residuals, then - since this is a sample, and not a population of all quarterbacks - divide the sum by 5 - 1 = 4 to get the variance:

(18,117.2 + 6,658.56 + 1,797.76 + 3,069.16 + 14,018.6)/4 = 10,915.3

The standard deviation is just the square root of the variance:

√(10,915.3) ≈ 104.48

flvs hope If $x^2+bx+16$ has at least one real root, find all possible values of $b$. Express your answer in interval notation.
Galina-37 [17]
If x^2+bx+16 has at least one real root, then the equation x^2+bx+16=0 has at least one solution. The discriminant of a quadratic equation is b^2-4ac and it determines the nature of the roots. If the discriminant is zero, there is exactly one distinct real root. If the discriminant is positive, there are exactly two roots. The discriminant of <span>x^2+bx+16=0 is b^2-4(1)(16). The inequality here gives the values of b where the discriminant will be positive or zero:
                                           b^2-4(1)(16) ≥ 0
                                                  </span><span>b^2-64 ≥ 0
                                             (b+8)(b-8) </span><span>≥ 0
The answer is that all possible values of b are in the interval (-inf, -8]∪[8,inf) because those are the intervals where </span>(b+8)(b-8) is positive.
