B, is the correct answer.
7% of 450 is 31.5
We add 31.5 to 450 to find out highest possible error, and subtract 31.5 from 450 to find out lowest possible error.

Factor completely. 5x^2+44x-9

Leni [432]

Answer:

(x + 9)(5x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5x² + 44x - 9

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 5 × - 9 = - 45 and sum = + 44

The factors are + 45 and - 1

Use these factors to split the x- term

5x² + 45x - x - 9 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 5x(x + 9) - 1(x + 9) ← factor out (x + 9) from each term

= (x + 9)(5x - 1) ← in factored form

Calculate the side lengths a and b to two decimal places.

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

$a=10.92 units$

$b=14.51 units$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that c=6 units

$\angle A=43^{\circ}$

$\angle B=115^{\circ}$

We have to find the side length a and b.

We know that sum of angles of a triangle =180 degrees

$\angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180$

Substitute the values then we get

$43+115+\angle C=180$

$158+\angle C=180$

$\angle C=180-158=22^{\circ}$

sine law: $\frac{a}{sin A}=\frac{b}{sin B}=\frac{c}{sin C}$

$\frac{a}{sin 43^{\circ}}=\frac{6}{sin 22^{\circ}}$

$a=\frac{6}{sin 22^{\circ}}\times sin 43^{\circ}$

$a=10.92 units$

$\frac{b}{sin 115^{\circ}}=\frac{6}{sin 22^{\circ}}$

$b=\frac{6}{sin 22^{\circ}}\times sin 115^{\circ}=14.51$

$b=14.51 units$

Scores on a college entrance exam are normally distributed with a mean of 550 and a standard deviation of 100. Find the value th

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The value that represents the 90th percentile of scores is 678.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 550, \sigma = 100$
