Use a number line to help you find the sum of -24+8

Mathematics
1 answer:
Triss [41]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

-16

Step-by-step explanation:

When adding a negative and a positive number, you need to keep in mind that your are essentially adding.

so if I have a number line

-24, -23, -22, -21, -20, -19, -18, -17, -16, -15, -14,,,,

you will start at -24 and will go up the number line (to the right) 8 times and that should get you your answer.

trapecia [35]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is 48.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

In the given experiment, three events take place which include rolling a die, flipping a coin and spinning a spinner.

The possible outcomes of each of these events are as follows:

Rolling a die - 6

Flipping a coin - 2

Spinning a spinner - 4

Therefore, by multiplying their possible outcomes, we can find the number of elements in the sample space of this environment.

Number of elements = 6 × 2 × 4 = 48

Given a mean of 150 and a standard deviation of 25:
pishuonlain [190]
We have to define an interval about the mean that contains 75% of the values. This means half of the values will lie above the mean and half of the values lie below the mean.

So, 37.5% of the values will lie above the mean and 37.5% of the values lie below the mean.

In a Z-table, mean is located at the center of the data. So the position of the mean is at 50% of the data. So the position of point 37.5% above the mean will be located at 50 + 37.5 = 87.5% of the overall data

Similarly position of the point 37.5% below the mean will be located at 
50 - 37.5% = 12.5% of the overall data

From the z table, we can find the z value for both these points. 12.5% converted to z score is -1.15 and 87.5% converted to z score is 1.15.

Using these z scores, we can find the values which contain 75% of the values about the mean.

z score of -1.15 means 1.15 standard deviations below the mean. So this value comes out to be:

150 - 1.15(25) = 121.25

z score of 1.15 means 1.15 standard deviations above the mean. So this value comes out to be:

150 + 1.15(25) = 178.75

So, the interval from 121.25 to 178.75 contains the 75% of the data values.

Find the vertex, focus, directrix, and focal width of the parabola. (5 points)
Anarel [89]

\bf \textit{vertical parabola vertex form with focus point distance} \\\\ 4p(y- k)=(x- h)^2 \qquad \begin{cases} \stackrel{vertex}{(h,k)}\qquad \stackrel{focus~point}{(h,k+p)}\qquad \stackrel{directrix}{y=k-p}\\\\ p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\ \qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}\\\\ \stackrel{"p"~is~negative}{op ens~\cap}\qquad \stackrel{"p"~is~positive}{op ens~\cup} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}

\bf -\cfrac{1}{20}x^2=y\implies \cfrac{x^2}{-20}=y\implies x^2=-20y\implies (x-0)^2=-20(y-0) \\\\\\ (x-\stackrel{h}{0})^2=4(\stackrel{p}{-5})(y-\stackrel{k}{0})

something noteworthy is that the squared variable is the "x", thus the parabola is a vertical one, the "p" value is negative, so is opening downwards, and the h,k is pretty much the origin,

vertex is at (0,0)

the focus point is "p" or 5 units down from there, namely at (0, -5)

the directrix is "p" units on the opposite direction, up, namely at y = 5

the focal width, well, |4p| is pretty much the focal width, in this  case, is simply yeap, you guessed it, 20.

Rachel has developed a plan to start paying off her credit card debt, and has stopped making purchases with her credit card. She
Ann [662]
Present value of annuity PV = P(1 - (1 + r/t)^-nt) / (r/t)
where: p is the monthly payment, r is the APR = 14.12% = 0.1412, t is the number of payments in one year = 12, n is the number of years = 2.
1,120.87 = P(1 - (1 + 0.1412/12)^(-2 x 12)) / (0.1412 / 12)
0.1412(1120.87) = 12P(1 - (1 + 0.1412/12)^-24)
P = 0.1412(1120.87) / 12(1 - (1 + 0.1412/12)^-24) = $53.88

Minimum monthly payment = 3.15% of 1120.87(1 + 0.1412/12) = 0.0315 x 1120.87(1 + 0.1412/12) = $35.72

Therefore, his first payment will be greater than the minimum payment by 53.88 - 35.72 = $18.16
