Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Wire is 4 1/2 feet, or 4.5 feet.

Each smaller wire needs to be 1 1/4 feet, or 1.25 feet.

<em>How many whole 1.25 feet wire can we have from total of 4.5 feet wire?</em>

<em />

Let's divide:

\\frac{4.5}{1.25}=3.6

<em>thus we can have 3 whole "1.25 feet long" wire and fractional amount.</em>

<em />

<em>Hence, maximum number of smaller pieces is 3</em>

Suppose that, in 1995, the weight of 16-year old males in the United States was normally distributed with a mean of 143 lbs and
seropon [69]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is:

H0: μ(1995)=μ(2019)

The alternative hypothesis is:

H1: μ(1995)<μ(2019)

Because Roger wants to know if mean weight of 16-old males in 2019 is more than the mean weight of 16-old males in 1995 the test only uses one tail of the z-distribution.  It is not a  two-sided test because in that case the alternative hypothesis would be:  μ(1995)≠μ(2019).

To know the p-value, we use the z-statistic, in this case 1.89 and the significance level. Because the problem does not specify it, we will search for the p-value at a 5% significance level and at a 1%.

For a z of 1.89 and 5% significance level, the p-value is: 0.9744

For a z of 1.89 and 1% significance level, the p-value is: 0.9719

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIS???????????
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

See Step by step explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(g+f)(x) = g(x) + f(x) = 7x-1\\(g'f)(x) = g(x)f(x) = (3x-1)(4x) = 12x^{2}-4x\\(g-f)(-2) = -(-2)-1 = 1

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1 Factoring 4y2-12y+9

The first term is, 4y2 its coefficient is 4 .
The middle term is, -12y its coefficient is -12 .
The last term, "the constant", is +9

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 4 • 9 = 36

Step-2 : Find two factors of 36 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -12 .

-36 + -1 = -37
-18 + -2 = -20
-12 + -3 = -15
-9 + -4 = -13
-6 + -6 = -12 That's it

Write an equation of the line that passes through a pair of points (-5, -2), (4, 5)
PIT_PIT [208]
To find the equation of a line knowing two points it passes through, we must first find the slope and then substitute the x and y values to figure out the y intercept. 

First thing is to find the slope using the formula m = Δy ÷ Δx
m = 5 - (-2) ÷ 4 - (-5)

Now we simplify 
m = 7 ÷ 9 

Our equation so far is y = 7/9x + b. Now we can substitute the values of x and y from a point to figure out the answer. The equation here uses the point (4,5)

5 = 7/9 · 4 + b

Get b on one side
5 - 28/9 = b

Simplify
b = 1 + 8/9

That makes the equation of the line y = 7/9x + (1 + 8/9)
