Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Yes, the following statement is true. The police officer is gathering data by writing down all the speeding tickets and seperating them into two categories, red and non-red cars. He can later analyze this data and compare them to determine whether or not his hypothesis is true.

b. The color of the car is the only variable that would not be a confounding variable in this scenario. This would instead be the independent variable and does not in any way affect the dependent variable which would be the number of speeding tickets received.

If j(x) = x4 - 81, and k(x) = x + 3 then j(x) divide by k(x) =
Gelneren [198K]
<span>(x-3)(x^2+9) or x^3 -3x^2 + 9x - 27 First, let's see about factoring x^4 - 81. Cursory examination indicates that it's the difference of two squares and so it initially factors into (x^2 - 9)(x^2 + 9) And the (x^2 - 9) term is also the difference of 2 squares so it too factors into: (x - 3)(x + 3) So a partial factorization of x^4 - 81 is: (x - 3)(x + 3)(x^2 + 9) The (x^2 + 9) term could be factored as well, but that's not needed for this problem, and so I won't do it. Now we can divide (x-3)(x+3)(x^2+9) by (x+3). The (x+3) terms will cancel and we get as the result (x-3)(x+3)(x^2+9) / (x+3) = (x-3)(x^2+9) We can leave the answer as (x-3)(x^2+9), or we can multiply it out, getting: x^3 -3x^2 + 9x - 27</span>

How do you find the surface area of a sphere? What should the label be?
melamori03 [73]
Surface area = 4 pi r^2

where 

pi : 3.14 a constant

r : raduis

surface area is the change of volume with respect to raduis

volume = 4/3 pi r^3

dvolume/dr = 4 pi r^2 

you can prove the identity with double integration in spherical coordinates or volumes of revolutions and polar coordinates

What is the PERIMETER of the rectangle?<br> What is the AREA of the rectangle?
Sonja [21]

Answer:

Area= 45 units squared

perimeter= 28 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area: multiply 5 times 9 to get the number of squares inside (length times width)

Perimeter: add all the side lengths together; 9+9+5+5 ( becuase this is a rectangle, the top 2 lengths are the same and the 2 lengths on the side are equal, so you can also just do 2 times (9+5) and that will work fine too)

Use the figure to complete each statement<br> 1-6. pleaseee help will give brainliest
labwork [276]

Answer:

1. UW // TX

2. VX // UY

3. UW ≅ TY ≅ YX

4. YW = \frac{1}{2} TV

5. TX = 2 UW

6. ∠TXV ≅∠WUY

Step-by-step explanation:

The line segment joining the midpoint of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and equal to half its length

In Δ XVT

∵ U is the midpoint of VT

∵ W is the midpoint of VX

∵ XT is the 3rd side of the triangle

→ By using the rule above

∴ UW // TX ⇒ (1)

∴ UW = \frac{1}{2} TX

→ Multiply both sides by 2

∴ 2 UW = TX

∴ TX = 2 UW ⇒ (5)

∵ Y is the midpoint of TX

∴ TY = YX = \frac{1}{2} TX

∵ UW = \frac{1}{2} TX

∴ UW ≅ TY ≅ YX ⇒ (3)

∵ U is the midpoint of VT

∵ Y is the midpoint of XT

∵ VX is the 3rd side of the triangle

→ By using the rule above

∴ UY // VX

∴ VX // UY ⇒ (2)

∴ UY = \frac{1}{2} VX

∵ W is the midpoint of VX

∵ Y is the midpoint of XT

∵ TV is the 3rd side of the triangle

→ By using the rule above

∴ YW // TV

∴ YW = \frac{1}{2} TV ⇒ (4)

∵ 2 Δs UYW and XVT

∵ UY = \frac{1}{2} XV

∵ YW = \frac{1}{2} VT

∵ WU = \frac{1}{2} TX

∴ \frac{UY}{XV} = \frac{UW}{VT} = \frac{WU}{TX} = \frac{1}{2}

→ By using the SSS postulate of similarity

∴ ∠TXV ≅∠WUY ⇒ (6)

Mark uses 19 gallons of gas while traveling 399
Ket [755]

Answer:

189

Step-by-step explanation:

If mark uses 19 gallons to travel 399 miles, that means he was able to travel 21 miles per gallon.

We get this by taking 399 divided by 19.

So if mark travels on 9 gallons of gas and goes 21 miles per gallon, he will have traveled 189 miles.

We get this by taking 21 times 9
