Hello I’m new here ! But I’m having trouble understanding how my teacher factored out the A from a-a(1.2^4)? And made it to A(1-

1.2^4)?
I attached a picture !

Thank you everyone :)

This is the distributive property:

<em>ab</em> + <em>ac</em> = <em>a</em> (<em>b</em> + <em>c</em>)

In this case, you have

<em>a</em> - <em>a</em> (1.2⁴)

and <em>a</em> is a common factor to both <em>a</em> and <em>a</em> (1.2)⁴, so you can pull it out as

<em>a</em> (1 - 1.2⁴)

The base of a solid in the region bounded by the two parabolas y2 = 8x and x2 = 8y. Cross sections of the solid perpendicular to
Usimov [2.4K]

The two curves intersect at two points, (0, 0) and (8, 8):

x^2=8y\implies y=\dfrac{x^2}8

y^2=\dfrac{x^4}{64}=8x\implies\dfrac{x^4}{64}-8x=0\implies\dfrac{x(x-8)(x^2+8x+64)}{64}=0

\implies x=0,x=8\implies y=0,y=8

The area of a semicircle with diameter d is \dfrac{\pi d^2}8. The diameter of each cross-section is determined by the vertical distance between the two curves for any given value of x between 0 and 8. Over this interval, y^2=8x\implies y=\sqrt{8x} and \sqrt{8x}>\dfrac{x^2}8, so the volume of this solid is given by the integral

\displaystyle\frac\pi8\int_0^8\left(\sqrt{8x}-\dfrac{x^2}8\right)^2\,\mathrm dx=\frac{288\pi}{35}

Im Confused… <br><br> ( The question is in the image )
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

488

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle: 17 x 22 = 374

Area of triangle: 22 - 10 = 12

0.5(12 x 19) = 114

Add them together: 374 + 114 = 488

A car traveled 120 miles driving 60 miles per hour. The trip took 2 hours.
Ugo [173]
To answer this all you need to do is divide 120 by 50

120/50
2.4

So it will take 2 hours and 24 minutes (.4 of 60 to get the 24)

The regression equation Credits = 17.9 − 0.09 Work was estimated from a sample of 21 statistics students. Credits is the number
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Given the regression equation

Credit= 17.9 - 0.09 Work

That was estimated from a sample of n= 21 statistic students.

Y: number of college credits taken

X: number of hours worked per week at an outside job

a)

The estimation for the slope is -0.09

As you see the estimated slope is negative, this means that the association between the two variables is indirect or inverse. Meaning, when the number of Work increases, the number of Credit decreases. (negative regression)

The correct option is: "An increase in the number of hours worked per week decreases the expected number of credits."

b)

The estimation for the intercept is 17.9

In general, the intercept is the estimated average of Y when X=0. You can interpret the intercept of this equation as "the value of Credits earned by a student that does not work outside of school"

The correct option is: " The intercept is meaningful as a student may not have a job outside of school. "

c)

If Work=0, then Credit= 17.9 (As explained in item b)

By replacing the value in the equation: Credit= 17.9 - 0.09 * 0= 17.9

If Work=60, you replace it in the equation and:

Credit= 17.9 - 0.09 Work= 17.9-0.09*60= 12.5

If the student works 60 hs outside of school it is expected that he takes 12.5 college credits.

I hope this helps!
