Which of the following is something that will not affect your homeowner's insurance premium?

This Stem-and-Leaf Plot shows the amount of rainfall received in centimeters in each month. What is the median of this data set?

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

55.5 B

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following points of data

48, 49, 50, 51, 54, 55, 56, 58, 60, 62, 63, 63

The median is the data point in the middle (when listed in order)

If we find the middle number we'll see that it's between 55 and 56. When this is the case you find the average of the two numbers (add them and divide by 2)

(55+56)/2=55.5

A farmer fills his field proportionately with soybeans and corn. Last year he planted 200 acres of corn and 50 acres of soybeans

malfutka [58]

Answer:

Part A) Is a directly proportional

Part B) The constant of proportionality is $k=0.25$

Part C) The equation is $y=0.25x$

Part D) $62.5$ acres of soybeans

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Are the number of acres of corn and the number of acres of soybeans directly proportional or inversely proportional?

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $y/x=k$

Let

x-----> the number of acres of corn

y----> the number of acres of soybeans

so

$y/x=k$

if the number of acres of corn increases then the number of acres of soybeans increases

if the number of acres of corn decreases then the number of acres of soybeans decreases

therefore

The relationship is a directly proportional

Part B) What is the constant of proportionality?

we have that

For x=200, y=50

substitute

$y/x=k$

$k=50/200$

$k=0.25$

Part C) Let x equal the number of acres of corn and y equal the number of acres of soybeans. Write an equation to show this relationship.

The linear equation that represent the direct variation is equal to

$y/x=k$

we have

$k=0.25$

substitute

$y/x=0.25$

$y=0.25x$

Part D) How many acres of soybeans can the farmer plant this year if he plants 250 acres of corn?

For x=250

Find the value of y

substitute in the linear equation the value of x and solve for y

$y=0.25(250)=62.5$ -----> acres of soybeans

What is the solution to the system? 1. x-y + 2 z = -7 2. y + z =1 3. x-2 y - 3 z = 0

kvv77 [185]

You'd find this problem easier to understand and do if you'd please list the defining equations vertically and line up variables:

1. x - 1y + 2 z = -7

2. y + 1z = 1

3. x - 2 y - 3 z = 0 Now eliminate the line numbers:

x - 1y + 2 z = -7

1y + 1 z = 1

x - 2 y - 3 z = 0

Let's use the elimination method to eliminate variable z: Seeing that z = 1 - y, we transform the first equation into 1x - 1y + 2(1-y) = -7

and the third into x - 2y - 3(1-y) = 0.

Simplifying 1x - 1y + 2(1-y) = -7

and x - 2y - 3(1-y) = 0,

we get

1x - 2y - 3 + 3y) = 0 and 1x - 1y + 2 - 2y = -7

which in turn simplify to

1x + y = 3 and 1x - 3y = -9

Having eliminated the variable z, we now focus on eliminating x. Mult. the 1st equation by -1, obtaining -1x - 1y = -3. Add this result to 1x - 3y = -9:

0 - 4y = -12, which tells us that y = 3. Subbing 3 for y in 1x + 1y = 3 tells us that x = 0.

All we have left to determine is the vaue of z.

Borrowing Equation 3, from above, we get x - 2 y - 3 z = 0, and into this equation we substitute x = 0 and y = 3: 0 -2(3) - 3z = 0.

Thus, -3z = 6, and z = -2.

The solution set is (0, 3, -2). You should check this by substitution.

Which function has the greatest rate of change on the interval from x = 3 pi over 2 to x = 2π?

vodka [1.7K]

The average rate of change for the function f(x) can be calculated from the following equation
$\frac{f( x_{2})-f( x_{1} )}{ x_{2} - x_{1} }$

By applying the last formula on the given equations
(1) the first function f
from the table f(3π/2) = -2 and f(2π) = 0
∴ The average rate of f = $\frac{f(2 \pi)-f( \frac{3 \pi}{2} )}{2 \pi - \frac{3 \pi}{2} } = \frac{0-(-2)}{ \frac{\pi}{2} }= \frac{2}{ \frac{\pi}{2} } = \frac{4}{\pi}$

(2) the second function g(x)
from the graph g(3π/2) = -2 and g(2π) = 0
∴ The average rate of g = $\frac{g(2 \pi)-g( \frac{3 \pi}{2} )}{2 
\pi - \frac{3 \pi}{2} } = \frac{0-(-2)}{ \frac{\pi}{2} }= \frac{2}{ 
\frac{\pi}{2} } = \frac{4}{\pi}$

(3) the third function h(x) = 6 sin x +1
∴ h(3π/2) = 6 sin (3π/2) + 1 = 6 *(-1) + 1 = -5
 h(2π) = 6 sin (2π) + 1 = 6 * 0 + 1 = 1
∴ The average rate of h = $\frac{f(2 \pi)-f( \frac{3 \pi}{2} )}{2 
\pi - \frac{3 \pi}{2} } = \frac{1-(-5)}{ \frac{\pi}{2} }= \frac{6}{ 
\frac{\pi}{2} } = \frac{12}{\pi}$

By comparing the results, The function which has the greatest rate of change is h(x)


So, the correct answer is option C) h(x)
