Divide the length of the wall by 2 to find the center of the wall:14/2 = 7 feet

The center of the painting is 2/2 = 1 foot.

The edge of the wall would be the center of the wall minus the center of the painting:

7 - 1 = 6 feet.

There should be 6 feet on each side of the painting.

Let p represent # of pages in the book.

Then (1/4)p = 67. Solve for p by mult. both sides of this equation by 4:

p = 268 (pages)

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)

= (3-1)/(0-1)

= 2/-1

Anna11 [10]

You should try both points
put x=5/2 and y=3
5-2=3
the first one is on the graph
put x=3/2 and y=20
3-40/3≠3
the second one is not on the graph

With food prices becoming a great issue in the world; wheat yields are even more important. Some of the highest yielding dry lan

Answer:

Option E) 61.6

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 100 bushels per acre

Standard Deviation, σ = 30 bushels per acre

We assume that the distribution of yield is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

P(X>x) = 0.90

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.90

P(X > x)

$P( X > x) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{x - 100}{30})=0.90$

$= 1 -P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 100}{30})=0.90$

$=P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 100}{30})=0.10$

Calculation the value from standard normal table, we have,

$P(z$

$\displaystyle\frac{x - 100}{30} = -1.282\\x = 61.55 \approx 61.6$

Hence, the yield of 61.6 bushels per acre or more would save the seed.

The radius of a sphere, r, is given by the formula below, where s is the surface area of the sphere. A spherical balloon has a m

liraira [26]

The formula for the radius of a sphere is:
r(s) = sqrt[s/(4pi)]
This is based on the formula that s = 4pi*r^2

As can be seen, as the surface area increases, s/4pi increases, and sqrt(s/4pi) will also increase, meaning that the radius will increase. This continues until the balloon reaches the maximum s = 1500 cm^2.

The correct answer is the first choice:
<span>As the surface area of the balloon increases, the radius of the balloon increases until the maximum surface area is reached.</span>
