Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

5 to the 15th power.

Step-by-step explanation:

PEMDAS requires us to do parenthesis, then exponents, and then division. Let's do 5³. 5x5x5 is equal to 125. Now, we find 125 to the ninth power. According to my calculations, 125 to the ninth power is equal to 7,450,580,596,923,828,125. Now, we find 5 to the twelfth power, which, according to my calculations, is 244,140,625. Now, we solve. According to my calculations, 7,450,580,596,923,828,125/244,140,625 is equal to 30,517,578,125. 30,517,578,125 is equivalent to 5 to the 15th power. That means that the second option is correct. I hope this helps!

Write an equation for the quadratic graphed below
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

LOL The graph doesn’t match the y intercept :)

Anyway

If we have point (0,-3) we have a quadratic of

y=ax^2+bx-3 we are given points (-1,0) and (2,0) so

a-b-3=0 and 4a+2b-3=0

4a+2b-3+2(a-b-3)=0

4a+2b-3+2a-2b-6=0

6a-9=0

6a=9

a=1.5, since a-b=3

1.5-b=3

b=-1.5

y=1.5x^2-1.5x-3

PLEASE HELP ME FAST! IF GIVEN GOOD ANSWERS WILL MARK AS BRAINLIEST!
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Given that the local ice cream shop is deciding whether or not to hire a new worker. The shop must pay the worker hourly and cover a daily cost for insurance. The cost to pay an hourly worker for one day is represented by the function y=10x+30 where x=hours.

We find that this is of the form y = mx + B where

m = 10 and B = 30

Hence slope = m = 10

Answer is 10,

and it represents the rate of change of y for a unit change in x.

2. The answer is the third option "No; the data doesn't suggest a causation, and many people are healthy who don't exercise." Correlation is two data set that are linked or connected together so in this case it would be a correlation because all of the data is close and connected to each other.

3. The answer is "Correlation, because time of day doesn't cause a person to run faster or slower ".

That's the correct answer because causation would mean there is a cause and effect and in the question, there is no cause. It can't be the last one because there is enough information. It also can't be the third one because there is a relationship since he shown he runs faster in the evening. Also I took the test and it was right!
