On the map, a distance of 20 miles are represented by 1 inch .

So distance of 1 mile is represented by

$\frac{1}{20} inch$

And therefore, distance of 135 miles are represented by

$135* \frac{1}{20} = \frac{135}{20} = 6.75 inches$

How do the real solution of a quadratic equation show on a graph of that equation?

NeX [460]

Answer:

They show as intersections with the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, the quadratic y = x² - 1 has roots x = -1 and x = 1.

They show on the graph as intersections of the parabola with the x axis at x = -1 and x = 1.

Find the volume of a box with a height that is 4 inches less than the

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Volume of the box = x^3 - 4x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

V = L × W × H

Where,

V = volume of the rectangular prism

L= Length

W = Width

H = Height

volume of the rectangular prism = length × width × height

Length = x

Width= length = x

Height = x - 4

V = L × W × H

= x * x * (x - 4)

= x^2 (x - 4)

= x^3 - 4x^2

V = x^3 - 4x^2

Volume of the box = x^3 - 4x^2

Arada [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using normal distribution

z = (x - mean) / standard deviation

Nine percent of americans say they are well informed about politics in comparison to most people.

That means probability of success is p =9/100 = 0.09,

then probability of failure is

q = 1-p =1 -0.09= 0.91

n = number of sample = 200

x=(8% of 200) = 0.08×200 =16

mean = np = 200×0.09= 18

Standard deviation = npq = 200×0.09×0.91= 16.38

We are looking for the probability that less than 8% of the people sampled will answer yes to the question

8% of 200 = 16

P (x greater than 16) =P(x lesser than/equal to 15)

z = 15-18 /16.38 = -3/16.38

= -0.18

Looking at the normal distribution table

P(x greater than 16) = 0.5714
