Answer:

2 inches per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/2 hours is equivalent to 150 minutes.

Set up a proportion; let x equal inches of rain

$\frac{5}{150}$ = $\frac{x}{60}$

Cross multiply -> 150x=300

Divide both sides by 150 to get -> x=2

The mean of a normally distributed dataset is 12, and the standard deviation is 2.

Schach [20]

So lets do it like this:
z = (X-Mean)/SD
z1 = (8-12)/2 = - 2 
z2 = (16-12)/2 = + 2 
According to the Empirical Rule 68-95-99.7 
Mean more or less 2SD covers 95% of the values 
So the percentage of data points falling between 8 and 16 = 95%
I hope this can help

What are the zeros of this polynomial and state their multiplicity at each y=(x-5)(x+2)^2

N76 [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros of a polynomial are the x-intercepts of the function. To find them, we factor the polynomial and set each factor equal to 0.

This polynomial is already factored so set each to 0 and solve for x.

$x-5=0\\x=5\\(x+2)^{2}=0 \\(x+2)=0\\x=-2$

This means x=-2, 5. Each zero or root has a multiplicity - the number of times the factor occurs. This is also known as the exponent of the factor expression.

(x+5) occurs once since it has exponent 1.

$(x+2)^{2}$ occurs twoce since it has exponent 2.

x=5 mult. 1, x=-2 mult. 2

Ramona went to a theme park during spring break. She was there for 7 hours and rode 14 rides. At what rate did Ramona ride rides

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

2 rides per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a division problem since we would need to divide in order to answer the question.

Divide the amount of rides she rode to the number of hours she was there.

Input the numbers below:

amount of rides she rode/number of hours there

14/7=2

At this rate, Ramona rode 2 rides per hour.
