Answer:

The standard deviation is 17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S be the sum of X and Y

S = X + Y

So we want to calculate the standard deviation of S

The standard deviation of S will be the square root of the sum of the variances of X and Y

Kindly recall that variance is the square of standard deviation

The variance of X will be 15^2 = 225

The variance of Y will be 9^2 = 81

So the standard deviation of the sum will be

√(81 + 225)

= √(306)

= 17.5

A recipe requires 1/3 cup of milk for each 1/4 cup of water. How many cups of water are needed for each cup of milk?
Vanyuwa [196]
Okay for this question, you make a simple equation: (1/3)x=(1/4)y to represent the ratio between the milk and water. Then to find how many cups of water are needed for each cup of milk, you plug in 3 for x (because 1/3 times 3 equals one cup) and solve for your y value. Your final equation for solving should look like: (1/3)(3)=(1/4)y

The focus of a parabola is (0, -3) and the directrix is y = 3. What is the equation of the parabola?
mart [117]
Focus has coordinates (0, a)
a = -3
Thus, 4a = 4(-3) = -12

Because a is negative, we know it will be a concave down or concave left parabola. Hence, A and D can be eliminated. And we know it has to be B because the directrix is the horizontal line y = 3. Hence, the equation of the parabola becomes:

x^{2} = -12y or y = -\frac{1}{12}x^{2}

The expression 32−48 factored using the GCF is <br> .
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest factor that will divide evenly into both 32 and 48 is 16.

Thus, 32 - 48 = 16(2 - 3), or 16 (-1), or just -16.

The equation which correctly represents this situation is
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

C) x2 + x = 306

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 + x = 306

x2 + x - 306  = 0

x2  + 18x - 17x + 18 * (-17) = 0

x ( x + 18) - 17 (x +18) =0

(x + 18) (x - 17 ) = 0

x = -18 or 17

To determine the inverse of a point, you?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

So if you're asked to graph a function and its inverse, all you have to do is graph the function and then switch all x and y values in each point to graph the inverse. Just look at all those values switching places from the f(x) function to its inverse g(x) (and back again), reflected over the line y = x.
