Answer:

5/12 of a pound or 0.42 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

$1 is 12 times less than $12. So, if the amount of money is divided by 12, than the amount of apples you can buy is also divided by 12:

5/12 = 0.42

You can buy 5/12 of a pound or approximately 0.42 pounds of apples for $1.

Answer:

5/12 or 0.41666667 pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the equation as 5/12=x/1 and cross multiply. Then you will get 12x=5. Divide both sides by 12 and then you will get 5/12.

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs not all tiles will be used match each quadratic graph to its respectiv

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Part 1) The function of the First graph is $f(x)=(x-3)(x+1)$

Part 2) The function of the Second graph is $f(x)=-2(x-1)(x+3)$

Part 3) The function of the Third graph is $f(x)=0.5(x-6)(x+2)$

See the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The quadratic equation in factored form is equal to

$f(x)=a(x-c)(x-d)$

where

a is the leading coefficient

c and d are the roots or zeros of the function

Part 1) First graph

we know that

The solutions or zeros of the first graph are

x=-1 and x=3

The parabola open up, so the leading coefficient a is positive

The function is equal to

$f(x)=a(x-3)(x+1)$

Find the value of the coefficient a

The vertex is equal to the point (1,-4)

substitute and solve for a

$-4=a(1-3)(1+1)$

$-4=a(-2)(2)$

$a=1$

therefore

The function is equal to

$f(x)=(x-3)(x+1)$

Part 2) Second graph

we know that

The solutions or zeros of the first graph are

x=-3 and x=1

The parabola open down, so the leading coefficient a is negative

The function is equal to

$f(x)=a(x-1)(x+3)$

Find the value of the coefficient a

The vertex is equal to the point (-1,8)

substitute and solve for a

$8=a(-1-1)(-1+3)$

$8=a(-2)(2)$

$a=-2$

therefore

The function is equal to

$f(x)=-2(x-1)(x+3)$

Part 3) Third graph

we know that

The solutions or zeros of the first graph are

x=-2 and x=6

The parabola open up, so the leading coefficient a is positive

The function is equal to

$f(x)=a(x-6)(x+2)$

Find the value of the coefficient a

The vertex is equal to the point (2,-8)

substitute and solve for a

$-8=a(2-6)(2+2)$

$-8=a(-4)(4)$

$a=0.5$

therefore

The function is equal to

$f(x)=0.5(x-6)(x+2)$

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

(-3.07, 11.07)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a sports writer wished to see if a football filled with helium travels farther, on average, than a football filled with air. To test this, the writer used eighteen adult male volunteers. These volunteers were randomly divided into two groups of nine subjects each.

Group Group One Group Two

Mean 300.00 296.00

SD 8.00 6.00

SEM 2.67 2.00

N 9 9

The mean of Group One minus Group Two equals 4.00

standard error of difference = 3.333

df = 16

t = 1.2000

Margin of error = 3.3333* t critical = 3.3333*2.121

95% confidence interval of this difference: From -3.07 to 11.07

Answer:

Its Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically Linear is derived from the word line

Also this an equation for the line

The y-intercept is 8 and the gradient is -7

This is why the function is linear
