Answer: 5890 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The highest point in the mountains of Seattle is 5,833 meters above sea level.

The lowest point in the valley is 57 meters below sea level.

in integers it is represented by -57 meters. [we use negative integer to represents "below"]

Difference between the highest and lowest point = Highest point - lowest point

=  5,833 meters -(-57) meters

= (5833 + 57) meters      [a-(-b)= a+b]

= 5890 meters

Hence, the required difference = 5890 meters

Farmers often sell fruits and vegetables at farmers’ markets during the summer. Each tomato stand at the Bentonville farmers’ ma
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

the probability that all tomatoes are sold is  0.919 (91.9%)

Step-by-step explanation:

since the random variable X= number of tomatoes that are demanded,  is normally distributed we can make the standard random variable Z such that:

Z=(X-μ)/σ = (83 - 125)/30 = -1.4

where μ= expected value of X= mean of X (since X is normally distributed)  , σ=standard deviation of X

then all tomatoes are sold if the demand surpasses 83 tomatos , therefore

P(X>83) = P(Z>-1.4) = 1- P(Z≤-1.4)

from tables of standard normal distribution →P(Z≤-1.4)=0.081 , therefore

P(X>83) = 1- P(Z≤-1.4)  = 1 - 0.081 = 0.919 (91.9%)

thus the probability that all tomatoes are sold is  0.919 (91.9%)

1. Which of the following measurements could be the three side lengths of a right triangle? a. 4 cm, 5 cm, 9 cm b. 12 cm, 20 cm,
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

b and c

Step-by-step explanation:

The Triangle Inequality Theorem lets us know that the sum of the two shortest sides of the triangle must be greater than the third side of the triangle.

In both A and D, the sum of the shortest two sides are equal to, not greater than the third side, so they will not form a triangle.

In B, 12+20 is 32, which is greater than 25. And in C, 18+24 is 42, which is greater than 30, so they both will form a triangle.

Two trains leave a city at 3 P.M. One train goes east at a constant rate of 70 mph. The other goes west at a rate of 62 mph. How
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for distance, rate and time is:

d = rt, where distance is the product of rate multiplied by time

Given that one train is moving at a rate of 70 mph and one is moving at a rate of 62 mph in the opposite direction, the combined distance over time is equal to 528 miles.  Using the variable 't' for time:

70t + 62t = 528

Combine like terms: 132t = 528

Divide both sides by 132: 132t/132 = 528/132  or t = 4 hours

Factor completely 3x3 − 6x2 − 24x. 3x(x − 4)(x + 2) 3x(x + 4)(x − 2) 3x(x − 3)(x − 2) 3x(x + 3)(x − 2)
inysia [295]

Answer:

3x(x - 4)(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x³ - 6x² - 24x ← factor out common factor of 3x from each term

= 3x(x² - 2x - 8) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 8) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

The factors are - 4 and + 2, since

- 4 × 2 = - 8 and - 4 + 2 = - 2, thus

x² - 2x - 8 = (x - 4)(x + 2) and

3x³ - 6x² - 24x = 3x(x - 4)(x + 2)
