a. If sea level is represented by 0, then something below sea level would be a value of something less than zero, a negative number. Because the Challenger Deep is 35,814 feet below sea level, it will be represented by -35,814.

b. Trieste is trying to reach the bottom of the challenger deep, which is y, and descending the ocean at -3 feet per second. So the equation would be like this

-35,814 = -3x

We are just looking for x. Notice how both number values are negative so the time it would take Trieste to reach the bottom would be a positive value.

-35,814 divided by -3 = 11938, so it would take 11938 seconds to reach the bottom.

c. <em>y</em> and <em>x</em> would be used in the same context as it would just now. Except that Trieste is coming up to the surface, so the depth of the Challenger Deep is positive.

35814 = k * 11938

k = 3, the amount of time it took to reach the surface in hours.

Hope this helps!

Can someone give me the answers for the number frame and how you did it, I’m confused :)

Answer:

16, 56, ...

Step-by-step explanation:

It looks like you have to put in each cell the multiplication of the row and the column, so the columns are 2, 7, 4 etc., and the row is always 8.

First cell: 2x8 = 16

Second cell: 7x8 = 56

and so on

It teaches you to apply the multiplication in a random sequence; you should be able to do this in your head.

Zoe says an equilateral triangle is always an acute triangle, but an acute triangle is never an equilateral triangle. Which stat

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Discussion

She is correct.

An equilateral triangle is a specific acute triangle. An acute triangle can never be an equilateral triangle because it has 3 unequal angles. Your best choice is likely C, but none of the choices are first rate choices.

Answer: C

An elementary school class ran 1 mile in an average of 11 minutes with a standard deviation of 3 minutes. Rachel, a student in t

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

a) Kenji's time had a lower z-score, which means that he is better compared to other runners on his level, and better to his peers compared to Nedda.

b) Rachel, because her time had the lowest z-score.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

The lower the time, the better the runner is. So whoever's time has a lower z-score is a better runner. So initially, we find the z-score of each student's time.

An elementary school class ran 1 mile in an average of 11 minutes with a standard deviation of 3 minutes. Rachel, a student in the class, ran 1 mile in 8 minutes.

This means that for Rachel's time, we have that $X = 8, \mu = 11, \sigma = 3$ . So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{8 - 11}{3}$

$Z = -1$

A junior high school class ran 1 mile in an average of 9 minutes, with a standard deviation of 2 minutes. Kenji, a student in the class, ran 1 mile in 8.5 minutes.

This means that for Kenji's time, we have that $X = 8.5, \mu = 9, \sigma = 2$ . So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{8.5 - 9}{2}$

$Z = -0.25$

A high school class ran 1 mile in an average of 7 minutes with a standard deviation of 4 minutes. Nedda, a student in the class, ran 1 mile in 8 minutes.

This means that for Nedda's time, we have that $X = 8, \mu = 7, \sigma = 4$ . So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{8 - 7}{4}$

$Z = 0.25$

(a) Why is Kenji considered a better runner than Nedda, even though Nedda ran faster than he?

Kenji's time had a lower z-score, which means that he is better compared to other runners on his level, and better to his peers compared to Nedda.

(b) Who is the fastest runner with respect to his or her class? Explain why

Rachel, because her time had the lowest z-score.

What is the center and radius of the circle that has the equation (x + 7)^2 + (y - 4)^2 ? Explain.

lesya [120]

Answer:

(-7, 4) and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a circle is expressed as (x - a)^2 + (y - b )^2 = r^2

Where the center is the point (a, b) and the radius is r

Note: simply inserting the variables and playing around with your signs gives you the value for (a and b)

The square root of the radius gives you the value for r
