B Fragments of the Earths Crust that float on the Earths Mantle
Delvig [45]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:  Plates at our planet's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell that forms when warm material rises, cools, and eventually sink down. As the cooled material sinks down, it is warmed and rises again.

Scores on a college entrance examination are normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100. What perce
Alla [95]

Answer:

The percentage is P(350 <  X  650 ) = 86.6\%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The population mean is  \mu  =  500

     The standard deviation is  \sigma  =  100

The  percent of people who write this exam obtain scores between 350 and 650    

    P(350 <  X  650 ) =  P(\frac{ 350 -  500}{ 100}

Generally  

               \frac{X -  \mu }{\sigma }  =  Z (The \  standardized \  value \ of  \  X )

   P(350 <  X  650 ) =  P(\frac{ 350 -  500}{ 100}

   P(350 <  X  650 ) =  P(-1.5

   P(350 <  X  650 ) =  P(Z < 1.5) -  P(Z <  -1.5)

From the z-table  P(Z <  -1.5 )  =  0.066807

   and P(Z < 1.5  ) =  0.93319

=>    P(350 <  X  650 ) =  0.93319 -  0.066807

=>  P(350 <  X  650 ) = 0.866

Therefore the percentage is  P(350 <  X  650 ) = 86.6\%

Which is the completely factored form of 4x2 28x 49? (x 7)(4x 7) 4(x 7)(x 7) (2x 7)(2x 7) 2(x 7)(x 7)
natima [27]

The completely factored form of 4x^2 + 28x + 49 is given by: Option C: (2x+7)(2x+7)

<h3>How to find the factors of a quadratic expression?</h3>

If the given quadratic expression is of the form ax^2 + bx + c, then its factored form is obtained by two numbers alpha( α ) and beta( β) such that:

b = \alpha + \beta \\ ac =\alpha \times \beta

Then writing b in terms of alpha and beta would help us getting common factors out.

Sometimes, it is not possible to find factors easily, so using the quadratic equation formula can help out without any  trial and error.

For this case, the given quadratic expression is:

4x^2 + 28x + 49

So we've to find two numbers such that:

Their sum = b =  28

Their product = ac = 4\times 49 = 196

We can see that 196 is square of 14, and that 14 added twice forms 28, thus:

14 + 14 = 28

14×14 = 196

Writing b = 28 as sum of 14 twice, we get:

4x^2 + 28x + 49 = 4x^2 + 14x + 14x +49 \\4x^2 + 28x + 49 =  2x(2x+7) + 7(2x + 7)\\4x^2 + 28x + 49  = (2x+7)(2x+7)

Thus, the completely factored form of 4x^2 + 28x + 49 is given by: Option C: (2x+7)(2x+7)

Andrea has 3 tiles. One is a regular octagon, one is a regular pentagon and one is a regular hexagon. Andrea thinks the 3 tiles
HACTEHA [7]

From calculations, we can say that the given tiles will not fit together perfectly.

<h3>How to find the sum of interior angles of a Polygon?</h3>

If the tiles join perfectly at a point, sum of all angles around the joining point should be 360°.

Expression for the measure of the interior angle of a polygon,

Interior angle of a polygon = [(n - 2) * 180]/n

Interior angle of a pentagon = [(5 - 2) * 180]/5 = 108°

Interior angle of a hexagon = [(6 - 2) * 180]/6 = 120°

Interior angle of an octagon = [(8 - 2) * 180]/8 = 135°

To prove that the given tiles fit together perfectly → Sum of all the angles around the common point should be 360°

Sum of all interior angles = 108° + 120° + 135° = 363°

Therefore, given tiles will not fit together perfectly.
