Answer:

It is a perfect square. Explanation below.

Explanation:

Perfect squares are of the form

(

a

+

b

)

2

=

a

2

+

2

a

b

+

b

2

. In polynomials of x, the a-term is always x.(

(

x

+

c

)

2

=

x

2

+

2

c

x

+

c

2

)

x

2

+

8

x

+

16

is the given trinomial. Notice that the first term and the constant are both perfect squares:

x

2

is the square of x and 16 is the square of 4.

So we find that the first and last terms correspond to our expansion. Now we must check if the middle term,

8

x

is of the form

2

c

x

.

The middle term is twice the constant times x, so it is

2

×

4

×

x

=

8

x

.

Okay, we found out that the trinomial is of the form

(

x

+

c

)

2

, where

x

=

x

and

c

=

4

.

Let us rewrite it as

x

2

+

8

x

+

16

=

(

x

+

4

)

2

. Now we can say it is a perfect square, as it is the square of

(

x

+

4

)

.

Which lists the steps in the correct order to find the median of this data set?
Fofino [41]

The median of the data set can be found as follows:

1. Put the numbers in order (from least to the greatest): 16, 18, 23, 24, 29, 30

2. Cross off high/low pairs: 16, 18, (23, 24,) 29, 30

3. Divide the sum by 2: (23 + 24)/2 = 23.5

<h3>What is the Median?</h3>

The median of a data set is the data value at the middle of the data set when it is ordered.

Steps to find the median of the data set, 24, 16, 23, 30, 18, 29:

1. Put the numbers in order (from least to the greatest)

16, 18, 23, 24, 29, 30

2. Cross off high/low pairs: 16, 18, (23, 24,) 29, 30

3. Divide the sum by 2: (23 + 24)/2 = 23.5

4

The median is therefore, 23.5.

Mr. O'Connor had $90 to spend at a football game. He spent 31/45 on his ticket. Then, he spent 3/7 of his remaining money at the
Kobotan [32]

He has $90 in total to spend

He spent (31/45) of this money on ticket

so money spent on ticket =(31/45) *90 =2790/45 =62

Now money left with him is 90-62 =28 $

Now it says that he spent (3/7) of this remaining money at concession stand

so money spent on concession stand =(3/7)*28 =84/7 =12

Now money left with him = 28-12 =16

So money left with him is $16 but hat costs for $18

So Mr. O'Connor didnt have enough moeny to buy the hat

A certain genetic condition affects 8% of the population in a city of 10,000. Suppose there is a test for the condition that has
enot [183]

Solution:

Population in the city= 10,000

As genetic condition affects 8% of the population.

8 % of 10,000

=\frac{8}{100}\times 10,000=800

As, it is also given that, there is an error rate of 1% for condition (i.e., 1% false negatives and 1% false positives).

So, 1% false negatives means out of 800 tested who are found affected , means there are chances that 1% who was found affected are not affected at all.

So, 1% of 800 =\frac{1}{100}\times 800=8

Also,  1% false positives means out of 10,000 tested,[10,000-800= 9200] who are found not affected , means there are chances that 1% who was found not affected can be affected also.

So, 1% of 9200 =\frac{1}{100}\times 9200=92

1. Has condition Does not have condition totals  = 800

2. Test positive =92

3. Test negative =8

4. Total =800 +92 +8=900

5. Probability (as a percentage) that a person has the condition if he or she tests positive= As 8% are found positive among 10,000 means 9200 are not found affected.But there are chances that out of 9200 , 1% may be affected

=\frac{\text{1 percent of 9200}}{9200}\\\\ \frac{\frac{1}{100}\times 9200}{9200}=\frac{92}{9200}\\\\ =0.01

that is Probability equal to 0.01 or 1%.

The length of the side opposite B measures __ units
Sindrei [870]

For this case what we should do is observe the figure.

We note that the side opposite to vertex B is the AC side.

From here, we can see that the length of the AC segment is given by:

AC = 4

Therefore, the measurement on the side opposite to vertex B is equal to 4 units.

Answer:

The length of the side opposite B measures 4 units
