Well, if both Alexis and Tara mine salt for 40 hours... they'd have mine 1,000 pounds of salt. Is this what you were looking for?
Answer:
C. 0.98
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the mean of Company A and B annual profit and x/2 and y are standard deviation of Company A and B annual profit.
P(B<0) = 0.9*P(A<0)
P(Z<(0-x)/y) = 0.9*P(Z<(0-x)/(x/2))
P(Z<-x/y) = 0.9*P(Z<-2)
P(Z<-x/y) = 0.0205
x/y =2.04
Or y/x = 1 /2.05
y/x =0.49
Ratio of the standard deviation of company B annual profit to the standard deviation of company A annual profit =y/(x/2)
= 2*(y/x)
= 2*0.49
= 0.98
The answer is <span>c. 16x2 + 24xy + 9y2.
Since we need trinomial (three term expression) choices a and b are incorrect because they have only two terms.
So, our square trinomial is a</span>² + 2ab + b² or a² - 2ab + b²
a² + 2ab + b² = (a + b)²
a² - 2ab + b² = (a - b)²
Let's check choices c and d:
c) 16x² + 24xy + 9y²
a² = 16x²
a² = (4x)²
a = 4x
b² = 9y²
b² = (3y)²
b = 3y
a² + 2ab + b² = (4x)² + 2 * 4x * 3y + (3y)² = 16x² + 24xy + 9y²
CORRECT
d) 49x² - 70xy + 10y²
a² = 49x²
a² = (7x)²
a = 7x
b² = 10y²
b² = (y√10)²
b = y√10
a² + 2ab + b² = (7x)² + 2 * 7x * y√10 + (y√10)² = 49x² + 14xy√10 + 10y²
INCORRECT
So, c) is correct answer
I believe it would be -17 degrees per minute
