You have two strains of mice, one is inbred and the other is genetically heterogeneous. You examine weight differences for the m

ice when they are raised in the same environment. If the total variance for the inbred strain is 0.5 square ounces and total variance for the heterogeneous strain is 0.7 square ounces, what is the relative amount of variance due to genetic variation

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

You have two strains of mice, one is inbred and the other is genetically heterogeneous. You examine weight differences for the mice when they are raised in the same environment. If the total variance for the inbred strain is 0.5 square ounces and total variance for the heterogeneous strain is 0.7 square ounces, what is the relative amount of variance due to genetic variation ?

Multiple Choice

A. 0.2 square ounces

B. 0.5 square ounces

C. 0.7 square ounces

D. 1.2 square ounces

Answer:

Option  A) 0.2 square ounces  is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

two strains of mice where raised in the environment and while one is inbred, the other is genetically heterogeneous.

The total variance for the inbred strain =  0.5 square ounces

total variance for the heterogeneous strain = 0.7 square ounces

relative amount of variance due to genetic variation = ?

The relative amount of variance due to genetic variation can be gotten by taking the difference of the total variance of both mice

so;

relative amount of variance due to genetic variation = variance for the heterogeneous strain - total variance for the inbred strain

we substitute our values

relative amount of variance due to genetic variation = 0.7 - 0.5

relative amount of variance due to genetic variation = 0.2 square ounces.

Therefore Option  A) 0.2 square ounces  is the correct answer

Graph the line and the parabola and find the points of intersection: y= 3-x ; y=x(squared)+x-12
melomori [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to graph a line y = 3 - x which has the slope = -1 and y intercept 3.

We will select two points where line intersects at x = 0 and y = 0

The given line will intersect x-axis at (3, 0) and at y- axis (0, 3).

Joining these two points we can draw a straight line showing y = -x + 3

Now we will draw the parabola given by equation y = x² + x - 12

We will convert this equation in vertex form first to get the vertex and line of symmetry.

Standard equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = (x - h)² + k

Where (h, k) is the vertex and x = h is the line of symmetry.

y = x² + x - 12

y = x² + 2(0.5)x + (0.5)²- (0.5)²-12

y = (x + 0.5)² - 12.25

Therefore, vertex will be (-0.5, -12.25) and line of symmetry will be x = 0.5

For x intercept,

0 = (x + 0.5)² - 12.25

x + 0.5 = ±√12.25

x = -0.5 ± 3.5

x = -4, 3

For y- intercept,

y = (0+0.5)² - 12.25

 = 0.25 - 12.25

y = -12

So the parabola has vertex (-0.5, - 12.25), line of symmetry x = 0.5, x intercept (4, 0), (and y-intercept (0, -12).

Now we have to find the points of intersection of the given line and parabola.

For this we will replace the values of y

3 - x = x² + x - 12

x² + 2x - 15 = 0

x² + 5x - 3x - 15 = 0

x(x + 5) - 3(x + 5) = 0

(x - 3)(x + 5) = 0

x = 3, -5

For x = 3

y = 3- 3 = 0

For x = -5

y = 3 + 5 = 8

Therefore, points of intersection will be (3, 0) and (-5, 8)

What is the solución of the equation x2-4x+1=0?
koban [17]

Answer:

x = 2 + √3 and

x = 2 - √3

Step-by-step explanation:

Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation:  x^2 - 4x + 1 = 0.

Here you have multiple choices of methods of solution:

quadratic formula, completing the square, graphing, and so on.

If we complete the square, then:                   x^2 - 4x + 1 = 0 becomes

                                                                       x^2 - 4x + 4 - 4 + 1 = 0, or

(x - 2)^2 = 3

Taking the square root of both sides, we get x - 2 = ±√3, so that the roots are:

x = 2 + √3 and

x = 2 - √3

3y - 5z = -23
leonid [27]
Starting off, we can multiply the third equation by 2 and add it to the third to get rid of both the x and y variables. Next, we get z=1. Plugging that into 3y-5z=-23, we get 3y-5=-23. Adding 5 to both sides, we get 3y=-18. After that, we can divide both sides by 3 to get y=-6. Plugging that into -2x-y-z=-3, we get -2x+6-1=-3=-2x+5. Subtracting 5x from both sides, we get -2x=-8. After that, we can divide both sides by -2 to get x=4.

If a(n)=24 which recursive formula could represent the sequence below? <br> ...,24,88,664,8408,...
sesenic [268]
24= 3*2^3  
88= 11*2^3
664= 83*2^3 -> 83=11+72 = 11 + 2^3*3^2
664=2^3 (11+2^3*3^2) = 88 +(2^3*2^3*3^2) = 88 +(24^2)

8408= 1051 * 2^3 -> 1051= 83+968 -> 968 = 2^3 * 11^2
8408= 2^3 (83+2^3*11^2) = 664 +(2^3*2^3*11^2) = 664 +(88^2)

So: 
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2)^2

Lets check: 88+24^2= 664
664+88^2= 8408
