Joey and Armando live on the same st as the park. The park is 9/10 mile from Joey's home. Joey leaves home and walks to Armando'

AleksandrR [38]

Let's start by assuming Armando's house is between Joey's and the park.

Let $x$ be the distance Joey walked to Armando's house.

The park is 9/10 mile from Joey's home. Joey leaves home and walks to Armando's home. Then Joey and Armando walk 3/5 mile to the park.

 $\dfrac{9}{10} = x + \dfrac{3}{5}$

$x = \dfrac{9}{10} - \dfrac{3}{5} = \dfrac{9}{10} -\dfrac{6}{10} = \dfrac{3}{10}$

That's probably the answer they're looking for. But what if the park is between Joey and Armando's houses or Joey is between the park and Armando? (The latter isn't really possible with the given distances.)

Let $a, b, c$ be the distances between three collinear points like we have here. Our equation is really a few equations in one, something like

$\pm a \pm b = \pm c$

Let's get rid of the plus/minuses. Squaring,

$a^2 + b^2\pm 2ab = c^2$

$\pm 2ab = c^2-a^2-b^2$

$4a^2b^2 = (c^2-a^2-b^2)^2$

For us, that's a quadratic equation for $c^2$

$4(9/10)^2(3/5)^2= (c^2-(9/10)^2 - (3/5)^2)^2$

I'll skip right to the solutions,

$c^2=\dfrac{9}{100} \textrm{ or } c^2=\dfrac{9}{4}$

$c=\dfrac{3}{10} \textrm{ or } c=\dfrac{3}{2}$

We could have gotten the 3/2 just by adding 9/10+3/5 but this was more fun.

Which graph shows a set of ordered pairs that represent a function? Need help

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The third graph, the top right graph

Step-by-step explanation:

A function when determined graphically is a graph that passes the straight line test, which means if there is any two points on the graph which you can plot a vertical straight line going through both of them it is not a function. If 1 x value is equal to 2 y values, it is not a function.

For each of the following studies, say whether you would use a t test for dependent means or a t test for independent means.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

1. T test for independent means

2. T test for dependent means

3. T test for dependent means

Step-by-step explanation:

In number 1, the two groups are unrelated. The first group has 25 subjects and they're all unemployed. The second group has 24 subjects and their employment status is not stated and might not be the same all through. Also, the first group is receiving a new type of job skills program while the second group is taking the standard job skills program.

- The groups in the experiment are unrelated

- The tests in the research are unrelated

- The purpose of the research is unreasonable - the researcher seeks to measure how well all 49 subjects perform on 'a' job skills test! No comparison between the scores or mean scores of the two groups.

In number 2, the researcher uses the same subjects and also measures the same variable but twice. This is a good example of a study where the t test for dependent means can be taken. Same applies in case 3.

If a ship's path is mapped on a coordinate grid, it follows a straight-line path of slope 3 and passes through point (2, 5).
