A student performed an experiment to determine the effect of acid rain on plant growth. The student divided 80 seeds of a fast-g

rowing plant species into four groups of 20 seeds each. The four groups of seeds were then planted in soil. After all of the seeds germinated in the same growing conditions, they were watered once a day with simulated rainwater that had different levels of acidity. The acidity of the four different watering solutions was as follows:
neutral water, 0.1%, 1.0%, and 10%. The average height of the plants in each group was measured over a two-week period.

Complete the following items using the information above

a. Identify the independent variable in the experiment.
b. Describe the control in the experiment.
c. Based on the described experiment, state a valid hypothesis for the experiment.
d. The experiment was repeated and each soil had the addition of crushed limestone. Describe how the modification of the study would affect the results.

Answer:

a) The independent variable is the variable which is being taken as the source of an observation. It is the variable which is unaffected (changed) by other factors in the experiment

Here the independent variable is the acidity (concentrations) of the watering solutions

b, The control in the experiment is the plant group which are not administered the treatment of the experiment, such that they are kept the same through out to aid in validation of the correlation between the dependent and the independent variables

The control in the experiment are the group of 20 plants that received neutral water

c. A valid hypothesis is that there is no difference in the level of growth of a plant grown in acid rain and one grown with natural water

d. Limestone is composed of calcium carbonate, which is an alkaline that dissolves in water to form a basic solution that neutralizes the effect of the added acid such that it will invalidate the correlation of the level of plant growth with exposure to acid rain

In each of the equations or inequalities below, find all the integer values of x that make the equation or the pair of inequalit
PIT_PIT [208]
So in these problems, we're dealing with absolute value. Absolute value is the real amount of the number, or it's real place value without a negative sign. 
Part A: if the absolute value of X was 17, then X could equal -17 or 17.
Part B: |x+9|=15. We know that 6+9=15, so X could equal -6 or 6. 
Part C: |x-10| ≤ 13. We know that 23-10 is 13. So 23 would be the greatest value of X. Then, for the smallest value of X, if we insert -3 in the equation to take the place of the variable, we get |-3-10|=13. So -3 would be the smallest value of the equation. X≤ 23 and X≥-3.

5. If we represent the length of a line by a,
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:Let a be the length of line

from question we know that

a+3 is another line

Here

a+(a+3)=15. ( Given in question )

2a = 15 -3

2a=12

a=12/2

a=6

Here a and a +3 are the length of the line

Finally ,6 and 9 are the lengths

The shaded prism below is created from the rectangular box as shown. Points A, B, and C are midpoints of their respective edges.
spayn [35]

Answer:

The volume of the prism is 1/4 of the volume of the rectangular box.

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure alluding to the exercise is required, according to the description I will attach the one that must be to be able to solve the exercise.

The first thing is that the cross sections of the prism are triangles and in addition those triangles are congruent to each other with areas equal to the area of ​​the base triangle.

By congruence we can say that the triangle has 1/4 of the area of ​​the base rectangle. We can affirm that the height of the prism is equal to the height of the rectangular box.

Now, the Cavalieri principle states that if two solids have the same height and their cross-sectional areas taken parallel and at equal distances from their bases are always equal, then they have the same volume.

now in this case the cross-sectional areas (parallel to the base) of the prism and the cross-sectional areas (parallel to the base) of the cuboid with a height equal to that of the rectangular box and the length, width of half of the sizes of the rectangular box are always the same.

Which means that the volume of the parallelepiped is 1/4 the volume of the rectangular box and thanks to this we can say that the volume of the prism is 1/4 of the volume of the rectangular box.

Find the value of unknown angles.<br>Х<br>50​
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

x  = 70^o

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for triangle

Required

Find x

To solve for x, we make use of:

x + 50^o + 60^o = 180^o --- angles in a triangle

x + 110^o = 180^o

Collect like terms

x  = 180^o-110^o

x  = 70^o
