<span>The first two cuts can intersect at only 1 pt regardless of where they are placed. So 4 pieces there. The last cut can only intersect each other cut a 1 pt, regardless of placement. As long as the intersection is different than the first intersection, then you will have 7 pieces.</span>

Solve: -4x-8x+17=23<br> check solution
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

x = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation, we first need to combine like terms:

-12x+17=23

Simplify further:

-12x=6

Divide by -12 on both sides to get:

x = -\frac{1}{2}

To check  the solution, plug x back into the original equation and check if we get the correct answer:

-4(-\frac{1}{2})-8(-\frac{1}{2})+17=23

2+4+17= 23

23=23

Thus, it checks out and our answer is correct.

Classify each polynomial by degree and number of terms (lesson 17.1) z^2-12
zalisa [80]

Answer:

The degree is "2" and the number of term is "2(binomial)"

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression z^2-12

Largest sum of any term is known as the degree.

Now simplify as follows,

z^2-12

So, the degree is 2 because the largest sum of power is known as degree

And the number of terms is two (2) it means it is binomial.

∵ The degree is "2" and the number of term is "2(binomial)"

An intelligence test that has a maximum completion time of 45 minutes was recently administered to a group of 9 people. Their re
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

a) \bar X=39.9

b) Median =40

c) Bimodal distribution 40,45 with a frequency of 2 for each one

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

The statistical mean refers "to the mean or average that is used to derive the central tendency of the data in question. It is determined by adding all the data points in a population and then dividing the total by the number of points". And is defined:

\bar X =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{n}

And for this case if we apply this formula we got:

\bar X =\frac{45+40+42+39+44+40+45+33+21}{9}=39.9

Part b

The median is a "measure of central tendency. To find the median, we arrange the observations in order from smallest to largest value. And we have two possible cases:

1) If there is an odd number of observations, the median is the middle value. 2) If there is an even number of observations, the median is the average of the two middle values."

So if we order the dataset we got:

31,33,39,40,40,42,44,45,45

Since we have an odd number of observation n=9, the median would be just the middle value on position 5 and for this case Median =40

Part c

The mode of a set of data values is the value that appears most often. As a set of data can have more than one mode, the mode does not necessarily indicate the centre of a data set.

For this case we have a bimodal distribution and the corresponding values are 40 and 45 with a frequency of 2 for each one.

The tallest tree in the world is 379 feet tall. How tall will each of the trees be in the year 2030 if their models continue? Is
tresset_1 [31]

Models are patterns that are used to predict measurements and populations

<h3>How to model the tree</h3>

The question is incomplete, as the model and the dataset to model that growth of the tree are not given.

So, I will give a general explanation

If the model of the tree follows a linear model (e.g y = 2x + 3), then the model is not reasonable.

This is so because, population and growth cannot be measured by a linear model

However, if the growth of the trees follow an exponential model (e.g y = 2(3)^x), then the model is reasonable
