Which transformation occurred?

nikdorinn [45]

The x coordinate remains the same.
The Y coordinate changes from a positive number to a negative number.

This means that the figure is reflected across the X axis because positive Y values are above the X axis and negative Y values are below the X axis.

The answer is D.

How to solve this question

VMariaS [17]

The variance method is as follows.

-Sum the squares of the values in data set, and then divide by the number of values in data set
- From that, subtract the square of the mean (add all values and divide by number of values in the data set)

Our variance is

 $\displaystyle\sigma^2 = \frac{2^2 + 5^2 + m^2}{3} - \left(\frac{2 + 5 + m}{3}\right)^2$

Since variance has to be 14, we set $\sigma^2 = 14$ and solve for m

$14= \frac{4 + 25 + m^2}{3} - \left(\frac{7 + m}{3}\right)^2\ \Rightarrow \\ \\
14 = \frac{29}{3} + \frac{1}{3}m^2 - \frac{1}{9}(7+m)^2 \\ \\
14 = \frac{29}{3}+ \frac{1}{3}m^2 - \frac{1}{9}(49 + 14m + m^2) \\ \\
14 = \frac{29}{3}+ \frac{1}{3}m^2 - \frac{49}{9}- \frac{14}{9}m- \frac{1}{9}m^2 \\ \\
0 = \frac{-88}{9} -\frac{14}{9}m + \frac{2}{9}m^2
$

quadratic formula

$m = \displaystyle\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a} \\
m = \frac{-(-\frac{14}{9}) \pm \sqrt{\left(-\frac{14}{9}\right)^2 - 4(2/9)(-88/9)} }{2(2/9)} \\
m = \frac{\frac{14}{9} \pm \sqrt{ \frac{196}{81} + \frac{704}{81} } }{\frac{4}{9} } \\
m = \frac{\frac{14}{9} \pm \sqrt{ \frac{900}{81} } }{\frac{4}{9} } \\
m = \frac{\frac{14}{9} \pm \sqrt{ \frac{100}{9} } }{\frac{4}{9} } \\
m = \frac{\frac{14}{9} \pm \frac{10}{3} }{\frac{4}{9} } \\
m = 11, -4$

-4 doesnt' work as it is not a positive integer

m = 11

A bee flies 20 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive. The bee stays at the flowerbed for fifteen minutes. Then i

Ksenya-84 [330]

A. The equation to find the distance of the flowerbed from the hive is: $\frac{x}{20}+\frac{x}{12}+900= 1200$ , where x is the distance.

B. The flowerbed is 2250 feet far from the hive.

Explanation

Suppose, the distance of the flowerbed from the hive is $x$ feet.

The bee flies 20 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive and flies directly back to the hive at 12 feet per second.

As, $Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}$

So, the time taken by the bee to reach the flowerbed $= \frac{x}{20}$ seconds and the time taken to fly back to the hive $=\frac{x}{12}$ seconds.

The bee stays at the flowerbed for 15 minutes or (15×60)seconds or 900 seconds and it is away from the hive for a total of 20 minutes or (20×60)seconds or 1200 seconds.

So, the equation will be.......

$\frac{x}{20}+\frac{x}{12}+900= 1200\\ \\ \frac{3x+5x}{60}= 300\\ \\ 8x= 60*300\\ \\ 8x=18000\\ \\ x=\frac{18000}{8}=2250$

Thus, the distance of the flowerbed from the hive is 2250 feet.
