Step-by-step explanation:

the average rate of change of a function f in an interval [x-low, x-high] is

(f(x-high) - f(x-low)) / (x-high - x-low)

the year 2000 means t = 2000-1980 = 20

the year 2015 means t = 2015-1980 = 35

so, we have

(A(35) - A(20)) / (35 - 20)

((-0.6(35)² + 37.2×35 + 243) - (-0.6(20)² + 37.2×20 + 243)) / 15

((-735 + 1302 + 243) - (-240 + 744 + 243)) / 15

(810 - 747) / 15 = 63/15 = 4.2

the average change rate between 2000 and 2015 is 4.2.

that means that the use of nuclear energy in the USA increased by 4.2 billions of kilowatt hours per year during that period.

6. Find d. Please help

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we are going to do is to fill in the other angles that we need to solve this problem. You could find ALL of them but all of them isn't necessary. So looking at the obtuse angle next to the 35 degree angle...we know that those are supplementary so 180 - 35 = the obtuse angle in the small triangle. 180 - 35 = 145. Within the smaller triangle we have now the 145 and the 10, and since, by the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem all the angles have to add up to equal 180, then 180 - (10 + 145) = the 3rd angle, so the third angle is 180 - 155 = 25. Now let's get to the problem. If I were you, I'd draw that out like I did to keep track of these angles cuz I'm going to name them by their degree. In order to find d, we need to first find the distance between d and the right angle. We'll call that x. The reference angle is 35, the side opposite that angle is 12 and the side we are looking for, x, is adjacent to that angle. So we will use the tan ratio to find x:

$tan(35)=\frac{12}{x}$ Isolating x:

$x=\frac{12}{tan(35)}$ so

x = 17.1377 m

Now we have everything we need to find d. We will use 25 degrees as our reference angle, and the side opposite it is 12 and the side adjacent to it is

d + 17.1377, so that is the tan ratio as well:

$tan(25)=\frac{12}{d+17.1377}$ and simplifying a bit:

$d+17.1377=\frac{12}{tan(25)}$ and a bit more:

d + 17.1377 = 25.73408 so

d = 8.59, rounded

One year had the lowest ERA (earned-run average, mean number of runs yielded per nine innings pitched) of any male pitcher at

lord [1]

Answer:

Thomas had the better year relative to their peers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is: One year Thomas had the lowest ERA (earned-run average, mean number of runs yielded per nine innings pitched) of any male pitcher at his school, with an ERA of 3.31. Also, Karla had the lowest ERA of any female pitcher at the school with an ERA of 3.02. For the males, the mean ERA was 4.837 and the standard deviation was 0.541. For the females, the mean ERA was 4.533 and the standard deviation was 0.539. Find their respective z-scores. Which player had the better year relative to their peers, or ? (Note: In general, the lower the ERA, the better the pitcher.)

We are given that for the males, the mean ERA was 4.837 and the standard deviation was 0.541. For the females, the mean ERA was 4.533 and the standard deviation was 0.539.

As, we know that the z-score is calculated by the following formula;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean

$\sigma$ = standard deviation

Now, firstly we will calculate the z score for Thomas;

z-score = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$

= $\frac{3.31-4.837}{0.541}$ = -2.823

{Here, the mean ERA for the males was 4.837 and the standard deviation was 0.541}

Similarly, we will calculate the z score for Karla;

z-score = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$

= $\frac{3.02-4.533}{0.539}$ = -2.807

{Here, the mean ERA for the females was 4.533 and the standard deviation was 0.539}

Now, it is stated in the question that the lower the ERA, the better the pitcher.

So, we can clearly see that Thomas had a lower ERA of z-score as -2.823 < -2.807. This means that Thomas had the better year relative to their peers.

An airplane on autopilot took 5 hours to travel 3 comma 510 kilometers. What is the unit rate for kilometers per hour?

loris [4]

Answer:

702 kilometers per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

3,510 divided by 5 = 702.

Since 5 is the number of hours it took to travel 3,510 kilometers, and we need to find the kilometers per hour, simply divide 3,510 by 5.
