x^2 = 25

x = -5, 5

Check your work!

(-5)^2 = 25

(5)^2 = 25

Hope this helps! :)

What is a difference of squares that has a factor of x + 8

natulia [17]

A²-b²=(a-b)(a+b)

so if (x+8) is a factor then (x-8) is also a factor

so
(x+8)(x-8)=x²-8²=x²-64

the blank is 64

Which is the distance between the point with the coordinates (-2,3) and the line with the equation 6x-y=-3

harina [27]

Answer:

1.97 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from a point (h,k) to a line $ax+by+c=0$ is given by:

$d=\frac{|ah+bk+c|}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2} }$

The given line is $6x-y=-3$ . or $6x-y+3=0$ .

This implies that: a=6, b=-1 and c=3

The given point is (-2,3)

This implies that: h=-2 and k=3

We substitute into the formula to get:

$d=\frac{|6(-2)+-1(3)+3|}{\sqrt{6^2+(-1)^2} }$

$d=\frac{|-12-3+3|}{\sqrt{36+1} }$

$d=\frac{12}{\sqrt{37} }$

$d=1.97$

Which ordered pairs cause this relation NOT to be a function? Why? {(0, 0.5), (0.5, 1), (3, 1), (1, 6), (3, 2)} A) (0.5, 1) and

Mumz [18]

Answer:

C) (3, 1) and (3, 2); The same x-value has different y-values.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given ordered pairs are:

{(0, 0.5), (0.5, 1), (3, 1), (1, 6), (3, 2)} A) (0.5, 1) and (0, 0.5)}

This relation is not a function because there is an x-value having two different y-values.

This occurred in (3,1) and (3,2).

This will cause a vertical line to intersect the graph of this relation at more than one point. Hence it fails the vertical line test.

The correct answer is C

Suppose that we were going to conduct a study to determine if there is an increased risk of getting lung cancer based on whether

oee [108]

Answer:

Sample relative risk is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Group 1 of smokers: 10 out of 100 get lung cancer.

$\text{P(Lung cancer for smoker)} = \dfrac{10}{100} = \dfrac{1}{10}$

Group 2 of non-smokers: 5 out of 200 get lung cancer

$\text{P(Lung cancer for non-smoker)} = \dfrac{5}{200} = \dfrac{1}{40}$

Sample relative risk:

It is the ratio of probability of an outcome in an exposed group to the probability of an outcome in an unexposed group.

Sample relative risk =

$\dfrac{\text{P(lung cancer for smokers)}}{\text{P(lung cancer for non smokers)}}\\\\=\dfrac{\frac{1}{10}}{\frac{1}{40}} = \dfrac{40}{10} = 4$

Thus, sample relative risk is 4.
