Answer:

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

6 in the first, and 12 in each of the other

That means 6 + 12 + 12 = 30

Since there are three stacks, divide 30 by

3

30/3 = 10

There will be 10 books in each stack

HURRYYYYYYYYY!! What is the equation of the quadratic function with a vertex at (2, 25) and an x-intercept at (7,0)?

tangare [24]

Answer:

$y=-(x-7)(x+3)$

which is none of the choices provided.

Are you sure the question is right or even the choices?

You can even write it as:

$y=-(x+3)(x-7)$ but this is still not a choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of a quadratic is $y=a(x-h)^2+k$ .

This is called vertex form because it gives you the vertex is $(h,k)$ .

We are given that $(h,k)=(2,25)$ which makes our equation:

$y=a(x-2)^2+25$ .

We can find the value of $a$ by plugging in the x-intercept (7,0) for $(x,y)$ into:

$y=a(x-2)^2+25$

$0=a(7-2)^2+25$

$0=a(5)^2+25$

Subtract 25 on both sides:

$-25=a(5)^2$

$-25=a(25)$

Divide both sides by 25:

$\frac{-25}{25}=a$

$-1=a$ .

So the equation for the quadratic is:

$y=-1(x-2)^2+25$

Let's put this into factored form since all the choices are in factored form.

This will require us to multiply the (x-2)(x-2) out:

$y=-1(x-2)(x-2)+25$

$y=-1(x^2-2x-2x+4)+25$

$y=-1(x^2-4x+4)+25$

$y=-x^2+4x-4+25$

$y=-x^2+4x+21$

Factor out -1:

$y=-(x^2-4x-21)$

WE need to find two numbers that multiply to be -21 and add to be -4:

$y=-(x-7)(x+3)$

-12x+ 16 = 100<br> what is the value for x in this equation?

AveGali [126]

Answer: X= -7

Step-by-step explanation: A negative time a negative is a positive so -12x-7 is equal to 84. 84 plus 16 is equal too 100.

When n is small (less than 30), how does the shape of the t distribution compare to the normal distribution?

Anna [14]

When n is small (less than 30), how does the shape of the t distribution compare to the normal distribution then"it is flatter and wider than the normal distribution."

<h3>What is normal distribution?</h3>

The normal distribution explains a symmetrical plot of data around the mean value, with the standard deviation defining the width of the curve. It is represented graphically as "bell curve."

Some key features regarding the normal distribution are-

The normal distribution is officially known as the Gaussian distribution, but the term "normal" was coined after scientific publications in the nineteenth century demonstrated that many natural events emerged to "deviate normally" from the mean.
The naturalist Sir Francis Galton popularized the concept of "normal variability" as the "normal curve" in his 1889 work, Natural Inheritance.
Even though the normal distribution is a crucial statistical concept, the applications in finance are limited because financial phenomena, such as expected stock-market returns, do not fit neatly within a normal distribution.
In fact, prices generally follow a right-skewed log-normal distribution with fatter tails.

As a result, relying as well heavily on the a bell curve when forecasting these events can yield unreliable results.

Find x. Round to the nearest tenth if needed.

alexdok [17]

Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Use that the addition of all internal angles of a triangle must add up to 180, and the fact that the two given triangles are similar:

51 + 65 + 4 x = 180

combine and solve for "x"

116 + 4 x = 180

4 x = 180 - 116

4 x = 64

x = 64 / 4

x = 16
