Identify the monomial function described as odd or even, and indicate whether a is positive or negative.

Answer:

  D.  D: 0 ≤ b ≤ 10; R: 0 ≤ W(b) ≤ 120

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells you Owen can build up to 10 birdhouses, and that b represents that number. Then 0 ≤ b ≤ 10 is the domain described by the problem statement.

It also tells you that W(b) = 12b, so filling in values from 0 to 10 gives a range from 0 to 120: 0 ≤ W(b) ≤ 120.

These observations match choice D.

The domain and range for the function W(b) = 12b are D: 0 ≤ b ≤ 10 and R: 0 ≤ W(b) ≤ 120 respectively. The option D is correct.

The function W(b) = 12b represents the total amount of wood needed to build b birdhouses, where each birdhouse requires 12 square feet of wood. Since Owen can build up to 10 birdhouses, the domain of the function (which represents the number of birdhouses Owen can build) is 0 ≤ b ≤ 10.

For the range of the function, which represents the total amount of wood in square feet, if Owen builds no birdhouses (b = 0) he needs no wood (0 square feet), and if he builds the maximum of 10 birdhouses (b = 10), he would need 120 square feet of wood which is calculated as W(10) = 12 * 10. Therefore, the range of his function would be 0 ≤ W(b) ≤ 120. The appropriate domain and range for the function are D: 0 ≤ b ≤ 10 and R: 0 ≤ W(b) ≤ 120, which corresponds to option D.

1. Obviously, the figure is rotated CCW by 90°. If the center of rotation were the center of the figure, the image would be in the same quadrant as the pre-image. It is in the quadrant located 90° CCW from the original, so the center of rotation must not be the center of the image. That leaves one viable answer choice.

Answer:

Compatible width of rectangular banquet hall could be 90 feet approximately.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Area of a rectangular banquet hall = 7400 square feet

Length of rectangular banquet hall = 82 feet

We need to calculate width of the rectangular banquet hall.

Now Area of rectangle is equal to length times width.

Framing in equation form we get;

[tex]Area\ of \ Rectangle= length \times width[/tex]

Substituting the given values we get;

[tex]82 \times width = 7400\\\\width = \frac{7400}{82} = 90.2439[/tex]

Now by definition of Compatible numbers which state that:

"Compatible numbers are the numbers that are easy to add, subtract, multiply, or divide mentally.  Compatible numbers are close in value to the actual numbers that make estimating the answer and computing problems easier."

Now By Using width as 90 feet and length as 82 feet we get area as 7380 sq ft. which is closet to actual area which is 7400 sq ft.

Hence we can say compatible width could be 90 feet approximately.

Answer:

∠5 = 55°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since l and m are parallel lines, then ∠5 and ∠1 are same- side interior angles and are supplementary, thus

∠1 + ∠5 = 180°, that is

125° + ∠5 = 180° ( subtract 125° from both sides )

∠5 = 55°

Answer:

55 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

m < 2 = 180 - 125 = 55 degrees (adjacent angles).

m < 5 = m < 2 (alternate angles).

Therefore m < 5 = m < 2  = 55 degrees.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

No, she is not correct as her speed is 0.25 miles per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ratio of distance  to time taken is 15 : 60.

Distance is in miles and length of time is in minutes.

We know that, average speed is given as the ratio of the distance traveled and the length of the time taken.

So, the ratio above is nothing but the average speed of Reese for cycling.

Thus, average speed of Reese is given as:

[tex]\textrm{Average speed}=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\\\\textrm{Average speed}=\frac{15}{60}\ miles\ per\ min\\\\\textrm{Average speed}=\frac{1}{4} = 0.25\ miles\ per\ min[/tex]

Therefore, the average speed of Reese is 0.25 miles per minute which is not equal to the one mentioned by Reese as 4 miles per minute.

So, Reese conclusion of her average speed is incorrect. It's not 4 but the reciprocal of 4 which is 0.25 miles per minute.

Answer:

[tex]z=\frac{0.0973 -0.1}{\sqrt{\frac{0.1(1-0.1)}{298}}}=-0.155[/tex]  

[tex]p_v =2*P(Z<-0.155)=0.877[/tex]  

And we can use excel to find the p value like this: "=2*NORM.DIST(-0.155;0;1;TRUE)"

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] we have [tex]p_v>\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of interest is not significantly different from 0.1 .  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=298 represent the random sample taken

X=29 represent the events claimed

[tex]\hat p=\frac{29}{298}=0.0973[/tex] estimated proportion

[tex]p_o=0.1[/tex] is the value that we want to test

[tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the proportion is 0.1 or no.:  

Null hypothesis:[tex]p=0.1[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p \neq 0.1[/tex]  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

[tex]z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}[/tex] (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion [tex]\hat p[/tex] is significantly different from a hypothesized value [tex]p_o[/tex].

3) Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

[tex]z=\frac{0.0973 -0.1}{\sqrt{\frac{0.1(1-0.1)}{298}}}=-0.155[/tex]  

4) Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:  

[tex]p_v =2*P(Z<-0.155)=0.877[/tex]  

And we can use excel to find the p value like this: "=2*NORM.DIST(-0.155;0;1;TRUE)"

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] we have [tex]p_v>\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of interest is not significantly different from 0.1 .  

We can do the test also in R with the following code:

> prop.test(29,298,p=0.1,alternative = c("two.sided"),conf.level = 1-0.05,correct = FALSE)

Answer:

Simon's Age = 47

Marcie's Age = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is to find Simon's age and Marcie's age.

Let Simon's age be x and Marcie's age be y

Simon is 3 years more than 4 times marcie, so we can write:

x = 4y + 3

Also,

Sum of their ages is 58, so we can write:

x + y = 58

or x = 58 - y

Now, we substitute this into 1st equation and solve for y first:

[tex]x = 4y + 3\\58-y = 4y + 3\\58-3=4y+y\\55=5y\\y=\frac{55}{5}\\y=11[/tex]

We know

x = 58 - y

so,

x = 58 - 11

x = 47

So,

Simon's Age = 47

Marcie's Age = 11

Answer:

The total number of the games that the eagles played is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The eagles soccer team win 40% of the games

Number games won last year = 12

To Find:

Total number of the games that the eagles played = ?

Solution:

Let the total number of games eagles played be X

Then

according to the question,

40% of X = 12

[tex]\frac{40}{100} \times X  = 12[/tex]

[tex]X = 12 \times \frac{100}{40}[/tex]

[tex]X = \frac{1200}{40}[/tex]

X = 30

The Eagles played a total of 30 games last year.

To find the total number of games that the Eagles played last year, we can set up a proportion using the information given. Since the Eagles won 40% of their games, we can say that 40% is equal to 12 games. Let x be the total number of games played. The proportion would be: 40/100 = 12/x. Cross multiplying gives us 40x = 1200. Dividing both sides by 40, we find that x = 30. Therefore, the Eagles played a total of 30 games last year.

New dimensions of the floor is approximately 301.25 ft by 181.25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. The complete question should be:

Manufacture wants to enlarger it's floor area 1.5 times that of the current facility. The current facility is 260 ft by 140 ft. The manufacture wants to increase each dimension the same amount. Write the dimensions of the new floor.

Given:

Length of floor = 260 ft

Width of floor = 140 ft

The floor area is increased 1.5 times.

To find the new dimensions of the floor.

Solution:

Original area of the floor = [tex]length\times width= 260\times 140=36400\ ft^2[/tex]

New area = [tex]1.5\times Original\ Area = 1.5\times 36,400=54,600\ ft^2[/tex]

Let the length and width be increased by [tex]x[/tex] ft.

Thus, new length = [tex](260+x)\ ft[/tex]

New width = [tex](140+x)\ ft[/tex]

Area of the new floor can be given as:

⇒ [tex]new\ length\times new\ width[/tex]

⇒ [tex](260+x)(140+x)[/tex]

Multiplying using distribution.

⇒ [tex]x^2+260x+140x+36400[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x^2+400x+36400[/tex]

Thus we can equate this with new area to get the equation to find [tex]x[/tex]

[tex]x^2+400x+36400=54600[/tex]

subtracting both sides by 54600.

[tex]x^2+400x+36400-54600=54600-54600[/tex]

[tex]x^2+400x+18200=0[/tex]

Using quadratic formula:

For a quadratic equation [tex]ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

For the equation [tex]x^2+400x-18200=0[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-400\pm\sqrt{(400)^2-4(1)(-18200)}}{2(1)}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-400\pm\sqrt{232800)}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-400\pm482.49}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-400+482.49}{2} \ and\ x= \frac{-400-482.49}{2}[/tex]

∴ [tex]x\approx 41.25 \ and\ x\approx-441.25[/tex]

Since length is being increased, so we take [tex]x\approx41.25[/tex]

New dimensions are:

New length [tex]\approx 260\ ft + 41.25\ ft =301.25\ ft[/tex]

New width [tex]\approx 140\ ft + 41.25\ ft =181.25\ ft[/tex]

Answer: On the 29th day

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this problem, no lilypad dies and the lilypads always reproduce, so we can apply the following reasoning.

On the first day there is only 1 lilypad in the pond. On the second day, the lilypad from the first reproduces, so there are 2 lilypads. On day 3, the 2 lilypads from the second day reproduce, so there are 2×2=4 lilypads. Similarly, on day 4 there are 8 lilypads. Following this pattern, on day 30 there are 2×N lilypads, where N is the number of lilypads on day 29.

The pond is full on the 30th day, when there are 2×N lilypads, so it is half-full when it has N lilypads, that is, on the 29th day. Actually, there are [tex]2^{30} [/tex] lilypads on the 30th, and [tex]2^{29}[/tex] lilypads on the 29th. This can be deduced multiplying succesively by 2.  

Answer:

Ratio of Quentin new income to Sam new income is [tex]\frac{11}{12}[/tex]

So option (a) will be correct option

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Rex income is 100

Then Paul income is 40 % less than Rex income 100 - 100×0.4 = 100-40 = 60

And Quentin's income is 20 % less than Paul income

So Quentin's income  is 60 - 60×0.2 = 60-12 = 48

Sam income is 40% less than Paul income

So Sam income = 60 - 60×0.4 = 60 - 24 = 36

Now Rex give 60% income Sam

So Sam new income = 36 + 100×0.6 = 60+36 = 96

And Rex give 40% of his income to Quentin's

So Quentin's  new income = 48 + 100×0.4 = 40+48 = 88

Now ratio of  Quentin's  new income to the Sam new income [tex]=\frac{88}{96}=\frac{11}{12}[/tex]

  TS = 4 . . . . . take the square root

Now, QT = QS -TS = 15 -4 = 11, so ...

The centroid is the average of the coordinates of the three vertices. If you know two vertices (A and B) and the centroid (Q), then the third vertex (C) is ...

  C = 3Q -A -B

It has only one possible location.

Given the coordinates of two vertices and the centroid, the third vertex can be located by solving a system of linear equations derived from the centroid's coordinates. This results in only one possible location for the third vertex.

To find the number of possible locations for the third vertex of a triangle given two vertices and the centroid, we need to use the properties of the centroid. The centroid of a triangle is the point where the three medians intersect and it is located 1/3 of the way from each side towards the opposite vertex.

If we denote the vertices of the triangle as (x1, y1), (x2, y2), and (x3, y3), and the centroid as (Gx, Gy), the coordinates of the centroid can be calculated as:

Gx = (x1 + x2 + x3) / 3

Gy = (y1 + y2 + y3) / 3

Since we know the coordinates of the centroid (Gx, Gy) and two vertices (x1, y1), (x2, y2), we can set up the following system of equations:

Solving these equations for x3 and y3 gives:

x3 = 3Gx - x1 - x2

y3 = 3Gy - y1 - y2

Therefore, there is only one possible location for the third vertex given the two vertices and the centroid.

Answer:

0.784

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that you are  analyzing the allele frequencies for fur color in a population of squirrels where black fur is dominant to red fur.

As part of your research, you collect the following data:

Total individuals: 1,000

Red fur individuals: 216

So black fur individuals = [tex]1000-216\\=784[/tex]

p2 = proportion of black fur individuals to total individuals

= [tex]\frac{784}{1000} \\=0.784[/tex]

Final answer:

The value of p2 in the population of squirrels is calculated using the homozygous recessive genotype for red fur (q2), which is found to be 0.216. We find q by taking the square root of q2 and then calculate p as 1 - q. The value of p2 is then p squared, resulting in approximately 0.286.

Explanation:

To determine the value of p2 in the population of squirrels for the trait of fur color, we first need to understand that red fur individuals represent the homozygous recessive genotype, which is indicated by q2 in Hardy-Weinberg equations. Since the total number of red fur individuals is given as 216 out of 1,000, we can calculate q2 by dividing the number of red fur individuals by the total number of individuals, which is 216/1000 = 0.216. To find the value of q, we need to take the square root of q2, so q = sqrt(0.216). Then, according to the Hardy-Weinberg principle, we know p + q = 1. Thus, we can calculate p by subtracting q from 1. Finally, to find p2, we just square the value of p.

The calculations are as follows:

Thus, the value of p2 in this population is approximately 0.286.

Answer:

47.75 %

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a very well known issue that in Standard Normal Distribution  porcentages of all values fall according to:

μ  +   σ       will contain a 68.3 %

μ   +  2σ    will contain  a  95.5 %

μ  +  3σ      will contain  a  99.7 %

However it is extremely  importan to understand that the quantities above mentioned are distributed simmetrically at both sides of the mean, that is,  the intervals are:

[  μ - 0,5σ ;  μ  + 0,5σ ]

[  μ -   1σ ;  μ  +      1σ ]

[  μ -   1.5σ ;  μ  +   1.5σ ]

So we have to take that fact into account when applying the empirical rule. Then

With   mean    μ  =  47       and  σ = 10   is equal to say

values between    47    and     57    (  μ  +   σ  )  we are talking about the second interval, but just half of it.

Then the  approximate porcentage of light-bulb replacement requests is

95.5 /2   =  47.75 %

Answer:

125%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this kind of question, we could choose any arbitrary value for the length of the side of the square.

Let’s say the square is 10m in length, a 50% increase in the length means we add 5 to the original length making the new length to be 15m.

The area of a square is L^2

The former area is 10 * 10 = 100 while the new area is 15 * 15 = 225

The percentage increase is calculated as follows:

We simply subtract the old from the new to yield 225 - 100 = 125

The percentage increase would now be :

125/100 * 100 = 125%

In this question, you're solving for d.

Solve for d:

5(-6 - 3d) = 3(8+7d)

Use the distributive property:

-30 - 15d = 3(8+7d)

-30 - 15d = 24 + 21d

Add 30 to both sides:

-15d = 54 + 21d

Subtract 21d from both sides

-36d = 54

Divide both sides by -36

d = -3/2

Answer:

d = -3/2 or -1.5

Answer:

d = -1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

5 (- 6 - 3d) = 3 (8 + 7d)

- 30 - 15d = 24 + 21d

- 15d - 21d = 24 + 30

- 36d = 54

- d = 54/36

- d = 1.5

d = -1.5

Answer:

2.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = rate * time

One train travels at a rate of 70 mph for t hours.  This means that the distance it travels is 70t.

The other train travels at a rate of 90 mph for t hours.  This means that the distance it travels is 90t.  

The total distance they cover together is equal to 384 miles; therefore,

70t + 90t = 384 and

160t = 384 so

t = 2.4 hours

Answer:

C. 28 = (2x - 1)(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a rectangular swimming pool.

Width of swimming pool is x  

Length is  one less than twice the width

Area of the swimming pool is  28 sq ft.

To Find : Equation could be used to model the area of the swimming pool.

Solution:  

Since we are given that Length is one less than twice the width.

And width is x (given)

So, length = 2x-1

Area of the swimming pool is  28 sq ft.

Now ,

Formula of area of rectangle : Length*Width

⇒28= (2x-1)(x)

So,  equation used to model the area of the swimming pool: 28= (2x-1)(x)

Hence Option c is correct.

Answer:

28=(2x-1)(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The swimming pool is rectangular in shape.

Hence the area of it is given by:

l * w

where l = length of the rectangular swimming pool

          w = width of the rectangular swimming pool

In this question it is given:

width = w = x

length = l = 2x - 1

Area = 28 sq.ft

Hence:

Area = l * w = (2x-1)(x)

28 = (2x-1)(x)
