Step-by-step explanation:
Adalyn drove 12 miles from her home to her school and then drove back. Graph A shows her distance from home during the trip. Graph B will show her distance from the school during the trip. Complete each statement about Graph B.
a. On Graph B, at 0 minutes, the height of the graph will be 12 miles.
b. Then, the graph will decrease linearly until 15 minutes, when Adalyn reaches the school.
Certainly, let's delve a bit deeper into each part of Graph B in relation to Adalyn's journey from home to school and back:
a. Initial Point at 0 Minutes:
On Graph B, the vertical axis represents the distance from the school, while the horizontal axis represents time. At the start of her journey (0 minutes), Adalyn is at her home, which is 12 miles from the school. This is the farthest point from the school she will be during her trip. Therefore, the height of Graph B at 0 minutes must be the full distance to the school, which is 12 miles. This is the starting point for the graph on the vertical axis.
b. Graph Behavior from 0 to 15 Minutes:
As time progresses from 0 to 15 minutes, Adalyn is driving towards the school, getting closer every minute. On the graph, this is represented by a decreasing line, since the vertical distance from any point on the line to the horizontal axis represents her distance from the school, which is getting smaller. The rate of decrease is constant because we're assuming she's driving at a steady pace.
At exactly 15 minutes, Adalyn reaches the school. Since she is now at the school, her distance from it is 0 miles. On Graph B, this is represented by the graph touching the horizontal axis. At this point, the height of the graph is 0 miles, indicating that there is no distance between Adalyn and the school.
After 15 minutes, the graph would stay at 0 miles (the line would run along the horizontal axis) until she begins her journey back home. Once she starts the return trip, the graph would begin to increase linearly from 0, reflecting her increasing distance from the school as she drives back home.
If we were to continue completing Graph B based on Graph A, after the 15-minute mark, we'd see a flat line at 0 miles until 60 minutes when Adalyn starts her journey back home, at which point the line would ascend back to 12 miles by 75 minutes, mirroring the initial descent but in the opposite direction.
The word which completes the statement are,
12 miles,
Steady,
Decrease
Complete each statement about Graph B.
On graph B, at 0 minutes, the height of the graph will be 12 miles.
Then, the graph will remain steady until 15 minutes, the height of graph B will be decreased.
Therefore, graph B is the reverse of graph A which is the distance from the school to her home.

An artist is creating a mosaic that cannot be larger than the space allotted which is 4 feet tall and 6 feet wide. The mosaic must be at least 3 feet tall and 5 feet wide. The tiles in the mosaic have words written on them and the artist wants the words to all be horizontal in the final mosaic. The word tiles come in two sizes: The smaller tiles are 4 inches tall and 4 inches wide, while the large tiles are 6 inches tall and 12 inches wide. If the small tiles cost $3.50 each and the larger tiles cost $4.50 each, how many of each should be used to minimize the cost? What is the minimum cost?
Calculate the cost per square foot for each size tile.
1 square foot = 144 square inches.
Small tile = 4 x 4 = 16 square inches.
16 / 144 = 1/9 square foot.
Cost per square foot = 3.50 / 1/9 = $31.50 per square foot.
Large tile = 6 x 12 = 72 square inches.
72 / 144 = 1/2 square foot.
Cost per square foot = 4.50 / 1/2 = $9 per square foot.
The minimum area of the mosaic is 3 feet x 5 feet = 15 square feet.
The large tiles are cheaper per square foot.
Total tiles needed = 15 sq. ft. / 1/2 sq. ft = 30 tiles.
30 tiles x 4.50 each = $135

Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
x³ + y = 0 → (1)
11x² - y = 0 → (2)
Add (1) and (2) term by term to eliminate the term in y
x³ + 11x² = 0 ← factor out x² from each term
x²(x + 11) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x² = 0 ⇒ x = 0
x + 11 = 0 ⇒ x = - 11
Substitute these values into (1) for corresponding values of y
(1) y = - x³
x = 0 ⇒ y = 0 ⇒ (0, 0) is a solution
x = - 11 ⇒ y = - (- 11)³ = 1331 ⇒ (- 11, 1331) is a solution

What is the factored form of 8x24-27y6
Answer:
(2x8 - 3y2) • (4x16 + 6x8y2 + 9y4)
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we must factor the following expression:
[tex]8x^{24} -27y ^ 6[/tex]
So:
We rewrite [tex]8x^{24}\ as\ (2x ^ 8) ^ 3[/tex]
We rewrite[tex]27y ^ 6\ as\ (3y ^ 2) ^ 3[/tex]
(2x ^ 8) ^ 3- (3y ^ 2) ^ 3
Since both terms are perfect cubes, factor using the cube difference formula:
[tex]a ^ 3-b ^ 3 = (a-b) (a ^ 2 + ab + b ^ 2)[/tex]
Where:
[tex]a = 2x ^ 8\\b = 3y ^ 2[/tex]
Rewriting:
[tex](2x ^ 8-3y ^ 2) ((2x ^ 8) ^ 2 + (2x ^ 8) (3y ^ 2) + (3y ^ 2) ^ 2) =\\(2x ^ 8-3y ^ 2) (4x ^{16} + 6x ^ 8y ^ 2 + 9y ^ 4)[/tex]

So, we have
[tex]3x(x^2+3x-4)=0 \iff 3x=0\lor x^2+3x-4=0[/tex]
We easily have
[tex]3x=0\iff x=0[/tex]
So, one solution is x=0.
The other solutions depend on the quadratic equation:
[tex]x^2+3x-4=0 \iff x=-4 \lor x=1[/tex]
So, the solutions are [tex]x=-4,\ 0,\ 1[/tex]

A storage compartment for a gym locker room can hold up to 7 folded towels. There are 22 compartements for towels. Katie has 150 towels to fold and put away. How many of the compartments will be filled? How many towels will be in a compartment that is not completely filled.
The 21 compartments will be fully filled and the last compartment will contain 3 towels.
The number of compartments that will be filled = total number of towels/ capacity of one compartment.
So we have 150 towels / 7 towels per compartment ≈ 21.43.
Since we can't have a fraction of a compartment, this means that 21 compartments will be fully filled.
The remaining towels can be found = the total number of towels - the number of towels that fit into the full compartments
Total no. of towels that fit into all compartments = 21 compartments × 7 towels each = 147 towels.
Therefore, we have 150 - 147 = 3 towels left, which will be in the compartment that is not completely filled.
There are 21 compartments filled with towels, and in the 22nd compartment, there will be 3 towels.
Number of compartments filled: 21 compartments
Towels in a partially filled compartment: 6 towels
To calculate the number of compartments filled, we need to divide the total number of towels by the maximum number of towels each compartment can hold:
[tex]\( \text{Number of compartments filled} = \frac{\text{Total number of towels}}{\text{Maximum towels per compartment}} \)[/tex]
[tex]\( \text{Number of compartments filled} = \frac{150}{7} = 21.4285 \)[/tex]
Since we can't have a fraction of a compartment, we round down to the nearest whole number, which is 21.
To find out how many towels will be in a compartment that is not completely filled, we subtract the total number of towels already placed in filled compartments from the total number of towels:
[tex]\( \text{Remaining towels} = \text{Total number of towels} - (\text{Number of compartments filled} \times \text{Maximum towels per compartment}) \)[/tex]
[tex]\( \text{Remaining towels} = 150 - (21 \times 7) = 150 - 147 = 3 \)[/tex]
So, there are 21 compartments filled with towels, and in the 22nd compartment, there will be 3 towels.

[tex]\bf cot(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{-2}}{\stackrel{opposite}{1}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the hypotenuse} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2} \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ c=\sqrt{(-2)^2+1^2}\implies c=\sqrt{5} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ csc(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{\sqrt{5}}}{\stackrel{opposite}{1}}\implies csc(\theta )=\sqrt{5}[/tex]
The exact value of csc theta when the value of cot theta is -2 and the terminal side of theta lies in quadrant II (2) is √(5).
What is the terminal side of an angle?The terminal side of an angle is the rotated side of the initial side around a point to form an angle. This rotation can be clockwise or counter clock wise.
The exact value of csc theta has to be found out. The value of cot theta is,
cot θ = -2
cot θ =-2/1.
By the property of right angle triangle, the ratio of adjacent side to the opposite side is equal to the cot theta. Thus,
Adjacent side= -2
Opposite side= 1
The value of hypotenuse side is equal to the square root of the sum of the square of adjacent side and opposite side. Thus,
Hypotenuse side=√((-2)²+1²)
Hypotenuse side=√(5)
By the property of right angle triangle, the ratio of hypotenuse side to the opposite side is equal to the coses theta. Thus,
coses θ =√(5)/1
coses θ =√(5)
Hence, the exact value of csc theta when the value of cot theta is -2 and the terminal side of theta lies in quadrant II (2) is √(5).

A board game uses the deck of 20 cards shown to the right. two cards are selected at random from this deck. calculate the probability that the first card selected has a red bird and the second card selected has a lion, both with and without replacement.
The probability with replacement is [tex]= 1 \div 16[/tex]
The probability without replacement is [tex]= 5 \div 16[/tex]
Calculation of probability with or without replacement:(a)
With replacement
Since cards should be replaced, 5 lions or 5 legs
So, the probability is
[tex]= 5\div 20 \times 5\div 20\\\\= 1 \div 16[/tex]
(b)
Without replacement
Since cards should not be put back, for the second draw only 19 cards are left

Learn more about the card here: https://brainly.com/question/24754151
To calculate probability with and without replacements, we adjust the number of total outcomes depending on whether the card is replaced or not after each draw. For this specific scenario, when there is no replacement, the probability of drawing a red bird and then a lion is (5/20)*(5/19), while with replacement it is (5/20)*(5/20).
Explanation:Your question involves the concepts of probability and specifically the difference between sampling with and without replacement. Let's assume, for the sake of this example, that there are 5 red bird cards and 5 lion cards in the deck of 20 cards.
1. Sampling without replacement: After the first card (a red bird) is taken out, it is not added back into the deck. So the deck now only has 19 cards. So, the probability of drawing a red bird card first is 5/20 or 1/4. Then, the probability of drawing a lion card second is 5/19.
2. Sampling with replacement: After the first card (a red bird) is pulled out, it is replaced back into the deck. So the deck continues to have 20 cards. So, the probability of drawing a red bird first is still 5/20 or 1/4 and the probability of drawing a lion card second is still 5/20 or 1/4.

Peter knows that pentagon DEFGH has 5 congruent sides. How can he determine if the pentagon,has 5 congruent angles without measuring?
To determine if pentagon DEFGH has 5 congruent angles, Peter needs to consider if it is a regular pentagon. Regular pentagons have 5 congruent sides and angles. In such pentagons, each angle measures 108°.
Explanation:Peter can determine if the pentagon has 5 congruent angles by checking if it is a regular pentagon. A regular pentagon is defined as having all its sides and angles equal. If the pentagon DEFGH is regular, it will have 5 congruent sides and 5 congruent angles.
The Pythagorean theorem would apply if DEFGH were a triangle, where D and L are sides with hypotenuse s. For pentagons, the theorem is not applicable. It's important to remember that the angles of any pentagon add up to 540°. So, in a regular pentagon, each angle measures 108° because 540°/5=108°.

Which characteristic is correct for the function f(x) = −2x^3 + 3x^2 ?
A. even
B. neither even nor odd
C. odd
D.both even and odd
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The function is cubic (the highest power is 3), so it can't be even. It's either odd or neither.
We can either graph the function, or we can test that it's symmetrical about the origin by seeing if f(x) = -f(-x).
f(x) = -2x³ + 3x²
f(-x) = -2(-x)³ + 3(-x)²
f(-x) = 2x³ + 3x²
f(x) ≠ -f(-x), so the function is neither even nor odd.

So, the percent error is about 13.3%. This indicates that the measured value is approximately 13.3% higher than the actual value.
The percent error, rounded to the nearest tenth, is about 13.3%.
To find the percent error, you can use the following formula:
[tex]\[\text{Percent Error} = \frac{{|\text{Estimated Value} - \text{Actual Value}|}}{{\text{Actual Value}}} \times 100.\][/tex]
Here, the estimated value is 68 marbles, and the actual value is 60 marbles.
Calculate the absolute error :
[tex]\[ |\text{68 - 60}| = 8. \][/tex]
Calculate the relative error :
[tex]\[ \frac{{8}}{{60}}. \][/tex]
Convert to percentage :
[tex]\[ \frac{{8}}{{60}} \times 100 = 13.333. \][/tex]
Round to the nearest tenth :
[tex]\[ \approx 13.3.[/tex]
Thus, the percent error, rounded to the nearest tenth, is about 13.3%.
