The school nurse took care of five students on Monday and four of the five students had a cough. The school nurse determined that 80% of the students in her school were coming down with colds. Which of the following would best describe why her conclusion was invalid?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It is not valid because she only saw 5 students and that's not a large enough sample for the whole school.

Step-by-step explanation:

While 4/5 IS 80%, the nurse assumed that 80% of ALL of the students in the school were coming down with colds. This is not true since only 4 students had colds. If she were specific and said that 4/5 students who visited her on Monday were 80% coming down with colds, she'd be right. But she isn't since she's assuming it's 80% of the whole school's population of students.

The designer sketched a model of the pond. The model drawing had a circumference of 24 inches. What is the AREA of the model she drew? Show your work. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

Area of model pond = 45.6 inch² (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Circumference of circular pond = 24 inches

Find:

Area of model pond

Computation:

Circumference of circle = 2πr

Circumference of circular pond = 2πr

24 = 2[22/7][r]

Radius r = [24 x 7] / [2 x 22]

Radius r = 3.81 inch (Approx.)

Area of circle = πr²

Area of model pond = πr²

Area of model pond = (22/7)(3.81)²

Area of model pond = [3.1428][14.5161]

Area of model pond = 45.6 inch² (Approx.)

Write the rule that defines the function represented by the table

Answers

Answer:

y = 2 * 4^x

Step-by-step explanation:

We could define a wide variety of rules!

It turns out that any set of n (x, y) pairs can be modeled by a singular polynomial of degree (n-1) or less, and by infinitely many polynomials of degree n or more! And we're only talking polynomials!

Let's input it into a polynomial interpolation calculator:

[tex](27 x^4)/4 - (63 x^3)/2 + (225 x^2)/4 - (51 x)/2 + 2[/tex]

Well I don't love this.

Let's try to actually look for patterns. We see that the function is rapidly increasing. More and more, actually. Let's look for the ratios of each next y

8/2 = 4

32/8 = 4

128/32 = 4

512/128 = 4

BINGO!

So we can define the rule as:

y = 2 * 4^x

Simplify the expression:(2x-3y)^2/(3y-2x)^2 Ava simplified the expression and said that the value is -1. (2x-3y)^2/(3y-2x)^2 (2x-3y)^2/-(2x-3y)^2 and then she has both of them crossed out (2x-3y)^2/-1(2x=3y)^2 =-1 Is Ava's solution correct? If not, find and explain her mistake. Give the correct solution.

Answers

Answer:

Ava is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\frac{(2x - 3y)^2}{(3y - 2x)^2}[/tex]

[tex]Ava: \frac{(2x - 3y)^2}{(3y - 2x)^2} = -1[/tex]

Required

Determine if Ava is correct or not

Ava's solution is incorrect and the proof is as follows;

[tex]\frac{(2x - 3y)^2}{(3y - 2x)^2}[/tex]

Apply the following law of indices;

[tex]\frac{a^n}{b^n} = (\frac{a}{b})^n[/tex]

[tex]\frac{(2x - 3y)^2}{(3y - 2x)^2} = [\frac{2x - 3y}{3y - 2x}]^2[/tex]

Rewrite the numerator

[tex]\frac{(2x - 3y)^2}{(3y - 2x)^2} = [\frac{-(3y - 2x)}{3y - 2x}]^2[/tex]

Cross out the common factor of the numerator and denominator

[tex]\frac{(2x - 3y)^2}{(3y - 2x)^2} = [\frac{-1}{1}]^2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{(2x - 3y)^2}{(3y - 2x)^2} = [-1]^2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{(2x - 3y)^2}{(3y - 2x)^2} = 1[/tex]

Hence, the solution is 1; not -1

Her mistake is that, she did not apply the square on -1, after she factorize the denominator

incorrect

Which number is an integer?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Can you please specify on that question

Answer:

Integers are numbers that include the negatives, zero and positives.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you ever get confused there's a big circle chart to help you remember look for it online!! What I use to remember is visualizing a number line!

First is the real numbers, so the numbers we were taught since we were little like 1, 2 ,3, 4, 5, 6 and so on. So that's the first part of the number line.

Next is the whole numbers so you just add a zero to that number line. Whole numbers is just all of the real numbers + the number zero.

Then it's the integers so you add the left side of that number line. Integers are real numbers, whole numbers, and negatives. So basically on the number line it's the negatives , zero, and the positives.

Last it's the radicals so all parts of a number like fractions and decimals. So you can add .5 in between the numbers of that numberline.

I hope this strategy helped and if it didn't here's that circle chart!!

I really hope this did help tho!!

Here is a system of linear equations: -2x + y = 7
6x + y = 11
What is the solution to the system of equations shown?
A
(1/4, 7 1/2)
B.
(2, 11)
c.
(1/2, 8)
D.
(3, -7)
Yes

Answers

Answer:

c. (1/2, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.

Choose one of the equations and solve it for x by isolating x on the left hand side of the equal sign.

-2x + y = 7

Step 1: Subtract y from both sides of the equation.

-2x = -y + 7

Step 2: Divide both sides by -2

x = 1/2y - 7/2

Substitute what you see above this statement for y in the other equation.

6(1/2y - 7/2) + y = 11

Step 3: Multiply 6 by 1/2y - 7/2.

3y - 21 + y = 11

Step 4: Combine y and 3y.

4y - 21 = 11

Step 5: Add 21 to both sides

4y = 11 + 21

4y = 32

Step 6: Divide both sides by 4.

y = 32/4

y = 8

Step 7: Substitute 8 for y in x = 1/2y - 7/2 Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.

x = 1/2(8) - 7/2

Step 8: Multiply 1/2 by 8.

x = 4 - 7/2

Step 9: Add -7/2 to 4.

x = 1/2

The system is now solved, and we get C (1/2, 8) as our answer.
