C. Divide all terms by 5

D. Divide 12 by 2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

To make the perfect square the first step is  Subtract 40 from both sides option (A) is correct.

What is a quadratic equation?

Any equation of the form [tex]\rm ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]  where x is variable and a, b, and c are any real numbers where a ≠ 0 is called a quadratic equation.

As we know, the formula for the roots of the quadratic equation is given by:

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

The complete question is:

Which is the best first step to solve 5x²+12x = 40 by completing the square?

A. Subtract 40 from both sides.B. Divide all terms by 12.C. Divide all terms by 5D. Divide 12 by 2

We have a quadratic equation:

5x²+12x = 40

To make the perfect square:

First, subtract 40 from both sides.

5x²+12x - 40 = 40 - 40

5x²+12x - 40 = 0

Thus, to make the perfect square the first step is  Subtract 40 from both sides option (A) is correct.

If the coefficient of determination is 0.394, what percentage of the data about the regression line is unexplained

Answers

Answer:

The percentage [regression line is unexplained]  = 60.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Coefficient of determination = 0.394

Find:

The percentage [regression line is unexplained]

Computation:

Coefficient of determination = 0.394

Coefficient of determination = 39.4%

The percentage [regression line is unexplained]  = 100% - Coefficient of determination

The percentage [regression line is unexplained]  = 100% - 39.4%

The percentage [regression line is unexplained]  = 60.6%

Type ALL the steps of writing the equation of the line given the slope of the line is −4 and a point on the line is (−2,1).

Answers

Answer:

y = -4x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

we use the slope intercept formula given by; y = mx + b

b = y intercept, which is when x = 0

m = slope

so they tell us the slope.. we just need to find b - the y intercept.

y = mx + b

plug in your coordinates (-2,1)

1 = -4(-2) + b

1 = 8 + b

1 - 8 = b

-7 = b

put it all together.

y = -4x - 7

Answers

Answer:

41º

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of parallel lines, (2x-5)º=180º-113º, so (2x-5)º=67º.

(2x-5)º=67º2x-5=67º2xº=72ºx=36º

The angle that says (2x)º will be (2[36])º=72º.

So the other angle will be 180-67-72=41º as the sum of a triangle's interior angles is 180º.

Answer:

41°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle below (2x-5) is also 113° (which i hope you know why)

Then to find (2x-5)° you would subtract 180 - 113 to get the angle because both those angles would add up to 180° because it is a straight angle which gives you 67°

Then you need to find x by solving the equation 2x - 5 = 67 which would give you x = 36, so you would multiply that by 2 for the angle on the side which would be 72°

Then bc the angles on the inside of the triangle all add up to 180° as well, you would add 72 + 67 = 139, then do 180 - 139 giving you d° as 41°

at one high school, the mean time for running the 100-yard dash is 15.2 seconds with a standard deviation of 0.9 seconds. the times are very closely approximated by a normal curve. find the percent of times that are at least 14.3 seconds

Answers

Answer:

The percent of times that are at least 14.3 seconds is approximately 16%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denote the time for running the 100-yard dash.

It is provided that the times are very closely approximated by a normal curve.

So, the random variable X follows a normal distribution with a mean time of 15.2 seconds and with a standard deviation of 0.9 seconds.

Compute the probability of times that are at least 14.3 seconds as follows:

[tex]P(X\geq 14.3)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\geq \frac{14.3-15.2}{0.9})[/tex]

                    [tex]=P(Z\geq -1)\\\\=1-P(Z<-1)\\\\=P(Z<-1)\\\\=0.15866\\\\\approx 0.159[/tex]

*Use a z-table.

Thus, the percent of times that are at least 14.3 seconds is approximately 16%.
