What are the coordinates of the vertex of the graph of the absolute value function h(x) = 3|x + 5| + 2? A) (5,-2) B) (-5,2) C) (5,2) D) (2,-5)

Answers

Answer:

B) Vertex = (-5, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex can be defined as defined as the point where two lines meet and form a particular angle with each other. It can also be described as the point where a line changes its direction

We can find vertex by two methods:

1) GRAPH

We can see in the graph attached below that the line changes its direction at point (-5, 2). So the vertex is (-5,2)

2) FORMULA

General form of equation of mod function is given by

y = a |x - h| + k

where Vertex = (h, k)

The given equation is

h(x) = 3 |x + 5| + 2

h(x) = 3 |x - (-5)| + 2

where h = -5 and k = 2

So the vertex is:

Vertex = (-5, 2)

Suppose that the weights of 5400 registered female Labrador retrievers in the United States are distributed normally with a mean of 62.5 lb and a standard deviation of 2.5 lb. Approximately how many of the Labrador retrievers weigh less than 65

Answers

I believe the normal distribution is symmetrical above and below

the mean.  That tells us that in this kind of distribution, the mean

and the median are the same number ... 50% of the population

is below it, and 50% is above it.

So if the female Labs' weight actually follows a 'normal' distribution

with a mean of 62.5 lbs, then 2,700 of them weigh more than 62.5 lbs

and 2,700 of them weigh less than that. 

The standard deviation doesn't matter.

Which hourly interval had the greatest rate of change?

1) hour 0 to hour 1
3) hour 2 to hour 3
2) hour 1 to hour 2
4) hour 3 to hour 4

Answers

Answer:

Option 1) is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The graph shows the distance in miles, m, hiked from a camp in h hours.

To find: hourly interval that had the greatest rate of change

Solution:

Rate of change between two points refers to the vertical change divided by the horizontal change.

For hour 0 to hour 1:

rate of change = [tex]\frac{2-0}{1-0}=2[/tex]

For hour 2 to hour 3:

rate of change = [tex]\frac{4.5-3.5}{3-2}=1[/tex]

For hour 1 to hour 2:

rate of change = [tex]\frac{3.5-2}{2-1}=1.5[/tex]

For hour 3 to hour 4:

rate of change = [tex]\frac{5-4.5}{4-3}=0.5[/tex]

So, rate of change is greatest in interval: hour 0 to hour 1

The greatest rate of change between the interval 0 to 1 hour.

Given that,

The graph below shows the distance in miles, m, hiked from a camp in h hours.

We have to determine,

Which hourly interval had the greatest rate of change?

According to the question,

The greatest rate of change between the interval is determined by the rate of change between two points refers to the vertical change divided by the horizontal change.

1. The rate of change between 0 to 1 hours is,

[tex]\rm Rate \ of \ change = \dfrac{2-0}{1-0}\\\\ Rate \ of \ change= \dfrac{2}{1}\\\\ Rate \ of \ change= 2[/tex]

The rate of change between 0 to 1 hour is 2.

2. The rate of change between 2 to 3 hours is,

[tex]\rm Rate \ of \ change = \dfrac{4.5-3.5}{3-2}\\\\ Rate \ of \ change= \dfrac{1}{1}\\\\ Rate \ of \ change= 1[/tex]

The rate of change between 2 to 3 hours is 1.

3. The rate of change between 1 to 2 hours is,

[tex]\rm Rate \ of \ change = \dfrac{3.5-2}{2-1}\\\\ Rate \ of \ change= \dfrac{1.5}{1}\\\\ Rate \ of \ change= 1.5[/tex]

The rate of change between 1 to 2 hours is 1.5.

4. The rate of change between 3 to 4 hours is,

[tex]\rm Rate \ of \ change = \dfrac{5-4.5}{4-3}\\\\ Rate \ of \ change= \dfrac{0.5}{1}\\\\ Rate \ of \ change= 0.5[/tex]

The rate of change between 2 to 3 hours is 1.

Hence, The required greatest rate of change between the interval 0 to 1 hour.

Solve for x and show all of your steps.
3x - 20 - 4x = 4x - (3x - 2)

Answers

Answer: x = -11

Step-By-Step:
We can start by combining like terms on the left side.
-20 - x = 4x - (3x - 2)
Now we need to distribute the negative on the right side.
-20 - x = 4x - 3x + 2
Now combine like terms on the right.
-20 - x = x + 2
Now add 20 to the other side
- x = x + 22
Subtract x from the left side.
-2x = 22
Now divide by -2.
x = -11

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x -20 -4x =4x -(3x -2)

3x - 20 -4x = 4x -3x+2

-x-20 =x +2

-20-2=x +x

Complete Question

When the two crews start working together, what part of all

the garbage bins will the first garbage truck empty?

The crew of a garbage truck takes 5 hours to empty all the bins in one neighborhood on pickup day. The city assigned a second garbage truck to this neighborhood. During their training, it took the crew from the second truck 8 hours to empty all the bins.

Options

• 0.6

• 0.5

• 0.7

Answer:

0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us say that the total hours worked by both trucks = t hours

Number of hours worked by first truck = 5 hours

Number of hours worked by second truck = 8 hours

Let 1 =  total number of bins.

For the 1st truck the rate at which work was carried out is

(1 ) ÷ (5 ) = 1/5

For the 1st truck the rate at which work was carried out is

( 1 ) ÷ (8 ) = 1/8

Then,

(1/5 + 1/8) × t =1

(1/5 + 1/8) × t= 1

(13/40)t = 1

t = 1÷ 13/40

t = 1× 40/13

t = 40/13 hours.

Hence, the total hours worked by both trucks = 40/13 hours

the part of all

the garbage bins that the first garbage truck will empty is calculated as:

1/5 × 40/13 hr

1/5 × 40/13

= 0.6153846154

Approximately = 0.6

Therefore, when the two crews start working together, the part of all

the garbage bins that the first garbage truck will empty is 0.6 of the total work done.

Explain how you can use the inscribed angle theorem to justify its second corollary, that an angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

An inscribed angle is an angle formed by two chords in a circle which have a common endpoint. This common endpoint forms the vertex of the inscribed angle. The other two endpoints define what we call an intercepted arc on the circle. The intercepted arc might be thought of as the part of the circle which is "inside" the inscribed angle. (See the pink part of the circle in the picture above.)

A central angle is any angle whose vertex is located at the center of a circle. A central angle necessarily passes through two points on the circle, which in turn divide the circle into two arcs: a major arc and a minor arc. The minor arc is the smaller of the two arcs, while the major arc is the bigger. We define the arc angle to be the measure of the central angle which intercepts it.

The Inscribed Angle Conjecture I gives the relationship between the measures of an inscribed angle and the intercepted arc angle. It says that the measure of the intercepted arc is twice that of the inscribed angle.

The precise statements of the conjectures are given below. Each conjecture has a linked Sketch Pad demonstration to illustrate its truth (proof by Geometer's Sketch Pad!). The linked activities sheet also include directions for further "hands on" investigations involving these conjectures, as well as geometric problems which utilize their results.

The precise statement of the conjectures:

Conjecture (Inscribed Angles Conjecture I ): In a circle, the measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the central angle with the same intercepted arc..

Corollary (Inscribed Angles Conjecture II ): In a circle, two inscribed angles with the same intercepted arc are congruent.

Proof: The measure of each inscribed angle is exactly half the measure of its intercepted arc. Since they have the same intercepted arc, they have the same measure.

Corollary (Inscribed Angles Conjecture III ): Any angle inscribed in a semi-circle is a right angle.

Proof: The intercepted arc for an angle inscribed in a semi-circle is 180 degrees. Therefore the measure of the angle must be half of 180, or 90 degrees. In other words, the angle is a right angle.

Answers

Answer:

A)[tex]^{28}P_4}=491400[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of members = 28

We are supposed to find the no. of ways the four offices of chairman, vice chairman, secretary, and treasurer be filled from a club with 28 members

When 1 member is selected for Chairman position

So, 27 members will be left for the selection for the position of Vice chairman

When 1 member out of 27  is selected for Vice chairman position

So,26 members will be left for the selection for the position of secretary

When 1 member out of 26  is selected for secretary position

So,25 members will be left for the selection for the position of treasurer

Permutation relates to the act of arranging all the members of a set into some sequence or order,

The combination is a way of selecting items from a collection, such that (unlike permutations) the order of selection does not matter.

So, we will use permutation over here

Formula [tex]^nP_r=\frac{n}{(n-r)!}[/tex]

Substitute n = 28 and r = 4

So,[tex]^{28}P_4=\frac{28!}{(28-4)!}=491400[/tex]

So, Option A is true

A)[tex]^{28}P_4}=491400[/tex]

Hence There are 491400 ways the four offices of chairman, vice chairman, secretary, and treasurer be filled from a club with 28 members.

The number of ways the four offices of chairman, vice chairman, secretary, and treasurer be filled from a club with 28 members is 491,400.

The given parameters

Number of members = 28 Number of positions = 4

Total arrangement of the different positions available

[tex]nP_r =\frac{n!}{(n- r)!}[/tex]

[tex]28 P4 = \frac{28!}{(28-4)!} = \frac{28!}{24!} = 491,400[/tex]

Thus, the number of ways the four offices of chairman, vice chairman, secretary, and treasurer be filled from a club with 28 members is 491,400.

There are films, plays, novels, international conferences, exhibitions, annual ceremonies with the participation of the nations officialdom. The most striking example is that of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C.; it has received more than twenty-two million visitors since its inauguration in 1993.This may be because the public knows that the number of survivors is shrinking daily and is fascinated by the idea of sharing memories that will soon be lost. For in the end, it is all about memory, its sources, and its magnitude, and, of course, its consequences.For the survivor who chooses to testify, it is clear: his duty is to bear witness for the dead and for the living. He has no right to deprive future generations of a past that belongs to our collective memory. To forget would be not only dangerous by offensive; to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.Sometimes I am asked if I know the response to Auschwitz; I answer that not only do I not know it, but that I dont even know if a tragedy of this magnitude has a response. What I do know is that there is response in responsibility. When we speak of this era of evil and darkness, so close and yet so distant, responsibility is the key word.The witness has forced himself to testify. For the youth of today, for the children who will be born tomorrow. He does not want his past to become their future.In these final thoughts from the preface precluding his memoir Night, Elie Wiesel talks about memories and trying to understand Auschwitz.
