Answer:
45.0
Step-by-step explanation:
44.981 = 45.0 (to 3 s.f.)
*important point to note: the 0 must be included as the question asked for 3 significant figures. In this case, 0 is significant.
I hope this helps :)
Rounding 44.981 to three significant figures gives us 44.9.
To round the value 44.981 to three significant figures, we start counting from the leftmost non-zero digit.
The three significant figures in this case are "44.9".
The digit immediately after the third significant figure is 8.
Since 8 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up the last significant figure, which is 9.
Therefore, rounding 44.981 to three significant figures gives us 44.9.

B. (3, -7)
When the equation is graphed, the vertex is at the point (3,-7). I hope this helps!!!
The vertex of the quadratic expression g(x) = 8x² - 48x + 65 is (3, -7).
What are Quadratic Expressions?Quadratic expressions are polynomial expressions of second degree.
The general form of a quadratic expression is ax² + b x + c.
The vertex of a quadratic function f(x) = ax² + b x + c is,
(-b/2a, f(-b/2a)).
Here the function is,
g(x) = 8x² - 48x + 65
b = -48 and a = 8.
Vertex = (-(-48) / 16, g(-(-48) / 16))
= (3, g(3))
g(3) = 8(3)² - 48(3) + 65 = 0
g(3) = -7

Write and simplify an absolute value expression to find the distance between –3 and 8 on a number line A. −|−3 − 8| = –11 B. −|−3 + 8| = –5 C. |−3 + 8| = 5 D. |−3 − 8| = 11
Answer:
D. |−3 − 8| = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to simplify an absolute value expression to find the distance between -3 and 8 on a number line.
Firstly, as we know that the absolute value means any number inside the mod (whether positive or negative) will come out as a positive value only, that means;
The absolute value of -6 = [tex]|-6|[/tex] = 6
The absolute value of 6 = [tex]|6|[/tex] = 6
Now, the distance between the numbers -3 and 8 on the number line will be the difference of two numbers inside the mod, that means;
Distance = [tex]|-3-8|[/tex] = [tex]|-11|[/tex]
As the number inside the mod comes out as a positive value only, so the distance = 11.
Hence, the distance between –3 and 8 on a number line is 11.
Nate has 6 3/5 of fabric. He uses 3 1/2 yards of fabric to make a pillow. How much fabric dose he left
Answer:
3 and 1/2 minus 2/3 minus 1/3 =
7/2 minus 2/3 minus 1/3 =
21/6 minus 4/6 minus 2/6 =
17/6 - 2/6 =
15/6 = 5/2 = 2 and 1/2
Optionally, you can think of it this way:
He used 2/3 yards for the pillow and 1/3 yard for the scarf.
So he used 1 yard
3 and 1/2 minus 1 = 2 and 1/2 = 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
You estimate that the driving distance from Raleigh, NC to Charlotte, NC is around 180 miles. When you looked it up on the internet, you found that the actual distance is only 167.5 miles. What was the relative (percent) error of your estimate? In other words, how far off were you from the actual value?
Answer:
7.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Approximate distance = 180 miles
Actual distance = 167.5 miles
Percent error = { (approximate value - actual value) / actual value } × 100
= { (180 - 167.5) / 167.5 } × 100
= (12.5 / 167.5) × 100
= 0.075 × 100
= 7.5%

Traffic police monitor the speed of vehicles as they travel over a new bridge. The average speed for a sample of 41 vehicles was 81.35 km/h, with the sample standard deviation being 4.52km/h. We will assume that the speeds are Normally distributed, and the police are interested in the mean speed.
Part a) Since the variance of the underlying Normal distribution is not known, inference here would involve the t distribution. How many degrees of freedom would the relevant t distribution have?
Part b) Create a 95 % confidence interval for the mean speed of vehicles crossing the bridge. Give the upper and lower bounds to your interval, each to 2 decimal places. ( ,)
Part c) The police hypothesized that the mean speed of vehicles over the bridge would be the speed limit, 80 km/h. Taking a significance level of 5 %, what should infer about this hypothesis?
A. We should reject the hypothesis since 80 km/h is in the interval found in (b).
B. We should reject the hypothesis since 80 km/h is not in the interval found in (b).
C. We should not reject the hypothesis since the sample mean is in the interval found in (b).
D. We should reject the hypothesis since the sample mean was not 80 km/h.
E. We should not reject the hypothesis since 80 km/h is in the interval found in (b).
Part d) Decreasing the significance level of the hypothesis test above would (select all that apply)
A. not change the Type II error probability.
B. decrease the Type I error probability.
C. either increase or decrease the Type I error probability.
D. not change the Type I error probability.
E. increase the Type I error probability.
Answer:
(a) The degrees of freedom; the relevant t distribution would have = n - 1 = 41 - 1 = 40.
(b) A 95% confidence interval for the mean speed of vehicles crossing the bridge is [79.92 km/hr, 82.78 km/hr] .
(c) We should not reject the hypothesis since 80 km/h is in the interval found in (b).
(d) Decrease the Type I error probability.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the average speed for a sample of 41 vehicles was 81.35 km/h, with the sample standard deviation being 4.52km/h.
(a) Since here we don't know about population standard deviation, so the distribution that will be used here is t-distribution as the data also follows the normal distribution.
The degrees of freedom; the relevant t distribution would have = n - 1 = 41 - 1 = 40.
(b) Firstly, the pivotal quantity for finding the confidence interval for the population mean is given by;
P.Q. = [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ~ [tex]t_n_-_1[/tex]
where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample average speed of vehichles = 81.35 km/h
s = sample standard deviation = 4.52 km/h
n = sample of vehicles = 541
[tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean
Here for constructing a 95% confidence interval we have used a One-sample t-test statistics as we don't know about population standard deviation.
So, 95% confidence interval for the population mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is ;
P(-2.021 < [tex]t_4_0[/tex] < 2.021) = 0.95 {As the critical value of t at 40 degrees of
freedom are -2.021 & 2.021 with P = 2.5%}
P(-2.021 < [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < 2.021) = 0.95
P( [tex]-2.021 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]{\bar X-\mu}[/tex] < [tex]2.021 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ) = 0.95
P( [tex]\bar X-2.021 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]\mu[/tex] < [tex]\bar X+2.021 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ) = 0.95
95% confidence interval for [tex]\mu[/tex] = [ [tex]\bar X-2.021 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] , [tex]\bar X+2.021 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ]
= [ [tex]81.35-2.021 \times {\frac{4.52}{\sqrt{41} } }[/tex] , [tex]81.35+2.021 \times {\frac{4.52}{\sqrt{41} } }[/tex] ]
= [79.92 km/hr, 82.78 km/hr]
Therefore, a 95% confidence interval for the mean speed of vehicles crossing the bridge is [79.92 km/hr, 82.78 km/hr] .
(c) The hypothesis given to us is;
Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] = 80 km/hr {means that the mean speed of vehicles over the bridge would be the speed limit of 80 km/h}
Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] [tex]\neq[/tex] 80 km/hr {means that the mean speed of vehicles over the bridge would be the speed limit of different from 80 km/h}
Here, we should not reject the null hypothesis since 80 km/h is in the interval found in (b) which means that we are 95% confident that the mean speed of vehicles over the bridge would be the speed limit of 80 km/h.
(d) Decreasing the significance level of the hypothesis test above would decrease the Type I error probability because Type I error probability is represented by the significance level.

Answer:
[tex]q(x)=2x-5,x\neq-2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have:
[tex]a(x)=2x^2-x-10\\b(x)=x+2[/tex]
And we want to find the quotient q(x). Thus:
[tex]q(x)=\frac{a(x)}{b(x)}[/tex]
Substitute:
[tex]q(x)=\frac{2x^2-x-10}{x+2}[/tex]
Factor the numerator:
[tex]2x^2-x-10\\=2x^2+4x-5x-10\\=2x(x+2)-5(x+2)\\=(2x-5)(x+2)[/tex]
Substitute:
[tex]q(x)=\frac{(2x-5)(x+2)}{x+2}[/tex]
The (x+2)s cancel out. Therefore:
[tex]q(x)=2x-5[/tex]
However, we must restrict x such that it cannot equal -2.
In the original equation, if it did, our answer would be undefined. Thus, our final answer is:
[tex]q(x)=2x-5,x\neq-2[/tex]
And we are done :)

Felix concludes that x + 3{ } Response area a factor of f(x)=−2x4−8x3−2x−63.
Answer:
1st Slot: f(-3)
2nd Slot: -3
3rd Slot: is not
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the Remainder Theorem, we plug in the root of x + 3 (which is x = -3) and see the remainder.
If the remainder = 0, it is a factor
If the remainder ≠ 0, it is NOT a factor
f(-3) = -2(-3)⁴ - 8(-3)³ - 2(-3) - 63
f(-3) = -3
So, x + 3 is NOT a factor.
We then have our 3 answers.

⇒(24j + 96c + 24b + 120m = 324) - (24j + 4c + 10b + 13m = 58)
= 92j + 14b + 107m = 266 -----------------equ 5
also
equ 1 × 55 - equ 4
( 110j + 440c + 110b + 550m = 1485) - ( 110j + 120c + 100b + 85m = 525 )
320c + 10b + 465m = 960
divide through by 5
64c + 2b + 93m = 192 ----------------------- equ 6
then
equ(5)×93 - equ(6)×107
(8556j + 1302b + 9951m = 24738) - (6848j + 214b + 9951m = 20544)
1708j + 1088b = 4194
divide through by 2
854j + 544b = 2097 --------------------------- equ 7
Now
equ(3)×854 - equ(7)×8
(6832c + 5124b = 17934) - ( 6832c + 4352b = 16776)
772b = 1158
b = 1158 / 772
b = 1.5
now put (b=1.5) in equation 3
8c + 6(1.5) = 21
8c 9 = 21
8c = 21 - 9
8c = 12
c = 12/8
c = 1.5
now put (b=1.5) and (c=1.5) in equation 6
64(1.5) + 2(1.5) + 93m = 192
96 + 3 + 93m = 192
93m = 192 - 99
93m = 93
m = 93/93
m = 1
now put (b=1.5), (c=1.5) and (m=1) in equation 1
2j + 8(1.5) + 2(1.5) + 10(1) = 27
2j + 12 + 3 + 10 = 27
2j + 25 = 27
2j = 27 -25
2j = 2
j = 2/2
j = 1
Therefore 1 C JUICE , 1 C MILK , 1.5 SLICE OF BREAD and 1.5 C CEREAL should each be served to obtain the desired amounts.

In 1990 the average family income was about $ 39 , 000 , and in 2010 it was about $ 70 , 768 . Let x = 0 represent 1990, x = 1 represent 1991, and so on. Find values for a and b so that f ( x ) = a x + b models the data A= _____. B=______. What was the average family income in 2005?
Answer:
[tex]f(x) = 1588.4x + 39000[/tex]
[tex]f(15) = 62826[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
In 1990; Income= $39000
In 2010; Income= $70768
Solving (a): An equation in form of f(x) = ax + b
First, we need to determine the slope, a
[tex]a = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]
Taking y as income and x as year index.
When x = 0; y = 39000
When x = 20; y = 70768
Substitute these values in the above formula
[tex]a = \frac{70768 - 39000}{20 - 0}[/tex]
[tex]a = \frac{31768}{20}[/tex]
[tex]a = 1588.4[/tex]
Next, is to determine the formula using:
[tex]y - y_1 = a(x - x_1)[/tex]
Considering :When x = 0; y = 39000, we have
[tex]y - 39000 = 1588.4(x - 0)[/tex]
[tex]y - 39000 = 1588.4x[/tex]
Make y the subject of formula
[tex]y = 1588.4x + 39000[/tex]
Express y as a function of x
[tex]f(x) = 1588.4x + 39000[/tex]
Solving (b): Income in 2005
In 2005, x = 15
So:
[tex]f(x) = 1588.4x + 39000[/tex] becomes
[tex]f(15) = 1588.4 * 15 + 39000[/tex]
[tex]f(15) = 62826[/tex]

What is equation?A statement of equality between two expressions consisting of variables and/or numbers. In essence, equations are questions, and the development of a mathematics has been driven by attempts to find answers to those questions in a systematic way.
For example
An equation is a mathematical statement with an 'equal to' symbol between two expressions that have equal values. For example, 3x + 5 = 15. There are different types of equations like linear, quadratic, cubic, etc.
Given:
x= 5 ± √16
Now, taking the root of 16 which is +4 and -4.
So, x= 5 ± 4
We have two values ,
x= 5+4 or x= 5-4
x=9 or 1
Hence, the solution to x= 5 ± √16 is B. 1 and C. 9.

Essentially I simplified each radical, factored out each variable, combined the radicals after more simplification, and then picked the answer you were most likely looking for. I gave some alternatives in my work that are "simple" too, but the answer above is most likely I'd say.
Work is in the attachment, comment with any questions.
Jason had to replace the floor of a triangular portion of his dining room. The portion had a height that was twice as high as the base. If the total area of the portion he needed to replace was 16 square feet (16ft2),how long in feet was the base of the portion he needed to replace?
Answer:
4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the the area of a triangle can be represented as [tex]\frac{bh}{2}[/tex].
Since the height is twice the base, we can substitute the value [tex]2b[/tex] in as [tex]h[/tex] in the expression, making it [tex]\frac{b\cdot2b}{2}[/tex]. If the area is 16, we can make the equation
[tex]\frac{b\cdot2b}{2} = 16[/tex]
Now to solve for b.
[tex]\frac{2b^2}{2} = 16\\\frac{2b^2}{2}\cdot2 = 16\cdot2\\\\2b^2 = 32\\\\2b^2\div2 = 32\div2\\\\b^2 = 16\\\\b=4[/tex]
Hope this helped!
The line graph shows the time spent by people visiting the
Department of Motor Vehicles to renew their driver's license during
their birth month. To the nearest minute, what is the average waiting
time for all the months shown on the graph?
A)
18 minutes
B)
29 minutes
C)
37 minutes
D)
41 minutes
Answer:
Option (B)
Step-by-step explanation:
Average waiting time in the month of October = 20 minutes
Average waiting time in the month of November = 30 minutes
Average waiting time in the month of December = 60 minutes
Average waiting time in the month of January = 40 minutes
Average waiting time in the month of February = 10 minutes
Average waiting time in the month of March = 10 minutes
Average waiting time in the month of April = 30 minutes
Average waiting time in the month of May = 40 minutes
Average waiting time in the month of June = 20 minutes
Total waiting period from October to June = 20 + 30 + 60 + 40 + 10 + 10 + 30 + 40 + 20 = 260
Average waiting period = [tex]\frac{260}{9}[/tex]
= 28.89
≈ 29 minutes
Option (B) is the answer.
The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and width. Both length and width are whole numbers. A rectangular poster has an area of 204 square inches. The width of the poster is greater than 10 inches and is prime. What is the width of the poster?
Answer:
The width of the poster will be 17 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The area = 204 square inches
Note:
- both length and width are whole numbers
- The width of the poster is greater than 11 inches
- The width is a prime
The prime numbers greater than 11 are
13, 17, 19, 23, 29, ...,
all these numbers divide 204 with a remainder except for 17
Therefore, the width will be 17 inches, and the length will be 12
since 17 divides 204 into 12 places
