The height of a tree is x feet. If it grows ½ times the original height, choose the correct expression that denotes the situation.
ANSWER
1.5(x)
EXPLANATION
The tree is originally x feet tall. If it grows 1/2 this height it means that now it is 1/2x taller, or we can express this as a decimal, 0.5x. If we add these two heights we'll have the new height of the tree:
[tex]x+0.5x=(1+0.5)x=1.5x[/tex]4. Which inequality is represented by the graph?8642S-6428X4-6laO4x - 2y > 12O4x - 2y < 12O4x + 2y > 12O4x + 2y < 12
Hello there. To solve this question, we'll have to remember some properties about inequalities and its graphs.
First, we have to determine the equation of the line. For this, we have to find, by inspection, two points contained in that line:
We can easily find the points (0, -6) and (2, -2).
With this, we can find the equation of the line using the point-slope formula:
[tex]y-y_0=m\cdot(x-x_0)[/tex]Where (x0, y0) is a point of the line, as well as (x1, y1) and the slope m is given by:
[tex]m=\frac{y_1-y_0}{x_1-x_0}[/tex]Plugging the coordinates of the points, we get:
[tex]m=\frac{-2-(-6)}{2-0}=\frac{-2+6}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2[/tex]Such that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y-(-6)=2\cdot(x-0) \\ y+6=2x \end{gathered}[/tex]Rearranging it in the ax + by = c form,
[tex]2x-y=6[/tex]Multiply both sides of the equation by a factor of 2
[tex]4x-2y=12[/tex]Finally, notice that the values of y in the shaded region are greater than the values in the line, which means that the inequality we're looking for is:
[tex]4x-2y>12[/tex]All the point (x, y) satisfying this inequality are contained in the shaded region.
#2 Funding the perimeter and area of the composite figure.
1)
We can find the circumference using the formula
[tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]but remember that the diameter is 2 times the radius
[tex]d=2r[/tex]So we can use the formula using radius or diameter, the problem gives us the diameter, so let's use it, so the formula will change a little bit
[tex]C=\pi d[/tex]Where "d" is the diameter.
d = 40 yd, and π = 3.14, so the circumference will be
[tex]\begin{gathered} C=\pi d \\ C=3.14\cdot40=125.6\text{ yd} \end{gathered}[/tex]And to find out the area we can use this formula
[tex]A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}[/tex]Or if you prefer use the radius
[tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex]Let's use the formula with the diameter again
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4} \\ \\ A=\frac{3.14\cdot(40)^2}{4} \\ \\ A=1256\text{ yd}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then the circumference is 125.6 yd and the area is 1256 yd^2
2)
Here we have a compounded figure, we have half of a circle and a triangle, so let's think about how we get the perimeter and the area.
The perimeter will be the sum of the sides of the triangle and half of a circumference, we already know the length of the triangle's side, it's 10.82, we got to find the half of a circle circumference and then sum with the sides.
We know that
[tex]C=\pi d[/tex]And we can see in the figure that d = 12 mm, then
[tex]C=\pi d=3.14\cdot12=37.68\text{ mm}[/tex]But that's a full circumference, we just want half of it, so let's divide it by 2.
[tex]\frac{C}{2}=\frac{37.68}{2}=18.84\text{ mm}[/tex]Now we have half of a circumference we can approximate the perimeter of the figure, it will be
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=10.82+10.82+18.84 \\ \\ P=40.48\text{ mm} \end{gathered}[/tex]The area will be the area of the triangle sum the area of half of a circle
Then let's find the triangle's area first
[tex]A_{}=\frac{b\cdot h}{2}[/tex]The base "b" will be the diameter of the circle, and the height "h" will be 9 mm, then
[tex]A_{}=\frac{12\cdot9}{2}=54\text{ mm}^2[/tex]And the half of a circle's area will be
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{\pi d^2}{4}=\frac{3.14\cdot(12)^2}{8}=$$56.52$$\text{ mm}^2[/tex]Then the total area will be
[tex]A_T=56.52+54=110.52\text{ mm}^2[/tex]Therefore, the perimeter and the area is
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=40.48\text{ mm} \\ \\ A=110.52\text{ mm}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]zero and negative exponentswrite in simplest form without zero or negative exponents
We have the following rule for exponents:
[tex]a^0=1[/tex]then, in this case we have:
[tex](-17)^0=1[/tex]Find the perimeter of the following quadrilateral.The bottom side measures 2 ft.
The perimeter of a quadrilateral is given by the sum of all the sides.
In order to add mixed numbers, let's rewrite them as a sum of the integer part and the fraction part.
So we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=1\frac{5}{12}+3\frac{3}{4}+2\frac{1}{6}+2 \\ P=1+\frac{5}{12}+3+\frac{3}{4}+2+\frac{1}{6}+2 \\ P=(1+3+2+2)+(\frac{5}{12}+\frac{9}{12}+\frac{2}{12}) \\ P=8+\frac{16}{12} \\ P=8+1+\frac{4}{12} \\ P=9+\frac{1}{3} \\ P=9\frac{1}{3}\text{ ft} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore the perimeter is 9 1/3 ft.

Using the Empirical Rule, the correct option regarding the skewness of the distribution is given as follows:
(A) No, the distribution is skewed to the right.
What does the Empirical Rule state?The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable, the symmetric distribution of scores is given as follows:
The percentage of scores within one standard deviation of the mean of the distribution is of 68%.The percentage of scores within two standard deviations of the mean of the distribution is of 95%.The percentage of scores within three standard deviations of the mean off the distribution is of 99.7%.In the context of this problem, the mean and the standard deviation are given as follows:
Mean: 1.72.Standard deviation: 1.4.A huge percentage is within one standard deviation of the mean, and the distribution is not symmetric, hence it is not normal.
Since most values are at the lower bounds of the histogram, the distribution is right skewed and option a is correct.

Given the diagram shown with AB|| XZ
AY = 7
AX = 6
AB= 14
find XZ.
Step-by-step explanation:
due to AB being parallel to XZ, we know that ABY and XZY are similar triangles.
therefore, they have the same angles, and there is one common scale factor for all side lengths from one triangle to the other.
so,
AY / XY = AB / XZ
XY = AY + AX = 7 + 6 = 13
7/13 = 14/XZ
XZ×7/13 = 14
XZ×7 = 14×13
XZ = 14×13/7 = 2×13 = 26

Jaylen used a 20% discount on a pair of jeans that cost $70 before tax. The sales tax is 6%. How much does the pair of jeans cost after tax? Show your work
If Jaylen used a 20% discount on a pair of jeans that cost $70 before tax, then the price of the jeans will be $70 - 20%.
Let's calculate the 20% of $70.
[tex]70\times20\%=14[/tex]So, the discounted price of the jeans before tax is $70 - $14 = $56.
Generally, sales tax is applied to the discounted price, so let's calculate the 6% of $56.
[tex]6\%\times56=3.36[/tex]The sales tax is $3.36.
Therefore, the cost of the pair of jeans after tax is $59.36.

The rational number is -91/100 or -0.91.
What is Rational number?Any number of the form p/q, where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0, is a rational number. The letter q stands for the set of rational numbers.
The word "ratio" is where the word "rational" first appeared. Rational numbers are therefore closely tied to the idea of fractions, which stand for ratios. In other terms, a number is a rational number if it can be written as a fraction in which the numerator and denominator are both integers.

If the remaining 360 acres of cleared land is planted with gooseberry plants, what is the size, in acres, of the original field?*
For the given question, let the size of the original field = x
Ninety percent of a large field is cleared for planting
So, the size of the cleared land = 90% of x = 0.9x
50 percent is planted with blueberry plants and 40 percent is planted with strawberry plants.
So, the size of the land planted with blueberry plants and strawberry plants =
[tex]0.5\cdot0.9x+0.4\cdot0.9x=0.45x+0.36x=0.81x[/tex]The remaining will be = 0.9x - 0.81x = 0.09x

The graph of function g is a vertical stretch of the graph of function f by a factor of 3. Which equation describes function g?
g(x)=f(x/3)
g(x)=3f(x)
g(x)=f(3x) ,
g(x)=1/3f(x)
Answer:
B) g(x) = 3f(x)Step-by-step explanation:
What is a vertical stretch?Given a function f(x), a new function g(x) = cf(x), where c is a constant, is a vertical stretch of f(x) when c > 1.
In our case the function f(x) is stretched by a factor of 3.
It means c = 3 and therefore:
g(x) = 3f(x)Correct choice is B

In order to find a function M(t), first let's identify two ordered pairs that are solutions to the equation.
From the given information, we have the ordered pairs (1990, 1.16) and (2008, 1.4).
Using these ordered pairs, let's find the slope-intercept form of a linear equation (y = mx + b)
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ m=\frac{1.4-1.16}{2008-1990}=\frac{0.24}{18}=0.01333 \\ \\ y=mx+b \\ 1.16=1990\cdot0.01333+b \\ b=-25.3667 \\ \\ y=0.01333x-25.3667 \end{gathered}[/tex]So the equation is M = 0.01333t - 25.3667
The independent variable represents the year (correct option: first one)
b)
The slope represents the change in M over the change in t, that is, it represents the change in attendance over a year (correct option: first one)
c)
For t = 2015, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} M=0.01333\cdot2015-25.3667 \\ M=26.86-25.37 \\ M=1.49 \end{gathered}[/tex]d)
For M = 1.5, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1.5=0.01333\cdot t-25.3667 \\ 0.01333t=26.8667 \\ t=2015.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]
