Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, honestly not sure how to solve this but I'll try.

Each correct answer is giving 4 points but the probability to choose the correct one is 1/5

Each incorrect one gives -2 points and the chance to pick a wrong answer is 4/5.

Obviously, the chance to lose points is more. But is taking the risk and guessing worth it? Well, it depends on how many points the correct answer gives. If it makes up for the possible loss of points, then it is in his interest to guess, otherwise he will end up losing more than they win.

If we sum the two chances to find averagely how many points the student will get, then I guess that would be the correct answer:

4(1/5) + (-2)(4/5) = 4/5 - 8/5 = -4/5

He will get averagely -4/5 points, so I believe it isn't in his interest. It means that the points he gets don't make up for the possible loss of points if you choose answers randomly. (Wow, I'm glad teachers don't do this on tests 0_0)

This is my theory though, not sure how to go for solving this, just thinked logically. I hope this helps, but don't trust me and copy paste my answer on your test or whatever. Think if this is correct first because I'm not sure

What is an accumulated depreciation?

Accumulated depreciation is the accumulation of an asset's depreciation through a specific point in its lifetime. It is a contra asset account, which means that its proper balance is a credit that decreases the asset's overall value.

A corporation debits depreciation expenditures and credits accumulated depreciation when accounting for depreciation in the general ledger. 

On the balance sheet, accumulated depreciation is recorded and shown underneath the line for associated capitalized assets.

Therefore, we can conclude that Accumulated Depreciation and Fees Earned would be sorted into the Balance Sheet.

==========================================================

Explanation:

Use the triangle inequality theorem to set up these three inequalities

AB+BC > ACAB+AC > BCAC+BC > AB

If you were to apply substitution and solve for x, then you'd get these solutions in the order presented shown above

x < 11/2x > 3/4x > -3/4

We'll ignore the third inequality. It's not very useful because we were already told that x > 0.

The first two inequalities combine to get 3/4 < x < 11/2

This is the range of possible x values so that triangle ABC is possible.

---------------

If we want angle CAB (or angle A for short) to be the largest of the triangle, then side BC must be the longest of the three sides.

The rule is: the largest angle is always opposite the longest side. This applies to triangles only.

Since BC is the longest side, this means BC > AB and BC > AC

---------------

Let's focus on the first inequality

BC > AB

x+7 > x+4

7 > 4

That's true regardless of what we pick for x. So BC is always longer than AB.

---------------

Now onto the second inequality

BC > AC

x+7 > 4x

7 > 4x-x

7 > 3x

3x < 7

x < 7/3

Now recall that we found earlier x > 3/4 or 3/4 < x

Combine 3/4 < x and x < 7/3 to get the compound inequality 3/4 < x < 7/3

---------------

Notice the middle part of that compound inequality is x and BC = x+7

If we were to add 7 to all three parts of the compound inequality, then we'll determine exactly the possible range of lengths for segment BC.

3/4 < x < 7/3

3/4+7 < x+7 < 7/3+7

3/4 + 28/4 < x+7 < 7/3 + 21/3

31/4 < x+7 < 28/3

31/4 < BC < 28/3

The length of segment BC is between 31/4 units and 28/3 units, excluding both endpoints. Those are the values of m and n in that order.

---------------

The last step is to compute n-m

n-m = (28/3) - (31/4)

n-m = (112/12) - (93/12)

n-m = (112-93)/12

n-m = 19/12 which points us to choice D.

Side note: 7/3 - 3/4 = 28/12 - 9/12 = (28-9)/12 = 19/12

y=3(x-2)(x-5) standard form?

Answers

Answer:

y = 3x² - 21x + 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is the factored form of a quadratic function.

The standard form is:

y = ax² + bx + c

Open parenthesis to convert it into standard form:

y = 3(x - 2)(x - 5)   = 3(x² - 7x + 10)   = 3x² - 21x + 30

Answer:

3x² - 21x + 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Keep in mind that the equation in standard form is y = ax² + bx + c

[Where "a, b, and c" are the constants.]

Simplify the distibutive property:

⇒ y = 3(x - 2)(x - 5)

⇒ y = (3x - 6)(x - 5)

Simplifying the R.H.S using the rule (a + b)(c - d) = ac - ad + bc - bd:

⇒ y = (3x - 6)(x - 5)

⇒ y = (3x² - 15x - 6x + 30)

⇒ y = (3x² - 21x + 30)

⇒ y = 3x² - 21x + 30

If possible, reorganize the equation in standard form:

⇒ y = 3x² - 21x + 30 (In standard form)

Marsha sees an airplane flying overhead. The spot on the ground that is directly under the plane is 3,600 feet from Marsha's house. She sees the plane at a 45o angle of elevation. What is the elevation of the plane?

Answers

The elevation of the plane is 3600 ft

Let

h = elevation of plane, d = distance from Marsha's house to spot on ground below plane = 3600 feet and Ф = angle of elevation of plane = 45°

From the triangle, we have the trigonometric ratio

tanФ = h/D

Elevation of the plane

Making h subject of the formula, we have

h = DtanФ

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

h = DtanФ

h = 3600 ft × tan45°

h = 3600 ft × 1

h = 3600 ft

So, the elevation of the plane is 3600 ft

Explanation:

Let's rewrite the given expression like so

We can see that the radicand is a multiple of 9 since 9 is a factor.

This immediately rules out choices C and D because 75 and 84 are not multiples of 9.

-------------

Plug in the smallest positive integer (1) for y to get

[tex]\sqrt{9(1+3)}=\sqrt{9(4)} = \sqrt{36}\\\\[/tex]

The radicand 36 is larger than the radicand for choice A (18), meaning we can rule out choice A. There's no way to get a radicand of 18 since y = 1 is the smallest we can go for.

We can however get to 63 by using y = 4

[tex]\sqrt{9(4+3)}=\sqrt{9(7)} = \sqrt{63}\\\\[/tex]

Showing that choice B is of the form [tex]3\sqrt{y+3}[/tex] where y is a positive integer, specifically when y = 4.
