Answer:

8.182X10^8 $pounds

a=8.182 and b=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of the Empire State Building =7.3X 10^8 pounds.

Weight of the One World Trade Center building= 88,200,000 pounds.

=8.82 X 10^7

The addition of the two:

=7.3X 10^8+8.82 X 10^7\\$To make it easier to add, express both as powers of 8\\=7.3X 10^8+0.882 X 10^8\\=(7.3+0.882)X10^8\\=8.182X10^8 $ pounds

Comparing with the form: aX10^b

a=8.182 and b=8

It takes 40 min for a bus to travel the 36 miles from Framingham to Worcester. A car traveling from Worcester to Framingham move
MArishka [77]

The velocity of the bus is:

velocity (bus) = 36 miles / 40 min

velocity (bus) = 0.9 miles / min

 

Since the car is 1.5 times faster, so the velocity of the car is:

velocity (car) = 1.5 * 0.9 miles / min

velocity (car) = 1.35 miles / min

 

At the meeting point, the sum of the distance is equal to 36 miles. Therefore:

1.35 t + 0.9 t = 36

2.25 t = 36

t = 16 min

 

So they will meet after 16 minutes.

Which statements about the graph of the function f(x) = –x2 – 4x + 2 are true? Select three options.
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The true statements about the graph of the function are:

The range of the function is {y : y ≤ 6} ⇒ 2nd

The function is increasing over the interval (–∞ , –2) ⇒ 3rd

The function has a positive y-intercept ⇒ 5th

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The function f(x) = -x² - 4x + 2 is a quadratic function represented

  graphically by a downward parabola with maximum vertex

∵ The form of the quadratic function is f(x) = ax² + bx + c

∵ The coordinates of the vertex of the parabola are (h , k) where

   h = -b/2a and k = f(h)

∵ a = -1 , b = -4

∴ h = -(-4)/2(-1) = 4/-2 = -2

∵ k = f(h)

∴ k = -(-2)² - 4(-2) + 2 = -(4) - (-8) + 2

∴ k = -4 + 8 + 2 = 6

∴ The vertex of the parabola is (-2 , 6)

* Look to the attached figure to find the true statements

∵ The greatest value of the function is 6 ⇒ y-coordinate of the vertex

∵ The range of the function is the values y-coordinates of the points

  on the parabola

∴ The range of the function is {y : y ≤ 6}

- The domain of the function is {x : x ∈ R} or (-∞ , ∞)

∵ The value of y increasing after -∞ to the x-coordinate of the vertex

∵ x-coordinate of the vertex is -2

∴ The function is increasing over the interval (–∞ , –2)

- The parabola intersect the y-axis at point (0 , 2)

∵ The y-intercept is the intersection between the parabola and the

   y-axis

∵ The parabola intersect the y-axis at point (0 , 2)

∴ The y-intercept is 2

∴ The function has a positive y-intercept

32​% of U.S. adults say they are more likely to make purchases during a sales tax holiday. You randomly select 10 adults. Find t
Lorico [155]

Answer:

A.  21.06%

B. 66.88%

C. 81.56%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two possible answer for the question asked, yes(more likely to make purchases) or no. The probability for a random adults answer yes to the question is 32% so the probability that the adults answer no is 68%.

(a) exactly​ two

There is only one case for this question, 2 people say yes and 8 people say no. The calculation for this problem will be:

2P10 * P(yes)^2 * P(no)^8= 10!/2!8!* 32%^2  * 68%^8 = 0.21066= 21.06%

(b) more than​ two

There are a lot of case for more than two, its easier to find out the negation of the probability which is "two or less". Case that fulfill "two or less" will be: 2 yes and 8 no

1 yes and 9 no

0 yes and 10 no

The calculation for the negation will be:

~P(X)= 0P10 * P(yes)^0 * P(no)^10   +   1P10 * P(yes)^1 * P(no)^9   +  2P10 * P(yes)^2 * P(no)^8  =

10!/0!10!* 32%^0  * 68%^10    +   10!/1!9!* 32%^1  * 68%^9   +   10!/2!8!* 32%^2  * 68%^8

0.02113 + 0.09947 + 0.21066  =  0.33126= 33.12%

Since its the negation, you need to subtract 1 with the negation

P(X)= 1 - ~P(X)

P(X)= 1 - 33.12%= 66.88%

(c) between two and​ five, inclusive

Same formula as above, but the case is:

2 yes and 8 no

3 yes and 7 no

4 yes and 6 no

5 yes and 5 no

The calculation will be:

2P10 * P(yes)^2 * P(no)^8 + 3P10 * P(yes)^3 * P(no)^7 + 4P10 * P(yes)^4 * P(no)^6 + 5P10 * P(yes)^5 * P(no)^5 =

10!/2!8!* 32%^2  * 68%^8    +   10!/3!7!* 32%^3  * 68%^7   +   10!/4!6!* 32%^4  * 68%^6  +  10!/5!5!* 32%^5  * 68%^5

0.21066 + 0.26435 + 0.21770 + 0.1229= 0.81561= 81.56%

A costumer pays $18 for a DVD that originally cost $20. What is the percent decrease in the cost of the DVD? A.2% B.10% C.11% D.
jonny [76]

Answer:11%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage decrease is gotten with thus formula.

Actual price - Old Price= New price

New price/Old Price * 100/1

From the above question.. $18= Old price , $20= New price

So 20-18 = 2(New Price)

2/18 *100 = 0.11 * 100 = 11%
