Erik and Nita are playing a game with numbers. In the game, they each think of a random number from zero to 20. If the differenc

e between their two numbers is less than 10, then Erik wins. If the difference between their two numbers is greater than 10, then Nita wins.
What is the range of numbers that will win the game for your player?

Given:
Choose a number between 0 and 20.
If the difference is less than 10 then Eric wins.
Let us x is Eric's number.  0 <u><</u> x <u><</u> 20
If Eric wins. |x -7| < 10
|x-7| < 10 → -10 < x-7 < 10 → -10 + 7 < x - 7 + 7 < 10 + 7 → -3 < x < 17

Taking into account that the number must be given between 0 and 20.
0 <u><</u> x <u><</u> 20
-3 < x < 17

→ 0 < x < 16

answer A radio station located 120 miles due east of Collinsville has a listening radius of 100 miles. A straight road joins Col
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

168.7602 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to solve this problem is by using an equation that describes the listening radius of the station, and another for the road, then the points where this two-equation intersect each other will represent when the driver starts and stops listening to the station, and the distance between the points is the miles that the driver will receive the signal.

The equation for the listening radius (the radio station is at (0,0)):

x^2+y^2=100^2

The equation for the road that past through the points (-120,0) and (80,100) (Collinsville and Harmony respectively):

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{100-0}{80-(-120)}=\frac{100}{200}=\frac{1}{2}

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\y-0=\frac{1}{2}(x-(-120))\\ y=\frac{1}{2}x+60

Substitutes the value of y in the equation of the circle:

x^2+(\frac{1}{2}x+60)^2=100^2\\x^2+\frac{1}{4} x^2+60x+3600=10000\\\frac{5}{4} x^2+60x+3600=10000\\\frac{5}{4} x^2+60x+3600-10000=0\\\frac{5}{4} x^2+60x-6400=0\\5 x^2+240x-25600=0\\x^2+48x-5120=0\\

The formula to solve second-degree equations:

x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} \\x_{1,2}=\frac{-48\pm\sqrt{48^2-4(1)(-5120)} }{2(1)}\\x_{1,2}=\frac{-48\pm\sqrt{2304+20480} }{2}\\x_{1,2}=\frac{-48\pm\sqrt{22784} }{2}\\x_{1,2}=\frac{-48\pm16\sqrt{89} }{2}\\x_{1,2}=-24\pm8\sqrt{89} \\x_1=-24+8\sqrt{89}\approx51.4718\\x_2=-24-8\sqrt{89}\approx-99.4718\\

Using the values in x to find the values in y:

y_1=\frac{1}{2}x_1+60\\y_1=\frac{1}{2}(-24+8\sqrt{89} )+60\\y_1=-12+4\sqrt{89}+60\\ y_1=48+4\sqrt{89}\approx85.7359

y_2=\frac{1}{2}x_2+60\\y_2=\frac{1}{2}(-24-8\sqrt{89} )+60\\y_1=-12-4\sqrt{89}+60\\ y_1=48-4\sqrt{89}\approx10.2641

The distance between the points (51.4718,85.7359) and (-99.4718,10.2641) :

d=\sqrt{(x_1 -x_2 )^2+(y_1 -y_2)^2} \\d=\sqrt{(-24+8\sqrt{89} -(-24-8\sqrt{89}) )^2+(48+4\sqrt{89} -(48-4\sqrt{89}) )^2}\\d=\sqrt{(-24+8\sqrt{89} +24+8\sqrt{89} )^2+(48+4\sqrt{89} -48+4\sqrt{89} )^2}\\d=\sqrt{(16\sqrt{89} )^2+(8\sqrt{89} )^2}\\d=\sqrt{22784+5696}\\d=\sqrt{28480}\\d=8\sqrt{445}\approx168.7602miles

jeka57 [31]
The margin of error can be calculated with the formula:

ME = z · √(p(1-p)/n)

where:
p = sample proportion
n = sample size
z = z-score

In your case:
p = 90 / 120 = 0.75

ME = 2.58 · √(0.75·0.25/120)
      = 0.10
      = 10%

The margin of error will be 10%.

Naomi's fish is 40 millimeters long.her guinea pig is 25 centimeters long. How much longer is her guinea pig than her fish
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The guinea pig is 210 mm longer than Naomi's fish

or

The guinea pig is 21 cm longer than Naomi's fish

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

1 cm=10 mm

<u><em>Convert cm to mm</em></u>

guinea pig ------> 25 cm=25*10=250 mm

Subtract the length of Naomi's fish from the length of her guinea pig

so

250-40=210 mm

<u><em>Convert to cm</em></u>

210 mm=210/10=21 cm

Without actually writing the formula, explain how to expand (x + 3)7 using the binomial theorem.
dusya [7]

To write the coefficients of the 8 terms, either start with a combination of 7 things taken 0 at a time and continue to 7 things taken 7 at a time or use the 7th row of Pascal’s triangle.


For the first term, write x to the 7th power and 3 to the 0 power. Then decrease the power on x and increase the power on y until you reach x to the 0 and y to the 7.


Simplify by evaluating the coefficients and powers of 3.
