Answer:

12.7 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the place values:

12.654

1 (tens value)

2 (ones value)

6 (tenths value)

5 (hundredths value)

4 (thousandths value)

You are rounding to the nearest tenths value. Note that when rounding, you look at the value directly next to the one you are solving for. If the digit is 5 or greater, round up. If it is 4 or less, round down.

In this case, the hundredths value is a 5, so round up.

12.654 miles rounded to the nearest tenths value is 12.7

12.7 miles is your answer.

The nth term of a sequence is 2n2 − 1 The nth term of a different sequence is 40 − n2 Show that there is only one number that is

allsm [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

nth term of a sequence = 2n² - 1

Therefore, terms of the sequence will be,

1, 7, 17, 31, 49, ........... n terms

nth term of a different sequence = 40 - n²

Therefore, terms of the sequence will be,

39, 36, 31, 24, 15, 4, -9, -24 .......... n terms

Since, there is no negative number in the first sequence,

Therefore, out of 6 positive terms of second sequence only one number (31) is common in both the sequences.

If a(x) = 3x + 1 and b (x) = StartRoot x minus 4 EndRoot, what is the domain of (b circle a) (x)?

kiruha [24]

Answer:

$[1,\infty)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$b(x)=\sqrt{x-4}$

$a(x)=3x+1$

Since we want to know the domain of $(b \circ a)(x)$ , let's first consider the domain of the inside function, that is, that of $a(x)=3x+1$ . Every polynomial function has domain all real numbers.

So we can plug anything for function $a$ and get a number back.

Now the other function is going to be worrisome because it has a square root. You cannot take square root of negative numbers if you are only considering real numbers which that is the case with most texts.

Let's find $(b \circ a)(x)$ and simplify now.

$(b \circ a)(x)$

$b(a(x))$

$b(3x+1)$

$\sqrt{(3x+1)-4}$

$\sqrt{3x+1-4}$

$\sqrt{3x-3}$

Now again we can only square root positive or zero numbers so we want $3x-3 \ge 0$ .

Let's solve this to find the domain of $(b \circ a)(x)$ .

$3x-3 \ge 0$

Add 3 on both sides:

$3x \ge 3$

Divide both sides by 3:

$x \ge 1$

So we want $x$ to be a number greater than or equal to 1.

The option that says this is $[1,\infty)$

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

Give an example why option A fails:

A number in the given set is -2.

$a(x)=3x+1$

$b(x)=\sqrt{x-4}$

So $a(-2)=3(-2)+1=-6+1=-5$ and $b(-5)=\sqrt{-5-4}=\sqrt{-9} \text{ which is not real}$ .

Give an example why option B fails:

A number in the given set is 0.

$a(x)=3x+1$

$b(x)=\sqrt{x-4}$

So $a(0)=3(0)+1=0+1=1$ and $b(1)=\sqrt{1-4}=\sqrt{-3} \text{ which is not real}$ .

Give an example why option D fails:

While all the numbers in set D work, there are more numbers outside that range of numbers that also work.

A number not in the given set that works is 3.

$a(x)=3x+1$

$b(x)=\sqrt{x-4}$

So $a(3)=3(3)+1=9+1=10$ and $b(1)=\sqrt{10-4}=\sqrt{6} \text{ which is real}$ .

Define four symbolic constants that represent integer 25 in decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal formats

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

1) Decimal $25= (25)_{10}$

2) Binary $25= (11001)_2$

3) Octal $25= (31)_8$

4) Hexadecimal $25= (19)_{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Integer is 25

To find : Represent integer in decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal formats.

Solution :

1) Integer into decimal - To convert into decimal the base goes to 10.

So, $25= (25)_{10}$

2) Integer into binary - To convert into binary the base goes to 2, it form in 0 and 1 and we divide integer by 2.

Divide 25 by 2 and note down the remainders.

2 | 25

2 | 12 R=1 ←

2 | 6 R=0 ↑

2 | 3 R=0 ↑

2 | 1 → R=1 ↑

So, $25= (11001)_2$

3) Integer into octal - To convert into octal the base goes to 8 and we divide integer by 8.

Divide 25 by 8 and note down the remainders.

8 | 25

| 3 → R=1

So, $25= (31)_8$

4) Integer into hexadecimal - To convert into hexadecimal the base goes to 16 and we divide integer by 16.

Divide 25 by 16 and note down the remainders.

16 | 25

| 1 → R=9

So, $25= (19)_{16}$

Which data set is least Likely to resemble a normal distribution?<br> Look at picture

kicyunya [14]

Answer: B) The heights of girls who live on a certain street in the city of Buffalo

Every answer choice starts with "the heights of all 14-year-old girls who", so we can ignore that part. Choice A describes the largest population while choice B describes the smallest population. In other words, choice A is very general and broad, while choice B is very specific and narrow. The more specific you get and the smaller the population is, the less likely its going to be normally distributed.
