Answer:

C. -31m⁴n - 8m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(9mn - 19m⁴n) - (8m² + 12m⁴n + 9mn)

Required:

Determine an expression equivalent to it

Solution:

(9mn - 19m⁴n) - (8m² + 12m⁴n + 9mn)

Distribute the negative sign to open the parentheses

9mn - 19m⁴n - 8m² - 12m⁴n - 9mn

Combine like terms

9mn - 9mn - 19m⁴n - 12m⁴n - 8m²

-31m⁴n - 8m²

Therefore, -31m⁴n - 8m² is an equivalent expression of (9mn - 19m⁴n) - (8m² + 12m⁴n + 9mn)

A survey conducted five years ago by the health center at a university showed that 18% of the students smoked at the time. This

Answer:

test statistic (Z) is 2.5767 and p-value of the test is .009975

Step-by-step explanation:

$H_{0}$ : percentage of students who smoke did not change

$H_{a}$ : percentage of students who smoke has changed

z-statistic for the sample proportion can be calculated as follows:

z= $\frac{p(s)-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{N} } }$ where

p(s) is the sample proportion of smoking students ( $\frac{50}{200}$ =0.25)

p is the proportion of smoking students in the survey conducted five years ago (18% or 0.18)
N is the sample size (200)

Then, z= $\frac{0.25-0.18}{\sqrt{\frac{0.18*0.82}{200} } }$ ≈ 2.5767

What is being surveyed is if the percentage of students who smoke has changed over the last five years, therefore we need to seek two tailed p-value, which is .009975.

This p value is significant at 99% confidence level. Since .009975 <α/2=0.005, there is significant evidence that the percentage of students who smoke has changed over the last five years

What key would you use if 10 students chose cartoons

NISA [10]

I am not 100% sure as to what you are asking, but I will try my best. Each key is equal to 3 students, so if 10 chose cartoons, a better key would be 2, 5, and 1. 1 might make it a bit cluttered, but if 10 students chose cartoons and you are using the 3 key, you can draw 1/3 of a box.

A landscaper makes a $2,000 profit in a week when he services 25 lawns. He makes a $600 profit in a week when he services 11 law

SOVA2 [1]

2000 - 600 = 1400
--------------
25 - 11 = 14

100 dollars per 1 lawn.

36 * 100 = 3,600

He will earn $3,600.

Which statements about the factors of the terms in the expression 20 a + 15 a b + 24 b are true? Select three options.

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Following are the true statements

2. The factors common to 20a and 15ab are 1, 5, and a.

3. The factors common to 20a and 24b are 1, 2, and 4.

5. The GCF of the expression is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression is 20a + 15ab + 24b

Now lets have a look at each of the options provided!

1. The factors common to 20a and 15ab are 1, 5, a, and b.

False

As you can see there is no b in 20a term only 1,5,a are common hence it is false.

2. The factors common to 20a and 15ab are 1, 5, and a.

True

The terms 20a and 15ab are divisible by 1,5,a hence it is true.

3. The factors common to 20a and 24b are 1, 2, and 4.

True

The terms 20a and 24b are divisible by 1,2,4 hence it is true

4. The GCF of the expression is ab.

False

20a + 15ab + 24b

As you can see ab is not common in all of the terms hence it cannot be greatest common factor

5. The GCF of the expression is 1

True

Factor of 20 are: 2,2,5,1

Factor of 15 are: 3,5,1

Factor of 24 are: 2,2,2,3,1

As you can see the only common factor among all the terms is 1 hence GCF is 1.
