A poll conducted a week before the school election to the student council showed that Janice would win with 63% of the vote. The

margin of error was 14%. If Janice needs to receive at least half the votes to win the election, can we be confident of Janice's victory?

OPTIONS:

No, because she could receive as low as 14% of the vote.

No, because she could receive as low as 49% of the vote.

Yes, because she could receive as much as 77% of the vote.

Yes, because the poll stated that she will win with 63% of the vote.

Answer:

No, because she could receive as low as 49% of the vote.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Poll suggestion = 63%

Margin of Error (E) = 14%

This means that; the range or interval in which the vote obtained could fall would be ;

Poll suggestion ± margin of Error

63% ± 14%

Lower bound attainable = (63% - 14%) = 49%

Upper bound attainable = (63% + 14%) = 77%

Since, winning actually requires obtaining atleast half of the votes (that is 50%) ; and suggested poll suggested votes could fall as low as 49% ; then Janice can't be so confident of victory.

Which transformations have been applied to the graph of f(x) = x2 to produce the graph of g(x) = –5x2 + 100x – 450? Select three
RSB [31]

Answer:

The graph of f(x) is shifted up 50 units

The graph of f(x) is shifted right 10 units

The graph of f(x) is reflected over the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=x^{2}

This is a vertical parabola open upward

The vertex is a minimum

The vertex is the origin (0,0)

g(x)=-5x^{2}+100x-450

This is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

The first thing to note is that fx) is a parabola that opens up and g(x) opens down, so a reflection across the x-axis must have been applied.

Find the vertex of g(x)

Convert to vertex form

g(x)=-5x^{2}+100x-450

Complete the square

g(x)=-5(x^{2}-20x)-450

g(x)=-5(x^{2}-20x+100)-450+500

g(x)=-5(x^{2}-20x+100)+50

g(x)=-5(x-10)^{2}+50

The vertex is the point (10,50)

so

To translate the vertex of (0,0) to (10,50)

The rule of the translation is

(x,y) ------> (x+10,y+50)

That means ----> The translation is 10 units at right and 50 units up

therefore

The transformations are

The graph of f(x) is shifted up 50 units

The graph of f(x) is shifted right 10 units

The graph of f(x) is reflected over the x-axis

How high is the stack of the two books? novel and 3/4 inches and dicitonary 41/2
sergejj [24]
3/4 + 4 1/2 = 5 1/4

If you mean that the dictionary is 41/2 then the answer = 3/4 + 20 1/2 = 21 1/4. That's a big diction though and not likely measured correctly.

Segments in Circles<br><br><br> TW=3, CW=x, TU=x+7, VW=6. Find the value of x.
Kryger [21]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram is attached below

  • TW=3
  • CW=x
  • TU=x+7
  • VW=6

TU=TW+WU

x+7=3+WU

WU=x+7-3

WU=x+4

To determine the value of x, we apply the theorem of intersecting chords.

TW X WU = CW X WV

x(x+4)=6 \times x\\x^2+4x=6x\\x^2=6x-4x\\x^2=2x\\$Divide both sides by x\\x=2
