Answer:

(B) set B

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest spread is the range of the given data set.

(A) The given data set is:

84,91,87,77,94,89,74

Arranging the given data in ascending order, we have

77, 77, 84, 87, 89, 91, 94

The range is given as:

$R=94-74=20$

Thus, the spread of the given data is 20.

(B) The given data set is:

89,73,84,91,87,77,94

Arranging the given data in ascending order, we have

73, 77, 84, 87, 89, 91, 94

The range is given as:

$R=94-73=21$

Thus, the spread of the given data is 21.

73,84,89,88,77,91,87,90

Arranging the given data in ascending order, we have

73, 77, 84, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91

The range is given as:

$R=91-73=18$

Thus, the spread of the given data is 18.

(D) The given data set is:

84,89,88,82,91,87,99

Arranging the given data in ascending order, we have

82, 84, 87, 88, 89, 91, 99

The range is given as:

$R=99-82=17$

Thus, the spread of the given data is 17.

Therefore, set B has the greatest spread that is 21.

Which is bigger 0.96 0r 19/20

REY [17]

0.96 or 19/20

0.96 as fraction = 96/100 = 19.2 / 20 5 into 96 is 19.2 and 5 into 100 is 20

So 0.96 is the same as 19.2/20

Since 19.2 / 20 and 19 / 20 have the same denominator, therefore the 19.2 / 20 is bigger than 19 / 20.

So the 0.96 is bigger than the 19 / 20.

a model car is one tenth of the size of the real car the models measures 42cm longs what the length of length of the real car

trapecia [35]

Just multiply 42 by 10 and that gives you 420 , so the real car has a length of 420cm or 4.2 metres :)

Find the eccentricity, b. identify the conic, c. give an equation of the directrix, and d. sketch the conic.

densk [106]

Answer:

a) 10/3

b) hyperbola

c) x = ± 6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) A conic section with a focus at the origin, a directrix of x = ±p where p is a positive real number and positive eccentricity (e) has a polar equation:

$r=\frac{ep}{1\pm e*cos\theta}$

Given the conic equation: $r=\frac{12}{3-10cos\theta}$

We have to make it to be in the form $r=\frac{ep}{1\pm e*cos\theta}$ :

$r=\frac{12}{3-10cos\theta}\\\\multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ \frac{1}{3} \\\\r=\frac{12*\frac{1}{3}}{(3-10cos\theta)*\frac{1}{3}}\\\\r=\frac{12*\frac{1}{3}}{3*\frac{1}{3}-10cos\theta*\frac{1}{3}}\\\\r=\frac{4}{1-\frac{10}{3}cos\theta } \\\\r=\frac{\frac{10}{3}(\frac{6}{5} ) }{1-\frac{10}{3}cos\theta }$

Comparing with $r=\frac{ep}{1\pm e*cos\theta}$

e = 10/3 = 3.3333, p = 6/5

b) since the eccentricity = 3.33 > 1, it is a hyperbola

c) The equation of the directrix is x = ±p = ± 6/5
