If you are trying to create a garden of potted plants, you would find out how much soil each pot needs/holds and multiply that by how many pots you plan to use. then you would go to the store for potting soil, which let’s say came in smaller packs and you need to purchase multiple. use multiplication estimation to estimate how many bags you’d need.
I know this is a dumb example...sorry this is one I remember from my fourth grade math teacher ahah

Which graph represents the function f(x)=x4+4x3−12x2−32x+64?
sp2606 [1]

f(x)=x^4+4x^3-12x^2-32x+64

The degree of f(x) is 4. Also the leading coefficient is 1 and it is positive

So  as x approaches infinity then y approaches infinity

as x approaches -infinity then y approaches infinity

The first and fourth graph goes up and it satisfies the above . so we ignore the second and third graph.

Now we check the x intercepts of the first  graph

x intercepts of first graph is -4  and 2

Plug in -4 for x in f(x) and check whether we get 0

f(x)=x^4+4x^3-12x^2-32x+64

f(x)=(-4)^4+4(-4)^3-12(-4)^2-32(-4)+64=0

Now plug in 2 for x and check

f(x)=(2)^4+4(2)^3-12(2)^2-32(2)+64=0

So -4  and 2  are the x intercepts that satisfies f(x)

Hence first option is the graph of f(x)=x^4+4x^3-12x^2-32x+64

Paul and jose are trying to measure the height of a tree. paul is standing 19m from the foot of the tree and measures the angle
Nina [5.8K]
The firts thig we are going to do is create tow triangles using the angles of elevation of Paul and Jose. Since the problem is not giving us their height we'll assume that the horizontal line of sight of both of them coincide with the base of the tree.
We know that Paul is 19m from the base of the tree and its elevation angle to the top of the tree is 59°. We also know that the elevation angle of Jose and the top of the tree is 43°, but we don't know the distance between Paul of Jose, so lets label that distance as x.
Now we can build a right triangle between Paul and the tree and another one between Jose and the tree as shown in the figure. Lets use cosine to find h in Paul's trianlge:
cos(59)= \frac{19}{h}
h= \frac{19}{cos(59)}
h=36.9
Now we can use the law of sines to find the distance x between Paul and Jose:
\frac{sin(43)}{36.9} = \frac{sin(16)}{x}
x= \frac{36.9sin(16)}{sin(43)}
x=14.9

Now that we know the distance between Paul and Jose, the only thing left is add that distance to the distance from Paul and the base of the tree:
19m+14.9=33.9m

We can conclude that Jose is 33.9m from the base of the tree.

A population that consists of 500 observations has a mean of 40 and a standard deviation of 15. A sample of size 100 is taken at
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

<h3>The option D) 1.50 is correct</h3><h3>That is the standard error of the sample mean is 1.50</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a population that consists of 500 observations has a mean of 40 and a standard deviation of 15.

A sample size is 100  taken at random from the given population.

<h3>To find the standard error of the sample mean :</h3>

From the given Mean=40 and \sigma =15

For N=100

<h3>The formula for standard error is SE_{mean}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{N}}</h3>

Substitute the values in the above formula we get

SE_{mean}=\frac{15}{\sqrt{100}}

=\frac{15}{10}

=1.50

∴ SE_{mean}=1.50

<h3>∴ The standard error of the sample mean is 1.50</h3><h3>Hence the option D) 1.50 is correct</h3>

Max finds the product 3/7 x 6. Which statement is true?
Mariulka [41]
The correct answer is choice B. When you are multiplying anything by a value greater than one, the answer you get will always be bigger than what you started with.

The reason lies with in the concept of multiplication.

If you have more than one group of something, you will have more than what you started with.

The two solids are similar and the ratio between the lengths of their edges is 2:9. What is the ratio of their surface areas? A)
masya89 [10]
When tow solids of similar shape that is assuming to be a box in this case, having a length ratio of 2:9, we get the ratio of the surface areas equal to the<span>square of the ratio of their edges. This is becaue the surface area is equal to the area of the base (square) which is the square of the side. Answer is B.</span>
