Answer:

That's the Answer for E D G E N U I TY

Step-by-step explanation:

Algebra tiles would not be a good tool to use to factor the trinomial because you would need to drag an x-squared tile, 18 x-tiles, and 80 plus tiles. That is a total of 99 tiles. It would take a lot of time to drag that many tiles on the board and there might not be enough space to hold all of them. You would also need to determine how to arrange all those tiles to make a rectangle. Since 80 is a multiple of 10, you might recognize that 10 and 8 are the factors that add to 18, which would give you the values to use in the X method.

I'll just factor the above equation.

x² + 18x + 80

x² ⇒ x * x
80
can be:
1 x 80
2 x 40
4 x 20
5 x 16
8 x 10 Correct pair

(x+8)(x+10)
x(x+10) +8(x+10) ⇒ x² + 10x + 8x + 80 = x² + 18x + 80

x+8 = 0
x = -8

x+10 = 0
x = -10

x = -8

(-8)² + 18(-8) + 80 = 0
64 - 144 + 80 = 0
144 - 144 = 0
0 = 0

(-10)² + 18(-10) + 80 = 0
100 - 180 + 80 = 0
180 - 180 = 0
0 = 0

I think the algebra tiles will not be a good tool to use to factor the quadratic equation because the equation is not a perfect square quadratic equation.

Notice that the alternative hypothesis is a two-tailed test. Suppose ttest_ind method from scipy module is used to perform the t

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.0512.

Step-by-step explanation:

The p-value of a test is well-defined as per the probability, [under the null hypothesis (H₀)], of attaining a result equivalent to or more extreme than what was the truly observed value of the test statistic.

In this case the output of the t-test_ind method from scipy module is provided as follows:

Output = (-1.99, 0.0512)

The first value within the parentheses is the test statistic value.

So the test statistic value is, -1.99.

And the second value within the parentheses is the p-value of the test.

So the p-value of the test is 0.0512.

I was told that if I had perfect attendance, I would get an extra 4% in my check as a bonus. Therefore, if I earned $960.00 befo

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Your total income with perfect attendance would be $998.40

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to figure out how much the 4% bonus is by multiplying 4% by $960.

But first you need to convert 4% to a decimal so it becomes 0.04

Then multiply it by $960 which would get you $38.40

So the 4% bonus is $38.40 but you need to know how much your total income is with the bonus.

So you need to add $38.40 and $960 which will get you $998.40

The total income with perfect attendance would be $998.40

Pedro cut a sheet of poster board into 10 equal parts. His brother used some of the poster board and now 8/10 is left. Pedro wan

yawa3891 [41]

Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Pedro cut a sheet of poster board into 10 equal parts.

let x be the total sheet.

then, one part of sheet= $\frac{1}{10}$ of the sheet

Now, His brother used some of the poster board and now 8/10 is left.

Therefore, if Pedro wants to make a sign from each remaining part of the poster board.

then, The number of signs he can make= $\frac{8}{10}\div \frac{1}{10}=\frac{8}{10}\times\frac{10}{1}=8$

Hence, Pedro can make 8 signs.

Round 15,680 to the nearest thousand

nekit [7.7K]

To round to the nearest thousand, we check the digit in the hundreds place. If it is less than 5, we round down, else we round up to the next thousand.

In this case, the digit in the hundreds place is "6" and "6" is 5 or more, so we round up to the next thousand.

15 680 ≈ 16 000
