Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the park is 6 miles due west of your house, and the library is 11 miles north of your house.

Thus the park and library forms the legs of a right triangle with shortest distance being the hypotenuse (provided there are no buildings in between)

We can use pythagoren theorem to find the shortest distance i.e. hypotenuse.

Shortest distance^2 =\sqrt{6^2+11^2} =\sqrt{197}

We find that square root is 14.03

Thus shortest distance is 14 miles.

If we suppose our position as point A , park as B ,and library as C.

ABC is an right angled triangle

Shortest distance between park and library will be hypotenuse of this triangle.

=> BC² = AB²+AC²

=> BC² = 11²+6²

=> BC² = 121 + 36

=> BC² = 197

=> BC = 14.03 miles

Tara and Levi are trying to decide between homeowners insurance policies offered by two different agencies. AAA Insurance has of
nlexa [21]
Given:
House valued at $ 425,000
AAA Insurance: $0.38 per 100 with a $500 deductible
425,000 / 100 = 4,250
4,250 x 0.38 = 1,615 annual premium

Thompson’s insurance: $0.26 per 100 with a $1000 deductible
425,000 / 100 = 4,250
4,250 x 0.26 = 1,105 annual premium
If an incident occurs that results to damage or loss to their home, the couple shall shell out 500 before AA Insurance can take over payment for expenses. On the other hand, the couple will shoulder 1,000 before Thompson’s insurance take over payment for expenses in the event there is an incident that results to damage or loss to their home.

c. Thompson’s Insurance is cheaper even if Tara and Levi experience an incident that results in severe damage or loss to their home.

The Rockville Employment Agency just placed Howard Jacobson in a job as a junior pharmacist. The job pays $51.2k. The agency fee
yan [13]

His annual salary as a pharmacist is $51,200

There are a total of 52 weeks in an year.

(a) Weekly salary = annual salary/ number of weeks = 51,200/52 = $984.62 (rounded to the nearest cent)

Howard's weekly salary to the nearest cent = $984.62

(b) His salary in first three weeks = 984.62*3 = $2,953.85

Howard's earnings during the first three weeks  to the nearest cent  = $2,953.85

(c) He has to pay the agency 40% of his three week salary which is = 0.4*2953.85 =1,181.54

Howard must pay to  the employment agency to the nearest dollar = $1,182

Which shows how to solve the equation Three-fourths x = negative 6 for x in one step?
My name is Ann [436]

option A i.e. Three-fourths (four-thirds) x = negative 6 (four-thirds).

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We have , The given expression as Three-fourths x = negative 6  , which can be written as \frac{3}{4} (x) = -6 . Now in order to solve this equation in one step , we must notice that coefficient of x must be 1 but it's  \frac{3}{4} , Let's make coefficient of x  as 1 by multiplying both side of equations by 4/3:

\frac{3}{4} (x) = -6

⇒ \frac{3}{4} (x) = -6

⇒ \frac{3}{4}(\frac{4}{3} ) (x) = -6(\frac{4}{3} )

⇒ x = -6(\frac{4}{3} )

⇒ x = -2(4)

⇒ x = -8

Therefore, x= -8 & correct option to solve the equation Three-fourths x = negative 6 for x in one step is <u>option A i.e. Three-fourths (four-thirds) x = negative 6 (four-thirds).</u>

Given a data set consisting of 33 unique whole number observations, its five-number summary is: [19,32,47,61,77] how many observ
Dafna11 [192]

Given a data set consisting of 33 unique whole number observations, its five-number summary is: [19,32,47,61,77] how many observations are strictly less than 32?

Solution: The five number summary denotes:

Minimum = 19

First Quartile = 32

Median = 47

Third Quartile = 61

Maximum = 77

Since there are an odd number of observations (33) in the data set, the First Quartile (32) must be at the (33+1)/4 = 8.5th position, meaning there are 7 numbers less than 32.

Therefore, there are 7 observations that are strictly less than 32

According to the Rational Root Theorem, which is a factor of the polynomial f(x) = 3x3 – 5x2 – 12x + 20?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

3x^3 – 5x^2 – 12x + 20

= (3x^3 – 5x^2) – (12x - 20)

= x^2(3x - 5) - 4(3x - 5)

= (3x - 5)(x^2 - 4)

= (3x - 5)(x + 2)(x - 2)


Factors: (3x - 5), (x + 2), and (x - 2)


Answer:

D.) 3x – 5
