1.) You are one of five people who have been hired to mow the lawn at the local college. Each week, the dimensions of the plot y

ou are responsible to mow changes. The college conducts a lottery, and whichever number is drawn, represents the x value. Your plot has a length which is three more than seven times x and the width is four times x minus 2.
a.) What are the dimensions of your mowing plot? (2 points)

Length: ______________________________________

Width: ______________________________________

b.) What is the area of your plot (remember area = length x width)? (2 points)

Area: _________________________________________

c.) If x = 10 meters, how many square meters is your plot? (show steps)(2 points)

Area: _________________________________________

2.) Factor by grouping: (4 points)

xy − 4y + 7x − 28

Answer:

1a)  Length = 7x + 3  & Width = 4x - 2

1b)  Area = 28x^2 -2x -6

1c)  Area = 2774 sq. m

2.  (x-4)(y+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

1a)

The length given as words is "3 more than 7 times x"

The width given as words is "4 times x minus 2"

The expression for length would be  7x + 3

The expression for width would be 4x - 2

1b)

The area is length * width

Since we already know the algebraic expressions for length and width from part (a) above, we use the formula:

Area = (7x+3)(4x-2) = 28x^2 -14x + 12x - 6 = 28x^2 -2x -6

Area = 28x^2 -2x -6

1c)

Given x = 10, we put this into the area expression we found in (b) above.Let's see:

28x^2 -2x -6\\=28(10)^2 -2(10) -6\\=2774

Area = 2774 sq. m

2.

We can group the first two terms and next two terms and write up:

xy-4y+7x-28\\(xy-4y)+(7x-28)\\y(x-4)+7(x-4)\\(x-4)(y+7)

That's the factored form.

Suppose pieces of chocolate pie served at a restaurant average 350 calories with a standard deviation of 20 calories. Calories h
Over [174]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose pieces of chocolate pie served at a restaurant average 350 calories with a standard deviation of 20 calories. Calories have a Normal distribution due to inexact cutting of the pies. Which graph represents the proportion of pieces of pie that have more than 375 calories.

Answer: The z score is used to determine how many standard deviations that the raw score is above or below the mean. If the z score is positive then the raw score is above the mean and for a negative z score means the  raw score is below the mean. The z score is given as:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Given that: μ = 350 calories, σ = 20 calories, x > 375

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{375-350}{20}=1.25

From the graph, The shaded area represents the proportion of pieces of pie that have more than 375 calories

From the normal distribution table, P(x > 375) = P(z > 1.25) = 1 - P(z < 1.25)

= 1 - 0.8944 = 0.1056 = 10.56%

There are 28.35 grams in an ounce and 2.21 pounds in a kilogram. Miriam converted 7 kilograms to ounces, but her answer is not c
sergejj [24]

Answer: OPTION C.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise it is important to remember the following:

1\ kilogram=1,000\ grams

Knowing this and based on the information provided in the exercise, you can make the conversion from kilograms to ounces. This is:

(7\ Kg)(\frac{1,000\ gr}{1\ Kg})(\frac{1\ oz}{28.35\ gr})=246.913\ oz

According to the exercise, Miriam's procedure was:

 (7\ Kg)(\frac{1,000\ gr}{1\ Kg})(\frac{28.35\ gr}{1\ oz})= 198,450\ oz

So you can identify that she made a mistake.

Notice that:

1. Miriaim multiplied correctly.

2. Butt the third fraction should be \frac{1\ oz}{28.35\ gr} and not \frac{28.35\ gr}{1\ oz}.

A ball is thrown from a height of 43 meters
AveGali [126]
When the ball will hit the ground, the height will be zero. So we need to replace h with 0 in our equation, and solve for t:
0=43-4t-5t^{2}
-5t^{2}-4t+43=0
To solve this equation we are going to use the quadratic formula: t= \frac{-b(+/-) \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}.
From our height equation, we can infer that a=-5, b=-4, and c=43. So lets replace those values in our quadratic formula to find t
t= \frac{-(-4)(+/-) \sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4(-5)(43)} }{2(-5)}
t=- \frac{5}{8} - \frac{ \sqrt{713} }{8} or t=- \frac{5}{8} + \frac{ \sqrt{713} }{8}
t=-3.96 or t=2.71
Since time cannot be negative, t=2.71 is the solution of our equation.

We can conclude that the ball will hit the ground after 2.71 seconds.
