We can see here that the difference in the areas of the polygons shown is: 3x + 1.

A polygon is a two-dimensional geometric object that is made up of a finite number of sides that are connected end to end to create a closed shape.

We can find the difference in the areas of the polygons shown in the following way:

Area of Polygon 1: A = x + 5

Area of Polygon 2: A = 4x - 6

Finding their difference, we have:

(4x - 6) -  (x + 5)

= 4x + 6 - x - 5

Collecting like terms, we have:

= 4x - x + 6 - 5

= 3x + 1

Thus, we see here that the difference in the areas of the polygon is =  

3x + 1

The probability that the student, who ran out of time on a multiple choice exam and randomly guessed the answers for two problems, answered both of the problems correctly is ⁹/₂₅.

Probability refers to the likelihood of an expected outcome occurring out of many possible outcomes.

Probability is computed as the quotient of expected outcome over total outcomes.

The number of questions left = 2

The number options of for each question = 5

Since there are 5 options for each question, 4 of which are wrong, the probability of getting both wrongs is:

⁴/₅ x ⁴/₅ = ¹⁶/₂₅ = 0.64 or 64%

Therefore, probability of getting both questions correct is 36% (1 - 64%) or ⁹/₂₅ (1 -  ¹⁶/₂₅).

Answer: X=3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to find out how much ribbon she has total. Because there are two spools, you multiply 24 x 2. The answer for that is 48. Then you have to figure out how many bows she can make. Each bow uses 1/8 of a piece of yard of ribbon, so you can divide 48 by 8. Your answer would then be 6 bows.

Here are the equations.

[tex]24\times2 = \text{X}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\text{X}}{8} =\text{B}[/tex]

Where X represents the yards of ribbon available and B represents the number of bows that Mari can make.

Complete Question:

Mari makes bows for floral arrangements. She uses 1/8 of a yard ribbon for each bow. How many bows can she make from 2 spools that each has 24 yards ribbon?

3.2 x 10^3  is considered to be a rational number.

A rational number is a numerical value expressed as a ratio between two non-zero integers. If any given number can be appropriately displayed in the form of 'a/b,' where both 'a' and 'b' guarantee integer input, it would signify that this specified number adheres to the classification of being labeled as rational.

As we can see from the given number of 3.2 x 10^3, when we write the number after solving it, we have:

3.2 x 10 ^ 3 = 3 .2 x 1, 000

= 3, 200

This can be expressed as 3, 200 / 1 so this is a rational number.

If in sample of 210 students from district and finds 35 have submitted "box-tops" this year, then

(a) Yes, data provide enough evidence regarding contest which has increased participation in "box-tops" for "education-program",

(b) the p-value is 0.0187.

Part(a) : To find if contest has increased the participation in "box-tops" for "education-program", we conduct a "hypothesis-test".

We use a "significance-level" of 0.05, which means we will accept a 5% chance of making a "Type I Error",

Let Null Hypothesis ⇒ The proportion of students submitting "box-tops" is = 12%,

Let Alternative Hypothesis ⇒ The proportion of students submitting "box-tops" for education is increased after contest,

To test above hypothesis, we use "one-sample" proportion-test.

We will use the sample proportion (p') = 35/210 = 0.1667, as estimate of  population proportion (p).

So, "test-statistic" (z) is ⇒ z = (p' - p₀)/√(p₀ × (1-p₀)/n),

where n = sample size,

In "Null-Hypothesis", the "expected-value" of the test statistic is 0, and  "standard-deviation" of the "test-statistic" is √(p₀×(1-p₀)/n),

Substituting, p₀ = 0.12 and n = 210,

We get,

⇒ z = (0.1667 - 0.12)/√(0.12 x 0.88/210) ≈ 2.08,

Now, we know that "right-tailed" critical value at 0.05 level is = 1.645,

Since, z (2.08) > 1.645, the Null-Hypothesis is Rejected.

So, above data provides enough evidence regarding contest has increased the participation in "box-tops" for "education-program".

Part(b) : We need to find the "p-value" for the test-statistic that we found in part(a),

So, p-value = P(z>2.08),

⇒ 1 - P(z ≤ 2.08),

⇒ 1 - 0.9813,

⇒ 0.0187,

Therefore, the required "p-value" is 0.0187.

Using the quadratic equation, the solution is x = -8 and x = -17.

A second-order equation of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0 denotes a quadratic equation, where a, b, and c are real number coefficients and a 0.

The equation is x²+25x+136=0

where a, b, and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0.

For the given equation x² + 25x + 136 = 0, we can identify a = 1, b = 25, and c = 136.

Substituting these values in the quadratic formula, we get:

x = (-25 ± √(25² - 4(1)(136))) / 2(1)

x = (-25 ± √(625 - 544)) / 2

x = (-25 ± √(81)) / 2

imply them

x = (-25 + 9) / 2 or x = (-25 - 9) / 2

x = -8 or x = -17

Therefore, the solutions to the quadratic equation x^2 + 25x + 136 = 0 are x = -8 and x = -17.

Based on the information in the equation, y = -24x + 648, the TRUE statement is B) Before practice, there are 648 ounces of sports drinks in the cooler.

An equation is an algebraic statement showing that two or more mathematical expressions are equal or equivalent.

The equality or equivalence of an equation is depicted using the equal symbol (=).

Mathematical expressions do not use the equal symbol, but they combine variables with constants, numbers, and values using mathematical operands.

Let the number of ounces in the cooler after practice = y

Let the number of players at the practice who take drinks from the cooler = x

y = -24x + 648

Our calculated t-value of [tex]4.22[/tex] is greater than the critical t-value of 1.684, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean starting salary for college graduates who major in Statistics has increased.

We can use a one-sample t-test to test the claim that the mean starting salary for college graduates who major in Statistics has increased.

The null hypothesis is that the mean starting salary is still $[tex]54000[/tex], while the alternative hypothesis is that the mean starting salary is greater than $[tex]54000[/tex].

We can calculate the t-statistic as:

t = (sample mean - null hypothesis value) / (standard error of the mean)

= [tex]4.22[/tex]

To find the largest number of relief supplies that can be put in each box, we need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 2250 and 144. We can do this by listing the prime factors of each number:

2250 = 2 * 3 * 3 * 5 * 5 * 5 * 2

144 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3

To find the GCF, we need to find the highest power of each common prime factor that appears in both numbers. In this case, the common prime factors are 2 and 3, so we take the highest power of each:

2 * 3 * 3 = 18

So the largest number of relief supplies that can be put in each box is 18. We can check that this works by dividing each quantity by 18:

To calculate the monthly payments for each option, we can use the PMT function in Excel or a financial calculator.

For the new car option:

Loan amount = $31,000

Interest rate (annual) = 7.19%

Loan term = 3 years

Number of payments = 3 x 12 = 36

Using the PMT function in Excel, we get:

PMT(7.19%/12, 36, -$31,000) = $966.59

For the used car option:

Loan amount = $16,000

Interest rate (annual) = 5.89%

Loan term = 4 years

Number of payments = 4 x 12 = 48

Using the PMT function in Excel, we get:

PMT(5.89%/12, 48, -$16,000) = $385.36

The difference in monthly payments between the two options is:
