A survey is sent out to 500 people asking questions related to the link between religion and sexual behavior at a young age. The survey does not have any tracking device, and the results are sent to a database that gives no indication of who or where the results came from. However, the database is posted online for religion and human behavior researchers to freely conduct statistical analyses. The responses to this survey are
a. both confidential and anonymous.
b. confidential only.
c. anonymous only.
d. neither confidential nor anonymous.

Answers

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the the identities of the survey takers were kept secret, it would be anonymous. If it wasn't anonymous, then people would know who took the survey.

Since the survey results were released online for analyses, it is not confidential. If it were to be confidential, then the survey distributors would have kept the results to themseles.

Answer:

  x = π

Step-by-step explanation:

You want f(g(x)) = g(f(x)):

  3 +cos(2x) = 2(3 +cos(x))

  cos(2x) -2cos(x) = 3 . . . . . . . rearrange

  2cos(x)²-1 -2cos(x) = 3 . . . . . use an identity for cos(2x)

  2(c² -c -2) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . substitute c = cos(x)

  (c -2)(c +1) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . factor

  c = 2 (not possible)

  c = -1 = cos(x) . . . . . true for x = π

The value of x that makes f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) is x = π.

_____

Additional comment

The substitution c=cos(x) just makes the equation easier to write and the form of it easier to see. There is really no other reason for making any sort of substitution. In the end, the equation is quadratic in cos(x), so is solved by any of the usual methods of solving quadratics.

   B.  √6

Step-by-step explanation:

The circles are not tangent to one another. If they were, the distance between their centers would be the sum of their radii: 1 +1 = 2.

__

The center of the first circle is (√3, √3), and the center of the second is the origin. The distance between these two centers is given by the distance formula:

  d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)

  d = √((√3 -0)^2 +(√3 -0)^2) = √(3+3) = √6 . . . . matches choice B

Regina has 3 bags of marbles. There are 25 marbles in each bag. She wants to put an equal number of marbles into 5 bags. Which expression would show how many marbles can go in each bag?

Answers

Answer:

(3 × 25)/5 marbles can go in each bag

Explanation:

Number of bags Regina has = 3

Number of marbles in each bag = 25

So, total number of marbles = 3 × 25

Number of marbles in each bag, if divided equally into 5 bags = (3 × 25)/5

Further:

Solving the expression,

(3 × 25)/5

= 75/5

= 15

So, the each bag has 15 marbles if they are equally divided into 5 bags.

Answer:

(25 x 3) / 5

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to do 25 x 3 to get the total amount of marbles. Then you have to divide that by the amount of bags.

Slope formula

Step-by-step explanation:

What the Slope Means A positive slope means that two variables are positively related—that is, when x increases, so does y, and when x decreases, y also decreases. Graphically, a positive slope means that as a line on the line graph moves from left to right, the line rises.

Last year at a certain high school, there were 56 boys on the honor roll and 150 girls on the honor roll. This year, the number of boys on the honor roll decreased by 25% and the number of girls on the honor roll decreased by 12%. By what percentage did the total number of students on the honor roll decrease?

Answers

Answer:

15.534% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the new number of boys and girls on the honor roll:

56(0.75) = 42 boys

150(0.88) = 132 girls

Find the new total number of students on the honor roll:

42 + 132 = 174

Find the percent decrease by dividing the difference in the number of students by the original number.

There were originally 206 total students on the honor roll. Find the difference:

206 - 174 = 32

Divide this by the original amount:

32/206

= 0.15534

So, the number of students on the honor roll decreased by approximately 15.534%

Hello,

Using function concepts, it is found that:

The explicit equation in terms of x is given by: [tex]y = \pm \sqrt{x^2 + 49}[/tex]The equation is not a function, as there are multiple outputs for a single input.

----------------------

The expression is given by:

[tex]y^2 - x^2 + 1 = 50[/tex]

In terms of x, the equation is given by:

[tex]y^2 = 50 + x^2 - 1[/tex]

[tex]y^2 = x^2 + 49[/tex]

[tex]y = \pm \sqrt{x^2 + 49}[/tex]

----------------------

An equation is a function if for each value of the input, there is only one output.

Testing the input x = 0:

[tex]y = \pm \sqrt{0^2 + 49}[/tex]

[tex]y = \pm \sqrt{49}[/tex]

[tex]y = \pm 7[/tex]

Two output values for one input, thus, it is not a function.

9.) Ezri earns $10 per day plus $25 for every lawn she mows. How many lawns does she need to mow today to earn $135? First, write the equation that fits this model. Let x be the amount of yards she mows. Hurry please

Answers

Answer:

5 lawns

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, the equation is 25x + 10 = 135

Ezri makes $25 for every lawn she mows (25x) and has an automatic $10 per day (10). In order to make $135 we take what she makes each day and set it equal to 135.

To solve, we subtract 10 from both sides to create 25x = 125. We then divide 25 from both sides to get x=5. This means that Ezri needs to mow 5 lawns in order to make $135.

Answer:

C.  a1 = -8

an = an-1 * 5/2  for n >1

Step-by-step explanation:

-8, -20, -50, –125, 625,...

We need to find the common ratio

Take the second  term and divide by the first term

-20/-8 = 5/2

Take the third term and divide by the second term

-50/-20 = 5/2

The common ratio is 5/2

A geometric sequence is

an = a1 * r^(n-1)

an = -8 *(5/2)^(n-1)

We can also write a recursive formula

a1 = -8

an = an-1 * 5/2  for n >1

Let x = j and x = k be solutions to the equation above, with j > k. What is the value of j - k?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  j-k = 13/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula tells you the two solutions are ...

  x = (-b/(2a)) ±√(b² -4ac)/(2a)

The difference between these solutions is ...

  j-k = √(b² -4ac)/a

  j-k = √((-7)² -4(6)(-5))/6 = √(49 +120)/6 = √169/6

  j-k = 13/6

Express b+1/3b-2 with “b” as the subject

Answers

Answer:

b = [tex]\frac{1+2a}{3a-1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = [tex]\frac{b+1}{3b-2}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 3b - 2 )

a(3b - 2) = b + 1 ← distribute left side

3ab - 2a = b + 1 ( subtract b from both sides )

3ab - b - 2a = 1 ( add 2a to both sides )

3ab - b = 1 + 2a ← factor out b from each term on the left side

b(3a - 1) = 1 + 2a ( divide both sides by 3a - 1 )

b = [tex]\frac{1+2a}{3a-1}[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]→a = \frac{(b + 1)}{(3b - 2)} \\ a(3b - 2) = (b + 1) \\ 3ab - 2a = b + 1 \\ 3ab - b = 2a + 1 \\ b(3a - 1) =( 2a + 1) \\ \boxed{b = \frac{(2a + 1)}{(3a - 1)} }✓[/tex]

b = (2a+1)/(3a-1) is the right answer.

2. xy is odd.  TRUE.  The product of 2 odd numbers is odd.

3. x/y is odd.  TRUE.  The ratio of 2 odd numbers is odd, if the ratio is an integer.

4. x - y is odd.  FALSE.  The difference of 2 odd numbers is even.

The length of a rectangle is four more than three times the width. If the perimeter of this rectangle is at least 70 square centimeters. Write an inequality that can be solved to find the width of the rectangle

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the triangle.

Let W represent the width of the triangle.

The length of a rectangle is four more than three times the width. This means that

L = 3W + 4

The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

If the perimeter of this rectangle is at least 70 square centimeters, an inequality that can be solved to find the width of the rectangle is

2(L + W) ≥ 70

L + W ≥ 70/2

L + W ≥ 35

Answer:

6w +8 ≥70

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the width

The length is then 3w+4 ("the length is 4 more than 3 times the width")

Since a rectangle has opposite sides equal, the perimeter would be 2(l+w) or 2(w+3w+4) which would be 6w +8.  If the perimeter is at least 70, that is, 70 or more, the inequality would be

  6w + 8 ≥ 70.  

The units, however, would not be SQUARE centimeters, just centimeters.  If the question were asking for area, the units would be square units, but since perimeter is a linear measurement,  the units would have to be linear.
