C "The commuter dies with tremendous mileage to his credit, but he is no rover."

D "Or they may work in a midtown office and may let a whole year swing round without sighting Governors Island from the sea wall."
Answer 2

Final answer:

The quotations that develop the author's viewpoint about commuters not truly experiencing New York City are highlighted.

Explanation:

The quotations from “Here Is New York” that develop the author’s viewpoint that commuters do not truly experience New York City are:

“Second, there is the New York of the commuter—the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each night.”

“The commuter dies with tremendous mileage to his credit, but he is no rover.”

“Or they may work in a midtown office and may let a whole year swing round without sighting Governors Island from the seawall.”

These quotes highlight the idea that commuters only see a limited and narrow part of the city, and they do not take the time to truly explore and experience all that New York has to offer.

The general form of the equation of a circle is x2 + y2 + 8x + 22y + 37 = 0.
The equation of this circle in standard form is

HELP WILL MEDAL,

Answers

The standard form of the equation for a circle is (x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2 where (a,b) = center of circle r = radius. So let's do it. x^2 + y^2 + 8x + 22y + 37 = 0 Let's start with determining a. We know that (x-a)^2 will result in an x^2 term and an 8x term. Let's square (x-a) and we get x^2 - 2ax + a^2. The x^2 term is OK and we have 8x = -2ax So 8x = -2ax 8 = -2a -4 = a So we now know that part of the equation will be (x - -4)^2 = (x + 4)^2. Let's expand that, giving x^2 + 8x + 16 and since we're adding 16 to the left, we need to add that to the right as well. So our equation becomes (x + 4)^2 + y^2 + 22y + 37 = 16 Now let's work on the y terms. Using the same logic as above the equation to solve is 22y = -2by 22 = -2b -11 = b So (y - -11)^2 = (y+11)^2. And expanding gives us y^2 + 22y + 121 which means we need to add 121 to the right, so we have (x + 4)^2 + (y + 11)^2 + 37 = 16 + 121 (x + 4)^2 + (y + 11)^2 + 37 = 137 (x + 4)^2 + (y + 11)^2 = 100 And a simple rewrite of the right hand side gives us (x + 4)^2 + (y + 11)^2 = 10^2 So the final equation is (x + 4)^2 + (y + 11)^2 = 10^2 Which indicates a circle with a radius of 10 centered at (-4,-11)

5r + 15a = 10.5

Faye bought
oranges - 12
apples - 11
the equation for the amount he spent 
12r + 11a = 11.45
set of simultaneous equation
5r + 15a = 10.5 ---> 1)
12r + 11a = 11.45 ---> 2)
divide by the first equation by 5
r + 3a = 2.1--> 3)
Multiply third by 12

Describe the trend in the scatter plot.


not enough information because the trend line is unclear

positive correlation

no correlation

negative correlation

Answers

The correct answer is C. no correlation

Answer:

No correlation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Scatter (XY) Plot has points that show the relationship between two variables.

Scatter plots use a collection of points placed using Cartesian coordinates to show values of two variables. By showing a variable on each axis, it can be detected if there is a relationship or correlation between the two variables.

Several types of correlation can be interpreted through the patterns shown in the scatter diagrams. These are: positive (values increase together), negative (one value decreases as the other increases), null (no correlation).

In the case presented, it can be clearly seen that the variables have no correlation, because the trend is not that the points form a straight line, but that there is too much dispersion.

So, the answer is:

No correlation.

What fraction of the word, "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" has the letter 'i' in it?

Answers

I guess this is the LOL of the day. It's a very neat question. I had no idea how long that word was. I get 34 letters for the length of the whole word. Of the 34 letters, I thing there are 7 'i's. 

So the fraction is 7/34 <<<<====


The fraction of the word 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious' that has the letter 'i' is 7/34, which is already in its simplest form.

The word 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious' contains 34 letters. To find what fraction of this word has the letter 'i' in it, we first need to count how many times the letter 'i' appears. The letter 'i' appears 7 times in the word. Therefore, the fraction of the word that has the letter 'i' in it is 7/34.

It is important to note that this fraction can be simplified. However, since both 7 and 34 are prime numbers with respect to each other (they have no common factors other than 1), the fraction 7/34 is already in its simplest form.

100% for The Quadratic Formula and the Discriminant practice

1. The equation 5x^2+9x=4, can be rewritten as 5x^2+9x-4=0, where a=5 (the coefficient of the quadratic term), b = 9 (the coefficient of the linear term) and c = -4 (the independent term).

2. No attachment is shown.

3. To use the quadratic formula, the coefficients are: a = 2, b = -1 and c = 10. However, the discriminant, i. e., b^2 -4(a)(c) is negative, therefore, there is no real solution.  

4. You have to use the quadratic formula, with a = 4, b = 3 and c = -10, as follows:

[tex]x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4(a)(c)}}{2(a)} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{3^2 - 4(4)(-10)}}{2(4)} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{169}}{8} [/tex]

[tex]x_1 = \frac{-3 + 13}{8} [/tex]

[tex]x_1 = \frac{5}{4} [/tex]

[tex]x_2 = \frac{-3 - 13}{8} [/tex]

[tex]x_2 = -2 [/tex]

5. Rewriting the formula, so that all the terms are on one side and ordering the polynomial expression, gives: -x2-6x+27=0. Here a = -1, b = -6 and c = 27.  Using the quadratic formula gives

[tex]x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4(a)(c)}}{2(a)} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{6^2 - 4(-1)(27)}}{2(-1)} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{144}}{-2} [/tex]

[tex]x_1 = \frac{6 + 12}{-2} [/tex]

[tex]x_1 = -9 [/tex]

[tex]x_2 = \frac{6 - 12}{-2} [/tex]

[tex]x_2 = 3 [/tex]

6. When the second grade polynomial has all of its coefficients (a, b and c) different than zero, like this case, the best method for solving the equation is the quadratic formula  .

7. When the discriminant is greater than zero, there are two different solutions and when it is equal to zero, it has one double solution.

The discriminant for this case is 7^2 - 4(5)(-4) = 129. So, there are two different solutions .

8. Let's call  the sides of the rectangle a and b.

perimeter formula: 2a + 2b = 54 cm (eq. 1)

area formula: (a)(b) = 176 cm2 (eq. 2)

Isolating a in equation 1, gives (units are omitted):

2a + 2b = 54

2a = 54 - 2b

a = 27 - b (eq. 3)

Replacing equation 3 into equation 2, gives (units are omitted):

(a)(b) = 176

(27 - b)(b) = 176

-b^2 + 27b - 176 = 0

Using quadratic formula, we get

[tex]x = \frac{-27 \pm \sqrt{27^2 - 4(-1)(-176)}}{2(-1)} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-27 \pm \sqrt{25}}{-2} [/tex]

[tex]x_1 = \frac{-27 + 5}{-2} [/tex]

[tex]x_1 = 11 [/tex]

[tex]x_2 = \frac{-27 - 5}{-2} [/tex]

[tex]x_2 = 16 [/tex]

Then, there are two possible values for b, 11 cm and 16 cm. Replacing these values into equation 3 gives:

a = 27 - 11 = 16 cm

a = 27 - 16 = 11 cm

Therefore, the two sides are 11 cm and 16 cm long, despite their names.

Answers

The simplest way would be to use a calculator to evaluate B = arcsin(0.7245) 

If you don't have a calculator, the next, more complex way would be to interpolate a table of sines and find the value of the angle whose sine is 0.7245. That is the method that was most widely used before the invention of hand held calculators and after sine tables had been published. 

The next, most complex way would be to evaluate terms in the infinite series representation of the arcsine function which is the way the sine tables were developed for publication. That series is 
arcsin(x) = x + x³/6 + (3/40)x^5 + (15/336)x^7 + ... 

The result for any of those methods would be B = 46.4° 

Geometrically, you could: 
1) Draw a circle of known radius, R. centered at the origin of a rectangular coordinate system 
2) Draw a line parallel to the x axis a distance 0.7245R above the x-axis 
3) Draw a line connecting the origin to the rightmost point of intersection between the circle 1) and the line 2). 
4) Measure the angle between the line 3) and the +x axis. 

The Angle 4) will be the measure of the angle whose sine is 0.7245. 

That explains four ways you can find the measure of the angle whose sine is 0.7245.
