Hi,
mathematically or on a sketch: (5,-5) is out
5,-5
1,1) D = sqrt(4^2 + -6^2)= sqrt(52)
5,-5
5,1 D = sqrt(0 + -6^2) = 6

Hi,
Just thought the 365 may be a typo.
4,6,8,9,10,10,12,37,40,365
As is: Yes! Good work!!
mean = 50.1
median 10

Hi,
Bob takes 3 hours to paint a room and Linda 5 hours to paint a room
Let x represent the time it would take them together
PER hour is KEY
1/3 + 1/5 = 1/x |Multiplying thru by 15x so as all denominators = 1
5x + 3x = 15
8x = 15
x = 15/8 hrs or 2 7/8 hrs

Hi,
There are 37 bills
Let x and (37-x) represent the number of $5 and $1 bills respectively
Question states***total of the bills is $141.00
5x + (37-x) = 141
4x = 104
x = 26, number of $5 bills. There are 11 $1 bills
$5*26 + $11 = $141

Hi,
Solving the Inequality for x
x-7>-4
x > 3 ||Adding 7 to both sides of the Inequality Sign
Note: solving an Inequality for x is much like solving when there is an =sign...
EXCEPT when multiplying or dividing by a minus number, that reverses the direction of the Inequality sign
Ex: -2x < 4 ||Dividing both sides of the Inequality Sign by -2
x > -2

Hi,
v=9j%2F%28j-8q+%29
The idea is to get the j terms on one side of the Equal sign
v(j-8q) = 9j
vj - 8qv = 9j
vj-9j = 8qv
j(v-9) = 8qv
j = 8qv/(v-9)

Hi, Previously Posted
What percentage of the area of the standard normal distribution is between z = -2.00 and z = +2.00?
two standard deviations from the mean account for about 95.45%
P(-2< z <2 ) = NORMSDIST(2) - NORMSDIST(-2) = .97725 - .02275 = .9545 OR 95.45%

Hi,

secθ= sqrt%285%29
cosθ = 1/sqrt%285%29 = adj/hyp = b/h AND a = 2 sqrt%282%5E2+%2B+1%5E2%29+=+sqrt%285%29
sinθ = opp/hyp = 2/sqrt%285%29
cscθ = sqrt%285%29/2
tanθ = sinθ/cosθ = 2

Inequality for X. No hidden agenda.
10X - 500 < 5,000
determines the maximum number of gallons of water that flow out in a 10 minute period, what is X?
Solving the Inequality for X
10X - 500 < 5,000
10X < highlight%285500%29
X < 550, Maximum Gallons of water that flow out in a 10 minute period
