In 1995, the USPS approximated that they handled 1.8 x 10^11 pieces of mail. In 2010, the
USPS reported that they handled 1.7 x 10^11 pieces. How many more pieces of mail were
handled in 1995 than in 2010?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]1 \times 10^{10}[/tex] more pieces of mail were handled in 1995 than in 2010.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in 1995, the USPS approximated that they handled  [tex]1.8 \times 10^{11}[/tex] pieces of mail and in 2010, the USPS reported that they handled [tex]1.7 \times 10^{11}[/tex]  pieces.

To find how many more pieces of mail were handled in 1995 than in 2010, we do subtraction of the pieces of mail that were handled in both the years.

Pieces of mail handled in 1995 = [tex]1.8 \times 10^{11}[/tex]

Pieces of mail handled in 2010 = [tex]1.7 \times 10^{11}[/tex]  

As it is clear that more pieces of mail were handled in 1995.

So, Pieces of mail handled in 1995 - Pieces of mail handled in 2010 = [tex](1.8 \times 10^{11}) -(1.7 \times 10^{11})[/tex]

=  [tex]10^{11} \times (1.8 -1.7)[/tex]

=  [tex]10^{11} \times 0.1[/tex] = [tex]1 \times 10^{10}[/tex]

Hence, [tex]1 \times 10^{10}[/tex] more pieces of mail were handled in 1995 than in 2010.

(2 points)

Answers

Answer:

Part A;

There are many system of inequalities that can be created such that only contain points D and E in the overlapping shaded regions.

Any system of inequalities which is satisfied by (-4, 2) and (-1, 5) but is not satisfied by (1, 3), (3, 1), (3, -3) and (-3, -3) can serve.

An example of such system of equation is

x < 0

y > 0

The system of equation above represent all the points in the second quadrant of the coordinate system.

The area above the x-axis and to the left of the y-axis is shaded.Part B:

Part B

It can be verified that points D and E are solutions to the system of inequalities above by substituting the coordinates of points D and E into the system of equations and see whether they are true.

Substituting D(-4, 2) into the system we have:

-4 < 0

2 > 0

As can be seen the two inequalities above are true, hence point D is a solution to the set of inequalities.

Also, substituting E(-1, 5) into the system we have:

-1 < 0

5 > 0

As can be seen the two inequalities above are true, hence point E is a solution to the set of inequalities.

Given that chicken can only be raised in the area defined by y > 3x - 4.

To identify the farms in which chicken can be raised, we substitute the coordinates of the points A to F into the inequality defining chicken's area.

For point A(1, 3): 3 > 3(1) - 4 ⇒ 3 > 3 - 4 ⇒ 3 > -1 which is true

For point B(3, 1): 1 > 3(3) - 4 ⇒ 1 > 9 - 4 ⇒ 1 > 5 which is false

For point C(3, -3): -3 > 3(3) - 4 ⇒ -3 > 9 - 4 ⇒ -3 > 5 which is false

For point D(-4, 2): 2 > 3(-4) - 4; 2 > -12 - 4 ⇒ 2 > -16 which is true

For point E(-1, 5): 5 > 3(-1) - 4 ⇒ 5 > -3 - 4 ⇒ 5 > -7 which is true

For point F(-3, -3): -3 > 3(-3) - 4 ⇒ -3 > -9 - 4 ⇒ -3 > -13 which is true

how does the fact that a parallelogram has rotational symmetry demonstrates that opposite side of a parallelogram are congruent ?​

Answers

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is known that a parallelogram has rotational symmetry, rotated 180 degrees about it's center point. Now by definition a parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides, hence it's name. If you were to take a look at the attachment below, you might see the connection.

Rotational Symmetry will make it so that side AB corresponds to CD, respectively AD and CB. The sides will coincide with one another after a 180 degree rotation, so that AB = CD, and AD = CB. Hence, in the same parallelogram, opposite sides are congruent.

Which statement is true about the effects of the transformations on the graph of function f to obtain the graph of function g. g(x) = f(x − 3) + 4

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is D

D) The graph of function f(x) is shifted right 3 units and up 4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets the function be y = f(x)

To shift the graph 3 units to the right, we add -3 to the x term of the function:

Function becomes y' = f(x-3)

Then to shift the graph up by 4 units, we add -4 to the y term of the function:

Function becomes:

y - 4 = f(x-3)

y = f(x-3) +4

g(x) = f(x-3) +4

Hence the correct option is D, as the graph is shifted to the right by 3 units and also shifted up by 4 units

Answer: The correct answer is D. The graph of function f is shifted RIGHT 3 units and up 4

Answers

Answer:

C and E

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula to first find the slope of the line.

The slope formula is y₂₋y₁ / x₂₋x₁ where (x₁ , y₁) is a point on the graph and (x₂ , y₂) is the other point on the graph. Substituting the values into the slope formula will give you 2 as the slope.

Now use the point-slope formula to find the correct answers.

Point-slope form is y₋y₁ = m(x₋x₁) where y₁ and x₁ are a point on the graph and m is the slope. Substitute both points into the formula (separately) to get C and E as your answers.

Which of the following is a result of shifting a circle with equation (x-2)2 +(y-3)2=25 to the left 2 units ?
A.) Both the x- and y-coordinates of the center of the circle increased by 2
B.) Both the x- and y-coordinate of the center of the circle decreased by 2
C.) The y-coordinate of the center of the circle decreased by 2
D.) The x-coordinate of the center of the circle decreased by 2

Answers

Answer:

D.) The x-coordinate of the center of the circle decreased by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(consult the diagram attached below)

Consider a circle

(x - 2)² + (y - 3)² =25

Where (h, k ) = (2, 3) which is the center of the circle.

When we want to move the circle to the left by 2 units, it also means the the center of the circle will move 2 units to the left.

If center of the circle moves 2 units to the left, it means that the x coordinate of the center of the circle will be decreases by 2 units, while y coordinate will remain the same.

Hence the new coordinate for the center of the circle is (2-2, 3) = (0, 3)

The new equation of circle will be:

(x - 0)² + (y - 3)² =25

(x )² + (y - 3)² =25

The arithmetic mean (average) of four numbers is 85. If the largest of these numbers is 97, find the mean of the remaining three numbers.

Answers

Answer: A) = 81

Step-by-step explanation:

Say that the four numbers are a,b,c & 97.

Then a+b+c+97/4 = 85

a+b+c+97=340

a+b+c=243

a+b+c/3 = 81

The average of the remaining three numbers is 81.

What is the average of n numbers a₁, a₂, ..., aₙ?

The average of the numbers a₁, a₂, ..., aₙ is calculated as

Average = (a₁ + a₂ + ··· + aₙ) / n.

Given

Average of the four numbers = 85,

The largest of the four numbers is 97.

Find the sum of all the four numbers

Let the four numbers be a, b, c, and d. Then, using their given average,

(a + b + c + d) / 4 = 85

⇒  a + b + c + d = 85 × 4 = 340.

Find the sum of the numbers excluding the largest one

Let the largest number be d. So, d = 97. Then, the sum of the remaining three is

a + b + c = 340 - d = 340 - 97 = 243.

Find the average of the three numbers

Using the above definition average of the remaining three numbers is calculated as

Av(a,b,c) = (a + b + c)/3 = 243 / 3 = 81.

The required average of the remaining three numbers is 81.
