Answer:
[tex]\Large \boxed{\mathrm{78 \ units^2 }}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the trapezoid can be found by adding the area of the triangle and the area of the rectangle.
Area of rectangle = base × height = 2 × 12 = 24 units²
Area of triangle = base × height × 1/2
The base is missing for the triangle. Apply Pythagorean theorem to solve for the base.
12² + b² = 15²
b = 9
9 × 12 × 1/2 = 54 units²
Adding the areas.
54 units² + 24 units² = 78 units²

Answer: Hi!
Alll of the follow are true except option 4, which states the absolute value of -93 is -93. This is not true! Absolute value will always be positive.
Hope this helps!
All of the given statements are true except |-93|=-93.
We need to identify the false statement from the given options.
What is an absolute value?The absolute value of a number is defined as its magnitude irrespective of the sign of the number. To find the absolute value of a real number, we consider only the number and remove the sign. It can only be a non-negative value. The absolute value of a positive number is the number itself, that of a negative number is the number without a negative sign, and the absolute value of 0 is 0.
From option (A):
|93|=93 is true.\
From option (B):
-|93|=-93 is true
From option (C):
|-93|=93 is true
From option (D):
|-93|=-93 is false
Therefore, all of the given statements are true except |-93|=-93.

BRAINLIEST, 5 STARS AND THANKS IF ANSWERED BOTH CORRECTLY. 1. What is the 8th term of the following geometric sequence? -8, 24, -72, 216.. A. 52, 488 B. 5,832 C. 17,496 D. -17,496 ---------- 2. What is the 6th term of the following geometric sequence? 2, -14, 98, -686... A. 33,614 B. -33,614 C. 235,298 D. -235,298
Answer:
C; B
Step-by-step explanation:
The direct/explicit formula for a geometric sequence is the following:
[tex]a_n=a(r)^{n-1}[/tex]
Where aₙ represents the term n, a represents the initial value, and r represents the common ratio.
Therefore, to find the nth term, we just need to find the initial value and the common ratio.
1)
-8, 24, -72, 216...
The common ratio is the ratio between each consecutive term. Do two to confirm that they are indeed the same. Thus:
[tex]r=24/-8=-3\\r=-72/24\stackrel{\checkmark}{=}-3[/tex]
So, the common ratio is -3. And the initial value is -8. Thus, putting them into our equation:
[tex]a_n=-8(-3)^{n-1}[/tex]
Thus, the eighth term will be:
[tex]a_8=-8(-3)^{8-1}\\a_8=-8(-3)^7\\a_8=17496[/tex]
C
2)
Again, find the common ratio.
2, -14, 98, -686...
[tex]-14/2=-7\\98/-14\stackrel{\checkmark}{=}-7[/tex]
The common ratio is -7. The initial value is 2. Thus:
[tex]a_n=2(-7)^{n-1}[/tex]
And the sixth term will be:
[tex]a_6=2(-7)^{6-1}\\a_6=2(-7)^5\\a_6=-33614[/tex]

Pranav and Trevon each improved their yards by planting daylilies and ornamental grass. They bought their supplies from the same store. Pranav spent $74 on 1 daylily and 9 bunches of
ornamental grass. Trevon spent $114 on 1 daylily and 14 bunches of ornamental grass. What is the cost of one daylily and the cost of one bunch of ornamental grass?
Answer:
Day lilies and ornamental grass are $2, $8 respectively
Step-by-step explanation:
step one
we need to represent the scenario with a system of equation
let day lilies be represented with x
and ornamental grass be y
Hence we have
[tex]x+9y= 74--------1\\x+14y= 114------2[/tex]
Let us subtract 1 from 2 we have
[tex]x+14y= 114------2\\\\\\ -(x+9y= 74--------1\\=0+5y= 40[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 5 we have
y= 40/5
y= 8
step 2
Substitute y = 8 in equation 1 we have
x+9(8)= 74
x+72= 74
x=74-72
x= 2
Day lilies and ornamental grass are $2, $8 respectively

Reorder the terms:
[tex]-9 + 2x = 5 + x[/tex]
Solving
[tex]-9 + 2x = 5 + x[/tex]
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-1x' to each side of the equation.
[tex]-9 + 2x + -1x = 5 + x + -1x[/tex]
Combine like terms: [tex]2x + -1x = 1x[/tex]
[tex]-9 + 1x = 5 + x + -1x[/tex]
Combine like terms: [tex]x + -1x = 0[/tex]
[tex]-9 + 1x = 5 + 0\\-9 + 1x = 5[/tex]
Add '9' to each side of the equation.
[tex]-9 + 9 + 1x = 5 + 9[/tex]
Combine like terms: [tex]-9 + 9 = 0[/tex]
[tex]0 + 1x = 5 + 9\\1x = 5 + 9[/tex]

What is the sum of the three solutions (find the values for x, y, and z, then add the answers)? 2x + 3y − z = 5 x − 3y + 2z = −6 3x + y − 4z = −8 Show All Work !!
Answer:
x + y + z = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Give equations are,
2x + 3y - z = 5 --------(1)
x - 3y + 2z = -6 --------(2)
3x + y - 4z = -8 --------(3)
By adding equations (1) and (2),
(2x + 3y - z) + (x - 3y + 2z) = 5 - 6
3x + z = -1 -------(4)
By multiplying equation (3) by 3, then by adding to equation (2)
(9x + 3y - 12z) + (x - 3y + 2z) = -24 - 6
10x - 10z = -30
x - z = -3 --------- (5)
By adding equation (4) and (5),
(3x + z) + (x - z) = -1 - 3
4x = -4
x = -1
From equation (5),
-1 - z = -3
z = 2
From equation (1),
2(-1) + 3y - 2 = 5
-2 + 3y - 2 = 5
3y = 5 + 4
y = 3
Therefore, x + y + z = -1 + 3 + 2
x + y + z = 4

Simplify the following rational expression and state for what values they are undefined.
Answer:
d-2 and d cannot = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
d^2 -10d+16
-----------------------
d-8
Factor the numerator
( d-8)(d-2)
-------------------
d-8
The undefined values occur when the denominator is equal to zero
d-8 = 0
d= 8
This means d cannot equal 8
Now cancel like terms in the equation ( d-8)
This yields d-2
Answer: d - 2 and d cannot equal 8
Step-by-step explanation: To simplify this rational expression, start by factoring both the numerator and the denominator.
So factoring the numerator in this problem, we have a
trinomial that factors as the product of two binomials.
So we are looking for factors of +16 that add to -10 which are -8 and -2.
So we have (d - 8)(d - 2) in the numerator.
The denominator doesn't factor however.
So we have [tex]\frac{(d - 8)(d - 2)}{(d - 8)}[/tex] and the d - 8's cancel leaving us with d - 2.
The values d cannot be happen when the denominator is set equal to 0.
So we have d - 8 = 0 which means d = 8.
This means d = 8 wouldn't work!

A function of random variables used to estimate a parameter of a distribution is a/an _____.
A. unbiased estimator
B. statistic
C. predictor
D. sample value
Answer:
A. unbiased estimator.
Step-by-step explanation:
In Statistics, an estimator is a statistical value which is used to estimate a parameter. Parameters are the determinants of the probability distribution. Therefore, to determine a normal distribution we would use the parameters, mean and variance of the population.
A function of random variables used to estimate a parameter of a distribution is an unbiased estimator.
An unbiased estimator is one in which the difference between the estimator and the population parameter grows smaller as the sample size grows larger. This simply means that, an unbiased estimator captures the true population value of the parameter on average, this is because the mean of its sampling distribution is the truth.
Also, we know that the bias of an estimator (b) that estimates a parameter (p) is given by; [tex]E(b) - p[/tex]
Hence, an unbiased estimator is an estimator that has an expected value that is equal to the parameter i.e the value of its bias is equal to zero (0).
Generally, in statistical analysis, sample mean is an unbiased estimator of the population mean while the sample variance is an unbiased estimator of the population variance.
Answer: B statistic

Gavin is selling water bottles at a baseball game to help raise money for new uniforms.
Before the game, he buys 48 water bottles for a total of $18.50. At the game, he sells all of
the bottles for $1.25 each. How much profit does Gavin make?
The profit made by Gavin at the end of the game is $0.87 per bottle.
How to calculate profit?The profit can be calculated by taking the difference of selling price and the cost price.
Given that,
The number of bottles bought for $18.50 is 48 and sold for $1.25 each.
Then, the cost for one bottle is 18.50/48 = $0.38.
As per the question the profit made can be calculated as the difference of selling price and cost price as,
Profit = Selling price - Cost Price
= 1.25 - 0.38
= $0.87
Hence, the profit earned by Gavin is given as $0.87 for each bottle.

To find:
Number of solutions to the equation.
Solution:
First of all, let us learn about modulus function.
[tex]|x|=\left \{ {{x\ if\ x>0} \atop {-x\ if\ x<0}} \right.[/tex]
i.e. Modulus function changes to positive by adding a negative sign to the negative values.
It has a value equal to [tex]x[/tex] when [tex]x[/tex] is positive.
It has a value equal to -[tex]x[/tex] when [tex]x[/tex] is negative.
Here, the function is:
[tex]|x-1|=7[/tex]
So, two values are possible for the modulus function:
[tex]\pm(x-1)=7[/tex]
Solving one by one:
[tex]x-1 = 7\\\Rightarrow x =8[/tex]
[tex]-(x-1) = 7\\\Rightarrow -x+1=7\\\Rightarrow x = -6[/tex]
So, there are two solutions, [tex]x = 8, -6[/tex]

Answer:
1×10⁻⁴ and 9.8×10⁵Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form of writing a scientific notation is expressed as [tex]a.b*10^n[/tex] where a, b and n are integers. Note that a, b and n cannot be a fraction. When writing in scientific notation, the value of 'a' must not be equal to zero and it must not be a 'two digits values' but just 'a digit value'.
Based on the above conclusion, the following numbers are correctly written in scientific notation.
1×10⁻⁴ and 9.8×10⁵
- The expression 10.8×10 −3 is not correctly written because the value of a on comparison is a two digits number i.e 10.
- Also, 0.54×10^6 is not correctly written because a is zero on comparison
- 7.6×10 2.5 is not correctly written because the power is a decimal number i.e 2.5. We must only have an integer as the degree.
