What must be added to: (a) x-y + 4z to get 5x - 4y + 8z?​

Answers

Answer:

4x-3y+4z

Step-by-step explanation:

There are lot's of process to answer it but i will show one easy way to find the answer.

To find the required answer we need to subtract 5x - 4y + 8z by  x-y + 4z, we get

5x - 4y + 8z

-x   +  y - 4z  [Note: while subtracting we must change the sigh that one       ___________who we are subtracting]

4x-3y+4z which is a required answer

Answer:

4x - 3y + 4z

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown value that we have to add be 'a'.

Let us make an expression like this.

x -y + 4z + a = 5x - 4y + 8z

Now make 'a' the subject of the equation.

a = 5x - 4y + 8z - x + y - 4z

Now combine like terms.

a = 5x - x - 4y + y + 8z - 4z

a = 4x - 3y + 4z

Now let us check whether the answer is correct or wrong.

We can replace 'a' with ( 4x - 3y + 4z ).

Let us see.

x - y + 4z + 4x - 3y + 4z

Combine like terms.

5x - 4y + 8z

Yes, we are getting the same answer!

Therefore,

we need to add 4x - 3y + 4z to get 5x - 4y + 8z to  x - y + 4z.

. Rashad is conducting an experiment at his high school to see how people feel about the school dress code. 1. Explain how Rashad could collect data to ensure that it is a random sample of the population. 2. Suppose Rashad has collected his data and has organized it in the table below. Create a visual plot of the data in the table by constructing a bar graph. 3. What is the average view of the dress code? How did you come to this conclusion? 4. The dress code will be changed if more than 60% of the school feels like a change is needed. If 40% of this majority agrees on the same change, that will be what is done with the dress code. Will the dress code change? Do we know which option will occur? Be sure to explain your reasoning.

Answers

Each sample has an equal chance of being picked as part of the sampling procedure known as random sampling. A randomly selected sample is intended to provide a fair reflection of the entire population.

How should Rashad proceed with the random sampling?

Step 1: He should identify and decide which population he wants to study

Step 2: He should decide the size of the sample. He can do this using a sample size calculator.

Step 3: Select the Sample Randomly using:

Lottery technique; orRandom Number Technique.

It is to be noted that the lottery and Random Techniques can be manual or computer simulated.

The sample bar graph for the above sample is attached.

What is the average view of the dress code?

About 48 Students (boys and girls combined) indicated that the dress code is nice.13 said it wasn't nice6 on the average indicated that there were indifferent.

If 40% of this majority agrees on the same change, that will be what is done with the dress code, will the dress code change?

40% of 60% is not likely to catalyze a change in the needed change. A more proper percentage should be 90%.

Do we know which option will occur?

Based on the figures given, 72% of the students agree that the dress code is nice (that is , it requires not change).

This means that it is highly unlikely that any changes will be made to the dress code soon.

A blimp is 1600 meters high in the air and measures the angles of depression to two stadiums to the east of the blimp. if those measurements are 71.7° and 25.2°, how far apart are the two stadiums?

Answers

The two stadiums are 2,871 meters

A blimp    = point A

stadium 1  = point B

stadium 2 = point C

height of the blimp ,  AD = 1600

depression angle of stadium 1 , ∠y = 71.7°

depression angle of stadium 2 , ∠x = 25.2°

distance between the two stadiums  = d

So, it forms 2 triangles  ABD and ACD,

Using the trigonometric ratios,

tan θ = Altitude / Base

DC = AD × tan (90° - x)

= 1600 × tan( 90° - 25.2° )

= 1600 × cot(25.2°)

= 1600 × 2.13

DB = AD × tan (90° - y)

= 1600 × tan( 90° - 71.7° )

= 1600 × cot(71.7°)

= 1600 × 0.33

∴ d = DC - DB

     = 1600 * [ tan( 90° - 25.2° ) - tan( 90° - 71.7° ) ]

how many rectangles of different sizes can be formed from 36 identical rectangles

Answers

The number of rectangles of different sizes can be formed from 36 identical rectangles is 5

Number of rectangles

From the question, we have proofs of;

Total number of identical squares = 36

Now, let the measurement of the side of each square be 1 unit

We have that the formula for area of a square is;

Area of a square = Side × Side square units

We have the area of the square to be;

Area of each square = 1×1 = 1 square units

This is so because the rectangles are identical both in length and width

Let's find the area of the identical squares

Area of total 36 identical squares

=  36×1 square units

=  36 square units

So Area of the rectangle = length × breadth square units

if the rectangles are formed from 36 identical squares then their areas are the same

Total area of required rectangles = 36 square units

It can be written as;

36 = length × breadth

36 = 1×36 36 = 2×1836 = 3×1236 = 4×936 = 6×6

(1,36) , (2,18),(3,12),(4,9),(6,6) are the different rectangles formed from 36 identical squares

There's also people in need, so you decide to blend your vacation with volunteering. Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism, seems like a great way to explore new regions and help people at the same time. However, this "volunteer plus travel" experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference.[2] Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the children you are "helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist...encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."[3] Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town's animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels).[5] There is another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average "voluntour" travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour.[6] In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed-at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use. Whatever you do, don't turn someone else's hardship into your vacation.How does the speaker's rhetorical question in paragraph 2 support the purpose of the speech? It emphasizes the need for willing and wealthy volunteers to bring help to those less fortunate. It highlights how unfair life can be for certain groups of people throughout the world. It reinforces the idea that voluntourism can harm the people and communities it is meant to help. It reminds the audience that there are some who fight the injustice associated with voluntourism.
