Explain why the conversion ratios used between the SI and imperial systems are not nice, round numbers like those used to convert within either system.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Because within each system, units are defined in terms of others in the same system using nice round numbers, but no unit in either system is defined in terms of a unit in the other system. The one exception is the unit of time, and there, the relationship is a nice round number: 1 metric second = 1 imperial second.

C.2c
D.4c

2. How can the polynomial 6d^4+9d^3-12d^2 be factored l?

Answers

Answer:

1. C. 2c

2. $3d^2(2d^2+3d-4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

A. We have been given an expression and we are asked to find the GCF of our given expression.

$8c^3+12c^2+10c$

Let us find factors of each of our given terms.

Factors of $c^3$ are $c*c*c$ ,

Factors of $c^2$ are $c*c$ ,

We can see that c is the greatest common factor of $c^3$ , $c^2$ and $c$ .

Factors of 8 are: 1, 2, 4, 8.

Factors of 12 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12.

Factors of 10 are: 1, 2, 5, 10.

The greatest common factor of 8,12 and 10 is 2.

So let us factor out 2c from our expression.

$2c(4c^2+6c+5)$

Therefore, the greatest common factor of our given expression is 2c and option C is the correct choice.

2. We have been given a polynomial and we are asked to factor our given polynomial.

$6d^4+9d^3-12d^2$

We will pull out the greatest common factor of the terms of our given polynomial.

We can see that GCF of $d^4$ , $d^3$ and $d^2$ is $d^2$ .

The GCF of 6, 9 and 12 is 3.

So let us factor out $3d^2$ from our polynomial.

$3d^2(2d^2+3d-4)$

Therefore, the factored form of our given polynomial is $3d^2(2d^2+3d-4)$ .

If you pay attention 2 goes into 8, 10, & 12 and it looks like they all have one C. So what do you think it is lol?(:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE HELP ME !!!!!!!!!!The scatter plot shows the trade-in value and private-party value of 10 cars. The equation for the regression line is = 1.1x + 1.37. Based on the equation, which statement is true?

A. For each increase of $1000 in private-party value, the trade-in value increases by $1100.

B. For each increase of $1000 in private-party value, the trade-in value increases by $1037.

C. For each increase of $1000 in trade-in value, the private-party value increases by $1100.

D. For each increase of $1000 in trade-in value, the private-party value increases by $1037.

Answers

In the question, they GIVE you the equation for the line:

   y = 1.1 x + 1.37 .

When you look at the graph, you notice that the numbers
are actually thousands, so the equation is really

   y = (1.1 thousand) x + (1.37 thousand)
or
   y = 1,100 x + 1,370 .

The slope of the line is 1,100 .

Choice 'C' says that, because

the slope of any graph = (change in 'y') / (change in 'x') .

C. For each increase of $1000 in trade-in value, the private-party value increases by $1100.

because when you see the chart when the trade in value goes up so does the private party value. The chart shows 1,000 in trade in value increasing and then private party value also increase by 11,000.
