Aging workers of the Neotropical termite, Neocapritermes taracua, develop blue crystal containing glands ("backpacks") on their backs, When they fight intruding termites and are hampered, these "blue" termites explode, and the glands spew a sticky liquid (Sobotnik et al. 2012). The following data are from an experiment that measured the toxicity of the blue substance. A single drop of the liquid extracted from blue termites was placed on individuals of a second termite species, Labiotermes labralis, and the number that were immobilized (dead or paralyzed) within 60 minutes was recorded. The frequency of this outcome was compared with a control treatment in which liquid from glands of "white" termites lacking the blue crystals was dropped instead.
Is the blue liquid toxic compared to liquid from white termites?
Liquid source Unharmed Immobilized
Blue workers 3 37
White workers 31 9

Answer:

Brand A ($2) is more expensive than Brand B ($1.50)  (see below)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you will have to find the slopes of both lines. Slope is y/x, which is the cost/meter or cost per meter.

Using the slope formula:

          y2 — y1

m  =   ---------------

           x2 — x1

Plug in any two points from both lines:

          y2 — y1

m  =   ---------------  = graph 1 (0, 0), (1,2)

           x2 — x1

            2 — 0

m  =   ---------------

             1 — 0

                2

m  =   ---------------  = $2/m

                1

_______graph 2_______

          y2 — y1

m  =   ---------------  = graph 2 (0, 0), (4, 6)

           x2 — x1

            6 — 0

m  =   ---------------

            4 — 0

                6                  3

m  =   ---------------  = -----------  = $3/2 m

                4                  2

Because you are unable to have an exact cost per meter of Brand B, you can use a ratio:

$3  =  $x

2m =  1m

Cross multiply:

3 (1) = 2x

3 = 2x

x = (3 ÷ 2)

x = 1.5

So Brand B is $1.50 per meter while Brand A is $2.00 per meter. Brand B is cheaper.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A rectangular picture frame has a perimeter of 52 inches. The height of the frame is 12 inches.

To Find : The width of the frame .

Solution : Let us take the width of the frame be x . So , we know the formula to find the perimeter of rectangle as ;

[tex]\boxed{\red{\bf Perimeter_{rectangle}=2(l+b)}}[/tex]

Where , l is the length of the rectangle and b is the breadth of the rectangle .

⇒ Perimeter = 2 ( l + b ) .

⇒ 52 in. = 2 ( 12 + x ) in.

⇒ 52 in.= 24in. + 2x .

⇒ 2x =( 52 - 24 ) in

⇒ 2x = 28 in.

⇒ x = 28/2 in.

⇒ x = 14 in.

Hence the width of the rectangle is 14 inches.

The average rate of change of the function over the interval 2 < x < 10 is 5

The function is given as:

h(x) = x^2 - 7x + 8

Calculate h(2) and h(10)

h(2) = 2^2 - 7 * 2 + 8

h(2) = -2

h(10) = 10^2 - 7 * 10 + 8

h(10) = 38

The average rate is then calculated as:

Rate = (h(10) - h(2))/(10 - 2)

This gives

Rate = (38 + 2)/(10 - 2)

Evaluate

Rate = 5

Hence, the average rate of change of the function over the interval 2 < x < 10 is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Ed2021

The missing coefficient of xy² is 972, option C is correct.

Polynomial is an expression consisting of indeterminates and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and positive-integer powers of variables

The given polynomial is 729x³ – 1,458x²y + ____xy² – ____y³

To find the missing coefficients, we can use the fact that the polynomial is factorable using the binomial theorem.

According to the binomial theorem, the expansion of (a + b)^3 is:

(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³

Comparing this with the given polynomial, we can see that a = 9x and b = -2y.

Substituting these values in the binomial theorem, we get:

(9x - 2y)³ = (9x)³ + 3(9x)²(-2y) + 3(9x)(-2y)² + (-2y)³

Simplifying this expression, we get:

729x³ - 1,458x²y + 972xy² - 8y³

Therefore, the missing coefficient of xy² is 972, option C is correct.

Answer:

Slope=2.000/4.000

​ −2.000x−intercept= 22

​  =1y−intercept= 12

​

=2.00000

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    4*x+2*y-(4)=0

 Pull out like factors :

  4x + 2y - 4  =   2 • (2x + y - 2)

Solve :    2   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A non-zero constant never equals zero.

 Solve   2x+y-2  = 0

Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK).

"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.

In this formula :

y tells us how far up the line goes

x tells us how far along

m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is

b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line  2x+y-2  = 0 and calculate its properties

Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 2/1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y= 2.00000

 y-intercept = 2/1  =  2.00000

When y = 0 the value of x is 1/1 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x= 1.00000

 x-intercept = 2/2  =  1

Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is 2.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is -2.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of -2.000 - 2.000 = -4.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

   Slope     = -4.000/2.000 = -2.000

Answer:

undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope between two points, we can use the slope formula. The slope formula is:

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are two points.

By plugging in (5, 4) and (5, 9) for (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) respectively, we get:

[tex]m=\frac{9-4}{5-5}=\frac{5}{0}[/tex]

Note, we cannot divide by zero. By using the slope formula, we get that the slope is undefined.

Answer:

28 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

It says that $42 was 1/3 of her total. So you multiply $42 by 3 and you get $126. You now divide $126 by her weekly allowance, $4.5, and the answer is 28.

1. $42 x 3 = $126

2. $126/$4.5 = 28

3. The answer is Sharon has been saving her allowance for 28 weeks.

Hope this helps!

-Jerc

Answer:

She has been saving her money up for 28 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If 42 is 1/3 of her money, then you would multiply 42 by 3 to get the full 3/3 so: 42•3=126

2. Next, you would divide $126 by $4.50 because that is the total amount of money divided by how much she saved up each week, so: 126/4.5=28 and that gives us the answer which is 28.
