To prevent deer from running across highways, researchers are investigating sound-emitting devices that would frighten deer before they reach the highway. As part of the investigation, the researchers set up 20 devices along a two-mile stretch of road. When a deer approached a device, the device would activate and emit a sound. The researchers recorded whether the deer moved toward the highway (positive response), away from the highway (negative response), or did not move (neutral response).

The researchers kept the loudness of the sound constant at 60 decibels. However, they varied the pitch of the sound. There were 6 treatment levels, all measured in kilohertz (kHz): 0, 0.28, 1, 8, 15, and 28. The order of the treatments was randomly assigned.

(a) The control in the experiment was 0 kHz, or no sound. What information is gained by using the control with no sound that could not be obtained if no control were used?
(b)(i) What is one advantage to keeping the loudness at a constant 60 decibels for all treatments?

(b)(ii) What is one disadvantage to keeping the loudness at a constant 60 decibels for all treatments?

(c) The results of the experiment are shown in the following bar chart.
Based on the results, would you recommend using a sound-emitting device to keep deer from running across highways? Explain your answer.

The rate of inflation of potatoes is 0.019.

The rate of inflation of Oranges is 0.019.

The rate of inflation of Ground beef is 0.019.

Inflation is an increase in the level of prices of the goods and services that households buy. It is measured as the rate of change of those prices.

Given:

Here, the annual rate of inflation r (in decimal form) is given by

r = [tex](p_2/ p_1)^{1/n[/tex] - 1

Now, The average price of a  potatoes increased from $0.620 in 2009 to $0.749 in 2019.

Thus, The required rate of inflation,

r = [tex](0.749/ 0.620)^{1/10[/tex] - 1

r = 1.019 - 1

r = 0.019

Now, The average price of a Oranges increased from $0.910 in 2009 to $1.280 in 2019.

Thus, The required rate of inflation,

r = [tex](1.280/ 0.910)^{1/10[/tex] - 1

r = 1.034 - 1

r = 0.034

Now, The average price of a Ground beef increased from $2.251 in 2009 to $3.375 in 2019.

Thus, The required rate of inflation,

r = [tex](3.775/ 2.251)^{1/10[/tex] - 1

r = 1.0321 - 1

r = 0.0321

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that in the attached Geometric Figure (Diagram) which features QR as parallel to NO, if NQ = 12, QR 20, and NO = 35, then the length of QP is equal to 16.

[tex]\overline {QR}[/tex] is Parallel to [tex]\overline {NO}[/tex]; therefore

QR/NO = PQ/PN

⇒ 20/35 = PQ/PQ +12

This is because:

PN = PQ + NQ; which is also
PN = PQ +12

(PQ + 12) x 20 = 35PQ
20PQ + 240= 35PQ ; Collect like terms

240= 35 PQ - 20 PQ

240 = 15PQ; Divide both sides by 15

Since "slope" tells us the angle of the line being graphed, the word "slope" is commonly used in mathematics.

Planar geometry states that all lines have slopes. Any slope can be calculated by comparing it to another line, usually the x-axis. A line's slope, or angle, in relation to that x-axis value is how steep it is.

In mathematics, slope is the proportion of the change in the y value to the change in the x value.

Two perpendicular lines have a slope such that the reciprocal of the negative slope of one line equals the slope of the other. The slope of perpendicular lines is -1 as a result.

The relationship between the slopes of parallel lines can be demonstrated using the formula m1.m2 = -1, if the slopes of the two perpendicular lines are m1, m2.

Like a fraction, a slope works by favoring the rise, up-and-down movement, over-the-run, or side-to-side movement. If a line rose up one unit for every rightward unit traveled, the slope would be a positive one.

We found the value of K is 5 and the root of equation is x = -1/2 and x = -5/2

An equation of second order polynomial having one variable is called quadratic equation. Second order means the highest power used with variable is 2.

We are given, 4x²+ 12x +k =0, k =Z and x = R

the quadratic equation is 4x²+12x+k =0

we know the roots of a quadratic equation is x = - b ± √ (b² - 4ac) / 2a

when the quadratic equation is ax²+bx+ c= 0

Hence, roots of the equation given in question will be,

 x = - 12 ±√ (12² - 4×4×k) / 2×4

x = - 12 ± √(144-16k) / 8

as per the condition given in question, one root of this equation is 5 times the other root.

hence, - 12 -12 √(144-16k) / 8 = [- 12 + √(144-16k) / 8] × 5

multiplying both sides by 8

- 12 - √(144-16k) = [-12 + √(144-16k)] ×5

- 12 - √(144-16k) = - 60 + 5√(144-16k)

- 12 + 60 = 6√(144-16k)

48 = 6√(144-16k)

8 = √(144-16k)

64 = 144 -16k

16k = 80

k = 5

the value of k =5

The area of a square is equal to the side length of the square squared. If the side length of the small square is "s" and the side length of the big square is "b", then we can write the following two equations to represent the area of the two squares:

Area of small square = s^2

Area of big square = b^2

Since the area of the big square is 30 units more than the area of the small square, we can write the equation:

b^2 = s^2 + 30

To find the radius of the circle, we need to find the side length of the small square. To do this, we can rearrange the equation above to solve for s:

s^2 = b^2 - 30

s = sqrt(b^2 - 30)

Now we just need to find the value of "b", which is the side length of the big square. To do this, we can use the fact that the big square is inscribed in the circle, so the side length of the big square is equal to the diameter of the circle. Let's call the diameter of the circle "d". Then we can substitute "d" for "b" in the equation above:

s = sqrt(d^2 - 30)

To find the radius of the circle, we just need to divide the diameter of the circle by 2, so the radius is equal to "d" divided by 2. Therefore, the radius of the circle is:

r = d/2 = sqrt(d^2 - 30)/2

So to find the radius of the circle, we just need to know the diameter of the circle. Can you provide the diameter of the circle in the question?:

The radius of the circle is: r = d/2 = sqrt(d^2 - 30)/2

The area of a circle is π multiplied by the square of the radius. The area of a circle, (A) when the radius 'r' is given is πr2. π is approximately  3.142

Here, we have,

The area of a square is equal to the side length of the square squared. If the side length of the small square is "s" and the side length of the big square is "b", then we can write the following two equations to represent the area of the two squares:

Area of big square = b^2

(A) Bearing of B from A = 72°

(B) Bearing of B from C = 342°

(C) Bearing of A from B = 252°

(D) Bearing of A from C = 293°

Step by step solution:

(A) Bearing of B from A:

= 72° (Given in question)

(B) Bearing of B from C: = 342°

Solution:

As sum of co-interior angles is 180° , i.e.  ∠NBC +∠NCB =180°

so, 162° + ∠NCB = 180°

     ∠NCB = 180°-162°

     ∠NCB = 18°

reflexive angle NCB =360° - ∠NCB

reflexive angle NCB = 360° - 18°

reflexive angle NCB = 342°

So, bearing of B from C: = 342°

(C) Bearing of A from B: = 252°

Solution:

First extend the line AB to any point (let's say "X")

So, ∠NBX = 72°   [BY USING CORRESPONDING ANGLES]

Bearing of A from B = ∠NBX + 180°

Bearing of A from B =72° + 180°

Bearing of A from B =252°

(D) Bearing of A from C: = 293°

Solution:

Bearing of A from C= 360° - (∠BCA + ∠BCN)

Bearing of A from C= 360° - (49° + 18°)

Bearing of A from C= 360° - (67°)

Bearing of A from C= 293°

Important Points for "Bearing of Angles":

A bearing is an angle that is calculated clockwise from the north. A traverse should be regarded as anticlockwise unless differently stated or obvious from the bearings.

The angle between two lines cannot be directly read using a regular compass. By tracking the two lines bearings away from their point of confluence, the angles can be found.

Two angles—an inner angle and an exterior angle—are created when the two lines converge at a place. These two angles add up to a 360° angle.
