A company's auditor believes the per diem cost in Nashville, Tennessee, rose significantly between 1999 and 2009. To test this belief, the auditor samples 51 business trips from the company's records for 1999; the sample average was $190 per day, with a population standard deviation of $18.50. The auditor selects a second random sample of 47 business trips from the company's records for 2009; the sample average was $198 per day, with a population standard deviation of $15.60. If he uses a risk of committing a Type I error of .01, does the auditor find that the per diem average expense in Nashville has gone up significantly?

Use addition and subtraction to simplify the following polynomials. a. add polynomials: (3 – 4x + 8x^2) + (–6 + 2x – 5x^2) step 1: rewrite the polynomials without the parentheses. step 2: write the polynomial in descending order and use parentheses around like terms. step 3: add the like terms identified in step 2 to simplify the polynomial. b. subtract polynomials: (3x – 5 – 7x^2) – (–2 + 6x^2 – 5x) step 1: rewrite the polynomials without the parentheses. remember to multiply each term in the second parentheses by –1. show your work. step 2: write the polynomial in descending order and use parentheses around like terms. step 3: add the like terms identified in step 2 to simplify the polynomial.

What is the distance between a and b? round your answer to the nearest tenth. a coordinate plane is shown. point a is located at negative 1, 5, and point b is located at 4, 1. a line segment connects the two points.

Match the following reasons with the statements given to create the proof. 1. do = ob, ao = oc sas 2. doc = aob given 3. triangle cod congruent to triangle aob vertical angles are equal. 4. 1 = 2, ab = dc if two sides = and ||, then a parallelogram. 5. ab||dc if alternate interior angles =, then lines parallel. 6. abcd is a parallelogram cpcte
