What is Szymborska's overall opinion of humanity in "A Contribution to Statistics?" Support your response with at least two details or quotes from the poem.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Szymborska's overall opinion of humanity in "A Contribution to Statistics" is overall positive

Step-by-step explanation:

Szymborska is a poet who likes to comment on society with irony and sarcasm.One example of this is when she splits people into categories in her poem “A Contribution to Statistics”. Here Szymborska’s overall opinion of humanity may seem negative due to her bluntness and dry humor. For example, she says in the tenth stanza, “cruel when forced by circumstances -better not to know even ballpark figures.” It’s implied in this line that most people (maybe even all)are cruel or can be. She also says, “taking only things from life -thirty”which comments how lots of people are selfish. However, this seemingly cynical poem takes a sweeter turn near the end with statistics like, “worthy of compassion - ninety-nine” and “mortal- a hundred out of a hundred.” These lines reveal that even though Szymborska believes that humanity is extremely flawed the mass majority of us deserve and are worthy of love. Plus the fact that we’re all mortal may seem dark but the fact remains that both the righteous and the sinners will all end up in the same place. The fact that no one can escape

death gives humans equality in a way. Szymborska’s overall opinion of humanity turned out to be more optimistic after all.

logarithm equation. Show the steps to solve. 400/1+e^-x=350

Answers

400 / ( 1 + e^(-x)) = 350

tan C

cos C

tan A

sin A

Answers

The correct answer is tan A

Answer:

tan A

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the notation SOH CAH TOA

sin = opp/hyp

cos = adj/hyp

tan = opp/adj

from the triangle,

hyp = 13 while opp and adj are 12 and 5 respectively

therefore, the ratio 12:5

= tan = opp/adj = 12/5

A projectile is thrown upward so that its distance above the ground after t seconds is given by the function h(t) = -16t2 + 640t. After how many seconds does the projectile take to reach its maximum height? Show your work for full credit.

Answers

It would only be 1 second.

h(1)=−16(1^2)+(640)(1)

After simplification, the answer would be h = 624.

If you substituted 2 for t, you would see that h would get smaller. Each time you increased t, h would get smaller.



Laura is baking a cake. The recipe says that she has to mix 64 grams of chocolate powder to the flour. Laura knows that 1 cup of that particular chocolate powder has a mass of 128 grams. She added two over three of a cup of chocolate powder to the flour. Should Laura add more chocolate powder to make the exact recipe or did she go over and by what amount?

She went over by one over three of a cup

She needs to add one over three of a cup

She needs to add one over six of a cup

She went over by one over six of a cup

Answers

The answer is She went over by one over six of a cup

1 cup of that particular chocolate powder has a mass of 128 grams: 1c = 128g

64 grams of chocolate powder is x cups.
1c = 128g
x = 64g

1c : 128 g = x : 64g
x = 1c : 128 g * 64 g
x = 0.5 c
64 grams of chocolate powder is 0.5 cups = 1/2 cups

She added two over three of a cup of chocolate powder: 2/3 cups

She need to add 1/2 cups: 1/2 = 3/6 cups
She added 2/3 cups: 2/3 = 4/6 cups

So she added 4/6 - 3/6 = 1/6 cups more.

The product of a number and 3, increased by 5, is 7 less than twice the number. which equation can be used to find this number, n?

Answers

The equation is: 3n + 5 = 2n - 7

The equation which can determine the number n for the given condition is 3n + 5 = 2n - 7 and that number will be -12.

How to form an equation?

Determine the known quantities and designate the unknown quantity as a variable while trying to set up or construct a linear equation to fit a real-world application.

Given that,

The product of a number and 3 = 3n

Increased by 5 = 3n + 5

7 less than twice the number = 2n - 7

Therefore,

3n + 5 = 2n - 7

3n - 2n = -7 - 5

n = -12

Hence "The equation which can determine the number n for the given condition is 3n + 5 = 2n - 7 and that number will be -12".

Evaluate the function rule for the given value.
y = 8 ∙ 3^x for x = 4

A: 96
B: 1944
C: 647
D: 648

Answers

For x = 4, then it means 3 to the fourth power or 3 times 3 times 3 times 3 times 3.  3^4 = 81 and 8 times that is 648.

y(x) = 8 * 3^x where x = 4:

y(x) = 8 * 3^4 = 8 * 81
y(x) = 648

The Function Rule then being that for every value of x there is one and only one value of y. y is the dependent variable and x is the independent variable.

Here is the answer to the given question above. So based on the given equality, W > y+h / P
So in order to solve this, let us eliminate the denominator by multiplying both sides by P so we get Wp > y + H. So to get the value of H, we are going to transfer y and it would look like this. Wp - y > H. So this is the final answer. Hope this helps.

Which polynomial expression represents the area of the outermost square tile, shown below?

A square shaped tile with length x plus three is shown

x2 + 6x + 6

x2 + 9x + 6

x2 + 6x + 9

x2 − 6x + 9

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is C,  "x2 + 6x + 9."

Step-by-step explanation:

I just got it correct on the test.

Final answer:

To find the area of a square tile with sides of length x + 3, we square the binomial, resulting in the polynomial expression x² + 6x + 9, which represents the area of the square tile.

Explanation:

The question asks which polynomial expression represents the area of a square tile with sides of length x + 3. To find the area of a square, you multiply the length of one side by itself. In this case, the length of each side of the square is (x + 3), so the area of the square is (x + 3)(x + 3), or (x + 3)².

To expand this expression, we use the formula for squaring a binomial: (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b². Applying this formula to our expression, we get:

a = x

b = 3

(x + 3)² = x² + 2(3)x + 3²

(x + 3)² = x² + 6x + 9

Therefore, the correct polynomial expression that represents the area of the square tile is x² + 6x + 9.
