Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding Atomic Mass Number

The atomic mass number, also known as the mass number, is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atomic nucleus. It is always a whole number because protons and neutrons are discrete particles.

Step 2: Relation to Isotopes

An isotope of an element is defined by its number of protons (which is the same for all isotopes of an element) and its number of neutrons (which can vary among isotopes). Therefore, the atomic mass number is specific to a particular isotope of an element, as it reflects the total number of protons and neutrons in that isotope.

Final Answer

The statement is \(\boxed{\text{True}}\).

What is wrong with the following formula? S^2 = sqrt((sum X^2 - (2x)^2 / N) / N) The symbol S^2 indicates the sample variance, but the formula indicates the sample standard deviation. The symbol S^2 indicates the estimated population variance, but the formula indicates the estimated population standard deviation. There is nothing wrong with the formula.

ASSESS Chapter 8 Quiz Question 5 of 5 The figure at right shows a production possibilities curve (PPC) for Joe. He can spend his time making pizzas or chocolate cakes. Using the information in the figure, calculate Joe's opportunity cost of producing one pizza and his opportunity cost of producing one chocolate cake. Remember that the opportunity cost is how much of one good must be given up to produce one more unit of the other good. Joe's opportunity cost of producing one pizza is chocolate cake(s). (Round your response to one decimal place.) Joe's opportunity cost of producing one chocolate cake is pizza(s). (Round your response to one decimal place.) Joe's friend Samantha also makes pizzas and chocolate cakes. The figure at right shows the PPC for Samantha. Using the information in the figure, calculate Samantha's opportunity cost of producing one pizza and her opportunity cost of producing one chocolate cake. Samantha's opportunity cost of producing one pizza is chocolate cake(s). (Round your response to one decimal place.) Samantha's opportunity cost of producing one chocolate cake is pizza(s). (Round your response to one decimal place.) Samantha's little brother Rahul is also able to make pizzas or chocolate cakes, and he is equally good at each. His opportunity cost of producing either pizza or cake is one unit of the other good.

Leah, age 8, is teased at school for being overweight and she's self-conscious about her body image. How can Leah's parents best support her in losing weight? Packing her lunch, so she does not eat unhealthy school lunches. Joining her on a calorie-restrictive diet plan. Purchasing cute "goal" clothing she can fit into if she loses weight to incentivize weight loss. Encouraging physical play and joining her in increasing physical activity.

Determine whether the following function is a polynomial function. If the function is a polynomial function, state its degree. If it is not, tell why not. Write the polynomial in standard form. Then identify the leading term and the constant term. F(x)=4 x^6-π x^4+1/2 Determine whether F(x) is a polynomial or not. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. A. It is a polynomial of degree . (Type an integer or a fraction.) B. It is not a polynomial because the variable x is raised to the (Type an integer or a fraction.) power, which is not a nonnegative integer. C. It is not a polynomial because the function is the ratio of two distinct polynomials, and the polynomial in the denominator is of positive degree. Write the polynomial in standard form. Then identify the leading term and the constant term. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. A. The polynomial in standard form is F(x)= with the leading term (Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the expressions.) and the constant . B. The function is not a polynomial.
