Answer:
The distance of the midpoint of AB = 4 cm
The distance of the midpoint of CD = 28 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The given information are;
Segment AD = 36
Point C and point B are points on AD such that AB:BC:CD = 2:3:4
Which gives;
The proportion of AB in AD = 2/(2+3+4) = 2/9
The length of AB = 2/9×36 = 8 cm
The proportion of BC in AD = 3/(2+3+4) = 3/9
The length of AD = 3/9×36 = 12 cm
The proportion of CD in AD = 3/(2+3+4) = 4/9
The length of AD = 4/9×36 = 16 cm
The coordinate of the midpoint of AB = 8/2 = 4 cm from A
The distance of the midpoint of AB = 4 cm
The coordinate of the midpoint of CD = 8 + 12 + 16/2 = 28 cm from A
The distance of the midpoint of CD = 28 cm.
In triangle ABC, angle B = 90 degrees. Semicircles are constructed on sides AB, AC, and BC, as shown below. Show that the total area of the shaded region is equal to the area of triangle ABC.
Explanation:
The area of a semicircle is given by ...
A = πr^2/2
where r is the radius. Here, we're given diameters, so in terms of diameter, the area of a semicircle is ...
A = π(d/2)^2/2 = (π/8)d^2
__
The area of the semicircle with diameter AC is ...
white area = (π/8)AC^2
The area of the semicircle with diameter BC is ...
left semicircle area = (π/8)BC^2
And the area of the semicircle with diameter AB is ...
right semicircle area = (π/8)AB^2
__
We can use the relationship between the areas to find the shaded area:
triangle area + left semicircle area + right semicircle area =
white area + shaded area
Then the shaded area is ...
shaded area = triangle area + left semicircle area + ...
right semicircle area - white area
__
Filling in the values for area from above, we have ...
shaded area = triangle area+ (π/8)BC^2 +(π/8)AB^2 -(π/8)AC^2
shaded area = triangle area + (π/8)(BC^2 +AB^2 -AC^2)
From the Pythagorean theorem, we know that ...
AC^2 = BC^2 +AB^2
Substituting this into the above equation gives ...
shaded area = triangle area + (π/8)((Bc^2 +AB^2 -(BC^2 +AB^2))
shaded area = triangle area + 0 . . . . simplify
shaded area = triangle area

Answer:
Step 2: addition property of equality
Step 4: multiplication property of equality
Step-by-step explanation:
=>In step 2, from step 1, where you have [tex] -\frac{y}{2} - 6 = 15 [/tex] , to make -6 cross over to the other side of the equation, the addition property of equality was applied. That would ensure the equation remains balanced. Thus, 6 is added to both sides of the equation.
[tex] -\frac{y}{2} - 6 + 6 = 15 + 6 [/tex]
[tex] = -\frac{y}{2} = 21 [/tex]
=>In step 4, the multiplication property of equality was used as both sides of the equation were multiplied by -2, to balance the equation and also solve for y.

Rearrange the equation so x is the independent variable. -5x - 4y = -8
Answer:
Hey there!
Original Equation
-5x-4y=-8
Multiply by -1
5x+4y=8
Subtract 4y
5x=8-4y
Divide by 5
x=(8-4y)/5
Let me know if this helps :)
Answer:
x = -4/5y + 8/5
Step-by-step explanation:
So to single out x we use the communicative property,
its the moving of numbers and variables to each side of the equation.
So we have,
-5x - 4y = -8
+4y
-5x = 4y - 8
Divide -5 by both sides,
x = -4/5y + 8/5
Thus,
the equation rearanged is x = -4/5y + 8/5.

this squared based pyramid is cut horizontally at a height of 15cm to leave this frustum base area=10cm
Answer:
583.33 cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
From the image attached, the total height (H) of the pyramid is 30 cm, the height of the frustrum (h) = 15 cm, the Frustrum base = lower base = B = 10 cm . To find the length of the upper base (b), we use:
[tex]\frac{b}{H-h}=\frac{B}{H}\\ b=(H-h)\frac{B}{H}\\b=(30-15)\frac{10}{30}=5\\b=5\ cm[/tex]
The volume of the frustrum is given by:
[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}h(B_1+B_2+\sqrt{B_1B_2} )\\ Where\ B_1\ is \ the\ area \ of\ the\ upper\ base= 5cm*5cm=25cm^2\\B_1\ is \ the\ area \ of\ the\ lower\ base= 10cm*10cm=100cm^2\\V=\frac{1}{3}(10)(25+100+\sqrt{25*100} )=583.33\\V=583.33\ cm^3[/tex]

pls i need help 15 points!!!!! The treehouse will be 8 feet off the ground. Peter will hang a rope, with knots tied for footholds. Each knot uses an additional 2 inches of rope. Write an expression for the length of the rope needed if Peter ties n knots and wants the rope to touch the ground. How many inches of rope are needed if there are 8 knots? Explain.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can figure out how many additional inches of rope are needed. If there are 8 knots, 16 additional inches will be needed. Peter would need 9 feet 4 inches of rope, or 112 inches.
The formula for finding the length of the rope needed would be 8+2n.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
112 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Each knot needs 2 inches of rope
There are 2 knots
2*8 = 16 inches
He wants 8 ft from the ground, but he wants it in inches
8 ft* 12 inches per foot = 96 inches for the rope
96+ 16 =112 inches of rope

Hello,
a. The area of region P is the area of the rectangle 1 * e minus the
[tex]\displaystyle \int\limits^0_1 {e^x} \, dx=[e^x]^{1}_{0}=e-1[/tex]
So this is e - (e-1) = e - e + 1 = 1
b. The area of region P is the area of the rectangle 1 * e minus P and minus the
[tex]\displaystyle \int\limits^0_1 {e^{-x}} \, dx=[-e^{-x}]^{1}_{0}=-e^{-1}+1[/tex]
So this is

B. sin x° = y/z
C. sin x° = 10z
D. sin x° = 10y
Answer:
A. z/y
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the trig ratios are; tangent : opp/adj cos : adj/hyp sin : opp/hyp
because tan of x is z/10, z must be opposite
and because cos of x is 10/y, then y must be the hypotenuse
this means sin of x must be z/y

Answer:
158m^3
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's figure out the total amount of water in the tank.
It measures 4.5m by 6m by 8m. The volume of a rectangular prism is V=lwh.
Therefore, the volume is:
[tex]V=(4.5)(6)(8)=216 m^3[/tex]
We are told is it filled to the brim, so we can conclude that there are 216 cubic meters of water in the tank.
We used 58 cubic meters of water, so we simply need to subtract that from 216:
[tex]216m^3-58m^3=158m^3[/tex]
There is still 158 cubic meters of water left in the tank.
Answer:
158 m^3
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of the tank
= 4.5 * 6 * 8
= 216 m^3.
So amount left in the tank
= 216 - 58
= 158 m^3.

Step-by-step explanation:
Open box is in rectangular shape. cuboid that is open in the top
l = length = 30 - (2.5 + 2.5 ) = 30 - 5 = 25 cm
h = 2.5 cm
w = width = 30 - (2.5 + 2.5) = 30 - 5 = 25 cm
Surface Area = 2lh + 2wh + lw
= 2*25*2.5 + 2* 25*2.5 + 25*25
=125 + 125 + 625
= 875 square cm
Volume = lwh
= 25*25*2.5

Answer:
Given that 1 and 4 are vertical asymtotes we have;
(a) -∞
(b) +∞
(c) +∞
(d) -∞
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) For the function;
[tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow 4^{-}}\left (\dfrac{2\cdot x^{2}+13\cdot x+20}{x^{2}-5\cdot x+4} \right )[/tex]
We have the denominator given by the expression, x² - 5·x + 4 which can be factorized as (x - 4)(x - 1)
Therefore, as the function approaches 4 from the left [lim (x → 4⁻)] gives;
[tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow 4^{-}}\left (\dfrac{2\cdot x^{2}+13\cdot x+20}{(x - 1)\cdot (x - 4)} \right )[/tex] [tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow 4^{-}}\left (\dfrac{2\cdot x^{2}+13\cdot x+20}{(3.999 - 1)\cdot (3.999 - 4)} \right )[/tex] [tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow 4^{-}}\left (\dfrac{2\cdot x^{2}+13\cdot x+20}{(2.999)\cdot (-0.001)} \right )[/tex][tex]=- \infty[/tex]
(b) Similarly, we have;
[tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow 4^{+}}\left (\dfrac{2\cdot x^{2}+13\cdot x+20}{x^{2}-5\cdot x+4} \right )[/tex]
We have the denominator given by the expression, x² - 5·x + 4 which can be factorized as (x - 4)(x - 1)
Therefore, as the function approaches 4 from the right [lim (x → 4⁺)] gives;
[tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow 4^{+}}\left (\dfrac{2\cdot x^{2}+13\cdot x+20}{(x - 1)\cdot (x - 4)} \right )[/tex] [tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow 4^{+}}\left (\dfrac{2\cdot x^{2}+13\cdot x+20}{(4.0001 - 1)\cdot (4.0001 - 4)} \right )[/tex] [tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow 4^{+}}\left (\dfrac{2\cdot x^{2}+13\cdot x+20}{(3.0001)\cdot (0.0001)} \right )[/tex][tex]= +\infty[/tex]
(c)
[tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow 1^{-}}\left (\dfrac{2\cdot x^{2}+13\cdot x+20}{x^{2}-5\cdot x+4} \right )[/tex]
We have the denominator given by the expression, x² - 5·x + 4 which can be factorized as (x - 4)(x - 1)
Therefore, as the function approaches 1 from the left [lim (x → 1⁻)] gives;
[tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow 1 ^{-}}\left (\dfrac{2\cdot x^{2}+13\cdot x+20}{(x - 1)\cdot (x - 4)} \right )[/tex] [tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow 1^{-}}\left (\dfrac{2\cdot x^{2}+13\cdot x+20}{(0.999 - 1)\cdot (0.999 - 4)} \right )[/tex] [tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow 4^{+}}\left (\dfrac{2\cdot x^{2}+13\cdot x+20}{(-0.001)\cdot (-3.001)} \right )[/tex][tex]=+ \infty[/tex]
(d) As the function approaches 1 from the right [lim (x → 1⁺)]
We have;
[tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow 1^{+}}\left (\dfrac{2\cdot x^{2}+13\cdot x+20}{(1.0001 - 1)\cdot (1.0001 - 4)} \right )[/tex]= [tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow 1^{+}}\left (\dfrac{2\cdot x^{2}+13\cdot x+20}{(0.0001)\cdot (-2.999)} \right ) =- \infty[/tex]

A. (5+1/2 x)^6
B. (Y- 1/2 x) ^6
C. (5- 1/2 x) ^6
D. (-5 + (- 1/2 x))^6
Answer:
C. [tex](5-\frac{1}{2})^6[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]15(5)^2(-\frac{1}{2})^4[/tex]
Required
Determine which binomial expansion it came from
The first step is to add the powers of he expression in brackets;
[tex]Sum = 2 + 4[/tex]
[tex]Sum = 6[/tex]
Each term of a binomial expansion are always of the form:
[tex](a+b)^n = ......+ ^nC_ra^{n-r}b^r+.......[/tex]
Where n = the sum above
[tex]n = 6[/tex]
Compare [tex]15(5)^2(-\frac{1}{2})^4[/tex] to the above general form of binomial expansion
[tex](a+b)^n = ......+15(5)^2(-\frac{1}{2})^4+.......[/tex]
Substitute 6 for n
[tex](a+b)^6 = ......+15(5)^2(-\frac{1}{2})^4+.......[/tex]
[Next is to solve for a and b]
From the above expression, the power of (5) is 2
Express 2 as 6 - 4
[tex](a+b)^6 = ......+15(5)^{6-4}(-\frac{1}{2})^4+.......[/tex]
By direct comparison of
[tex](a+b)^n = ......+ ^nC_ra^{n-r}b^r+.......[/tex]
and
[tex](a+b)^6 = ......+15(5)^{6-4}(-\frac{1}{2})^4+.......[/tex]
We have;
[tex]^nC_ra^{n-r}b^r= 15(5)^{6-4}(-\frac{1}{2})^4[/tex]
Further comparison gives
[tex]^nC_r = 15[/tex]
[tex]a^{n-r} =(5)^{6-4}[/tex]
[tex]b^r= (-\frac{1}{2})^4[/tex]
[Solving for a]
By direct comparison of [tex]a^{n-r} =(5)^{6-4}[/tex]
[tex]a = 5[/tex]
[tex]n = 6[/tex]
[tex]r = 4[/tex]
[Solving for b]
By direct comparison of [tex]b^r= (-\frac{1}{2})^4[/tex]
[tex]r = 4[/tex]
[tex]b = \frac{-1}{2}[/tex]
Substitute values for a, b, n and r in
[tex](a+b)^n = ......+ ^nC_ra^{n-r}b^r+.......[/tex]
[tex](5+\frac{-1}{2})^6 = ......+ ^6C_4(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......[/tex]
[tex](5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ ^6C_4(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......[/tex]
Solve for [tex]^6C_4[/tex]
[tex](5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{6!}{(6-4)!4!)}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......[/tex]
[tex](5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{6!}{2!!4!}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......[/tex]
[tex](5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{6*5*4!}{2*1*!4!}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......[/tex]
[tex](5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{6*5}{2*1}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......[/tex]
[tex](5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{30}{2}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......[/tex]
[tex](5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+15*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......[/tex]

Suppose a hardware manufacturer is checking its nails to make sure they are of the right length. A quality control investigator collects a sample of 100 nails and measures their lengths, finding that their mean is 2.000cm with a sample standard deviation of 0.002cm. Suppose the investigator knows that nearly all of the nail population produced will be within 2 standard deviations. What will be the most likely upper bound on the length of a randomly chosen nail from all nails manufactured by the company?
Answer:
The upper bound on the length of a randomly chosen nail from all nails manufactured by the company is 2.004 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have an unknown population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and appropriately huge random samples (n > 30) are selected from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample mean will be approximately normally distributed.
Then, the mean of the sample means is given by,
[tex]\mu_{\bar x}=\bar x[/tex]
And the standard deviation of the sample means (also known as the standard error) is given by,
[tex]\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In this case the sample of nails selected is quite large, i.e. n = 100 > 30.
So, the sampling distribution of sample mean length of nails will be approximately normal.
Then according to the Empirical rule, 95% of the normal distribution is contained in the range,
[tex]\mu\pm 2\cdot \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
Compute the upper bound as follows:
[tex]\text{Upper Bound}=\mu\pm 2\cdot \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]=2+(2\times\frac{0.002}{\sqrt{100}})\\\\=2+0.0004\\\\=2.004[/tex]
Thus, the upper bound on the length of a randomly chosen nail from all nails manufactured by the company is 2.004 cm.
