Answer:

√41

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the sides with lengths 48 and 52 units, we would use Pythagoras theorem to find the third side. Let that side be t

52² = 48² + t²

t² = 52² - 48²

= 2704 - 2304

= 400

t = √400

= 20

Considering the next triangle with sides t (20 units) and 12 units, again using the theorem

20² = 12² + y²

where y is the third side

400 = 144 + y²

y² = 400 - 144

= 256

y = √256

= 16 units

Considering the triangle with two sides given as 5 and 13 units, the third side (which is part of the 16 units calculated earlier)

13² = 5² + u²

where u is the 3rd side

169 = 25 + u²

u² = 169 - 25

u² = 144

u = √144

u = 12

The other part of the side of that triangle

= 16 - 12

= 4

Considering the smallest triangle whose sides are x, 5 and 4,

x² = 5² + 4²

= 25 + 16

= 41

x = √41

Answer:

y = 4/3x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the slope intercept form of the equation

y = mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y= 4/3 x +b

Substitute the point into the equation

6 = 4/3(3) +b

6 = 4 +b

Subtract 4 from each side

2 = b

y = 4/3x+2

Answer:

The bass fish was the better catch

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  population mean for trout is  [tex]\mu_1 = 12 \ in[/tex]

     The  standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma_1 = 2.75 \ in[/tex]

      The  population mean for  base  is  [tex]\mu _2 = 4 \ lb[/tex]

      The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma_2 = 0.8 \ lb[/tex]

      The number of  trout caught   [tex]x_1 = 18[/tex]

     The number of  bass caught  [tex]x_2 = 6[/tex]

Generally z-value(standardized value ) for the of number  trout caught  is mathematically represented as

        [tex]z_1 = \frac{x_1 - \mu_1}{\sigma_1 }[/tex]

substituting value

       [tex]z_1 = \frac{18 - 12}{2.75 }[/tex]

       [tex]z_1 = 2.18[/tex]

Generally z-value(standardized value ) for the of number  bass caught  is mathematically represented as

        [tex]z_2 = \frac{x_2 - \mu_2}{\sigma_2 }[/tex]

substituting value

       [tex]z_2 = \frac{6 - 4}{0.8 }[/tex]

       [tex]z_2 = 2.5[/tex]

From our calculation we see that  [tex]z_2 > z_1[/tex]

The  fish that was the better catch is the bass fish

Step-by-step explanation:

We differentiate implicitly with respect to x taking y as a constant and we differentiate implicitly with respect to y taking x as a constant.

[tex]\rm \dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x} = - \dfrac{(x^5 + 3yz)}{z^5 + x} \ \ and \ \ \dfrac{\partial z}{\partial y} &= - \dfrac{(y^5 + 3xz)}{z^5 + y}[/tex]

When in a function the dependent variable is not explicitly isolated on either side of the equation then the function becomes an implicit function.

The equation is given as [tex]\rm x^6 + y^6 + z^6 + 18xyz = 1.[/tex]

Differentiate partially the function with respect to x treating y as a constant.

Answer:

x + 1 - ( 4 / x³ + 3x² + 8 )

Step-by-step explanation:

If the volume of this rectangular prism ⇒ ( x⁴ + 4x³ + 3x² + 8x + 4 ), and the base area ⇒ ( x³ + 3x² + 8 ), we can determine the height through division of each. The general volume formula is the base area [tex]*[/tex] the height, but some figures have exceptions as they are " portions " of others. In this case the formula is the base area  [tex]*[/tex] height, and hence we can solve for the height by dividing the volume by the base area.

Height = ( x⁴ + 4x³ + 3x² + 8x + 4 ) / ( x³ + 3x² + 8 ) = [tex]\frac{x^4+4x^3+3x^2+8x+4}{x^3+3x^2+8}[/tex] = [tex]x+\frac{x^3+3x^2+4}{x^3+3x^2+8}[/tex] = [tex]x+1+\frac{-4}{x^3+3x^2+8}[/tex] = [tex]x+1-\frac{4}{x^3+3x^2+8}[/tex] - and this is our solution.

Answer:

p-value = 0.1213  (to 4-decimal places)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

N = 240

mean  = 7.5

s = 1.0

Solution

With N=240 and using the central limit theorem, distribution can be approximated as normal.

Let

Null hypothesis H0, mu = 7.6

Alternate hypothesis, mu not equal to 7.6  (two-tail test)

for

Alpha = 0.1 (two sided)

Z = sqrt(N)(mean – mu)/s = sqrt(240)(7.5-7.6)/1.0 = -1.54919

p-value  

= P(|Z|>1.54919)  

= 2P(Z>1.54919)

= 2(1-P(Z<1.54919)

=2(1-0.9393)     (using normal distribution table)

=0.12134

Since alpha = 0.1 < p-value (0.1213), H0 that mean = 7.6 is not rejected.

Answer:

y = 1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 39).

Let the operation which defines the relation between a and b is O.

Relation between a and b has been given as,

a O b = [tex]\frac{(a+b)}{(a-b)}[/tex]

Following the same operation, relation between 3 and y will be,

3 O y = [tex]\frac{3+y}{3-y}[/tex]

Since 3 O y = 4,

[tex]\frac{3+y}{3-y}=4[/tex]

3 + y = 12 - 4y

3 + y + 4y = 12 - 4y + 4y

3 + 5y = 12

3 + 5y - 3 = 12 - 3

5y = 9

[tex]\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{9}{5}[/tex]

y = 1.8

Therefore, y = 1.8 will be the answer.

The Shaded region is the area of numbers that this equation satisfies.

Answer:

Please see attached image

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to graph the inequality, start from plotting the boundary line defined by the equality;

y = 3 x

You just need two points to accomplish such. so let's use two simple values for x and find what the y-values are:

for x = 0 then y = 3 (0) = 0

for x = 1 then y = 3 (1) = 3

Then use the points (0, 0) and (1, 3) to plot the boundary line.

After this, grab any point on the plane either clearly above the boundary line, or clearly below it and check if the inequality satisfies. For example, you can pick the point (3, 0) which is on the x line, 3 units to the right of the origin, and clearly below the boundary line we just plot.

When you use it in the inequality, you get:

(0)  [tex]\leq[/tex] 3 (3)

0   [tex]\leq[/tex] 9

which is a true statement, therefore, the points below the boundary lie are also solutions of the inequality.

Then the solution consists of all the points in the boundary line we just plotted (and indicated by drawing a solid line), plus all the points below the line, as depicted in the attached image.

Answer:

the percentage of people who have an IQ between 115 and 140 is 16.79%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

We are to  determine the percentage of people who have an IQ between 115 and 140.

i.e

P(115 < X < 140) = P( X  ≤ 140) - P( X  ≤ 115)

[tex]P(115 < X < 140) = P( \dfrac{X-100}{\sigma}\leq \dfrac{140-100}{16})-P( \dfrac{X-100}{\sigma}\leq \dfrac{115-100}{16})[/tex]

[tex]P(115 < X < 140) = P( Z\leq \dfrac{140-100}{16})-P( Z\leq \dfrac{115-100}{16})[/tex]

[tex]P(115 < X < 140) = P( Z\leq \dfrac{40}{16})-P( Z\leq \dfrac{15}{16})[/tex]

[tex]P(115 < X < 140) = P( Z\leq 2.5)-P( Z\leq 0.9375)[/tex]

[tex]P(115 < X < 140) = P( Z\leq 2.5)-P( Z\leq 0.938)[/tex]

From Z tables :

[tex]P(115 < X < 140) = 0.9938-0.8259[/tex]

[tex]P(115 < X < 140) = 0.1679[/tex]

Thus; we can conclude that the percentage of people who have an IQ between 115 and 140 is 16.79%

Using the normal distribution, it is found that 82.02% of people who have an IQ between 115 and 140.

In a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

In this problem:

The proportion of people who have an IQ between 115 and 140 is the p-value of Z when X = 140 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 115, hence:

X = 140:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{140 - 100}{16}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.5[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.5[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9938.

X = 115:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{115 - 100}{16}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.94[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.94[/tex] has a p-value of 0.1736.

0.9938 - 0.1736 = 0.8202.

0.8202 = 82.02% of people who have an IQ between 115 and 140.

Answer:

[tex] -3n - 7 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the linear function represented in the table above, to find what output an input "n" would give, we need to first find an equation that defines the linear function.

Using the slope-intercept formula, y = mx + b, let's find the equation.

Where,

m = the increase in output ÷ increase in input = [tex] \frac{-13 - (-10)}{2 - 1} [/tex]

[tex] m = \frac{-13 + 10}{1} [/tex]

[tex] m = \frac{-3}{1} [/tex]

[tex] m = -3 [/tex]

Using any if the given pairs, i.e., (1, -10), plug in the values as x and y in the equation formula to solve for b, which is the y-intercept

[tex] y = mx + b [/tex]

[tex] -10 = -3(1) + b [/tex]

[tex] -10 = -3 + b [/tex]

Add 3 to both sides:

[tex] -10 + 3 = -3 + b + 3 [/tex]

[tex] -7 = b [/tex]

[tex] b = -7 [/tex]

The equation of the given linear function can be written as:

[tex] y = -3x - 7 [/tex]

Or

[tex] f(x) = -3x - 7 [/tex]

Therefore, if the input is n, the output would be:

[tex] f(n) = -3n - 7 [/tex]

Option (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the red cases sold = r

and the number of white cases sold = w

Total number of cases sold by the winery = 81

r + w = 81 -------(1)

If number of red cases sold is twice of white cases sold,

r = 2w ------- (2)

By substituting the value of r from equation (2) to equation (1),

2w + w = 81

3w = 81

w = 27 cases

From equation (1),

r + 27 = 81

r = 54 cases

Therefore, number of white cases sold are 27 cases

Option (C) is he answer.

Answer:

(4, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

All you really need to do is multiply C's original coordinates with the scale factor. So (2, 2), becomes (4, 4).

Answer:

( 4 , 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

original C coordinates : ( 2 , 2 )

since the problem is telling us to dilate by the factor of 2 we multiply both 2's by 2.

( 2 ‧ 2 ) ( 2 ‧ 2 )

= ( 4 , 4 )

Answer:

[tex]\large\boxed{\sf \ \ \ 404,699 \ \ \ }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

At the beginning the population is 240,000

After 1 year the population will be

   240,000*(1+7.75%)=240,000*1.0775

After n years the population will be

   [tex]240,000\cdot1.0775^n[/tex]

So after 7 years the population will be

   [tex]240,000\cdot1.0775^7=404699.058...[/tex]

So rounded to the nearest whole number gives 404,699

Hope this helps

Answer:

The probability that all three people on the subcommittee are men

= 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of members in the committee = 15

= 8 men + 7 women

The probability of selecting a man in the committee

= 8/15

= 53%

The probability of selecting three men from eight men

= 3/8

= 37.5%

The probability that all three people on the subcommittee are men

= probability of selecting a man multiplied by the probability of selecting three men from eight men

= 53% x 37.5%

= 19.875%

= 20% approx.

This is the same as:

The probability of selecting 3 men from the 15 member-committee

= 3/15

= 20%
