Answer:
Polygon is pentagon
Step-by-step explanation:
In a regular polygon each angle is equal.
In a regular polygon Each angle of polygon is given by (2n-4)90/n
where n is the number of sides of the polygon
given
An interior angle of a regular polygon has a measure of 108°.
(2n-4)90/n = 108
=> 180n - 360 = 108n
=> 180n-108n= 360
=> 72n = 360
=> n = 360/72 = 5
Thus, polygon has 5 sides
and we know that regular polygon which has 5 sides is called pentagon.
Thus, Polygon is pentagon

Step-by-step explanation:
(a) There will not be an Euler path if the number of odd vertices is not 0 or 2. Here, the graph has exactly two odd vertices: A and C.
__
(b) We are required to produce a path of the form {A, _, _, D, B, _, D, _}.
Starting at A, there is only one way to get to node D as the 4th node on the path: via C and E. Node B must follow. From B, there is exactly one way to cover the remaining three edges that have not been traversed so far.
The Euler path meeting the requirements is ...
A C E D B A D C

Determine what type of study is described. Explain. Researchers wanted to determine whether there was an association between high blood pressure and the suppression of emotions. The researchers looked at 1800 adults enrolled in a Health Initiative Observational Study. Each person was interviewed and asked about their response to emotions. In particular they were asked whether their tendency was to express or to hold in anger and other emotions. The degree of suppression of emotions was rated on a scale of 1 to 10. Each person's blood pressure was also measured. The researchers analyzed the results to determine whether there was an association between high blood pressure and the suppression of emotions.
Answer:
Experimental Study
Step-by-step explanation:
In an experimental study, the researchers involve always produce and intervention (in this case they were asked whether their tendency was to express or to hold in anger and other emotions. The degree of suppression of emotions was rated on a scale of 1 to 10) and study the effects taking measurements.
These studies are usually randomized ie subjects are group by chance.
As opposed to observation studies, where the researchers only measures what was observed, seen or hear without any intervention on their parts.

Estimate the area under the graph of f(x)=2x^2-12x+22 over the interval [0,2] using four approximating rectangles and right endpoints.
Answer:
The right Riemann sum is 21.5.
The left Riemann sum is 29.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
The right Riemann sum (also known as the right endpoint approximation) uses the right endpoints of a sub-interval:
[tex]\int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx\approx\Delta{x}\left(f(x_1)+f(x_2)+f(x_3)+...+f(x_{n-1})+f(x_{n})\right)[/tex], where [tex]\Delta{x}=\frac{b-a}{n}[/tex].
To find the Riemann sum for [tex]\int_{0}^{2}\left(2 x^{2} - 12 x + 22\right)\ dx[/tex] with 4 rectangles, using right endpoints you must:
We have that a = 0, b = 2, n = 4. Therefore, [tex]\Delta{x}=\frac{2-0}{4}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex].
Divide the interval [0,2] into n = 4 sub-intervals of length [tex]\Delta{x}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]:
[tex]\left[0, \frac{1}{2}\right], \left[\frac{1}{2}, 1\right], \left[1, \frac{3}{2}\right], \left[\frac{3}{2}, 2\right][/tex]
Now, we just evaluate the function at the right endpoints:
[tex]f\left(x_{1}\right)=f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=\frac{33}{2}=16.5\\\\f\left(x_{2}\right)=f\left(1\right)=12\\\\f\left(x_{3}\right)=f\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)=\frac{17}{2}=8.5\\\\f\left(x_{4}\right)=f(b)=f\left(2\right)=6[/tex]
Finally, just sum up the above values and multiply by [tex]\Delta{x}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]:
[tex]\frac{1}{2}(16.5+12+8.5+6)=21.5[/tex]
The left Riemann sum (also known as the left endpoint approximation) uses the left endpoints of a sub-interval:
[tex]\int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx\approx\Delta{x}\left(f(x_0)+f(x_1)+2f(x_2)+...+f(x_{n-2})+f(x_{n-1})\right)[/tex], where [tex]\Delta{x}=\frac{b-a}{n}[/tex].
To find the Riemann sum for [tex]\int_{0}^{2}\left(2 x^{2} - 12 x + 22\right)\ dx[/tex] with 4 rectangles, using left endpoints you must:
We have that a = 0, b = 2, n = 4. Therefore, [tex]\Delta{x}=\frac{2-0}{4}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex].
Divide the interval [0,2] into n = 4 sub-intervals of length [tex]\Delta{x}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]:
[tex]\left[0, \frac{1}{2}\right], \left[\frac{1}{2}, 1\right], \left[1, \frac{3}{2}\right], \left[\frac{3}{2}, 2\right][/tex]
Now, we just evaluate the function at the left endpoints:
[tex]f\left(x_{0}\right)=f(a)=f\left(0\right)=22\\\\f\left(x_{1}\right)=f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=\frac{33}{2}=16.5\\\\f\left(x_{2}\right)=f\left(1\\\right)=12\\\\f\left(x_{3}\right)=f\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)=\frac{17}{2}=8.5[/tex]
Finally, just sum up the above values and multiply by [tex]\Delta{x}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]:
[tex]\frac{1}{2}(22+16.5+12+8.5)=29.5[/tex]

The number of degrees of freedom for the appropriate chi-square distribution in a test of independence is a. k – 1. b. A chi-square distribution is not used. c. number of rows minus 1 times number of columns minus 1. d. n – 1.
Answer:
Option C
Step-by-step explanation:
The chi square test of independence is used to determine if there is a significant association between two categorical variables from a population.
It tests the claim that the row and column variables are independent of each other.
The degrees of freedom for the chi-square are calculated using the following formula: df = (r-1) (c-1) where r is the number of rows and c is the number of columns.
Betty tabulated the miles-per-gallon values for her car as 26.5, 28, 30.2, 29.6, 32.3, and 24.7. She wants to construct the 95% two-sided confidence interval. Which value should Betty use for the value of t* to construct the confidence interval?
Answer:
Betty should use T = 2.571 to construct the confidence interval
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 6 - 1 = 5
95% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 5 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 2.571
Betty should use T = 2.571 to construct the confidence interval

A child is playing games with empty soda cups. There are three sizes: small, medium, and large. After some experimentation
she discovered she was able to measure out 160 ounces in the following ways:
1) 2 small, 2 medium, 4 large
2) 2 small, 6 medium, 1 large
3) 5 small, 1 medium, 3 large
Determine the size of the cups.
Answer:
S is the volume of the small cup, M the volume of the medium cup and L the volume of the large cup:
2*S + 2*M + 4*L = 160oz
2*S + 6*M + 1*L = 160oz
5*S + 1*M + 3*L = 160oz.
First, we must isolate one of the variables, for this we can use the first two equations and get:
2*S + 2*M + 4*L = 160oz = 2*S + 6*M + 1*L
We can cancel 2*S in both sides:
2*M + 4*L = 6*M + 1*L
now each side must have only one variable:
4*L - 1*L = 6*M - 2*M
3*L = 4*M
L = (4/3)*M.
now we can replace it in the equations and get :
2*S + 2*M + 4*(4/3)*M = 160oz
2*S + 6*M + (4/3)*M = 160oz
5*S + 1*M + 4M = 160oz.
simplifing them we have:
2*S + (22/3)*M + = 160oz
2*S + (22/3)*M = 160oz
5*S + 5*M = 160oz.
(the first and second equation are equal because we used those to get the relation of M and L, so we now have only two equations):
2*S + (22/3)*M = 160oz
5*S + 5*M = 160oz.
We can take the second equation and simplify it:
S + M = 160oz/5 = 32oz
S = 32oz - M
Now we can replace it in the first equation and solve it for M
2*S + (22/3)*M = 2*(32oz - M) + (22/3)*M = 160oz
62oz - 2*M + (22/3)*M = 160oz
-(6/3)*M + (22/3)*M = 98oz
(18/3)*M = 98oz
M = (3/18)*98oz = 16.33 oz
Then:
L = (4/3)*M =(4/3)*16.33oz = 21.78 oz
and:
S = 32oz - M = 32oz - 16.33oz = 15.67oz

At noon, ship A is 120 km west of ship B. Ship A is sailing east at 20 km/h and ship B is sailing north at 15 km/h. How fast is the distance between the ships changing at 4:00 PM?
Answer:
1.39 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the initial position of ship B represent the origin of our coordinate system. Then the position of ship A as a function of time t is ...
A = -120 +20t . . . (east of the origin)
and the position of B is ...
B = 15t . . . (north of the origin)
Then the distance between them is ...
d = √(A² +B²) = √((-120 +20t)² +(15t)²) = √(625t² -4800t +1440)
And the rate of change is ...
d' = (625t -2400)/√(625t² -4800t +14400)
At t = 4, the rate of change is ...
d' = (625·4 -2400)/√(625·16 -4800·4 +14400) = 100/√5200 = 1.39 . . . km/h
The distance between the ships is increasing at about 1.39 km/h.

An integer is 3 less than 5 times another. If the product of the two integers is 36, then find the integers.
Answer:
3, 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Et x and y be the required integers.
Case 1: x = 5y - 3...(1)
Case 2: xy = 36
Hence, (5y - 3)*y = 36
[tex]5 {y}^{2} - 3y = 36 \\ 5 {y}^{2} - 3y - 36 = 0 \\ 5 {y}^{2} - 15y + 12y - 36 = 0 \\ 5y(y - 3) + 12(y - 3) = 0 \\ (y - 3)(5y + 12) = 0 \\ y - 3 = 0 \: or \: 5y + 12 = 0 \\ y = 3 \: \: or \: \: y = - \frac{12}{5} \\ \because \: y \in \: I \implies \: y \neq - \frac{12}{5} \\ \huge \purple{ \boxed{ \therefore \: y = 3}} \\ \because \: x = 5y - 3..(equation \: 1) \\ \therefore \: x = 5 \times 3 - 3 = 15 - 3 = 12 \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ x = 12}}[/tex]
Hence, the required integers are 3 and 12.
let
x = one integer
y = another integer
x = 5y - 3
If the product of the two integers is 36, then find the integers.
x * y = 36
(5y - 3) * y = 36
5y² - 3y = 36
5y² - 3y - 36 = 0
Solve the quadratic equation using factorization method
That is, find two numbers whose product will give -180 and sum will give -3
Note: coefficient of y² multiplied by -36 = -180
5y² - 3y - 36 = 0
The numbers are -15 and +12
5y² - 15y + 12y - 36 = 0
5y(y - 3) + 12 (y - 3) = 0
(5y + 12) (y - 3) = 0
5y + 12 = 0 y - 3 = 0
5y = - 12 y = 3
y = -12/5
The value of y can not be negative
Therefore,
y = 3
Substitute y = 3 into x = 5y - 3
x = 5y - 3
x = 5(3) - 3
= 15 - 3
= 12
x = 12

Would this be correct even though I didn’t use the chain rule to solve?
Answer:
Dy/Dx=1/√ (2x+3)
Yeah it's correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Applying differential by chain differentiation method.
The differential of y = √(2x+3) with respect to x
y = √(2x+3)
Let y = √u
Y = u^½
U = 2x +3
The formula for chain differentiation is
Dy/Dx = Dy/Du *Du/Dx
So
Dy/Dx = Dy/Du *Du/Dx
Dy/Du= 1/2u^-½
Du/Dx = 2
Dy/Dx =( 1/2u^-½)2
Dy/Dx= u^-½
Dy/Dx=1/√ u
But u = 2x+3
Dy/Dx=1/√ (2x+3)

Answer:
the slope of A'B' = 3
A'B' passes through point O
Step-by-step explanation:
A dilation with scale factor 3 gives the effect of stretching the line AB three times longer. As dilation does not change the direction of the line, the slope will stay the same. If point O lies on AB and is the center of dilation, then the point O must also lie on A'B'

To Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. AB is dilated by a scale factor of 3 to form A 1 B1. Point O, which lies on AB, is the center of dilation. The slope of AB is 3. The slope of A1 B1 is___. A1 B1 _____ through point O.
The scale factor is defined as the ratio of modified change in length to the original length.
Here, is o is the center of the line AB and slope of line AB is 3 than the line dilated with scale factor 3 A1B1 has also a scale factor of 3 because Position of dilation is center 0 thus dilation did not get any orientation.
And the center of dilation is O so line A1B1 passes through O.
Thus, the required black space in the statement "The slope of AB is 3. The slope of A1 B1 is___. A1 B1 _____ through point O". is filled by 3 and passes.

Step-by-step explanation:
Professor Sanchez has been teaching Principles of Economics for over 25 years.
He uses the following scale for grading.
Grade Numerical Score Probability
A 4 0.090
B 3 0.240
C 2 0.360
D 1 0.165
F 0 0.145
a. Convert the above probability distribution to a cumulative probability distribution. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
The cumulative probability distribution is given by
Grade = F
P(X ≤ x) = 0.145
Grade = D
P(X ≤ x) = 0.145 + 0.165 = 0.310
Grade = C
P(X ≤ x) = 0.145 + 0.165 + 0.360 = 0.670
Grade = B
P(X ≤ x) = 0.145 + 0.165 + 0.360 + 0.240 = 0.910
Grade = A
P(X ≤ x) = 0.145 + 0.165 + 0.360 + 0.240 + 0.090 = 1
Cumulative Probability Distribution
Grade P(X ≤ x)
F 0.145
D 0.310
C 0.670
B 0.910
A 1
b. What is the probability of earning at least a B in Professor Sanchez’s course? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
At least B means equal to B or greater than B grade.
P(at least B) = P(B) + P(A)
P(at least B) = 0.240 + 0.090
P(at least B) = 0.330
c. What is the probability of passing Professor Sanchez’s course? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Passing the course means getting a grade of A, B, C or D
P(pass) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) + P(D)
P(pass) = 0.090 + 0.240 + 0.360 + 0.165
P(pass) = 0.855
Alternatively,
P(pass) = 1 - P(F)
P(pass) = 1 - 0.145
P(pass) = 0.855
