From a point on the ground 12 feet from the base of a flagpole, the angle of elevation of the top of the pole measures 55. How tall is the flagpole?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the flagpole is 16 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angle triangle is formed.

The distance of the point on the ground from the base of the flagpole represents the adjacent side of the right angle. The height of the flagpole from the ground represents the opposite side of the right angle.

To determine the height, h of the flagpole, we would apply the Tangent trigonometric ratio.

Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,

Tan 53 = h/12

h = 12Tan53 = 12 × 1.327

h = 16 feet to the nearest whole number

Certain pieces made by an automatic lathe are subject to three kinds of defects X, Y, Z. A sample of 1000 pieces was inspected with the following results: 2.1% had type X defect. 24% had type Y defect. 2.8% had type Z defect. 0.3% had both type X and type Y defects. 04% had both type X and type Z defects. 0.6% had both type Y and type Z defects. 0.1% had type X, type Y, and type Z defects. Draw a Venn Diagram, then find:
(a) What percent had none of these defects?
(b) What percent had at least one of these defects?
(c) What percent were free of type X and/or type Y defects?
(d) What percent had not more than one of these defects?

Answers

Answer:

a) % age of samples containing none of these defects = 93.9%

b)% age of samples containing at least one of these defects = 6.1%

c) % age of samples free of type X and/or type Y defects = 95.8%

d) %age of samples with not more than 1 defect = 98.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Data Given:

Number of Samples = 1000

Type X defect = 2.1% = 21 samples

Type Y defect = 2.4% = 24 samples

Type Z defect = 2.8% = 28 samples

Both Type X and Y defect = 0.3% = 3 samples

Both Type X and Z defect = 0.4% = 4 samples

Both Type Y and Z defect = 0.6% = 6 samples

Type X and Y and Z defect = 0.1%  = 1 sample

Venn Diagram is attached in the attachment below. Please refer to attachment for the Venn Diagram.

a) % age of samples containing none of these defects.

Solution:

Number of samples containing none of these defects = Total - Samples with defects

Number of samples containing none of these defects = 1000 - { (Type X) + (Type Y) + (Type Z) - (Both X and Y) - (Both X and Z) - (Both Y and Z) + (All defects X and Y and Z) }

 Number of samples containing none of these defects = 1000 - { (21) + (24) +(28) - (3) -(4) - (6) + (1) }

Number of samples containing none of these defects = 1000 - 61

Number of samples containing none of these defects = 939

% age of samples containing none of these defects = 939/1000 x 100

% age of samples containing none of these defects = 93.9%

b) % age of samples containing at least one of these defects:

We have already calculated this above, number of samples containing at least on of these defects:

number of samples containing at least on of these defects = { (Type X) + (Type Y) + (Type Z) - (Both X and Y) - (Both X and Z) - (Both Y and Z) + (All defects X and Y and Z) }

number of samples containing at least on of these defects = { (21) + (24) +(28) - (3) -(4) - (6) + (1) }  

number of samples containing at least on of these defects = 61

% age of samples containing at least one of these defects = 61/1000 x 100

% age of samples containing at least one of these defects = 6.1%

c) % age of samples free of type X and/or type Y defects.

For this find, we need to find the samples with only Z Type defect.

Number of Samples with Only Z type defects = { (Type Z) - (Both X and Z) - (Both Y and Z) + (All defects X and Y and Z) }

Number of Samples with Only Z type defects = { (28)  -(4) - (6) + (1) }

Number of Samples with Only Z type defects = 19

Now, we also know the number of samples without any defects = 939

Now,

The number of samples free of type X and/or type Y defect = Sum of Number of Samples with Only Z type defects and number of samples without any defects

The number of samples free of type X and/or type Y defect = 19+939

The number of samples free of type X and/or type Y defect = 958

% age of samples free of type X and/or type Y defects = 958/1000 x 100

% age of samples free of type X and/or type Y defects = 95.8%

d) %age of samples with not more than 1 defect:

For this find, we need to find number of samples with only X type and with only type Y and with only type Z.

We have already found the number of samples with only Z type defect = 19

Now,

number of samples with only X type defect = { (Type X) - (Both X and Z) - (Both X and Y) + (All defects X and Y and Z) }

number of samples with only X type defect =  { (21)  -(4) - (3) + (1) }

number of samples with only X type defect =  15

Similarly,

number of samples with only Y type defect =  { (Type Y) - (Both Y and Z) - (Both X and Y) + (All defects X and Y and Z) }

number of samples with only Y type defect =  { (24)  -(6) - (3) + (1) }

number of samples with only Y type defect =  16

For,

samples with not more than 1 defect = number of samples with only Y type defect + number of samples with only X type defect + number of samples with only z type defect + number of samples without any defects

samples with not more than 1 defect = 939 + 16 + 15 + 19

samples with not more than 1 defect = 989

%age of samples with not more than 1 defect = 989/1000 x 100

%age of samples with not more than 1 defect = 98.9%

if f(x) = x^2 and g(x) = 2x + 1, WHICH EXPRESSION IS EQUIVALENT TO (F O G)(X),

Answers

Answer:

(2x+1)^2 or 4x^2+4x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to assume you need to find f(g(x)) when f(x)=x^2 and g(x)=2x+1

You first need to find g(x) which is 2x+1

You then take the f(x) function and replace x with 2x+1

This means our new equation is

(2x+1)^2

Your teacher may or may not want you stop here, really only you know the answer to that

But if we expand this we'll find that (2x+1)^2=4x^2+4x+1

The equivalent expression of (f o g) is 4x² + 4x + 1.

What is a function?

function is a relationship between inputs where each input is related to exactly one output.

Example:

f(x) = 2x + 1

f(1) = 2 + 1 = 3

f(2) = 2 x 2 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5

The outputs of the functions are 3 and 5

The inputs of the function are 1 and 2.

We have,

Two functions are given.

f(x) = x²

g(x) - 2x + 1

Now,

(f o g)(x) = f(g(x))

g(x) - 2x + 1

So,

f(g(x)) = f(2x + 1)

Now,

f(2x + 1)

= (2x + 1)²

= 4x² + 4x + 1

Thus,

The expression of (f o g) is 4x² + 4x + 1.

how much water must be added to a 9-liter solution that contains 3% extract on baneberry to get a solution that contains 2% extract of baneberry

Answers

Answer:

Amount water added = 4.5 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of solution = 9 L

Amount of bane-berry = 3% of 9 L = 0.27 L

Computation:

Assume;

Amount water added = x L

Total solution = 9+x L

New percentage of bane-berry = 0.27x100/(9+x)

2 = 0.27*100/(9+x)

x = 4.5 L

Amount water added = 4.5 L

There are 40 children and 12 adults going on a trip to New York City by car. Each car can hold a maximum of 5 people. What is the least number of cars needed for the trip?

Answers

Answer:

Number of cars needed for the trip = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of children = 40

Number of adults = 12

Total number = 40 + 12 = 52 people

Each car can hold 5 people.

Number of cars = [tex]\frac{52}{5}[/tex]

Number of cars = 10.4

Rounding off to next whole number as one car can hold a maximum of 5 people.

Number of cars = 11

Hence,

Number of cars needed for the trip = 11
