Suppose A Triangle Has Two Sides Of Length 42 And 35, And That The Angle Between These Two Sides Is 120.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D is the correct answers

Step-by-step explanation:

If we know two sides and an included angle of any triangle, we can use law of cosines to find the unknown length of the third side

Answer 2

The correct option is D. [tex]c^{2} =(42)^{2} +(35)^{2} -2(35)(42)cos120[/tex].

Given  triangle has two sides of length 42 and 35, and angle between these two sides is 120°.

The Law of Cosines is used to find the remaining parts of an oblique (non-right) triangle when either the lengths of two sides and the measure of the included angle is known (S A S) or the lengths of the three sides (SSS) are known.

From this law ,we have [tex]a^{2} =b^{2} +c^{2} -2 bc cos \alpha[/tex] , here a is the length of side to be calculated and alpha is the angle between the known side.

So,here  [tex]a^{2} =(42)^{2} +(35)^{2} -2(42)(35) cos120[/tex], since angle between the known sides is 120°.

Hence the correct option is D. [tex]c^{2} =(42)^{2} +(35)^{2} -2(35)(42)cos120[/tex].

Find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the function over the indicated​ interval, and indicate the​ x-values at which they occur. f (x )equalsx Superscript 4 Baseline minus 18 x squared plus 9​; [negative 5 comma 5 ]

Answers

Answer:

absolute maximum = 184absolute minimum = -72

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function f(x) = x⁴-18x²+9 at the interval [-5, 5], the  absolute maximum and minimum values at this end points are as calculated;

at end point x = -5

f(-5) = (-5)⁴-18(-5)²+9

f(-5) = 625-450+9

f(-5) = 184

at end point x = 5

f(5) = (5)⁴-18(5)²+9

f(5) = 625-450+9

f(5) = 184

To get the critical point, this points occurs at the turning point i.e at

dy/dx = 0

if y = x⁴-18x²+9

dy/dx = 4x³-36x = 0

4x³-36x = 0

4x (x²-9) = 0

4x = 0

x = 0

x²-9 = 0

x² = 9

x = ±3

Using the critical points [0, ±3]

when x = 0, f(0) =  0⁴-18(0)+9

f(0) = 9

Similarly when x = 3, f(±3)=  (±3)⁴-18(±3)²+9

f(±3) = 81-162+9

f(±3) = -72

It can be seen that the absolute minimum occurs at x= ±5 and and absolute minimum occurs at x =±3

absolute maximum = 184

absolute minimum = -72

To compare the production techniques used by foreign and local firms in Brazil, a random sample of 80 foreign firms and a random sample of 80 local firms are selected.This study uses_________ design

Answers

Answer:

An independent sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, to compare the production techniques used by foreign and local firms in Brazil, a random sample of 80 foreign firms and a random sample of 80 local firms are selected. We can safely conclude that this study uses an independent sample design.

An independent sample design can be defined as a research method that usually involves the use of multiple experimental groups (two or more). The samples or participants are only in one group and as such each group has no relationship with the other. This simply means that, the samples in a particular group is having no relationship with the other samples in another group.

Ultimately this implies, each samples are independent and satisfies only one condition of the independent sample design during the experiment to compare the production technique used by foreign and local firms in Brazil.

Hence, the researcher would use only two variables or conditions: a random sample of 80 foreign firms and a random sample of 80 local firms are selected.

Write the standard equation of the circle with center (4, -2) and radius 5.2.

Answers

Answer:

If the radius is really 5.2, then the standard equation of this circle is:

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the standard equation for a circle of radius R, centered at [tex](x_0,y_0)[/tex], is given by:

[tex](x-x_0)^2+(y-y_0)^2=R^2[/tex]

Therefore in the case of a circle of radius R = 5.2, and centered at (4, -2), we have:

[tex](x-x_0)^2+(y-y_0)^2=R^2\\(x-4)^2+(y-(-2))^2=(5.2)^2\\(x-4)^2+(y+2)^2=27.04[/tex]

How many feet of chain fence are necessary to enclosed a dog pen that is square and has a area of 64 sq feet

Answers

Answer:

area of square is given by side^2

Perimeter of  square is given by 4*side

_______________________________

Given

area of square = 64 sq feet

side^2 = 64

side^2 = 8^2

side = 8

thus side = 8 feet

_______________________________________

The dog pen is fenced with chain, hence chain will be fence at the edge of square and at the perimeter.

Thus, length of chain required will be same as the Perimeter of  square.

Perimeter of given dog pen with side length 8 feet = 4*8 = 32 feet.

Thus, 32 feet of chain fence is required.

  (x, y) = (25, 18)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the angle sum theorem. You can write equations for the right angle and for the linear angle.

  (x +11) +(3y) = 90 . . . . sum of angles making the right angle

  (y +7) +90 +65 = 180 . . . . sum of angles making the linear angle

From the second equation, we have ...

  y = 18 . . . . subtract 162

Substituting into the first equation gives ...

  x + 11 + 3(18) = 90

  x = 25 . . . . subtract 65

The values of x and y are 25 and 18, respectively.

Check

VQ = 18+7 = 25

QR = 25 +11 = 36

RS = 3·18 = 54

two lines, 3y-2x=21 and 4y+5x=5, intersect at the point Q. find the coordinates of Q.​

Answers

Answer:

Q = (- 3, 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3y - 2x = 21 → (1)

4y + 5x = 5 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 5 and (2) by 2 and adding will eliminate the x- term.

15y - 10x = 105 → (3)

8y + 10x = 10 → (4)

Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x

23y = 115 ( divide both sides by 23 )

y = 5

Substitute y = 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (2)

4(5) + 5x = 5

20 + 5x = 5 ( subtract 20 from both sides )

5x = - 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = - 3

There are 60 people at the subway station 12 of them jumped the
turnstile. What percentage of people jumped the turnstile? What
percentage of people paid?​​

Answers

Answer:

20% of people jumped the turnstile, 80% of people paid

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage is a ratio of one part to another part which it is a member of.

In this scenario, we are given that 12 out of 60 people did not pay as they jumped the turnstile; to calculate this as a percentage, we can simply divide 12 by 60 to find the decimal value of 0.2; when 0.2 is converted to a value out of 100, we find that it gives us 20% (0.2/1=x/100, x=0.2*100, x=20)

Assuming everyone else pays, and by taking the complementary members of the total group, we find that 80% of people will have paid.

Suppose the preliteracy scores of three-year-old students in the United States are normally distributed. Shelia, a preschool teacher, wants to estimate the mean score on preliteracy tests for the population of three-year-olds.

d. Shelia is 99% confident that the true population mean is between 91.537 points and 104.263 points.
e. There is a 99% chance that the population mean is between 91.537 points and 104.263 points.

Answers

Answer: 1. sample mean = 97.7; sample standard deviation(s) = 9.9467; standard error (SE) = 2.2241

2. t-critical value = 2.861; margin of error (m) = 97.9 ± 6.363

3. Lower limits = 91.537; upper limit = 104.263

4. d. Sheila is 99% confident that the true population mean is between 91.537 points and 104.263 points.

Step-by-step explanation: Knowing that this sample has 20 individuals, which means n = 20:

1. Sample mean is the average of the data set:

mean = [tex]\frac{81+84+...+115+116}{20}[/tex] = 97.9

Sample standard deviation is the spread of the sample data set from the mean:

s = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{(81-97.9)^{2}+...+(116-97.9)^{2}}{20-1} }[/tex] = 9.9467

Standard Error shows how far the mean of the set is from the true popultaion mean:

SE = [tex]\frac{9.9467}{\sqrt{20} }[/tex] = 2.2241

2. The t-critical value (t) is the value you use to decide if you reject or accept the null hypothesis. It can be calculated by a calculator or found in the t-test table. To use the table:

Degrees of freedom for this set is: n - 1 = 19

Critical value (α) = 0.99. For the t-test: [tex]\frac{1-0.99}{2}[/tex] = 0.005

[tex]t_{19,0.005}[/tex] = 2.861

Margin of error (m) shows, in percentage, how different your results are from the real population value. It is calculated as:

m = 97.9 ± 2.861*2.2241 = 97.9 ± 6.363

3. Lower and Upper limits are the interval the true mean can assume with a determined certainty.

lower limit = 97.9 - 6.363 = 91.537

upper limit = 97.9 + 6.363 = 104.263

4. In this case, the statistics shows that the true population mean is between 91.537 and 104.263, 99% of the time.

[tex]$1001$ is the smallest integer greater than $1000$. It also happens to be a multiple of $11$, since $1001 = 11 \cdot 91$. So $1001$ is the smallest multiple of $11$ greater than $1000$ and thus $x = 1001$.The greatest multiple of $11$ that is less than $11^2 = 11 \cdot 11$ is$$11 \cdot (11 - 1) = 11 \cdot 10 = 110$$Thus $y = 110$, and we compute$$x - y = 1001 - 110 = \boxed{891}$$[/tex]

b. The sample variance S2 from the definition (Hint: First subtract 180 from each observation.]

c. The sample standard deviation

d. S2 using the shortcut method

Answers

Answer:

(a) 2.3

(b) 0.5245

(c) 0.7242

(d) 0.5245

Step-by-step explanation:

The data provided is:

S = {180.5, 181.7, 180.9, 181.6, 182.6, 181.6,  181.3, 182.1, 182.1, 180.3, 181.7, 180.5}

(a)

The formula to compute the sample range is:

[tex]\text{Sample Range}=\text{max.}_{x}-\text{min.}_{x}[/tex]

The data set arranged in ascending order is:

S' = {180.3 , 180.5 , 180.5 , 180.9 , 181.3 , 181.6 , 181.6 , 181.7 , 181.7 ,, 182.1 , 182.1 , 182.6}

The minimum value is, 180.3 and the maximum value is, 182.6.

Compute the sample range as follows:

[tex]\text{Sample Range}=\text{max.}_{x}-\text{min.}_{x}[/tex]

                       [tex]=182.6-180.3\\=2.3[/tex]

Thus, the sample range is 2.3.

(b)

Compute the sample variance as follows:

[tex]S^{2}=\frac{1}{n-1}\sum(x_{i}-\bar x)^{2}[/tex]

     [tex]=\frac{1}{12-1}\times [(180.5-181.41)^{2}+(181.7-181.41)^{2}+...+(180.5-181.41)^{2}]\\\\=\frac{1}{11}\times 5.7692\\\\=0.524473\\\\\approx 0.5245[/tex]

Thus, the sample variance is 0.5245.

(c)

Compute the sample standard deviation as follows:

[tex]s=\sqrt{S^{2}}[/tex]

  [tex]=\sqrt{0.5245}\\\\=0.7242[/tex]

Thus, the sample standard deviation is 0.7242.

(d)

Compute the sample variance using the shortcut method as follows:

[tex]S^{2}=\frac{1}{n-1}\cdot [\sum x_{i}^{2}-n(\bar x)^{2}][/tex]

     [tex]=\frac{1}{12-1}\cdot [394913.57-(12\times (181.41)^{2}]\\\\=\frac{1}{11}\times [394913.57-394907.80]\\\\=\frac{5.77}{11}\\\\=0.5245[/tex]

Thus, the sample variance is 0.5245.

Find S9 for the geometric sequence: an=2∙5n−2 Please show work

Answers

Answer:

I guess that the geometric sequence is:

An = 2*5^(n - 2)

we usually have that that a geometric sequence is something like:

A*r^n.

so i will write the first two terms of our sequence separated, and i will calculate the summation of the first seven terms after n = 2.

A0 = 2*5^(-2) = 2/25

A1 = 2*5^-1 = 2/5

Then, the sum for a geometric sequence is:

SN = A(1 - r^N)/(1 - r)

in this case, A = 2 and r = 5, and i will use N = 7 for the sequence 2*5^n

S7 = 2*(1 - 5^7)/(1 - 5) = 39,062.

now we add the first terms that we obtained before and get:

S9 = 2/25 + 2/5 +  39,062 = 39,062.48
