The correct step to prove that [tex]BC^2 = AB^2 + AC^2[/tex] is:

By the cross product property, [tex]AC^2 = BC \cdot AD[/tex].

To prove that [tex]BC^2 = AB^2 + AC^2[/tex], we can use the triangle similarity and the Pythagorean theorem. Here's a step-by-step explanation:

Given triangle ABC with right angle at A and segment AD perpendicular to segment BC.

By triangle similarity, triangle ABD is similar to triangle ABC. This is because angle A is common, and angle BDA is a right angle (as AD is perpendicular to BC).

Using the proportionality of similar triangles, we can write the following ratio:

[tex]$\frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{AD}{AB}$[/tex]

Cross-multiplying, we get:

[tex]$AB^2 = BC \cdot AD$[/tex]

Similarly, using triangle similarity, triangle ACD is also similar to triangle ABC. This gives us:

[tex]$\frac{AC}{BC} = \frac{AD}{AC}$[/tex]

Cross-multiplying, we have:

[tex]$AC^2 = BC \cdot AD$[/tex]

Now, we can substitute the derived expressions into the original equation:

[tex]$BC^2 = AB^2 + AC^2$\\$BC^2 = (BC \cdot AD) + (BC \cdot AD)$\\$BC^2 = 2 \cdot BC \cdot AD$[/tex]

It was made possible by cross-product property.

Therefore, the correct step to prove that [tex]BC^2 = AB^2 + AC^2[/tex] is:

By the cross product property, [tex]AC^2 = BC \cdot AD[/tex].

Answer:

To convert square millimeters to square centimeters, we need to divide the area in square millimeters by 100 (since there are 100 square millimeters in a square centimeter).

So, the area of the top of Katrina's laptop in square centimeters would be:

57,000 mm² ÷ 100 = 570 cm²

Therefore, the area of the top of Katrina's laptop in square centimeters is 570 cm².

The value of number of students who failed in both mathematics and English is 40.

Since, Given that;

60% of the 1000 students passed the examination,

Hence, we can calculate the number of students who passed the exam as follows:

60/100 x 1000 = 600

So, 600 students passed the examination.

Now, let's find the number of students who failed the examination.

Since 60% of the students passed, the remaining 40% must have failed. Therefore, the number of students who failed the examination is:

40/100 x 1000 = 400

Of the 400 failing students, we know that 60% failed in mathematics.

So, the number of students who failed in mathematics is:

60/100 x 400 = 240

Similarly, we know that 50% of the failing students failed in English.

So, the number of students who failed in English is:

50/100 x 400 = 200

Now, we need to find the number of students who failed in both subjects.

We can use the formula:

Total = A + B - Both

Where A is the number of students who failed in mathematics, B is the number of students who failed in English, and Both is the number of students who failed in both subjects.

Substituting the values we have, we get:

400 = 240 + 200 - Both

Solving for Both, we get:

Both = 240 + 200 - 400

Both = 40

Therefore, the number of students who failed in both mathematics and English is 40.

The type of model that best fits the situation of a $500 raise in salary each year is a linear model.

In a linear model, the dependent variable changes a constant amount for constant increments of the independent variable.

In the given case, the dependent variable is the salary and the independent variable is the year.

You may build a table to show that for increments of 1 year the increments of the salary is $500:

Year         Salary        Change in year         Change in salary

2010           A                           -                                       -

2011           A + 500     2011 - 2010 = 1          A + 500 - 500 = 500

2012          A + 1,000   2012 - 2011 = 1          A + 1,000 - (A + 500) = 500

So, you can see that every year the salary increases the same amount ($500).

In general, a linear model is represented by the general equation y = mx + b, where x is the change of y per unit change of x, and b is the initial value (y-intercept).              

In this case, m = $500 and b is the starting salary: y = 500x + b.

The critical values t₀ for a two-sample t-test is ± 2.0.6

To find the critical values t₀ for a two-sample t-test to test the claim that the population means are equal (i.e., µ₁ = µ₂), we need to use the following formula:

t₀ = ± t_(α/2, df)

where t_(α/2, df) is the critical t-value with α/2 area in the right tail and df degrees of freedom.

The degrees of freedom are calculated as:

df = (s₁²/n₁ + s₂²/n₂)² / [(s₁²/n₁)²/(n₁-1) + (s₂²/n₂)²/(n₂-1)]

n₁ = 14, n₂ = 12, X₁ = 6,X₂ = 7, s₁ = 2.5 and s₂ = 2.8

α = 0.05 (two-tailed)

First, we need to calculate the degrees of freedom:

df = (s₁²/n₁ + s₂²/n₂)² / [(s₁²/n₁)²/(n₁-1) + (s₂²/n₂)²/(n₂-1)]

= (2.5²/14 + 2.8²/12)² / [(2.5²/14)²/13 + (2.8²/12)²/11]

= 24.27

Since this is a two-tailed test with α = 0.05, we need to find the t-value with an area of 0.025 in each tail and df = 24.27.

From a t-distribution table, we find:

t_(0.025, 24.27) = 2.0639 (rounded to four decimal places)

Finally, we can calculate the critical values t₀:

t₀ = ± t_(α/2, df) = ± 2.0639

Answer:

1)  21 years

2) 26 years

Step-by-step explanation:

To model the account balance of Vanessa's account at t years, we can use an exponential function in the form:

[tex]\large\boxed{A(t) = A_0(1 + r)^t}[/tex]

where:

Given Vanessa invested $2500 into the account and it will increase in value by 3.5% each year:

Substitute these values into the formula to create an equation for A in terms of t:

[tex]A(t) = 2500(1 + 0.035)^t[/tex]

[tex]A(t) = 2500(1.035)^t[/tex]

To find when the account balance will be $5000, set A(t) equal to $5000 and solve for t:

[tex]A(t)=5000[/tex]

[tex]2500(1.035)^t=5000[/tex]

[tex](1.035)^t=\dfrac{5000}{2500}[/tex]

[tex](1.035)^t=2[/tex]

[tex]\ln (1.035)^t=\ln 2[/tex]

[tex]t \ln 1.035=\ln 2[/tex]

[tex]t=\dfrac{\ln 2}{ \ln 1.035}[/tex]

[tex]t=20.1487916...[/tex]

[tex]t=20.15\; \sf years\;(2\;d.p.)[/tex]

Therefore, it will take approximately 20.15 years for Vanessa's account to reach a value of $5000.

Since the interest rate is an annual rate of 3.5%, it means that the interest is applied once per year, at the end of the year. Therefore, we need to round up the number of years to the next whole number.

So Vanessa's account will have $5,000 after 21 years.

Note: After 20 years, the account balance will be $4,974.47. After 21 years, the account balance will be $5,148.58.

Given the initial price of the ticket was $4.22 and the price has increased by 3.1% each year:

Substitute these values into the formula to create an equation for P in terms of t:

[tex]P(t) = 4.22(1 + 0.031)^t[/tex]

[tex]P(t) = 4.22(1.031)^t[/tex]

To find how many years until tickets cost $9.33, we can set P(t) equal to $9.33 and solve for t:

[tex]P(t)=9.33[/tex]

[tex]4.22(1.031)^t=9.33[/tex]

[tex](1.031)^t=\dfrac{9.33}{4.22}[/tex]

[tex]\ln (1.031)^t=\ln \left(\dfrac{9.33}{4.22}\right)[/tex]

[tex]t \ln (1.031)=\ln \left(\dfrac{9.33}{4.22}\right)[/tex]

[tex]t =\dfrac{\ln \left(\dfrac{9.33}{4.22}\right)}{\ln (1.031)}[/tex]

[tex]t=25.9882262...[/tex]

Therefore, it will take approximately 26 years for movie ticket prices to reach $9.33, assuming the annual growth rate remains constant at 3.1%.
