The shorter leg of a right triangle is 2 feet shorter than the longer leg. The hypotenuse is 10 feet. How long is each leg?​

Answers

Answer 1

a=shorter leg

b=longer leg

c=hypotenuse

a=b-14

c^2=a^2+b^2

26^2=(b-14)^2+b^2

676=b^2-2*b*14+14^2+b^2

676=2b^2-28b+196

676-196=2(b^2-14b)

480=2(b^2-14b) Divide with 2

240=b^2-14b

b^2-14b=240

b^2-14b+7^2=240+7^2

Becouse: (b-7)^2=b^2-14b+7^2

(b-7)^2=240+49

(b-7)^2=289

b-7=sqroot(289)

You have two solutions:

b-7=17 and

b-7=-17

Becouse sqroot(289)=+/- 17

First solution: b-7=17

b=17+7=24

Second solution:

b-7=-17

b=17+7=-10

leg of triangle can not be negative number so:

b=24

a=b-14=24-14=10

a=10 b=24

c=sqroot(a^2+b^2)

c=sqroot(10^2+24^2)

c=sqroot(100+576)

c=sqroot(676)

c=26

Select the correct answer.
Pat and Quentin collect trading cards. They each began the year with cards already in their collection and buy more cards every month.

The number of cards in Pat’s collection, x months after the start of the year, is modeled by function p:
p(x) = 34 + 16x.

The number of cards in Quentin’s collection, x months after the start of the year, is modeled by function q:
q(x) = 28 + 12x.

Which function correctly represents how many more cards Pat has in her collection than Quentin has in his collection, x months after the start of the year?

A.
(p − q)(x) = 62 + 4x
B.
(p − q)(x) = 6 + 4x
C.
(p − q)(x) = 6 + 28x
D.
(p − q)(x) = 62 + 28x

Answers

The expression that represents how many more cards Pat has in her collection than Quentin has in his collection is B. (p − q)(x) = 6 + 4x

What is a expression?

An expression simply refers to the mathematical statements which have at least two terms which are related by an operator and contain either numbers, variables, or both.

Pat's collection is represented as p(x) = 34 + 16x.

Quentin's collection is represented as q(x) = 28 + 12x.

The difference will now be:

= 34 + 16x - (28 + 12x)

= 34 + 16x - 28 - 12x

= 6 + 4x

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Answers

Answer:

CI =[- 4.588; 15.4]

Since the calculated value of t= 4.244  falls in the critical region so we reject H0 and conclude that we  are not confident that the mean difference in lifetime between front and rear brake pads is 99.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data is

Car      Rear      Front           d= rear- front

1         40.6           32.5             8.1

2         35.4            27.1             8.3

3         46.6           35.6              11

8       45.9            34.3             11.6

9       47.2            36.5             10.7

∑                                           = 89.8

Let the hypotheses be

H0: ud= 0 against the claim Ha: ud ≠0

The degrees of freedom = n-1= 9-1= 8

The significance level is 0.05

The test statistic is

t= d`/sd/√n

The critical region is ║t║≤ t (0.025,8) = ±2.306

Sd= 7.05434553

d`=∑d/n= 89.8/9= 9.978

Therefore

t= d`/ sd/√n

t= 9.978/ 7.054/√9

t= 4.244

1) Since the calculated value of t= 4.244  falls in the critical region so we reject H0 and conclude that we  are not confident that the mean difference in lifetime between front and rear brake pads is 99.5%

2) the confidence interval for the difference of two samples can be calculated by

d ` ± td sd/√n

Some values of the linear function f are given in the table shown. What is the value of f(100)?

Answers

Answer:

f(100) = 160.

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear function:

The equation of a linear function has the following format:

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

In which m is the slope(how much f(x) changes when x changes by 1) and b is the y-intercept(value of f(x) when x = 0).

Finding the slope:

Suppose we have two points. The slope is the change in the output divided by the change in the input.

In this question, we have points (45,50) and (60,80).

Change in the output: 80 - 50 = 30

Change in the slope: 60 - 45 = 15

Slope: 30/15 = 2

So

[tex]y = 2x + b[/tex]

Point (45,50)

This means that when [tex]x = 45, y = 50[/tex]. We use this to find the value of b.

[tex]y = 2x + b[/tex]

[tex]50 = 2(45) + b[/tex]

[tex]b = -40[/tex]

So

[tex]y = 2x - 40[/tex]

With y = f(x)

What is the value of f(100)?

This is y when x = 100. So

[tex]f(100) = 2(100) - 40 = 200 - 40 = 160[/tex]

f(100) = 160.

hand? (An ace has a value of 1.)

D.25%

Answers

Answer:

24%

Step-by-step explanation:

trust me and get blessed

The probability of drawing a card that could win the hand and actually winning the hand is 12%.

Option B is the correct answer.

What is probability?

It is the chance of an event to occur from a total number of outcomes.

The formula for probability is given as:

Probability = Number of required events / Total number of outcomes.

Example:

The probability of getting a head in tossing a coin.

P(H) = 1/2

We have,

There are 50 cards left in the deck after the 5 of spades and 10 of clubs are drawn since there are 4 suits with 13 cards each, and 2 of those cards have already been drawn.

Out of the remaining 50 cards, there are 16 cards that could win the hand: the 9 remaining cards higher than the 10 of clubs in any suit, and the 6 remaining cards in the spade suit (since the 5 of spades is already on the table).

Therefore, the probability of drawing a card that could win the hand is 16/50, which simplifies to 8/25. This is approximately 0.32 or 32%.

However, we need to subtract the probability of drawing the 5 of clubs, 10 of spades, or any of the 8 remaining cards that would not win the hand.

The probability of drawing one of these cards is 10/50, which simplifies to 1/5 or 20%.

The probability of drawing a card that could win the hand and actually winning the hand is:

(16/50) x (1/5)

= 0.32 - 0.2

= 0.12 or 12%.

Thus,

The probability of drawing a card that could win the hand and actually winning the hand is 12%.
