Which equation can be used to find the unknown length, a, in this triangle?
A right triangle has a side with length 15 meters and hypotenuse with length 17 meters. The other side is labeled a.
a squared + 15 squared = 17 squared
15 squared + 17 squared = a squared
a squared + 15 = 17 squared
a + 15 squared = 17 squared

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (a)  a squared + 15 squared = 17 squared

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you the sum of the squares of the sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

  a^2 + 15^2 = 17^2 . . . . . . matches the first choice

Answer 2

Answer:

Solution :-

We know that

Base² + Length ² = Hypotenuse²

(a)² + (15)² = 17²

So,

Option A is correct

If we solve it

(a)² + 225 = 289

(a)² = 289 - 225

(a)² = 64

a = √{64}

a = 8

Answers

Answer:

4.086 < 5.025                 true

6.37 = 6.370                   true

64.28 > 64.281                false

11.716 < 11.708                 false

64.28 > 64.281                false

3,756.082 < 3,756.802   true

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's define how the symbols work.

a < b  means that a is strictly smaller than b

a > b means that a is strictly greater than b

Also, for rounding up or down:

Suppose that we want to round to the second decimal after the decimal point.

Then, we need to look at the third one, if it is 5 or larger, we round up.

if it smaller than 5, we round down.

We need to see if each statement is true or not.

a) 4.086 < 5.025

This is true, the number 5.025 is larger than 4.086 (you only need to see at the units digit) So this statement is true.

b) 6.37 = 6.370

Because the third digit is equal to zero, we can round down the right number to 6.37, then the equality is true.

c) 11.716 < 11.708

11.716 is actually larger than 11.708, so this statement is false

d) 64.28 > 64.281

We have that:

64.28 + 0.001 = 64.281

Then 64.281 is larger than 64.28, so this statement is false.

e) 3,756.082 < 3,756.802

By looking at the numbers after the decimal point, we can see that the right number is larger than the left one, then the statement is true.

Which constant number would you add to both sides of the equation in order to complete the square for the quadratic function 1 = x2 - 6x?​

Answers

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Identity of the square of a sum:

(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²

Applied to given equation:

1 = x² - 6x1 = x² - 2*x*31 + 3² = x² - 2*x*3 + 3²1 + 9 = (x - 3)²

The added constant is 9

Answer:

Solution given:

equation is:

1=x²-6x

x²-6x-1=0

comparing above equation with ax²+bx+c=0

we get

a=1

b=-6

c=-1

now

constant no.[tex] {(\frac{b}{2})}^{2}= {(\frac{-6}{2})}^{2}=\frac{36}{4}=9[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for triangle

Required

Find a and b

Using cosine formula, we have:

[tex]\cos \theta = \frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\cos (30) = \frac{11\sqrt 3}{a}[/tex]

Make a the subject

[tex]a = \frac{11\sqrt 3}{\cos (30)}[/tex]

[tex]\cos(30) = \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]a = \frac{11\sqrt 3}{\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}}[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]a = 11\sqrt 3 \div \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]a = 11\sqrt 3 * \frac{2}{\sqrt 3}[/tex]

[tex]a = 11 * 2[/tex]

[tex]a =22[/tex]

To solve for b, we use Pythagoras theorem

[tex]a^2 = b^2 + (11\sqrt 3)^2[/tex]

[tex]22^2 = b^2 + (11\sqrt 3)^2[/tex]

[tex]484 = b^2 + 363[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]b^2 = 484 - 363[/tex]

[tex]b^2 = 121[/tex]

Take positive square roots

[tex]b = \sqrt {121[/tex]

A classroom has a perimeter of 62.25m. What is the absolute error of the perimeter?​

Answers

Answer:

0.005m

Step-by-step explanation:

Measuring properties of a given entity is always prone to error and hence leads to inaccuracy in the resulting measurement. One of such errors is the absolute error.

Absolute error is the difference between the actual/exact value and measured value.

The classroom has been measured to have a perimeter of 62.25m. This shows that it is accurate to 0.01 of a meter. This means that the actual measurement of the classroom could either be 0.005m more or less than the measured value.

In other words, the actual value of the classroom is

62.25 ± 0.005 m

This difference of 0.005 m gives the absolute error.

A box with a rectangular base and open top must have a volume of 128 f t 3 . The length of the base is twice the width of base. The base needs to be stronger than the sides, so it costs more. The base costs $9 per f t 2 , while the sides only cost $6 per f t 2 . We wish to find the dimensions of the box that minimize the cost of material used.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Width = 4ft[/tex]

[tex]Height = 4ft[/tex]

[tex]Length = 8ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Volume = 128ft^3[/tex]

[tex]L = 2W[/tex]

[tex]Base\ Cost = \$9/ft^2[/tex]

[tex]Sides\ Cost = \$6/ft^2[/tex]

Required

The dimension that minimizes the cost

The volume is:

[tex]Volume = LWH[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]128 = LWH[/tex]

Substitute [tex]L = 2W[/tex]

[tex]128 = 2W * WH[/tex]

[tex]128 = 2W^2H[/tex]

Make H the subject

[tex]H = \frac{128}{2W^2}[/tex]

[tex]H = \frac{64}{W^2}[/tex]

The surface area is:

Area = Area of Bottom + Area of Sides

So, we have:

[tex]A = LW + 2(WH + LH)[/tex]

The cost is:

[tex]Cost = 9 * LW + 6 * 2(WH + LH)[/tex]

[tex]Cost = 9 * LW + 12(WH + LH)[/tex]

[tex]Cost = 9 * LW + 12H(W + L)[/tex]

Substitute: [tex]H = \frac{64}{W^2}[/tex] and [tex]L = 2W[/tex]

[tex]Cost =9*2W*W + 12 * \frac{64}{W^2}(W + 2W)[/tex]

[tex]Cost =18W^2 + \frac{768}{W^2}*3W[/tex]

[tex]Cost =18W^2 + \frac{2304}{W}[/tex]

To minimize the cost, we differentiate

[tex]C' =2*18W + -1 * 2304W^{-2}[/tex]

Then set to 0

[tex]2*18W + -1 * 2304W^{-2} =0[/tex]

[tex]36W - 2304W^{-2} =0[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]36W = 2304W^{-2}[/tex]

Divide both sides by W

[tex]36 = 2304W^{-3}[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]36 = \frac{2304}{W^3}[/tex]

Solve for [tex]W^3[/tex]

[tex]W^3 = \frac{2304}{36}[/tex]

[tex]W^3 = 64[/tex]

Take cube roots

[tex]W = 4[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]L = 2W[/tex]

[tex]L = 2 * 4[/tex]

[tex]L = 8[/tex]

[tex]H = \frac{64}{W^2}[/tex]

[tex]H = \frac{64}{4^2}[/tex]

[tex]H = \frac{64}{16}[/tex]

[tex]H = 4[/tex]

Hence, the dimension that minimizes the cost is:

[tex]Width = 4ft[/tex]

[tex]Height = 4ft[/tex]

[tex]Length = 8ft[/tex]

Grumpy Corp drug tests all of the recent college graduates it hires each year. The drug test currently used correctly determines drug users 96% of the time(a Positive test) and correctly determines non-users 90% of the time(a Negative test). A recent study concluded that 36% of college students use drugs. A potential employee has been tested and the result was Negative for drug use.

Required:
a. Construct ALL necessary probabilities using proper notation(Example: P(D) for a "drug user").
b. Find the Probability of a Negative test, by showing use of the above Probabilities first, and then followed by the proper calculation.

Answers

Answer:

Hence, the probability of a Negative test is [tex]P(T^C)=0.5904[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Let [tex]D=[/tex] Drug user and [tex]T=[/tex] Test positive

Probability of drug users [tex]P(D)=36\%=0.36[/tex]

                                    [tex]P(\frac{T}{D})=96\%=0.96[/tex]

                                   [tex]P(\frac{T^c}{D^c})=90\%=0.90[/tex]

(b)

Find the Probability of a Negative test,

     [tex]P(T^C)=P(\frac{T^C}{D^C})\cdot P(D^C)+P(\frac{T^C}{D})\cdot P(D)[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow P(T^C)=0.9\cdot(1-0.36)+(1-0.96)\cdot 0.36[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow P(T^C)=0.9\cdot 0.64+0.04\cdot 0.36[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow P(T^C)=0.576+0.0144[/tex]

Sonia Sotomayor.Let us not forget that between the appointments of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor in 1981 and Justice Ginsburg in 1992, eleven years passed. Similarly, between Justice Kaye's initial appointment as an Associate Judge to the New York Court of Appeals in 1983, and Justice Ciparicks appointment in 1993, ten years elapsed. Almost nine years later, we are waiting for a third appointment of a woman to both the Supreme Court and the New York Court of Appeals and of a second minority, male or female, preferably Hispanic, to the Supreme Court. In 1992 when I joined the bench, there were still two out of 13 circuit courts and about 53 out of 92 district courts in which no women sat. At the beginning of September of 2001, there are women sitting in all 13 circuit courts. The First, Fifth, Eighth and Federal Circuits each have only one female judge, however, out of a combined total number of 48 judges. There are still nearly 37 district courts with no women judges at all. For women of color the statistics are more sobering. As of September 20, 1998, of the then 195 circuit court judges, only two were African-American women and two Hispanic women. Of the 641 district court judges, only twelve were African-American women and eleven Hispanic women. African-American women comprise only 1.56% of the federal judiciary and Hispanic-American women comprise only 1%. No African-American, male or female, sits today on the Fourth or Federal circuits. And no Hispanics, male or female, sit on the Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, District of Columbia or Federal Circuits.Sort of shocking, isn't it? This is the year 2002. We have a long way to go. Unfortunately, there are some very deep storm warnings we must keep in mind. In at least the last five years the majority of nominated judges the Senate delayed more than one year before confirming or never confirming were women or minorities. I need not remind this audience that Judge Paez of your home Circuit, the Ninth Circuit, has had the dubious distinction of having had his confirmation delayed the longest in Senate history. These figures demonstrate that there is a real and continuing need for Latino and Latina organizations and community groups throughout the country to exist and to continue their efforts of promoting women and men of all colors in their pursuit for equality in the judicial system.The rhetorical technique most used in this excerpt isparallelism.overstatement.ethos.shift.
