Answer:
4 units
Step-by-step explanation:
A transformation is the movement of a point from one position to another position. If a shape is transformed all its points are also transformed. Types of transformations are translation, rotation, reflection and dilation.
If a shape is transformed, the length of its sides and shape remains the same, only the position changes.
If Line segment AB has a length of 4 units. It is translated 1 unit to the right on a coordinate plane to obtain line segment A'B, the length of A'B' remains the same which is 4 unit. To prove this:
Let A be at ([tex]x_1,y_1[/tex]) and B be at ([tex]x_2,y_2[/tex]). The length of AB is:
[tex]AB=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}[/tex]
If AB is translated to the right by 1 unit the new points are A' at ([tex]x_1+1,y_1[/tex]) and B' at ([tex]x_2+1,y_2[/tex]). The length of A'B' is:
[tex]A'B'=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2+1-(x_1+1))^2}=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2+1-x_1-1)^2}\\\\A'B'=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}[/tex]
AB = A'B' = 4 units

Answer: 3 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two metals:
One that contains 20% nickel, let's call it metal A.
One that contains 80% nickel, let's call it metal B.
We have 6 pounds of metal B, in those 6 punds we have:
0.80*6lb = 4.8lb of nickel.
Now, if we add X pounds of metal A, then we will have:
X + 6lb in total weight.
4.8lb + 0.2*X of nickel.
And we want to have exactly 60% of nickel, so we must have that the quotient between the amount of nickel and the total weight is equal to 0.6
(4.8lb + 0.2*X)/(6lb + X) = 0.6
now we solve it for X:
(4.8lb + 0.2*X) = 0.6*(6lb + X) = 3.6lb + 0.6*X
4.8lb - 3.6lb = 0.6*X - 0.2*X
1.2lb = 0.4*X
1.2lb/0.4 = 3lb = X
We should use 3 pounds of the metal with 20% of nickel.

There were 18,652 geese on a lake. What is this number rounded to the ten
thousands place?
Answer:
20,000
Step-by-step explanation:
To round a number to the nearest ten thousands place, we have to look at the thousand place and see whether it crosses the "hill" of 5 as it's digit.
The thousand digit is 8, so it will round UP, making 18,652 become 20,000.
Hope this helped!
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{20,000}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!
Well the ten thousands number is 1 and the 1rst thousands place number is 8 so since 8 is more than 5 we have to round 1 UP to 2,
so the answer is 20,000.
Hope this helps :)

Since angle 'a' is the inscribed angle of the given triangle
Therefore, angle measure of the intercepted arc will be equal to the double of the inscribed angle.
x = 2a ⇒ a = [tex]\frac{x}{2}[/tex]
By the tangent-chord theorem,
"Angle between a chord and tangent measure the half of the angle measure of intercepted minor arc"
[tex]\frac{x}{2}[/tex] = 40°
Therefore, a = [tex]\frac{x}{2}[/tex] = 40°

Megan has 12 pounds of cheesecake. On Monday, she and her friends eat 4 pounds. On Tuesday, she and her friends eat another 3 pounds. On Wednesday, her friend Mark gives her some more cheesecake so that she has 3 times as much as she had at the end of Tuesday. On Thursday, some of her cheesecake goes bad, so she has the amount that she had at the end of Wednesday, but divided by 5. On Friday, she gives 3 pounds to her dog. On Saturday, her mom gives her one more pound. On Sunday, how many pounds of cheesecake does Megan have left?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First we start with 12 pounds
On Monday, she and her friends eat 4 pounds. So we have 8 now.
On Tuesday, she and her friends eat another 3 pounds. So we gave 5 now.
On Wednesday, her friend Mark gives her some more cheesecake so that she has 3 times as much as she had at the end of Tuesday. 5 * 3 = 15
On Thursday, some of her cheesecake goes bad, so she has the amount that she had at the end of Wednesday, but divided by 5. She had 15 at the end of Wednesday. 15/5 = 3.
On Friday, she gives 3 pounds to her dog. 5 - 3 = 2.
On Saturday, her mom gives her one more pound. 2 + 1 = 3.
On Sunday, she finally has 3 pounds.

An economist is interested in studying the spending habits of consumers in a particular region. The population standard deviation is known to be $1,000. A random sample of 50 individuals resulted in an average expense of $15,000. What is the width of the 99% confidence interval for the mean of expense? a. 364.28 b. 728.55 c. 329.00 d. 657.99
Answer:
The width is [tex]w = \$ 729.7[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = \% 1,000[/tex]
The sample size is [tex]n = 50[/tex]
The sample mean is [tex]\= x = \$ 15,000[/tex]
Given that the confidence level is 99% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as
[tex]\alpha = 100 - 99[/tex]
=> [tex]\alpha = 1\%[/tex]
=> [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]
Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table, the value is
[tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = Z_{\frac{0.01 }{2} } = 2.58[/tex]
Generally margin of error is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} * \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]E = 2.58 * \frac{1000 }{\sqrt{50} }[/tex]
[tex]E = 2.58 * \frac{1000 }{\sqrt{50} }[/tex]
[tex]E = 364.9[/tex]
The width of the 99% confidence interval is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]w = 2 * E[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]w = 2 * 364.9[/tex]
[tex]w = \$ 729.7[/tex]

Timothy invested $2,000 in an account earning 3.5% annual interest that is compounded continuously. How long will it take the investment to grow to $3,500?
Answer: 16 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential function for continuous growth is given by :-
[tex]P=Ae^{rt}[/tex]
, where A = initial amount, r= rate of growth and t = time.
As per given , we have
A= $2,000, =r 3.5%=0.035 and P= $3500
put these vales in equation , we get
[tex]3500=2000e^{0.035t}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{3500}{2000}=e^{0.035t}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.75=e^{0.035t}[/tex]
Taking log on both sides , we get
[tex]\ln 1.75=0.035t\\\\\Rightarrow\ t=\dfrac{\ln1.75}{0.035}=\dfrac{0.560}{0.035}=16[/tex]
Hence, it will take 16 years to grow to $3,500.

Find the equation of the para bola that has zeros of x = -2 and x = 3 and a y-intercept of (0,-30)
Answer:
y = 5x^2-5x-30
Step-by-step explanation:
A parabola with x-intercepts at (-2,0) and (3,0) has the equation
y = a(x+2)(x-3)
where a is to be determined.
We know that it passes through the point (0,-30), so
-30 = a(0+2)(0-3) = -6a
Therefore solve for a to get
a = 5
y = 5(x+2)(x-3)
y = 5(x^2-x+6)
y = 5x^2-5x-30

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let present age of father=y
present age of son=x
then y=3x
after 15 years age of father=y+15
and age of son=x+15
∴y+15=2(x+15)
y+15=2x+30
y-2x=30-15
y-2x=15
∴3x-2x=15
x=15
y=3x=15×3=45
father's present age=45 years
Identify the decimals labeled with the letters A, B, and C on the scale below. Letter A represents the decimal Letter B represents the decimal Letter C represents the decimal
There are [tex]10[/tex] divisions between $3.2$ and $3.3$
so that means each division is $\frac{3.3-3.2}{10}=0.01$
A is the 3rd division after $3.2$, So A is $3.2+3\times0.01=3.23$
similarly, C is 3 division behind $3.2$ so it will be $3.17$
and B is $3.34$
A represents the decimal 3.23
B represents the decimal 3.34
C represents the decimal 3.17
Calculating the decimal values:We can see that there are 10 divisions between 3.2 and 3.3.
The difference between the two points for 10 divisions is 3.3 -3.2 = 0.1 unit.
Therefore, one division will be equal to 0.1/10 = 0.01 unit
So, point A is 3 divisions after 3.2, thus
A = 3.2 + 0.01×3
A = 3.23
Similarly,
B = 3.3 + 0.01×4
B = 3.34
And,
C = 3.2 - 0.01×3
C = 3.17

henry incorrectly said the rate 1/5 pound/ 1/20 quart can be written as the unit rate 1/100 pound per quart. What is the correct unit rate? What error did Henry likely make?
Answer:
4 pounds per quart
Step-by-step explanation:
Henry divided by 20 instead of multiplying by 20.
1/5 pound is the numerator and 1/20 quart is the denominator. To make the denominator equal to 1 quart, you need to multiply by 20.
So 1/5 x 20 = 4 pounds.
Literally, a unit rate means a rate for one.
The unit rate is 4 pounds per quartHenry used the wrong arithmetic operatorThe rate is given as:
[tex]\mathbf{Rate = \frac{1}{5}\ pound\ per\ \frac{1}{20}\ quart}[/tex]
Per means divide.
So, the expression becomes
[tex]\mathbf{Rate = \frac{1}{5}\ pound\ \div \frac{1}{20}\ quart}[/tex]
Express as products
[tex]\mathbf{Rate = \frac{1}{5}\ pound\ \times \frac{20}{1\ quart}}[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]\mathbf{Rate = \frac{1}{1}\ pound\ \times \frac{4}{1\ quart}}[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]\mathbf{Rate = \frac{4\ pound}{1\ quart}}[/tex]
So, the unit rate is 4 pounds per quart

A bag contains two six-sided dice: one red, one green. The red die has faces numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The green die has faces numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, and 4. A die is selected at random and rolled four times. You are told that two rolls were 1's and two were 4's. Find the probability the die chosen was green.
Answer:
the probability the die chosen was green is 0.9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
A bag contains two six-sided dice: one red, one green.
The red die has faces numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
The green die has faces numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, and 4.
From above, the probability of obtaining 4 in a single throw of a fair die is:
P (4 | red dice) = [tex]\dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]
P (4 | green dice) = [tex]\dfrac{3}{6}[/tex] =[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
A die is selected at random and rolled four times.
As the die is selected randomly; the probability of the first die must be equal to the probability of the second die = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
The probability of two 1's and two 4's in the first dice can be calculated as:
= [tex]\begin {pmatrix} \left \begin{array}{c}4\\2\\ \end{array} \right \end {pmatrix} \times \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{1}{6} \end {pmatrix} ^4[/tex]
= [tex]\dfrac{4!}{2!(4-2)!} ( \dfrac{1}{6})^4[/tex]
= [tex]\dfrac{4!}{2!(2)!} \times ( \dfrac{1}{6})^4[/tex]
= [tex]6 \times ( \dfrac{1}{6})^4[/tex]
= [tex](\dfrac{1}{6})^3[/tex]
= [tex]\dfrac{1}{216}[/tex]
The probability of two 1's and two 4's in the second dice can be calculated as:
= [tex]\begin {pmatrix} \left \begin{array}{c}4\\2\\ \end{array} \right \end {pmatrix} \times \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{1}{6} \end {pmatrix} ^2 \times \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{3}{6} \end {pmatrix} ^2[/tex]
= [tex]\dfrac{4!}{2!(2)!} \times ( \dfrac{1}{6})^2 \times ( \dfrac{3}{6})^2[/tex]
= [tex]6 \times ( \dfrac{1}{6})^2 \times ( \dfrac{3}{6})^2[/tex]
= [tex]( \dfrac{1}{6}) \times ( \dfrac{3}{6})^2[/tex]
= [tex]\dfrac{9}{216}[/tex]
∴
The probability of two 1's and two 4's in both dies = P( two 1s and two 4s | first dice ) P( first dice ) + P( two 1s and two 4s | second dice ) P( second dice )
The probability of two 1's and two 4's in both die = [tex]\dfrac{1}{216} \times \dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{9}{216} \times \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
The probability of two 1's and two 4's in both die = [tex]\dfrac{1}{432} + \dfrac{1}{48}[/tex]
The probability of two 1's and two 4's in both die = [tex]\dfrac{5}{216}[/tex]
By applying Bayes Theorem; the probability that the die was green can be calculated as:
P(second die (green) | two 1's and two 4's ) = The probability of two 1's and two 4's | second dice)P (second die) ÷ P(two 1's and two 4's in both die)
P(second die (green) | two 1's and two 4's ) = [tex]\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{9}{216}}{\dfrac{5}{216}}[/tex]
P(second die (green) | two 1's and two 4's ) = [tex]\dfrac{0.5 \times 0.04166666667}{0.02314814815}[/tex]
P(second die (green) | two 1's and two 4's ) = 0.9
Thus; the probability the die chosen was green is 0.9

I'm really sorry that it looks messy, I don't know how to make my text look better :(
The mean salary of federal government employees on the General Schedule is $59,593. The average salary of 30 state employees who do similar work is $58,800 with \sigmaσσ= $1500. At the 0.01 level of significance, can it be concluded that state employees earn on average less than federal employees? What is the critical value? Round your answer to the nearest hundredths.
Answer:
Yes it can be concluded that state employees earn on average less than federal employees
The critical value is [tex]Z_{\alpha } = - 2.33[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = \$ 59593[/tex]
The sample size is n = 30
The sample mean is [tex]\= x = \$ 58800[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = \$ 1500[/tex]
The significance level is [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]
The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : \mu = \$ 59593[/tex]
The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : \mu < \$ 59593[/tex]
The critical value of [tex]\alpha[/tex] from the normal distribution table is [tex]Z_{\alpha } = - 2.33[/tex]
Generally the test statistics is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]t = \frac{\= x - \mu}{ \frac{ \sigma }{ \sqrt{n} } }[/tex]
=> [tex]t = \frac{ 58800 - 59593 }{ \frac{ 1500 }{ \sqrt{30} } }[/tex]
=> [tex]t = -2.896[/tex]
The p-value is obtained from the z-table
[tex]p-value = P(t < -2.896) = 0.0018898[/tex]
Since [tex]p-value < \alpha[/tex] , we reject the null hypothesis, hence it can be concluded that state employees earn on average less than federal employees
