in the diagram, POS and UOR are straight lines. OQ is the bisector of angle POR . angle POU and angle UOT are complementary angles.Find the values ofx abd y.​

Answers

Answer:

x = 34° and y = 62°

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles sum to 90°, therefore 90 = 56 + x which means that x = 34°. The angles formed by an angle bisector are congruent and so are vertical angles; this means that ∠SOR = ∠POU = 56° and ∠POQ = ∠QOR = y. Since POS is a straight line, straight lines have a measure of 180° and because ∠POS = ∠POQ + ∠QOR + ∠SOR, we know that 180 = y + y + 56 → 180 = 2y + 56 → 180 → 2y = 124 → y = 62°.

How many adults must be randomly selected to estimate the mean FICO​ (credit rating) score of working adults in a​ country? We want ​% confidence that the sample mean is within points of the population​ mean, and the population standard deviation is .

Answers

Answer: hello below is the complete question

How many adults must be randomly selected to estimate the mean FICO (credit rating) score of working adults in a country? We want 90% confidence that the sample mean is within 4 points of the population mean, and the population standard deviation is 66. Round up to the nearest whole number

answer : 737 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

confidence interval = 90% = 0.9

( E ) = 4

standard deviation = 66

first we have to calculate the value of a

a = 1 - confidence interval

  = 1 - 0.9 = 0.10      hence  a / 2 = 0.05

next find the value of Z a/2 from table

Z[tex]_{0.05}[/tex]  = 1.645

The number of Adults selected can be determined using this relation

N = [tex](Z_{a/2} * (s/E))^2[/tex]

   = [tex](Z_{0.05} * ( 66/4))^2[/tex]

In a triangle ABC two points D,E are taken on BC so that angle BAD=angle DAE=angleCAE. Determine AE if AB=5,BC=10 angle BAC=90. PLEASE HELP I NEED HELP WITHIN TEN MINS PLEASE

Answers

Answer:

AE = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since <BAC = [tex]90^{0}[/tex], then;

<BAD = <DAE = <CAE = [tex]30^{0}[/tex] (complementary angles)

From ΔABC, applying the Pythagoras theorem to determine the length of side AC;

[tex]/BC/^{2}[/tex] = [tex]/AC/^{2}[/tex] + [tex]/AB/^{2}[/tex]

[tex]/10/^{2}[/tex] = [tex]/AC/^{2}[/tex] + [tex]/5/^{2}[/tex]

100 = [tex]/AC/^{2}[/tex] + 25

[tex]/AC/^{2}[/tex] = 100 - 25

[tex]/AC/^{2}[/tex] = 75

AC = [tex]\sqrt{75}[/tex]

Applying trigonometric function to ΔCAE,

Cos [tex]30^{0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{AE}{\sqrt{75} }[/tex]

AE = [tex]\sqrt{75}[/tex] × Cos [tex]30^{0}[/tex]

Find an equation for the circle

Answers

Answer:

The equation of circle is [tex](x-8)^2+(y-4)^2=5[/tex]

(D) is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Points (6,5), (7,2), (9,6) and (10,3) are vertices of an inscribed square.

We need to calculate the distance between (7,2) and (9,6)

Using formula of distance

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]d^2=(9-7)^2+(6-2)^2[/tex]

[tex]d^2=20\ m[/tex]

The radius will be

[tex]r^2=\dfrac{20}{4}[/tex]

[tex]r^2=5[/tex]

We need to calculate the center of the point (7,2) and (9,6)

Using formula of center point

For x axis,

[tex]h=\dfrac{x_{2}+x_{1}}{2}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]h=\dfrac{9+7}{2}[/tex]

[tex]h=\dfrac{16}{2}[/tex]

[tex]h=8[/tex]

For y axis,

[tex]k=\dfrac{y_{2}+y_{1}}{2}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]k=\dfrac{6+2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]k=\dfrac{8}{2}[/tex]

[tex]k=4[/tex]

We need to find the equation for the circle

Using formula of equation of circle

[tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex](x-8)^2+(y-4)^2=5[/tex]

Hence, The equation of circle is [tex](x-8)^2+(y-4)^2=5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the right numbers, but the wrong accounts.

__

Let x represent the amount invested at 8% (the highest rate). Then the total interest is ...

  .08x +.03(3000 -x) = .04(3000)

  .05x = .01(3000) . . . . subtract .03(3000)

  x = 3000/5 = 600

Matthew invested $600 at 8%, $2400 at 3%.

You may notice that the overall interest rate is 4%, closer to 3% than to 8%. That means more of the money must be invested at 3% than at 8%.

Complete question :

Anand needs to hire a plumber. He's considering a plumber that charges an initial fee of $65 along with an

hourly rate of $28. The plumber only charges for a whole number of hours. Anand would like to spend no more than $250, and he wonders how many hours of work he can afford.

Let H represent the whole number of hours that the plumber works.

1) Which inequality describes this scenario?

Choose 1 answer:

A. 28 + 65H < 250

B. 28 + 65H > 250

C. 65 + 28H < 250

D. 65 +28H > 250

2) What is the largest whole number of hours that Anand can afford?​

Answer:

65 + 28H < 250

Number of hours Anand can afford = 6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following information :

Initial hourly rate = $65

Hourly rate = $28

Number of hours worked (whole number) = H

Maximum budgeted amount to spend = $250

Therefore ;

(Initial charge + total charge in hours) should not be more than $250

$65 + ($28*H) < $250

65 + 28H < 250

Number of hours Anand can afford :

65 + 28H < 250

28H < 250 - 65

28H < 185

H < (185 / 28)

H < 6.61

Sinve H is a whole number, the number of hours he can afford is 6 hours

One side of a right triangle is known to be 12 cm long and the opposite angle is measured as 30°, with a possible error of ±1°. Use differentials to estimate the error in computing the length of the hypotenuse. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

estimated error=±0.725

Step-by-step explanation:

Side of the triangle= 12cm

Opposite of triangle x= 30

h= hypotenose side

Error= =±1

From trigonometry

Sin(x)=opposite/hypotenose

hypotenose=opposite/sin(x)

h=12/sin(x)

h=12Csc(x)

dh=-12Csc(x)Cot(x) dx...............eqn(1)

dx is the possible error in angle measurements

So we need to convert to radius

dx=±1°× (π/180)

=±1°(π/180)

Substitute x and dx into equation (1)

dh= - 12Csc30°Cot30°×[±(π/180)]

= -12(2)(√3)(±(π/180)

==±0.725

Therefore, estimated error=±0.725

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of a geometric sequence is

sum = a( 1 - r^n) / (1-r)

where a is the first term  r is the common ratio and  r^n is the nth term

We need to find the common ratio

r = 256/512 = 1/2

sum = 512 ( 1 - 1/2^12) / ( 1-1/2)

       =512( 1-.000244141) / (.5)

       =512(.999755859) /.5

     =1023.75

Answer:

1023.75

Step-by-step explanation:

sum = a( 1 - r^n) / (1-r)

a1 = 512

n = 12

r = 256 / 512 = 1/2

                              512 (1 - 1/2¹²)

the city of James town is 2 meters below sea level. Takoradi, a city in western region, is 7 meters below sea level . How much higher is James town than Takoradi​

Answers

Answer:

James town is 5 meters higher than Takoradi​ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of James town = 2 meters below sea level

Height of Takoradi town = 7 meters below sea level

To find:

How much higher is James town that Takoradi = ?

Solution:

As we can see the standard of height is how much the town is below the sea level.

So, the height of town having lesser value will be at a higher level.

Value of Height of James town is lesser than that of Takoradi town.

Therefore, James town is at a higher level.

Difference of height = 7 meters - 2 meters = 5 meters

So, the answer is:

James town is 5 meters higher than Takoradi.

When determining the sample size necessary for estimating the true population mean, which factor is NOT considered when sampling with replacement

Answers

Answer:

Population Size

Step-by-step explanation:

When sampling with replacement, we can expect that the population size will remain the same. Sampling with replacement occurs when a unit or subject for research is chosen from a population at random. This chosen unit can be returned to the population and another random selection done with the possibility that a unit that was chosen before could be chosen again. So in applying this system of selection, the population size is not taken into consideration. When samples are chosen in this form, it can be referred to as a simple random sample.

So, when determining the sample size necessary for estimating the true population mean, using the sampling with replacement method, the population size is not considered.

There are, for example, the Spartans and the Romans. The Spartans held Athens and Thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. The Romans, in order to hold Capua, Carthage, and Numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. They wished to hold Greece as the Spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. So to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. And he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. And whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as Pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the Florentines.
