Answer:
θ ≈ 50°, AB ≈ 15.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle
tanθ = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{BC}{AC}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{11.9}{10}[/tex] = 1.19 , then
θ = [tex]tan^{-1}[/tex] (1.19 ) ≈ 50° ( to the nearest degree
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle
cos50° = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{AC}{AB}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{10}{AB}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by AB )
AB × cos50° = 10 ( divide both sides by cos50° )
AB = [tex]\frac{10}{cos50}[/tex] ≈ 15.6 ( to 1 dec. place )

All current-carrying wires produce electromagnetic (EM) radiation, including the electrical wiring running into, through, and out of our homes. High frequency EM is thought to be a cause of cancer; the lower frequencies associated with household current are generally assumed to be harmless. The following table summarizes the probability distribution for cancer sufferers and their wiring configuration in the Denver area.
Leukemia Lymphoma Other Cancers
High Frequency wiring 0.242 0.047 0.079
Low frequency wiring 0.391 0.098 ???
(a) What is the missing probability (labelled ???) in the above table?
(b) What is the probability of having high frequency wiring among cancer suffers in the Denver area?
(c) Is the event "Having Leukemia" independent of the event "Having high frequency frequency wiring"? Explain.
Answer:
[tex]x = 0.143[/tex]
[tex]P(High\ |\ Cancer) = 0.215[/tex]
Not independent
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for proper table
Solving (a): The missing probability
First, we add up the given probabilities
[tex]Sum = 0.242+0.047+0.079+0.391+0.098[/tex]
[tex]Sum = 0.857[/tex]
The total probability must add up to 1.
If the missing probability is x, then:
[tex]x + 0.857 = 1[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]x = -0.857 + 1[/tex]
[tex]x = 0.143[/tex]
Solving (b): P(High | Cancer)
This is calculated as:
[tex]P(High\ |\ Cancer) = \frac{n(High\ n\ Cancer)}{n(Cancer)}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]P(High\ |\ Cancer) = \frac{0.079}{0.242+0.047+0.079}[/tex]
[tex]P(High\ |\ Cancer) = \frac{0.079}{0.368}[/tex]
[tex]P(High\ |\ Cancer) = 0.215[/tex]
Solving (c): P(Leukemia) independent of P(High Wiring)
From the attached table
[tex]P(Leukemia\ n\ High\ Wiring) = 0.242[/tex]
[tex]P(Leukemia) = 0.242 + 0.391 =0.633[/tex]
[tex]P(High\ Wiring) = 0.242+0.047+0.079=0.368[/tex]
If both events are independent, then:
[tex]P(Leukemia\ n\ High\ Wiring) = P(Leukemia) * P(High\ Wiring)[/tex]
[tex]0.242 = 0.633 * 0.368[/tex]
[tex]0.242 \ne 0.232[/tex]
Since the above is an inequality, then the events are not independent

A rectangle has an area of 18 cm2
The lengths of the sides are whole numbers.
How long could the sides of the rectangle be?
Give all the examples you can think of
Answer:
9 possible values of length and breadth.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the area of the rectangle is 18cm² . And the lengths of the sides are whole numbers. We need to tell the possible dimensions of the rectangle .
Let :-
[tex]\rm\implies Length = x [/tex]
[tex]\rm\implies Breadth = y [/tex]
We know that :-
[tex]\rm\implies Area = length \times breadth [/tex]
Put in the assumed variables[tex]\rm\implies Area = x y \\\\\rm\implies xy = 18cm^2 [/tex]
Now look out for the possible factors of 18 . That is , ( 1 × 18 ) , ( 2 × 9) , ( 3 × 6 ) , ( 6 × 3 ) , ( 9 × 2 ) , (18 × 1 ) . That is total 9 possible values .

Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, one is asked to find the measure of the arc in degrees. This problem provides one with a diagram since the center is unnamed, call the center point (O). One is given the information that angle (<DOE) has a measure of (90) degrees. One is asked to find the degree measure of the surrounding arc (DE).
The central angles theorem states that if an angle has its vertex on the center of a circle, the degree measure of the angle is equal to the degree measure of the surrounding arc. One can apply this here by stating the following:

x = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] , x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
2([tex]\frac{3x-5}{x+2}[/tex] ) - 5 ([tex]\frac{x+2}{3x-5}[/tex] ) = 3
Multiply through by (x + 2)(3x - 5) to eliminate the fractions
2(3x - 5)² - 5(x + 2)² = 3(x + 2)(3x - 5) ← expand factors on both sides
2(9x² - 30x + 25) - 5(x² + 4x + 4) = 3(3x² + x - 10) ← distribute parenthesis
18x² - 60x + 50 - 5x² - 20x - 20 = 9x² + 3x - 30 ← simplify left side
13x² - 80x + 30 = 9x² + 3x - 30 ( subtract 9x² + 3x - 30 from both sides )
4x² - 83x + 60 = 0 factor by splitting the x- term
4x² - 80x - 3x + 60 = 0
4x(x - 20) - 3(x - 20) = 0
(4x - 3)(x - 20) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
4x - 3 = 0 ⇒ 4x = 3 ⇒ x = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
x - 20 = 0 ⇒ x = 20

Directions: Determine if segments AB and CD are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
AB formed by (-2, 13) and (0, 3)
CD formed by (-5, 0) and (10, 3)
Given:
AB formed by (-2,13) and (0,3).
CD formed by (-5,0) and (10,3).
To find:
Whether the segments AB and CD are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
Solution:
Slope formula:
[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
AB formed by (-2,13) and (0,3). So, the slope of AB is:
[tex]m_1=\dfrac{3-13}{0-(-2)}[/tex]
[tex]m_1=\dfrac{-10}{2}[/tex]
[tex]m_1=-5[/tex]
CD formed by (-5,0) and (10,3). So, slope of CD is:
[tex]m_2=\dfrac{3-0}{10-(-5)}[/tex]
[tex]m_2=\dfrac{3}{10+5}[/tex]
[tex]m_2=\dfrac{3}{15}[/tex]
[tex]m_2=\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]
Since [tex]m_1\neq m_2[/tex], therefore the segments AB and CD are not parallel.
[tex]m_1\times m_2=-5\times \dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]
[tex]m_1\times m_2=-1[/tex]
Since [tex]m_1\times m_2=-1[/tex], therefore the segments AB and CD are perpendicular because product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is always -1.
Hence, the segments AB and CD are perpendicular.
Answer:
AB is perpendicular to CD.
Step-by-step explanation:
AB formed by (-2, 13) and (0, 3)
CD formed by (-5, 0) and (10, 3)
Slope of a line passing through two points is
[tex]m= \frac{y''-y'}{x''- x'}[/tex]
The slope of line AB is
[tex]m= \frac{3- 13}{0+2} = -5[/tex]
The slope of line CD is
[tex]m'= \frac{3 -0 }{10+5} = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]
As the product of m and m' is -1 so the lines AB and CD are perpendicular to each other.
A certain ferry moves up and down a river between Town A and
B. It takes the ferry two hours to travel to Town A and only an
hour and thirty minutes to return to Town B. If the current is 5mph
how far apart are the two cities?
Answer: 60 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
It takes ferry 2 hours to travel to town A and only [tex]1.5\ hr[/tex] to travel back to town B.
Speed of current is [tex]u=5\ mph[/tex]
Suppose the speed of the ferry is [tex]v[/tex] mph
Distance traveled in both the cases is same, but it took more time traveling to city A that is, ferry is moving upstream and downstream for returning time.
[tex]\Rightarrow 2(v-5)=1.5(v+5)\\\Rightarrow 2v-10=1.5v+7.5\\\Rightarrow 0.5v=17.5\\\Rightarrow v=35\ mph[/tex]
Distance between the towns is [tex]2\times (35-5)=60\ \text{miles}[/tex]
Answer:
The distance between the two towns is 60 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the distance between A and B is d.
A to B , t = 2 hour
B to A , t' = 1.5 hour
Speed of current, u = 5 mph
Let the speed of ferry is v.
distance = speed x time
d = (v - 5) x 2 = (v + 5) x 1.5
2 v - 10 = 1.5 v + 7.5
0.5 v = 17.5
v = 35 mph
So, the distance is
d = (35 - 5) x 2 = 60 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:
X,Y and Z from a business with capitals Rs 5000,Rs.4500 and Rs.6500 respectively,after 6 month,X doubles has capital and after next 3 months Y trebles his capital .If the profit at the end of the year amount to RS.8300,find the profit obtained by each X,Y and Z.
Answer:
Profit obtained by X = Rs. 2,976.64
Profit obtained by Y = Rs. 2,545.58
Profit obtained by Z = Rs. 2,777.78
Step-by-step explanation:
Total capital for the first 6 months = Rs 5000 + Rs.4500 + Rs.6500 = Rs. 16,000
Total capital for the next 3 months = Rs. 16,000+ Rs 5000 = Rs. 21,000
Total capital for the last 3 months of the year = Rs. 21,000 + (Rs 4500 * 2) = Rs. 30,000
Share of profit of each partner is the sum of all the ratios of his capital to total capital of the business at each point in time multiply by the ratio of the numbers of months covered by each capital to 12 months and then multiply by RS.8300.
Profit obtained by X = ((Rs 5000 / 16,000) * (6 / 12) * Rs. 8300) + ((Rs 10,000 / 21,000) * (3 / 12) * Rs. 8300) + ((Rs 10,000 / 30,000) * (3 / 12) * Rs. 8300) = Rs. 2,976.64
Profit obtained by Y = ((Rs 4500 / 16,000) * (6 / 12) * Rs. 8300) + ((Rs 4500 / 21,000) * (3 / 12) * Rs. 8300) + ((Rs 13,500 / 30,000) * (3 / 12) * Rs. 8300) = Rs. 2,545.58
Profit obtained by Z = ((Rs 6500 / 16,000) * (6 / 12) * Rs. 8300) + ((Rs 6500 / 21,000) * (3 / 12) * Rs. 8300) + ((Rs 6,500 / 30,000) * (3 / 12) * Rs. 8300) = Rs. 2,777.78
Confirmation of total profit shared = Rs. 2,976.64 + = Rs. 2,545.58 + Rs. 2,777.78 = Rs. 8,300

[tex]6x^2 + 17x + 9 = 0[/tex]
Here,
a = 6, b = 17, c = 9
Put all the values in the quadratic formula.
[tex]x=\dfrac{-17+\sqrt{17^2-4\times 6\times 9}}{2(6)},\dfrac{-17-\sqrt{17^2-4\times 6\times 9}}{2(6)}\\\\x=-0.70,-2.12[/tex]
So, the solution of the given equation are -0.70,-2.212.
(b) Equation is : [tex]4x^2 -4x + 1 = 0[/tex].
Here, a = 4, b = -4 and c = 1
So,
[tex]x=\dfrac{-(-4)+\sqrt{(-4)^2-4\times 4\times 1}}{2(4)},\dfrac{-(-4)-\sqrt{(-4)^2-4\times 4\times 1}}{2(4)}\\\\x=0.5,0.5[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.

The area of the obtuse triangle with a height of 11 cm and a base of 22 cm is 121 cm².
To determine the area of an obtuse triangle, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle, which is given by:
Area = (1/2) * base * height
In this case, the height of the triangle is given as 11 cm and the base is given as 22 cm.
Substituting these values into the formula, we have:
Area = (1/2) * 22 cm * 11 cm
Calculating this expression, we get:
Area = (1/2) * 242 cm²
Simplifying further, we have:
Area = 121 cm²
The area of a triangle is calculated by multiplying half of the base by the height. In this case, the given height is 11 cm and the base is 22 cm. Substituting these values into the formula, the area of the obtuse triangle is calculated to be 121 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]p = 60\%[/tex]
[tex]n = 4[/tex]
Required
The distribution of x
The above is an illustration of binomial theorem where:
[tex]P(x) = ^nC_x * p^x *(1 - p)^{n-x}[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]P(x) = ^4C_x * (60\%)^x *(1 - 60\%)^{n-x}[/tex]
Express percentage as decimal
[tex]P(x) = ^4C_x * (0.60)^x *(1 - 0.60)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(x) = ^4C_x * (0.60)^x *(0.40)^{4-x}[/tex]
When x = 0, we have:
[tex]P(x=0) = ^4C_0 * (0.60)^0 *(0.40)^{4-0}[/tex]
[tex]P(x=0) = 1 * 1 *(0.40)^4[/tex]
[tex]P(x=0) = 0.0256[/tex]
When x = 1
[tex]P(x=1) = ^4C_1 * (0.60)^1 *(0.40)^{4-1}[/tex]
[tex]P(x=1) = 4 * (0.60) *(0.40)^3[/tex]
[tex]P(x=1) = 0.1536[/tex]
When x = 2
[tex]P(x=2) = ^4C_2 * (0.60)^2 *(0.40)^{4-2}[/tex]
[tex]P(x=2) = 6 * (0.60)^2 *(0.40)^2[/tex]
[tex]P(x=2) = 0.3456[/tex]
When x = 3
[tex]P(x=3) = ^4C_3 * (0.60)^3 *(0.40)^{4-3}[/tex]
[tex]P(x=3) = 4 * (0.60)^3 *(0.40)[/tex]
[tex]P(x=3) = 0.3456[/tex]
When x = 4
[tex]P(x=4) = ^4C_4 * (0.60)^4 *(0.40)^{4-4}[/tex]
[tex]P(x=4) = 1 * (0.60)^4 *(0.40)^0[/tex]
[tex]P(x=4) = 0.1296[/tex]
So, the probability distribution is:

There are 36 pencils in 6 packs. Igor wants to know how many pencils are in 1 pack. Elsa wants to know how many pencils are in 3 packs. please help me I did not bring pencil and paper to Herman park
Answer:
18 pencils in 3 packs.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that each pack will have the same amount of pencils. It is given that there are 36 pencils in all when one has 6 packs. Find the amount in each pack by dividing (total amount of pencils)/(amount of packs) = Amount of pencils per pack:
36/6 = 6
There are 6 pencils in each pack.
Now, Elsa wants to know how much pencils are in 3 packs. Multiply the amount of packs with the amount of pencils in each pack:
Total amount of pencils = amount of packs (3) x amount of pencils per pack (6)
= 3 x 6
= 18
There are 18 pencils in 3 packs.

Find the length of side xx in simplest radical form with a rational denominator.
Answer:
[tex]\frac{\sqrt{10} }{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
on a 45 - 45 - 90 triangle if the sides are x then the hypotenuse is x[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]
so,
[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex] = x[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] (Divide by [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] )
[tex]\frac{\sqrt{5} }{\sqrt{2} }[/tex] = x (rationalize the denominator)
[tex]\frac{\sqrt{5} }{\sqrt{2} }[/tex] · [tex]\frac{\sqrt{2} }{\sqrt{2} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{10} }{\sqrt{4} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{10} }{2}[/tex]
The length of side is √10/2
What is Trigonometry?Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies relationships between side lengths and angles of triangles.
The given triangle is a 45-90-45 so if the sides are x then the hypotenuse will be x√2
From the figure the hypotenuse of triangle is √5
SO equation it to x√2
We get √5=x√2
Divide both sides by √2
√5/√2=x
As the denominator should be a whole number we have to rationalize the denominator.
Multiply numerator and denominator with √2
√5/√2×√√2/√2
√10/2
Hence, the length of side is √10/2

Answer:
I believe its the 1st answer.
Suppose that the natural rate of unemployment in a particular year is 4 percent and the actual unemployment rate is 13 percent. Instructions: Enter your answers as a whole number. a. Use Okun's law to determine the size of the GDP gap in percentage-point terms. percent b. If potential GDP is $500 billion in that year, how much output is forgone because of cyclical unemployment? $ billion
Answer:
a. 18 percent
b. $90 billion
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Calculation to use Okun's law to determine the size of the GDP gap in percentage-point terms.
First step is to find the difference between ACTUAL RATE of unemployment and NATURAL RATE of unemployment
Difference=13%-4%
Difference= 9%
Based on the information above calculation we can see that the ACTUAL RATE of unemployment EXCEEDS the NATURAL RATE of unemployment by 9%, which indicates a CYCLICAL UNEMPLOYMENT.
Thus, According to Okun's law, this translates into an 18 % GDP gap in percentage-point terms (= 2 × 9%).
Therefore the the size of the GDP gap in percentage-point terms is 18 percent
b. Calculation to determine how much output is forgone because of cyclical unemployment
Forgone Output :
By applying Okun’s law we known that the GDP gap is 18%, which means that we are 18% below the GDP amount which is given as $500 billion,
Hence,
Output forgone = (18/100) ×$500 billion
Output forgone=0.18×$500 billion
Output forgone=$90 billion
Therefore the Forgone Output is $90 billion
