an 18-foot wire is to be cut so that the longer piece is 5 times longer than the shorter piece. find the length of each peice

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The longer piece is 15 feet long and the shorter piece is 3 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations where x is the length of the longer piece and y is the length of the shorter piece:

x + y = 18

x = 5y

Solve by substitution by substituting 5y as x into the first equation:

x + y = 18

5y + y = 18

Solve for y:

6y = 18

y = 3

So, the shorter piece is 3 feet long. Since the longer piece is 5 times longer, find its length by multiplying this by 5:

3(5)

= 15

So, the longer piece is 15 feet long.

The longer piece is 15 feet long and the shorter piece is 3 feet long.

Find the measurement of angle b.

Answers

Answer:

b = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles add to 90 degrees

b+35 = 90

Subtract 35 from each side

b +35-35 = 90-35

b = 55

Answer:

90-35=55

Answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

As evident, the line is bisecting the right angle. One side of the bisection is given as 35. Thus by deduction:

90-35=b

90-35=55

Let V1=(1,2,-5)^T v2=((2,5,6)^T and b=(7,4,-3)^T cn be expressed as a linear combination of V1 and V2?

Answers

I assume the question is whether the vector b is a linear combination of v₁ and v₂. If it is, then that means there are scalars c₁ and c₂ such that

b = c₁ v₁ + c₂ v₂   ==>   (7, 4, -3) = c₁ (1, 2, -5) + c₂ (2, 5, 6)

This gives the system of equations,

c₁ + 2c₂ = 7

2c₁ + 5c₂ = 4

-5c₁ + 6c₂ = -3

which has no solution, since

-2 (c₁ + 2c₂) + (2c₁ + 5c₂) = -2(7) + 4   ==>   c₂ = -10

but substituting this into any two equations in the system gives contradictory results. For instance,

c₁ + 2c₂ = c₁ - 20 = 7   ==>   c₁ = 27

2c₁ + 5c₂ = 2c₁ - 50 = 4   ==>   c₁ = 27

-5c₁ + 6c₂ = -5c₁ - 60 = -3   ==>   c₁ = -57/5

This means that b is not a linear combination of v₁ and v₂.

Terri wants to know the value of n in the equation 7.638xn=763.8 what value for n makes the equation true?

Answers

Answer: 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the equation 7.638 × n = 763.8 and told that Terri wants to know the value of n in the equation that will make it true. To do this goes thus:

7.638 × n = 763.8

7.638n = 763.8

Divide both side by 7.638

7.638n/7.638 = 763.8/7.638

n = 100

Therefore, n = 100 will make the equation true.

The answer that represents the total number of stamps that Malik has collected is: x + y = 212. The equation that represents the difference in the number of foreign and domestic stamps Malik collected is: x - y = 34. The System of Linear Equations that represent the situation is: x - y = 34 and x + y = 212.

Solve the problem. Use the Central Limit Theorem.The annual precipitation amounts in a certain mountain range are normally distributed with a mean of 109.0 inches, and a standard deviation of 12 inches. What is the probability that the mean annual precipitation during 25 randomly picked years will be less than 112 inches

Answers

Answer:

0.8944 = 89.44% probability that the mean annual precipitation during 25 randomly picked years will be less than 112 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we use the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Mean of 109.0 inches, and a standard deviation of 12 inches.

This means that [tex]\mu = 109, \sigma = 12[/tex]

Sample of 25.

This means that [tex]n = 25, s = \frac{12}{\sqrt{25}} = 2.4[/tex]

What is the probability that the mean annual precipitation during 25 randomly picked years will be less than 112 inches?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 112. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{112 - 109}{2.4}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.25[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.25[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8944.

0.8944 = 89.44% probability that the mean annual precipitation during 25 randomly picked years will be less than 112 inches.

Therefore, 9 darts did not hit the bull's-eye.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given statement: Curtis threw 15 darts at a dashboard.

40% of his darts hit the bull's eye

then;

60 % of his darts did not hit the bull's eyes.

By definition of equivalent ratio;

x/15= 600/100

Multiply both sides by 15 we have;

1.Find a formula for the moose population, P , in terms of t, the years since 1990.

2.What does your model predict the moose population to be in 2009?

Answers

Answer:

P(t) = - 60t + 4720

3580

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (4250 - 4600) / (8 - 2)

m = - 360 / 6

m = - 60

Using the point slope relation :

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 4600 = - 60(x - 2)

y - 4600 = - 60x + 120

y - 4600 + 4600 = - 60x + 120 + 4600

y = - 60x + 4720

P(t) = - 60t + 4720

To predict population in 2009 :

2009 - 1990 = 19 years

Put t = 19

P(19) = - 60(19) + 4720

P(19) = - 1140 + 4720

P(19) = 3580
