Answer:
15cm
Step-by-step explanation:
First, a square's diagonal is basically the hypotenuse of a 45-45-90 triangle. a 45-45-90 triangle has a really special relationship, where the side length is x, and the diagonal is x [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]. So, the side length is 15.
Answer:
15cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Each corner of the square would be a 90° angle so half of that would be 45°.
[tex] \sin(45) \times 15 \sqrt{2} = 15cm[/tex]
How to graph the line y=4/3x
Answer:
make a table of values
Step-by-step explanation:
then plot using those values
The required graph has been attached which represents the line y = 4/3x
What is a graph?A graph can be defined as a pictorial representation or a diagram that represents data or values.
We have been given the equation of a line below as:
y = 4/3x
Rewrite in slope-intercept form.
y = (4/3)x
Use the slope-intercept form to discover the slope and y-intercept.
Here the slope is 4/3 and y-intercept = (0, 0)
Any line can be graphed using two points. Select two x values, and plug them into the equation to find the corresponding y values.
When substitute the value of x = 0, then the value of y = 0, and When substitute the value of x = 3, then the value of y = -4,
Hence, the graph represents the line y = 4/3x
Therefore, the required graph of the line y=4/3x will be shown in the as attached file.

Records indicate that x years after 2008, the average property tax on a three bedroom home in a certain community was T(x) =20x^2+40x+600 dollars.
Required:
a. At what rate was the property tax increasing with respect to time in 2008?
b. By how much did the tax change between the years 2008 and 2012?
Answer:
a) 40 dollars
b) 480 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the average property tax on a three bedroom home in a certain community modelled by the equation T(x) =20x²+40x+600, the rate at which the property tax is increasing with respect to time in 2008 can be derived by solving for the function T'(x) at x=0
T'(x) = 2(20)x¹ + 40x° + 0
T'(x) = 40x+40
At x = 0,
T'(0) = 40(0)+40
T'(0) = 40
Hence the property tax was increasing at a rate of 40dollars with respect to the initial year (2008).
b) There are 4 years between 2008 and 2012. To know how much that the tax change between the years 2008 and 2012, we will find T(4) - T(0)
Given T(x) =20x²+40x+600
T(4) =20(4)²+40(4)+600
T(4) = 320+160+600
T(4) = 1080 dollars
Also T(0) =20(0)²+40(0)+600
T(0) = 0+0+600
T(0)= 600 dollars
T(4) - T(0) = 1080 - 600
T(4) - T(0) = 480 dollars
Hence, the tax has changed by $480 between 2008 and 2012
Last Sunday, the average temperature was 8\%8%8, percent higher than the average temperature two Sundays ago. The average temperature two Sundays ago was TTT degrees Celsius. Which of the following expressions could represent the average temperature last Sunday?
Work Shown:
T = average Celsius temperature two Sundays ago
8% = 8/100 = 0.08
8% of T = 0.08T
L = average Celsius temperature last sunday
L = 8% higher than T
L = T + (8% of T)
L = T + 0.08T
L = 1.00T + 0.08T
L = (1.00 + 0.08)T
L = 1.08T
The 1.08 refers to the idea that L is 108% of T

Zamba has found a little black dress on sale for 50% off the original price of $239.99. She also has a coupon offering free shipping and an additional 10% off of her entire online purchase. If she buys the dress and a pair of shoes costing $34.70, how much will she pay for her ensemble?
$108.00
$104.70
$94.23
$139.23
Answer:
$139.23
Step-by-step explanation:
50% off the original price of $239.99
= $239.99-(0.5*239.99)
= 239.99-119.995
= $119.995
She purchase a pair of shoes also worth $34.70
Total cost now= $119.995 + $34.70
Total cost now= $154.695
But she has a coupon that gives her 10% off her total sales
Now she wants pay
= $154.695 - 0.1(154.695)
= $154.695-15.4695
= $139.2255
Approximately $139.23

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.
0 = -12 + 4y - 3x whats the slope
Answer:
3/4 is the slope
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to put this in slope intercept form
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
0 = -12 + 4y - 3x
Subtract 4y from each side
-4y = -3x-12
Divide each side by -4
-4y/-4 = -3x/-4 -12/-4
y = 3/4 x +3
Answer:
Slope=3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
0=-12+4y-3x (Add 12 on the other side)
12=4y-3x (Add 3x on the other side)
3x+12=4y (Divide by 4)
y=3/4+3
You are an assistant director of the alumni association at a local university. You attend a presentation given by the university’s research director and one of the topics discussed is what undergraduates do after they matriculate. More specifically, you learn that in the year 2018, a random sample of 216 undergraduates was surveyed and 54 of them (25%) decided to continue school to pursue another degree, and that was up two percentage points from the prior year. The Dean of the College of Business asks the research director if that is a statistically significant increase. The research director says she isn’t sure, but she will have her analyst follow up. You notice in the footnotes of the presentation the sample size in the year of 2017 was 200 undergraduates, and that 46 of them continued their education to pursue another degree.
There is a short break in the meeting. Take this opportunity to answer the dean’s question using a confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of students who continued their education in 2018 and 2017. (Use 95% confidence level and note that the university has about 10,000 undergraduate students).
Answer:
(0.102, -0.062)
Step-by-step explanation:
sample size in 2018 = n1 = 216
sample size in 2017 = n2 = 200
number of people who went for another degree in 2018 = x1 = 54
number of people who went for another degree in 2017 = x2 = 46
p1 = x1/n1 = 0.25
p2 = x2/n2 = 0.23
At 95% confidence level, z critical = 1.96
now we have to solve for the confidence interval =
[tex]p1 -p2 ± z*\sqrt{((1-p1)*p1)/n1 + ((1-p2)*p2/n2}[/tex][tex]0.25 -0.23 ± 1.96*\sqrt{((1 - 0.25) * 0.25)/216 + ((1 - 0.23) *0.23/200}[/tex]
= 0.02 ± 1.96 * 0.042
= 0.02 + 0.082 = 0.102
= 0.02 - 0.082 = -0.062
There is 95% confidence that there is a difference that lies between - 0.062 and 0.102 on the proportion of students who continued their education in the years, 2017 and 2018.
There is no significant difference between the two.
The radius of a right circular cylinder is increasing at the rate of 7 in./sec, while the height is decreasing at the rate of 6 in./sec. At what rate is the volume of the cylinder changing when the radius is 20 in. and the height is 16 in.
Answer:
[tex]\approx \bold{6544\ in^3/sec}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Rate of change of radius of cylinder:
[tex]\dfrac{dr}{dt} = +7\ in/sec[/tex]
(This is increasing rate so positive)
Rate of change of height of cylinder:
[tex]\dfrac{dh}{dt} = -6\ in/sec[/tex]
(This is decreasing rate so negative)
To find:
Rate of change of volume when r = 20 inches and h = 16 inches.
Solution:
First of all, let us have a look at the formula for Volume:
[tex]V = \pi r^2h[/tex]
Differentiating it w.r.to 't':
[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \dfrac{d}{dt}(\pi r^2h)[/tex]
Let us have a look at the formula:
[tex]1.\ \dfrac{d}{dx} (C.f(x)) = C\dfrac{d(f(x))}{dx} \ \ \ (\text{C is a constant})\\2.\ \dfrac{d}{dx} (f(x).g(x)) = f(x)\dfrac{d}{dx} (g(x))+g(x)\dfrac{d}{dx} (f(x))[/tex]
[tex]3.\ \dfrac{dx^n}{dx} = nx^{n-1}[/tex]
Applying the two formula for the above differentiation:
[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi\dfrac{d}{dt}( r^2h)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi h\dfrac{d }{dt}( r^2)+\pi r^2\dfrac{dh }{dt}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi h\times 2r \dfrac{dr }{dt}+\pi r^2\dfrac{dh }{dt}[/tex]
Now, putting the values:
[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi \times 16\times 2\times 20 \times 7+\pi\times 20^2\times (-6)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = 22 \times 16\times 2\times 20 +3.14\times 400\times (-6)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = 14080 -7536\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} \approx \bold{6544\ in^3/sec}[/tex]
So, the answer is: [tex]\approx \bold{6544\ in^3/sec}[/tex]
Sarah has $30,000 in her bank account today. Her grand-father has opened this account for her 15 years ago when she was born. Calculate the money that was deposited in the account 15 years ago if money has earned 3.5% p.a. compounded monthly through all these years.
Answer:
Deposit value(P) = $17,760 (Approx)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Future value (F) = $30,000
Number of Year (n) = 15 year = 15 × 12 = 180 month
rate of interest (r) = 3.5% = 0.035 / 12 = 0.0029167
Find:
Deposit value(P)
Computation:
[tex]A = P(1+r)^n\\\\ 30000 = P(1+0.0029167)^{180} \\\\ 30000 = P(1.68917) \\\\ P = 17760.2018[/tex]
Deposit value(P) = $17,760 (Approx)
Find the area of the surface generated by revolving x=t + sqrt 2, y= (t^2)/2 + sqrt 2t+1, -sqrt 2 <= t <= sqrt about the y axis
The area is given by the integral
[tex]\displaystyle A=2\pi\int_Cx(t)\,\mathrm ds[/tex]
where C is the curve and [tex]dS[/tex] is the line element,
[tex]\mathrm ds=\sqrt{\left(\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}\right)^2}\,\mathrm dt[/tex]
We have
[tex]x(t)=t+\sqrt 2\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}=1[/tex]
[tex]y(t)=\dfrac{t^2}2+\sqrt 2\,t+1\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=t+\sqrt 2[/tex]
[tex]\implies\mathrm ds=\sqrt{1^2+(t+\sqrt2)^2}\,\mathrm dt=\sqrt{t^2+2\sqrt2\,t+3}\,\mathrm dt[/tex]
So the area is
[tex]\displaystyle A=2\pi\int_{-\sqrt2}^{\sqrt2}(t+\sqrt 2)\sqrt{t^2+2\sqrt 2\,t+3}\,\mathrm dt[/tex]
Substitute [tex]u=t^2+2\sqrt2\,t+3[/tex] and [tex]\mathrm du=(2t+2\sqrt 2)\,\mathrm dt[/tex]:
[tex]\displaystyle A=\pi\int_1^9\sqrt u\,\mathrm du=\frac{2\pi}3u^{3/2}\bigg|_1^9=\frac{52\pi}3[/tex]
In 2018, the population of a district was 25,000. With a continuous annual growth rate of approximately 4%, what will the
population be in 2033 according to the exponential growth function?
Round the answer to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
40,000 populationsStep-by-step explanation:
Initial population in 2018 = 25,000
Annual growth rate (in %) = 4%
Yearly Increment in population = 4% of 25000
= 4/100 * 25000
= 250*4
= 1000
This means that the population increases by 1000 on yearly basis.
To determine what the population will be in 2033, we need to first know the amount of years we have between 2018 and 2033.
Amount of years we have between 2018 and 2033 = 2033-2018
= 15 years
After 15 years, the population will have increased by 15*1000 i.e 15,000 more than the initial population.
Hence the population in 2033 will be Initial population + Increment after 15years = 25,000+15000 = 40,000 population.

y-(-1) = -9(x-(-9)
y+1 = -9x -81
y = -9x - 82
Randy is walking home from school. According to the diagram above, what is his total distance from school to home? Show your work and include units. If he had a jet pack, would you use distance or displacement? Why?
Answer:
if he needs to walk, we can see that between the street and his house he must walk 4 times a distance of 0.5km, so this is a total of 4¨*0.5km = 2km.
Now he has a jet-pack, he can ignore the buildings and just travel in the shorter path, so we can draw a triangle rectangle, in such a way that the hypotenuse of this triangle is the distance between the home and the school.
One of the cathetus is the vertical distance, in this case, is 1km, and the other one is the horizontal distance, also 1km.
So the actual distance is given by the Pythagorean's theorem:
A^2 + B^2 = H^2
Where A and B are the cathetus, and H is the hypotenuse, then:
H^2 = 1km^2 + 1km^2
H = (√2)km = 1.41km.
Now, in the case that he has a jet-pack, he can actually go to the school using this hypotenuse line as his path, so in this case the distance and the displacement would be the same.
Distance: "how much ground an object has covered"
Displacement: "Difference between the final position and the initial position"
When he walks, the distance is 2km, but the displacement is 1.41km
When he uses the jet-pack, both the distance and the displacement are 1.41km
Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing is we can see in the image, when he walks, that between the house and his school he has to walk four times a distance of 0.5 km. The result of this is a total of 4¨*0.5 km = 2 km. The second thing is that he must walk 2 kilometers. On the other hand, if he has a jetpack, he can simply take the shorter path by ignoring all the buildings. This idea is where we can draw a triangular rectangle on the map in a way so that the hypotenuse of the triangle is the distance between the school and the home. As for the Catheti, it is a vertical distance which in this case is two blocks of 0.5 km. The result is that these catheti have a length of 2*0.5 km = 1 km. The other is the distance of the horizontal line, which is 1 km. The absolute distance of this path is given by Pythagorean's theorem, which is A^2 + B^2 = H^2. Here, A and B are the cathetus, and H is the hypotenuse, then, H^2 = 1 km^2 + 1 km^2. As well, H = (√2)km = 1.41 km. Currently, in the situation where he has a jetpack, he can literally fly to the school utilizing this hypotenuse line for the path he would need to follow. For this specific situation, the displacement, and the distance would be the exact same. The reason for this is that the definitions of displacement and distance are displacement is the difference between the final position and the initial position and distance is how much area an item has covered. Also, when he walks, the distance is 2 km and the displacement is 1.41 km. Also, when he utilizes the jet pack, the distance is equal to the displacement. Both of these are 1.41 km.

What is the value of x to the nearest tenth?
Answer:
x=9.6
Step-by-step explanation:
The dot in the middle represents the center of the circle, so therefore, the line that is represented by 16 is the radius. Since that is the radius, the side that is the hypotenuse of the small triangle is also 16, since they have the same distance.
The line represented by 25.6 with x as its bisector shows that when we divide it by 2, the other side of the triangle besides the hypotenuse is 12.8.
Now that we have the two sides of the triangle, we can find the last side (represented by x). Use pythagorean theorem:
[tex]a^2 +b^2=c^2\\x^2+(12.8)^2=16^2\\x^2+163.84=256\\x^2=92.16\\x=9.6[/tex]

how to write this in number form The difference of 9 and the square of a number
Answer:
9-x^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference of means subtracting. the first number is 9 and the second is x^2, so you get 9-x^2
Two charged particles, Q1, and Q2, are a distance r apart with Q2 = 5Q1 Compare the forces they exert on one another when F1 is the force Q2 exerts on Q1and F2 is the force Q1 exerts on Q2.
a) F2 = 5F1.
b) F2 =-5F1.
c) F2 = F1.
d) F2 = -F1.
e) 5F2 = F1.
Answer:
d) F2 = -F1.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to Coulomb's law of forces on electrostatic charges, the force of attraction is proportional to the product of their charges, and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart.
What this law means is that both particles will experience an equal amount of force on them, due to the presence of the other particle. This force is not just as a result of their individual charges, but as a result of the product of their charges. Also, the force is a vector quantity that must have a direction alongside its magnitude, and the force on the two particles will always act in opposite direction, be it repulsive or attractive.
The distribution of baby weights at birth is left-skewed because of premies (premature babies) who have particularly low birth weights. However, within a close range of gestation times, birth weights are approximately Normally distributed. For babies born at full term (37 to 39 completed weeks of gestation), for instance, the distribution of birth weight (in grams) is approximately N(3350,440).N(3350, 440).10 Low-birth-weight babies (weighing less than 2500 grams, or about 5 pounds 8 ounces) are at an increased risk of serious health problems. Among those, very-low-birth-weight babies (weighing less than 1500 grams, or about 3 pounds 4 ounces) have the highest risk of experiencing health problems.
A. What proportion of babies born full term are low-birth-weight babies?
B. What proportion of babies born full term are very-low-birth-weight babies?
Answer:
a
[tex]P(X < 2500) = 0.02668[/tex]
b
[tex]P(X < 1500) = 0.00001[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 3350[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 440[/tex]
We also told in the question that the birth weight is approximately Normally distributed
i.e [tex]X \ \~ \ N(\mu , \sigma )[/tex]
Given that Low-birth-weight babies weighing less than 2500 grams,then the proportion of babies born full term are low-birth-weight babies is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(X < 2500) = P(\frac{ X - \mu }{\sigma } < \frac{2500 - \mu}{\sigma } )[/tex]
Generally
[tex]\frac{X - \mu}{ \sigma } = Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of \ X )[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X < 2500) = P(Z < \frac{2500 - \mu}{\sigma } )[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]P(X < 2500) = P(Z < \frac{2500 - 3350}{440 } )[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 2500) = P(Z <-1.932 )[/tex]
Now from the standardized normal distribution table(These value can also be obtained from Calculator dot com) the value of
[tex]P(Z <-1.932 ) = 0.02668[/tex]
=> [tex]P(X < 2500) = 0.02668[/tex]
Given that very-low-birth-weight babies (weighing less than 1500 grams,then the proportion of babies born full term are very-low-birth-weight babies is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(X < 1500) = P(\frac{ X - \mu }{\sigma } < \frac{1500 - \mu}{\sigma } )[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 1500) = P(Z < \frac{1500 - \mu}{\sigma } )[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]P(X < 1500) = P(Z < \frac{1500 - 3350}{440 } )[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 1500) = P(Z <-4.205 )[/tex]
Now from the standardized normal distribution table(These value can also be obtained from calculator dot com) the value of
[tex]P(Z <-1.932 ) = 0.00001[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 1500) = 0.00001[/tex]
