Answer:
[tex]\displaystyle x \approx 30.8[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that the figure is a right triangle, and that we are given the length of the side adjacent to x and the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Therefore, we can use the cosine ratio. Recall that:
[tex]\displaystyle \cos \theta = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}[/tex]
The adjacent side is 8.5 and the hypotenuse is 9.9. Therefore:
[tex]\displaystyle \cos x = \frac{8.5}{9.9}[/tex]
We can take the inverse cosine of both sides:
[tex]\displaystyle x = \cos^{-1} \frac{8.5}{9.9}[/tex]
Use a calculator. Hence:
[tex]\displaystyle x \approx 30.8[/tex]

Answer:
[tex]20\sqrt{6}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
In all 30-60-90 triangles, the side lengths are in the ratio [tex]x:x\sqrt{3}:2x[/tex], where [tex]2x[/tex] is the hypotenuse and [tex]x[/tex] is the side opposite to the 30 degree angle. Therefore, the hypotenuse of the 30-60-90 triangle (left) is [tex]2\cdot 10\sqrt{3}=20\sqrt{3}[/tex]. This hypotenuse also represents one leg of the 45-45-90 triangle.
In all 45-45-90 triangles, the side lengths are in ratio [tex]x:x:x\sqrt{2}[/tex] where [tex]x\sqrt{2}[/tex] is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Therefore, since [tex]x[/tex] is the hypotenuse of the triangle marked and [tex]20\sqrt{3}[/tex] is one of the legs, the value of [tex]x[/tex] must be:
[tex]20\sqrt{3}\cdot \sqrt{2}=\boxed{20\sqrt{6}}[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]x = 20\sqrt6[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle with the side that has a measure of ([tex]10 \sqrt{3}[/tex]) is a (30 - 60 - 90) triangle. This means that its angles are (30), (60), and (90) degrees. One property of a (30 - 60 -90) triangle is the ratio of its sides. This ratio, in simple terms, can be defined as the following:
angle : opposite side
[tex]30 : z\\60 : z\sqrt{3}\\90 : 2z[/tex]
Use this property here to find the measure of the side opposite the (90) degree angle, that is shared between the two triangles.
This side is opposite the (30) degree angle, therefore, multiply this side by (2) will yield the measure of the side opposite the (90) degree angle. Therefore the side opposite the (90) degree angle has the following measure:
[tex]20\sqrt{3}[/tex]
The triangle with a side of (x) is a (45 - 45 - 90) triangle. This means that its angles have a measure of (45 - 45 - 90). The ratios of the sides of a (45 - 45 - 90) triangle are as follows:
angle : opposite side
[tex]45:y\\45:y\\90:y\sqrt{2}[/tex]
Apply this ratio here; multiply the side shared between the (30 - 60 - 90) triangle and (45 - 45- 90) triangle by ([tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]) in order to get the side with a measure of (x). When this is done, one gets the following result:
[tex]x = 20\sqrt{3}*\sqrt{2}\\x = 20\sqrt{6}[/tex]
write your answer in simplest radical form
Answer:
[tex] a = 3\sqrt{6} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
θ = 30°
Opposite side length to θ = 3√2 in.
Adjacent side length = a
Apply the trigonometric ratio, TOA:
[tex] tan(\theta) = \frac{Opp}{Adj} [/tex]
Plug in the known values
[tex] tan(30) = \frac{3\sqrt{2}}{a} [/tex]
Multiply both sides by a
[tex] a*tan(30) = 3\sqrt{2} [/tex]
[tex] a*\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = 3\sqrt{2} [/tex] (tan 30 = 1/√3)
Multiply both sides by the inverse of 1/√3 which is √3
[tex] a = 3\sqrt{2}*\sqrt{3} [/tex]
[tex] a = 3\sqrt{2*3} [/tex]
[tex] a = 3\sqrt{6} [/tex]
Write an inequality for the shaded region shown in the figure.
Answer:
y ≥ x^2 - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can see that the shaded region is above what seems to be a parabola, and we also can see that the lines of the parabola are solid lines (which means that the points on the curve itself are solutions, so the symbol ≥ is used)
Then:
y ≥ a*x^2 + b*x + c
where a*x^2 + b*x + c is the general quadratic equation.
Now let's find the equation for the parabola:
f(x) = a*x^2 + b*x + c
We also can see that the vertex of the parabola is at the point (0, -1)
This means that:
f(0) = -1 = a*0^2 + b*0 + c
= -1 = c
then we have that c = -1
Then:
f(x) = a*x^2 + b*x - 1
Now we can look at the graph again, to see that the zeros of the parabola are at +1 and -1
Which means that:
f(1) = 0 = a*1^2 + b*1 - 1 = a + b - 1
f(-1) = 0 = a*(-1)^2 + b*(-1) - 1 = a - b - 1
Then we got two equations:
a + b - 1 = 0
a - b - 1 = 0
from this we can conclude that b must be zero.
Then:
b = 0
and these equations become:
a - 1 = 0
a - 1 = 0
solving for a, we get:
a = 1
Then the quadratic equation is:
f(x) = 1*x^2 + 0*x - 1
f(x) = x^2 - 1
And the inequality is:
y ≥ x^2 - 1
A right prism of height 15 cm has bases that are right triangles with legs 5 cm and 12 cm. Find the total surface area of the prism. Please explain.
a) 315 cm2 squared
b) 480 cm2 squared
c) 510 cm2 squared
d) 570 cm2
Answer:
Option (C)
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface area of a right prism = 2(Area of the triangular base) + Ph
Here, P = Perimeter of the base
h = Height of the prism
Area of the triangular base = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{Height})(\text{Base})[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}(5)(12)[/tex]
= 30 cm²
Height of the prism = 15 cm
Perimeter of the base = (5 + 12 + 13)
= 30 cm
Surface area of the right prism = 2(30) + 30(15)
= 60 + 450
= 510 cm²
Therefore, Option (C) will be the correct option.

PLEASE ANSWER!!!!! A car traveled s kilometers in 6 hours with a speed of v kilometers per hour. Express the dependence of s on v. Using the formula, find: v for s=363
In this question, the relations between velocity, distance and time are explored to first express the dependence of s on v, given the data in the exercise, and then to find the value of v for which s = 363.
-------------------------
Relation between velocity, distance, and time:
We have that velocity is distance divided by time, that is:
[tex]v = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]
In which v is the velocity, d is the distance, and t is the time.
-------------------------
A car traveled s kilometers in 6 hours with a speed of v kilometers per hour.
This means that [tex]d = s, t = 6[/tex]
-------------------------
Express the dependence of s on v.
Taking the above values of d and t, and the formula, we have that:
[tex]v = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]
[tex]v = \frac{s}{6}[/tex]
[tex]s = 6v[/tex]
Thus, the dependence of s on v can be expressed as: [tex]s = 6v[/tex]
-------------------------
Using the formula, find: v for s=363
We have that:
[tex]s = 6v[/tex]
And thus
[tex]v = \frac{s}{6}[/tex]
Considering [tex]s = 363[/tex]:
[tex]v = \frac{363}{6} = 60.5[/tex]
Thus, for s = 363, v = 60.5.
For an example of a problem using this formula, you can check here: https://brainly.com/question/14307500
Answer:
v=s/6 is the formula

The average 30- to 39-year old man is 69.5 inches tall, with a standard deviation of 2.7 inches, while the average 30- to 39-year old woman is 64.2 inches tall, with a standard deviation of 3.2 inches. Who is relatively taller based on their comparison to their gender, LeBron James at 81 inches or Candace Parker at 76 inches?
a) Candace is relatively taller because she has a larger z-score.
b) LeBron is relatively taller because he has a larger z-score.
c) LeBron is relatively taller because he has a smaller z-score.
d) Candace is relatively taller because she has a smaller z-score.
Answer:
b) LeBron is relatively taller because he has a larger z-score.
Step-by-step explanation:
Z-score:
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.
LeBron James:
Height of 81 inches, while the average 30- to 39-year old man is 69.5 inches tall, with a standard deviation of 2.7 inches, which means that we have to find Z when [tex]X = 81, \mu = 69.5, \sigma = 2.7[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{81 - 69.5}{2.7}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 4.26[/tex]
Candace Parker:
Height of 76 inches, while the average 30- to 39-year old woman is 64.2 inches tall, with a standard deviation of 3.2 inches. This means that we have to find Z when [tex]X = 76, \mu = 64.2, \sigma = 3.2[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{76 - 64.2}{3.2}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 3.69[/tex]
Who is relatively taller?
Due to the higher z-score, LeBron James, and thus, the correct answer is given by option b.
Michelin Tires would like to estimate the average tire life of its Latitude Tour tire in terms of howmany miles it lasts. Assume the standard deviation for the tire life of this particular brand is 6000miles. Determine the sample size needed to construct a 95% confidence interval with a margin oferror within 2000 miles.ShowWork:
Answer:
6 samples
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Sample size, = n
Standard deviation, = 6000
Margin of Error = 2000
Confidence interval, α = 95%
Zcritical at 95% = 1.96
n = (Zcritical * σ) / margin of error
n = (1.96 * 6000) /2000
n = 11760 / 2000
n = 5.88
n = 6 samples
In investing $6,200 of a couple's money, a financial planner put some of it into a savings account paying 4% annual simple interest.

Answer:
$ 2,600 was invested at 4% and $ 3,600 was invested at 9%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that in investing $ 6,200 of a couple's money, a financial planner put some of it into a savings account paying 4% annual simple interest, and the rest was invested in a riskier mini-mall development plan paying 9% annual simple interest, and the combined interest earned for the first year was $ 428, to determine how much money was invested at each rate, the following calculation must be performed:
3000 x 0.04 + 3200 x 0.09 = 408
2500 x 0.04 + 3700 x 0.09 = 433
2600 x 0.04 + 3600 x 0.09 = 428
Therefore, $ 2,600 was invested at 4% and $ 3,600 was invested at 9%.

The profit (in thousands of dollars) of a company is given by P(x) = -8x2 + 32x + 14.
Find the maximum profit of the company.
O a. 40 thousand dollars
O b. 45 thousand dollars
O c. 46 thousand dollars
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The profit (in thousands of dollars) of a company is given by the function:
[tex]\displaystyle P(x) = -8x^2+32x+14[/tex]
And we want to find the maximum profit of the company.
Since the function is a quadratic with a negative leading coefficient, the maximum profit will occur at its vertex. Recall that the vertex of a quadratic is given by:
[tex]\displaystyle \text{Vertex} = \left(-\frac{b}{2a}, f\left(-\frac{b}{2a}\right)\right)[/tex]
Find the x-coordinate of the vertex. In this case, a = -8, b = 32, and c = 14. Hence:
[tex]\displaystyle x=-\frac{(32)}{2(-8)}=\frac{32}{16}=2[/tex]
To find the maximum profit, substitute this value back into the function. Hence:
[tex]\displaystyle P(2) = -8(2)^2+32(2) + 14 = 46[/tex]
Therefore, the maximum profit of the company is 46 thousand dollars.
Our answer is C.

Find the value of x in each case:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
x = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
The interior angle at E is (180-2x). The interior angle at F is (180-4x). The sum of the interior angles of the triangle is 180, so we have ...
(180 -2x) +x +(180 -4x) = 180
180 = 5x . . . . . . add 5x-180 to both sides
36 = x . . . . . . . divide by 5
__
Additional comment
This value of x makes the exterior angles at E and F be 72° and 144°, respectively. The internal angles at E, F, G are then 108°, 36°, 36°, making the triangle isosceles with EF = EG.

Factor using Rational Root Theorem.
This means our possible roots are
positve or negative (1,2,3,6). If we try positve 1, it is indeed a root.
This means that
[tex](x - 1)[/tex]
is a root.
We can divide the top equation by the root (x-1). Our new equation is
[tex]( {x}^{2} + x - 6)[/tex]
Now we can factor this completely
[tex](x + 3)(x - 2)[/tex]
So this equation in factored form is
[tex](x + 3)(x - 2)(x - 1)[/tex]
what is a 6 digit number that is divisible by 3 but not 2,4,5
Answer:
375681
Step-by-step explanation:
this number consists of 6 digits, which are divided by 3 in total. for example, 372-3+7+2=12..12:3=4 so 372 is divisible by 3
next, it's odd number
it doesn't end with 5 and it doesn't end with 0
and the last thing, it doesn't end with 2 numbers, which is divided by 4. for example, 524...24 is divided by 4, so 524 is divided too
so it may be number like
375681...3+7+5+6+8+1=30 so it's divided by 3
it isn't divided by 2 because it's odd number
isn't divided by 5, because it doesn't end with 5 or 0
and isn't divided by 4, because we can't divide 81 by 4
it can be another number, as you wish. you can create it by yourself

a) The point estimate for the population mean cost of fast food bills at this restaurant is $18.21.
b) The 95% margin of error is $1.64.
c) The 95% confidence interval for the population mean cost of fast food bills at this restaurant is: $16.57 ≤ µ ≤ $19.85.
d) The sample size needed is 135.
Question a:
The point estimate for the population mean is the sample mean, which is of $18.21.
The point estimate for the population mean cost of fast food bills at this restaurant is $18.21.
Question b:
We have to find our level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of .
That is z with a p-value of , so Z = 1.96.
Now, find the margin of error M as such
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
[tex]M = 1.96\frac{5.92}{\sqrt{50}} = 1.64[/tex]
The 95% margin of error is $1.64.
(c) State the 95% confidence interval for the population mean cost of fast food bills at this restaurant.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 18.21 - 1.64 = 16.57
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 18.21 + 1.64 = 19.85
The 95% confidence interval for the population mean cost of fast food bills at this restaurant is: $16.57 ≤ µ ≤ $19.85.
(d) What sample size is needed if the error must not exceed $1.00?
This is n for which M = 1. So
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]1 = 1.96\frac{5.92}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{n} = 1.96*5.92[/tex]
[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (1.96*5.92)^2[/tex]
[tex]n = 134.6[/tex]
Rounding up:
The sample size needed is 135.
