The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 5 inches long. One of the legs is 1 inch longer than the other. What is the length (in inches) of the longer leg?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  4  inches

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We gonna find the the length of the right triangle legs using Phitagor theorem.

c²=a²+b²  (1)   , where c is triangle's  hypotenuse

a and b are the triangle's  legs.

Let the leg a =x,    so leg b=x+1 inches

Now we can write the equation using (1)

25=x²+(x+1)²

25=x²+x²+2*x+1

2*x²+2*x-24=0     ( divide by 2 both sides of the equation)

x²+x-12=0

Find the discriminant D=1+12*4=49

√D=7

x1= (-1+7)/2=3     x2=(-1-7)/2=-4 - x2=-4 not possible so length of the leg can not be negative.

So the shorter leg a=x= 3 inches

The longer leg b=x+1=4 inches

Gina, Sam, and Robby all rented movies from the same video store. They each rented some dramas, comedies, and documentaries. Gina rented 11 movies total. Sam rented twice as many dramas, three times as many comedies, and twice as many documentaries as Gina. He rented 27 movies total. If Robby rented 19 movies total with the same number of dramas, twice as many comedies, and twice as many documentaries as Gina, how many movies of each type did Gina rent?

Answers

Hi there! :)

Answer:

Gina rented 3 dramas, 5 comedies, and 3 documentaries.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we will need to set up a system of equations:

Let x = # of dramas, y = # of comedies, and z = # of documentaries:

Write equations to represent each person:

Gina:

x + y + z = 11

Sam:

2x + 3y + 2z = 27

Robby:

x + 2y + 2z = 19

Write the system:

x + y + z = 11

2x + 3y + 2z = 27

x + 2y + 2z = 19

Begin by subtracting the third equation from the second:

2x + 3y + 2z = 27

x + 2y + 2z = 19

-----------------------

x + y = 8

If x + y = 8, plug this into the first equation:

(8) + z = 11

z = 11 - 8

z = 3

We found the # of documentaries Gina rented, now we must solve for the other variables:

Subtract the top equation from the third. Substitute in the value of z we solved for:

x + 2y + 2(3) = 19

x + y + (3) = 11

-------------------------

y + 3 = 8

y = 5

Substitute in the values for y and z to solve for x:

x + 5 + 3 = 11

x + 8 = 11

x = 11 - 8

x = 3.

Therefore, Gina rented 3 dramas, 5 comedies, and 3 documentaries.

Answer:

B- x + y + z = 11

2x + 3y + 2z = 27

x + 2y + 2z = 19

A video rental store keeps a list of their top 15 movie rentals each week. This week the list includes 6 action, 4 comedies, 3 dramas, and 2 mysteries. The store manager removes a copy of each of the 15 movies from the shelf, then randomly selects 3 of the 15 to show on the display monitors in the store. What is the probability that she selected 2 comedies and 1 action movie?

Answers

Answer:

32/1125

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

Probability = Expected outcome of event/Total outcome.

If a video rental store keeps a list of their top 15 movie rentals each week, the total outcome is 15.

If the list for the week includes 6 action, 4 comedies, 3 dramas, and 2 mysteries and the store manager removes a copy of each of the 15 movies from the shelf, then randomly selects 3 of the 15 to show on the display monitors in the store, the probability that she selected 2 comedies and 1 action movie will be calculated as shown;

Probability of selecting 2 comedies  = 4/15*4/15 = 16/225 (Note that the expected outcome in this case is 4).

Probability of selecting 1 action movie = 6/15 = 2/5

Hence, the probability that she selected 2 comedies and 1 action movie will be equivalent to 16/225*2/5 = 32/1125

Note that the rented movies will have to be returned hence reason for the replacement.

Kristin is building a pattern using triangles. The table shows the number of triangles in the first 4 terms of the pattern.

Number of Triangles (t) 1 3 5 7
Which formula describes the number of triangles in the nth term of the pattern?
O A n=1+2
O B. n=1+3
Oc. n = 21-1
OD n = 2t + 3

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\bold{n =2t-1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given table is:

[tex]\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ c c}Term Number (t) & Number of triangles (n) \\ 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 3 \\ 3 & 5 \\ 4 & 7 \\\end{tabular}\end{center}[/tex]

i.e. when term number, t = 1, number of triangles (n) = 1

when term number, t = 2, number of triangles (n) = 3

when term number, t = 3, number of triangles (n) = 5

when term number, t = 4, number of triangles (n) = 7

If we closely look at the pattern, number of triangles (n) in each row are 1 lesser than twice of term number (t).

i.e. for [tex]t=1, n = 2\times 1 -1=1[/tex]

[tex]t=2, n = 2\times 2 -1=3[/tex]

[tex]t=3, n = 2\times 3 -1=5[/tex]

[tex]t=4, n = 2\times 4 -1=7[/tex]

Therefore, the number of triangles in the nth term will be given as:

[tex]\bold{n =2t-1}[/tex]

Answer:

an = 2t -1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are adding 2 each time

1+2 =3

3+2 = 5

5+2 = 7

an is the nth term in the sequence  and t is the number of triangle

an =1+ 2(t-1)

Distribute

an = 1 +2t -2

an = 2t -1

A box is filled with 8 blue cards, 6 red cards, and 6 yellow cards. A card is chosen at a random from the box. What is the probability that the card is not red ? Write your answer as a fraction.

Answers

Answer:

14/20 or .7 or 70%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Number of cards: 20

10
G(X) = x2

Fx) = ?

Answers

Answer:

D. F(x) = ( (1/5)x)^2 - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard transformation with a stretch and a shift is

F(x) = f(x/b) + k

The red curve has a vertex at (0,-4), and cuts the x-axis at (10,0)

That means that before the vertical shift (of k=-4), the vertex was at (0,0), and the curves passes through (10,4).

Substituting in the equation

F(10) = (10/b)^2 -4 = 0

solve for b

(10/b)^2-4 = 0

(10/b)= sqrt(4) = 2

b = 10/2 = 5

Therefore the transformation equation is

F(x) = (x/5)^2-4

The answer is

F(x) = ( (1/5)x)^2 - 4

Lila is camping with her family. She wants to hike to the lake, go fishing, and hike back before 6:05 P.M. It will take 1 hour and 10 minutes to hike to the lake and 1 hour and 50 minutes to hike back. Lila wants to fish for 3 hours and 10 minutes. What is the latest time Lila can start the hike to the lake?

Answers

Lila will need to start the hike at 11: 55 a.m. to be back at exactly 6: 05 p.m. or at 11: 54 a.m. to be before 6: 05 p.m (6: 04 p.m.)

Explanation:

To solve this question, the first step is to calculate how much time does hiking to the lake, go fishing, and go back takes in total. This can be calculated by adding the time of the three activities. This means 1 hour 10 minutes + 3 hours 10 minutes + 1 hour 50 minutes which is equal to 6 hours 10 minutes. The detailed process is shown below.

Add the hours: 1 + 3 + 1 = 5

Add the minutes: 10+50 +10 = 70

Also, because the total of minutes is above 60 (each hour has 60 minutes) it is necessary to subtract 60 minutes and add 1 hour.

5 hours + 1 hour and 70 minutes - 60 minutes = 6 hours and 10 minutes

Now, to solve the question subtract the time of the activities to the time Lila needs to complete all the activities.

6: 05 p.m.  -  6 hours and 10 minutes = 11: 55 a.m

You can get this result by substracting first the hours and then the minutes

6: 05 p.m. - 6 hours = 12: 05 p.m.

12: 05 - 10 minutes = 11: 55 a.m.

According to this, Lila will need to start the hike at 11: 55 a.m. to be back at exactly 6: 05 p.m. or at 11: 54 a.m. to be before 6: 05 a.m because if she starts at 11: 54 a.m. she will be back at 6:04, which is a minute before 6:05 p.m.

What is the rise over run for the slope -11/9

Answers

Answer:  11 down and 9 right

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope IS rise over run where the top number of the fraction (numerator) determines the vertical distance --> positive is up, negative is down

and the bottom number of the fraction (denominator) determines the horizontal distance --> positive is right, negative is left.

Given slope = -11/9

the numerator is -11 so the "rise" is  DOWN 11 units

the denominator is 9 so the "run" is RIGHT 9 units

An honest die is rolled. If the roll comes out even (2, 4, or 6), you will win $1; if the roll comes out odd (1,3, or 5), you will lose $1, Suppose that in one evening you play this game n=2500 times in a row.
(a) Estimate the probability that by the end of the evening you will not have lost any money.
(b) Estimate the probability that the number of "even rolls" (roll a 2, 4, or 6) will fall between 1250 and 1300.
(c) Estimate the probability that you will win $100 or more.

Answers

Answer:

(a) 50%

(b) 47.5%

(c) 2.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the honest coin principle, if the random variable X denotes the number of heads in n tosses of an honest coin (n ≥ 30), then X has an approximately normal distribution with mean, [tex]\mu=\frac{n}{2}[/tex] and standard deviation, [tex]\sigma=\frac{\sqrt{n}}{2}[/tex].

Here the number of tosses is, n = 2500.

Since n is too large, i.e. n = 2500 > 30, the random variable X follows a normal distribution.

The mean and standard deviation are:

[tex]\mu=\frac{n}{2}=\frac{2500}{2}=1250\\\\\sigma=\frac{\sqrt{n}}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{2500}}{2}=25[/tex]

(a)

To not lose any money the even rolls has to be 1250 or more.

Since, μ = 1250 it implies that the 50th percentile is also 1250.

Thus, the probability that by the end of the evening you will not have lost any money is 50%.

(b)

If the number of "even rolls" is 1250, it implies that the percentile of 1250 is 50th.

Then for number of "even rolls" as 1300,

1300 = 1250 + 2 × 25

        = μ + 2σ

Then P (μ + 2σ) for a normally distributed data is 0.975.

⇒ 1300 is at the 97.5th percentile.

Then the area between 1250 and 1300 is:

Area = 97.5% - 50%

        = 47.5%

Thus, the probability that the number of "even rolls" will fall between 1250 and 1300 is 47.5%.

(c)

To win $100 or more the number of even rolls has to at least 1300.

From part (b) we now 1300 is the 97.5th percentile.

Then the probability that you will win $100 or more is:

P (Win $100 or more) = 100% - 97.5%

                                   = 2.5%.

Thus, the probability that you will win $100 or more is 2.5%.

Is this procedure likely to result in the entire batch being accepted?

Answers

Complete question is;

Among 8834 cases of heart pacemaker malfunctions, 504 were found to be caused by firmware, which is software programmed into the device. If the firmware is tested in three different pacemakers randomly selected from this batch of 8834 and the entire batch is accepted if there are no failures, what is the probability that the firmware in the entire batch will be accepted? Is this procedure likely to result in the entire batch being accepted?

Answer:

P(All three are not caused by firmware) = 83.84%

Probability that the entire batch will be accepted = 0.8384

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that out of the 8834 cases of heart pacemaker malfunctions, 504 were found to be caused by firmware.

Thus,

Cases not caused by firmware = 8834 - 504 = 8330

So, probability of the first case not being affected by firmware is;

P(first case not caused by firmware) = 8330/8834

Also,

Probability of second case not being affected by firmware is given as;

P(second case not caused by firmware|first case not affected by firmware) = 8329/8833

Similarly,

Probability of third case not being affected by firmware is given as;

P(third case not caused by firmware|first and second not caused by firmware) = 8328/8832

Now, looking at the 3 Probabilities gotten, it is obvious that the events are not independent because the probability of occurence of one event depends on the probability of occurence of the other event.

Thus, we will make use of the general multiplication rule which is;

P(A & B) = P(B) × P(A|B)

Thus;

P(All three not caused by firmware) = P(first case not caused by firmware) × P(second case not caused by firmware|first case not affected by firmware) × P(third case not caused by firmware|first and second not caused by firmware)

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

P(All three not caused by firmware) = (8330/8834) × (8329/8833) × (8328/8832)

P(All three are not caused by firmware) = 0.83840506679 ≈ 83.84%

George's height is 1.75 meters and Martha's height is 160 centimeters. How much taller is George than Martha in millimeters?

Answers

Converting 1.75 meters to mm :
1.75*100*10=1750 mm
Converting 160 cm to mm:
160*10=1600 mm
George=1750mm
Martha=1600mm
George-Martha = 150 mm
George is 150 mm taller than Martha

George should be 150 mm taller than Martha.

Calculation of the height in millimeters:

Since George's height is 1.75 meters and Martha's height is 160 centimeters.

So here we convert the meters to mm

So,

[tex]= 1.75\times 100\\\[/tex]

= 1750 mm

what are the comparison symbols for 5/6 and 2/5, 4/10 and 7/8, and 3/12 and 1/4

Answer like this: Example

=
<
>

Answers

Answer:

5/6 > 2/44/10 < 7/83/12 = 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The comparison will be the same if you subtract the right side and compare to zero:

  a/b ?? c/d . . . . . . . using ?? for the unknown comparison symbol

  a/b - c/d ?? 0 . . . . subtract the fraction on the right

  (ad -bc)/bd ?? 0 . . . combine the two fractions

  ad - bc ?? 0 . . . . . . multiply by bd to make the job easier

__

5/6 and 2/5

  5(5) -6(2) = 25 -12 > 0   ⇒   5/6 > 2/5

4/10 and 7/8

  4(8) -10(7) = 48 - 70 < 0   ⇒   4/10 < 7/8

3/12 and 1/4

  3(4) -12(1) = 0   ⇒   3/12 = 1/4

_____

Of course, you can use your calculator (or your memory) to change each of these to a decimal equivalent. The comparison should be easy at that point.

  0.833 > 0.400

  0.400 < 0.875

  0.250 = 0.250

A European study of thousands of men found that the PSA screening for prostate cancer reduced the risk of a man’s dying from prostate cancer from 3.0 percent to 2.4 percent. "But it’s already a small risk. I don’t think a difference of less than 1 percent would be of practical importance," said Ed. Do you agree with Ed’s conclusion?

Answers

Answer:

Following are the answer to this question:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given statement, we don't agree with Ed’s conclusion, because it is not relevant simply since it is not statistically significant. The reduction of prostate cancer is the death risk, which is highly significant even if it decreases significantly. It can also be something statistically important without becoming important.
