isosceles triangle abc has a perimeter of 96 centimeters. the base of the triangle is line segment a c and measures 24 centimeters.

Answers

The measure of the line segment AB is  36cm .

In the question ,

it is given that ,

The triangle ABC is a isosceles triangle ,

that means side AB = side BC ,

and the length of base AC = 24 cm .

given the perimeter of the triangle is 96 cm .

So ,

AB + BC + AC = 96

AB + AB + AC = 96       .....because AB = BC

2AB + AC = 96

Substituting the value of AC = 24 cm

2AB + 24 = 96

Subtracting 24 from both the sides , we get

2AB = 96 - 24

2AB = 72

Dividing both sides by 2 ,

we get ,

AB = 72/2 = 36 .

Therefore , The measure of the line segment AB is  36cm .

Answers

The given equation is a combined variation.

We have been given an equation is

[tex]\frac{xy}{z}[/tex]

This is an equation in which we have three variables and one constant.

This can not be the case of direct or inverse variation because in direct or inverse variation we have only two variables. Whereas, here we have three variables.

So, Direct and inverse options are discarded.

So, either It can be joint or combined

In joint variation both the variables are directly proportional

Hence, given equation is not joint because if we rewrite the equation we will get [tex]y = \frac{cz}{x}[/tex] both the variables are not directly proportional.

In combined, one variable is directly proportional and the other one is inversely proportional.

From [tex]y = \frac{cz}{x}[/tex]  we can see that z is directly proportional and x is inversely proportional.

Find the measure of all three interior angles and exterior angles

Answers

Check the picture below.

Answer:

Exterior angle: 86°

Base angle: 43°

Base angle: 43°

Third angle: 94°

Step-by-step explanation:

First we'll find x, then calculate all the angles.

There is a mark on two of the sides of the triangle. Two sides are the same. This is an isosceles triangle. So that means the base angles are the same also. One is marked 5x - 12, so the other base angle is also 5x - 12.

The marked exterior angle has a special relationship with the two remote interior angles.

If you add the two remote interior angles it equals the exterior angle.

8x-2 = 5x-12 + 5x-12

Combine like terms.

8x - 2 = 10x - 24

Subtract 8x.

-2 = 2x - 24

Add 24.

22 = 2x

Divide by 2.

11 = x

Now we can find all the angles.

The exterior angle is 8x - 2

= 8(11) - 2

= 88 - 2

= 86°

Base angle is 5x - 12

= 5(11) - 12

= 55 - 12

= 43°

The last angle in the triangle is a linear pair with the exterior angle. Or (Also,) the three angles in the triangle add up to 180°.

Angle+43°+43°=180°

Angle + 86 = 180

Angle = 94°

Pythagoras theorem states that “In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides“.

A rectangle has 4 angles measure of each is 90°.

A diagonal of rectangle divides it into two right angled triangles.

Pythagorean theorem can be applied on these triangles to get the desired values.

According to the given question:  

Let the length and breadth of rectangle be  x  and  y .

Perimeter:  2x + 2y = 68 (Given)

Using Pythagorean theorem diagonal:  [tex]x^2+y^2=26^2[/tex]

For the given infinite geometric sequence,

(b) The two possible values of m are -8 and 5.

(c) The two possible values of r are [tex]-\frac{2}{3}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

What are Geometric Series?

A geometric sequence's finite or infinite terms are added together to form a geometric series. The geometric series that corresponds to the geometric sequence a, [tex]a,ar, ar^{2} ,..., ar^{n-1} ,...[/tex] is [tex]a+ar+ar^{2}+...+ar^{n-1} +...[/tex] Clearly, "series" means "sum." The phrase "geometric series" refers specifically to the total of words with a common ratio between every adjacent pair of them. Finite and infinite geometric series are both possible.

What is the Common Ratio of an Infinite Geometric Sequence?

The common ratio (r) of a geometric sequence or series is defined as the ratio between the two consecutive terms of it.The common ratio of an infinite geometric sequence, [tex]a_{0} , a_{1} ,a_{2} ,a_{3} ,...[/tex] is given as [tex]r=\frac{a_{1} }{a_{0} } =\frac{a_{2}}{1}[/tex]

In the question, the first three terms of an infinite geometric sequence are given as, m-1, 6, m+8

[tex]\implies a_{0} =m-1, a_{1}=6,[/tex] and [tex]a_{2}=m+8[/tex]

So, the common ratio is calculated as,

[tex]r=\frac{6}{m-1}=\frac{m+8}{6}[/tex]

Here, there are two expressions,

[tex]r=\frac{6}{m-1}[/tex]    ------(1), and  [tex]r= \frac{m+8}{6}[/tex]  ------(2)

Simplifying (1), we get

[tex]r(m-1)=6[/tex]  -----(3)

Simplifying (2), we get

[tex]6r=m+8\\\implies r= \frac{m}{6}+\frac{8}{6}[/tex]   ------(4)

Now, substituting the values of (4) in (3), we get

[tex](\frac{m}{6}+\frac{8}{6})(m-1)=6\\\implies \frac{m^{2} }{6}-\frac{m}{6} +\frac{2m}{3}-\frac{2}{3} =6\\\implies m^{2}+3m-4=36\\[/tex]

Solving further, we get

[tex]\implies m^{2}+3m-40=0\\\implies m=5, m=-8[/tex]

So, when [tex]m=5, r=\frac{6}{5-1}=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Also, when [tex]m=-8, r=\frac{6}{-8-1}=-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Therefore, (a) the two expressions for r are [tex]r=\frac{6}{m-1}[/tex] and [tex]r= \frac{m+8}{6}[/tex]

(b) The two possible values of m are -8 and 5.

(c) The two possible values of r are [tex]-\frac{2}{3}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Messages arrive at an electronic mail server at the average rate of 4 messages every 5 minutes. Their number is modeled by a binomial counting process. (a) What frame length makes the probability of a new message arrival during a given frame equal 0.05? (b) Suppose that 50 messages arrived during some 1-hour period. Does this indicates that the arrival rate is on the increase? Use frames computed in (a).

Answers

There is a modest rise in arrival rates as compared to the prior arrival because the value is bigger than 0.05. It is a minuscule rise.

Given that,

The Message is arrive at an electronic mall server at the average

rate is 4 messages for every 5 minutes. Then the average

number of message is said to be a and mean is 4 to 5 interval.

Therefore ,we can use poission's approximation  to binomial  distribution in this case,

λ=4/5 min

( a ) Then , The Number of messages arrived in 1 hour

4x 12 = 48 . , So 48 messages per hour.

Now , our New arrival rate of messages , λ =48

By using possion's distribution ,

θ = time/rate

= 60/48= 1.25

NOW

probability density function of X is given as

f (x ) = θ e^-θx

for X>0

Given , the probability of new message arrival during given frame

equal is 0.05

p (X > x ) = 0.05

Now , of θ ∫e^-θx dx  = 0. 05 .

then, e^-θx =0.05

Apply logarithm on both sides , then

In( e^-θx) = In 0.05

By solving,

1- 25

X = 2. 39658

(b) Now , probability of arrival of 50 messages in 60 minutes

p (X>2.39658 ) = 0.05

Now arrival gap is θ = 60/50 = 1.2

P(x> 2.39658 ) =e^-θx

=e^- 1- 2 * 2.39658 = 0.0564

NOW ,

p(x>2- 39658) = 0.0564.

It is greater than 0.05 , so it is called there is slight increase in arrival rates as compared to the previous arrival. It is very small increase .

Please write a linear equation that has m=-4 and has an x-intercept of (5,0)!

Answers

Answer:

If you use y = mx + b, your equation would be y = -4x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

M is always the slope, and to find the x-intercept, you just set y = 0 and in this case it would be 0 = -4x + 20. If you subtract 20 from both sides you get -20 = -4x and to find x, you just divide by -4 and get -20/-4, which equals 5. You're welcome :)

We need to determine the value of the y-intercept for this equation. Let's start by finding all other information about the x-intercept.

If the x-intercept is x = 5, f(5) = 0. So, now let's solve for b.

f(5) = -4(5) + b
0 = -4(5) + b
0 = -20 + b
0 + 20 = -20 + 20 + b
b = 20

We have m and b now, so:

y = -4x + 20

C. Multiply the first equation by 1/3 and add it to the second equation

D. Multiply the second equation by 3 and add it to the first equation

Determining strategies that would help solve system of equations by elimination

From the question we are to determine the strategies that would eliminate a variable to help solve the system of equations.

The given system of equations is

12x + 5y = 7

-4x + 10y = -7

To eliminate y,

Multiply the first equation by -2 and add it to the second equation

-2 × [12x + 5y = 7]

-24x - 10y = -14

Now add to the second equation

 -24x - 10y = -14

+ (-4x + 10y = -7

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

-28x = -21

To eliminate x

Multiply the first equation by 1/3 and add it to the second equation

1/3 × [12x + 5y = 7

4x + 5/3y = 7/3

Now, add it to the second equation

   4x + 5/3y = 7/3

+ (-4x + 10y = -7

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

5/3y + 10y = 7/3 + (-7)

Also, to eliminate x

Multiply the second equation by 3 and add it to the first equation

3 × [-4x + 10y = -7

-12x + 30y = -21

Now, add to the first equation

  -12x + 30y = -21

The volume of the fully inflated balloon is 267.95 cubic inches, the volume of half-inflated balloon is 133.97 cubic inches and it's radius is 3.17in

Volume of a Sphere

The volume of sphere is the measure of space that can be occupied by a sphere. If we draw a circle on a sheet of paper, take a circular disc, paste a string along its diameter and rotate it along the string. This gives us the shape of a sphere.

The formula of a sphere is given as

v = 4/3πr³

But diameter = 2 * radius

radius = diameter / 2

radius = 8/2

radius = 4in

The volume of the fully inflated balloon will be

v = 4/3πr³

v = 4/3 * 3.14 * 4³

v = 267.95in³

The volume of the fully inflated balloon is 267.95in³

b) The volume of the half-inflated balloon will half the size of the current volume

v = 267.95in³ / 2 = 133.97in³

c) v = 4/3πr³

133.97 = 4/3 * 3.14 * r³

r = 3.17in

Determine the equation of the polynomial, f(x), of minimum degree whose graph is shown above. Write your answer in factored form.
f(x)=____

Answers

Answer:

[tex]f(x)=\frac{5}{6}(x+2)^2(x-1)(x-3)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The root -2 has a multiplicity of 2, and corresponds to a factor of [tex](x+2)^2[/tex].

The root 1 has a multiplicity of 1, and corresponds to a factor of [tex](x-1)[/tex].

The root 3 has a multiplicity of 1, and corresponds to a factor of [tex](x-3)[/tex].

So, [tex]f(x)=a(x+2)^2(x-1)(x-3)[/tex].

Since [tex]f(0)=10[/tex],

[tex]10=a(0+2)^2(0-1)(0-3) \\ \\ 10=12a \\ \\ a=\frac{5}{6} \\ \\ \therefore f(x)=\frac{5}{6}(x+2)^2(x-1)(x-3)[/tex]

an article summarizes a report of law enforcement agencies regarding the use of social media to screen applicants for employment. the report was based on a survey of 731 law enforcement agencies. one question on the survey asked if the agency routinely reviewed applicants' social media activity during background checks. for purposes of this exercise, suppose that the 731 agencies were selected at random, and that you want to use the survey data to decide if there is convincing evidence that more than 25% of law enforcement agencies review applicants' social media activity as part of routine background checks.

a) The sampling proportion's mean value is 0.25. 0.016 is the standard deviation. The form resembles a bell.

b) There is a 10% possibility of getting this number, p=0.27 or more, given a sample proportion, so I wouldn't be surprised.

c) Since there is no chance that the sample fraction of 0.31 will occur, I would be shocked if it did.

Given,

a) The null hypothesis proportion would be the middle of the sampling distribution (p-0.25). So, p=0.25 is the sampling proportion's mean value.

This would be the standard deviation:

σp = √(p (1 - p) / n) = √(0.25 × 0.75/731) = 0.016

The distribution would resemble a binomial distribution, hence the form would be bell-shaped.

b) By calculating the z-value and checking for its probability in the standard normal distribution, we may determine the likelihood of a value p=0.27 in this distribution.

z = (p - π) / σp = (0.27 - 0.25) / 0.016 = 0.02/0.016  = 1.25

p(z > 1.25) = 0.106

There is a 10% probability of achieving this value, p=0.27 or more, for a sample proportion, so I wouldn't be surprised.

c) We repeat the calculation for p=0.31

z = (p - π) / σp = (0.31 - 0.25) / 0.016 = 0.06/0.016  = 5

p(z > 5) = 0.000

I would be astonished to see that value because the probability of this sample fraction occurring at p=0.31 is zero.

how to solve this and answer

Answers

After simplifying the equation, the chemist used 18 liters of 20% solution, 12 liters of 35% solution and 24 liters of 80% solution.

From the given question,

Let that chemist used x, y, z liters of 20%, 35% and 80% solution respectively.

Then according to the given information,

x+y+z=54..........(1)

As we know that in x liters having 20% acid, in y liters having 35% acid, in z liters having 80% acid and in total mixture having 50% acid.

So the equation should be

x ×20%+y×35%+z×80%=54×50%

On simplifying we get

20x+35y+80z=2700

4x+7y+16z=540...............(2)

As given that the number of 80% solution used in 2 times the number of liters of 35% solution used.

So z=2y

Now putting the value of z in equation (1)

x+y+2y=54

x+3y=54

Subtract 3y on both side

x+3y−3y=54−3y

x=54−3y

Now putting the value of x and z in equation (2)

4(54−3y)+7y+16×2y=540

Simplifying

216−12y+7y+32y=540

216+27y=540

Subtract 216 on both side

216+27y−216=540−216

27y=324

Divide by 27 on both side

27/27 y=324/27

y=12

Now putting the value of y in x=54−3y to find the value of x

x=54−3×12

x=54−36

x=18

Now putting the value of y in z=2y to find the value of z

z=2×12

z=24

Hence, the chemist used 18 liters of 20% solution, 12 liters of 35% solution and 24 liters of 80% solution.
