Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a). In ΔABC and ΔEDC,

Since, AB and DE are parallel and AE is a transversal,

Therefore, ∠CAB ≅ ∠CED [Alternate interior angles]

m∠D = m∠B = 90°

ΔABC ~ ΔEDC [By AA property of similarity of two triangles]

b). Therefore, by the property of similar triangles,

"Corresponding sides of two similar triangles are proportional"

[tex]\frac{DC}{BC}= \frac{DE}{AB}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{60}{200}=\frac{40}{AB}[/tex]

AB = [tex]\frac{40\times 200}{60}[/tex]

     = 133.33

     ≈ 133.3 ft

Given a line segment that contains the points A,B, & C in order,if AB = 2x + 3, BC = 4x - 11, and AC = 28, find the length of segment AB.

Answers

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

AB+BC=AC

2X+3+(4X-11)

6X-8=28

6x= 36

x=6

then ab= 2(6)+3

=15

bc= 4(6)-11

If the blue radius below is perpendicular to the chord AC which is. 14 units long, what is the length of the segment AB?

Answers

Answer:

C. 7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The length of the chord of the circle, [tex]\overline{AC}[/tex] = 14 units

The orientation of the radius and the chord = The radius is perpendicular to the chord

We have in ΔAOC, [tex]\overline{AO}[/tex] = [tex]\overline{OC}[/tex] = The radius of the circle

[tex]\overline{OB}[/tex] ≅ [tex]\overline{OB}[/tex]  by reflexive property

The angle at point B = 90° by angle formed by the radius which is perpendiclar to the chord [tex]\overline{AC}[/tex]

ΔAOB and ΔCOB are right triangles (triangles having one 90° angle)

[tex]\overline{AO}[/tex] and [tex]\overline{OC}[/tex] are hypotenuse sides of ΔAOB and ΔCOB respectively and [tex]\overline{OB}[/tex] is a leg to ΔAOB and ΔCOB

Therefore;

ΔAOB ≅ ΔCOB, by Hypotenuse Leg rule of congruency

Therefore;

[tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] ≅ [tex]\overline{BC}[/tex] by Congruent Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent, CPCTC

[tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] = [tex]\overline{BC}[/tex] by definition of congruency

[tex]\overline{AC}[/tex] = [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] + [tex]\overline{BC}[/tex] by segment addition postulate

∴ [tex]\overline{AC}[/tex] = [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] + [tex]\overline{BC}[/tex] =  [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] + [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] = 2 ×  [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex]

∴  [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] = [tex]\overline{AC}[/tex]/2

[tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] = 14/2 = 7

[tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] = 7 units.

You can model the ellipse with the equation

(x/6)² + (y/5)² = 1

If you're comfortable with calculus, read on.

Let x = 6 cos(t ) and y = 5 sin(t ), with 0 ≤ t ≤ π/2. Then the curve C parameterized by (x(t), y(t)) traces out one quarter of the ellipse. The arc length of this curve is given by the integral,

[tex]\displaystyle\int_C\mathrm ds = \int_0^{\pi/2}\sqrt{x'(t)^2+y'(t)^2}\,\mathrm dt \\\\ = \int_0^{\pi/2}\sqrt{36\sin^2(t)+25\cos^2(t)}\,\mathrm dt \\\\ = \int_0^{\pi/2}\sqrt{25+11\sin^2(t)}\,\mathrm dt \\\\ = 5\int_0^{\pi/2}\sqrt{1+\frac{11}{25}\sin^2(t)}\,\mathrm dt[/tex]

Unfortunately, you cannot find the exact value of this integral. (Well, you can, but it involves introducing a special kind of function; I'll link it in a comment.)

But you can approximate it, and the integral above comes out to about 8.657.

I'm not sure if there's a simpler, purely geometric way to estimate the arc length. But since the semiaxes (5 ft and 6 ft) are fairly close, you could try a circle with a radius somewhere in between. The arc length would range between 7.854 ft and 9.425 ft. If the material isn't too expensive, you can always overshoot and trim off the excess or repurpose it.

Answers

Answer:

Mike had 72 stamps

Ken had 120 stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]M \to Mike[/tex]

[tex]K \to Ken[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{5} * K = \frac{1}{3} * M[/tex]

[tex]K + 24 = 3 * ( M - 24)[/tex]

Required

Find K and M

Make K the subject in: [tex]K + 24 = 3 * ( M - 24)[/tex]

[tex]K = 3 * ( M - 24) - 24[/tex]

Substitute [tex]K = 3 * ( M - 24) - 24[/tex] in [tex]\frac{1}{5} * K = \frac{1}{3} * M[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{5} * [3 * ( M - 24) - 24] = \frac{1}{3} * M[/tex]

Open brackets

[tex]\frac{1}{5} * [3M - 72 - 24] = \frac{1}{3} * M[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{5} * [3M -96] = \frac{1}{3} * M[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 15

[tex]3* [3M -96] = 5 * M[/tex]

[tex]9M -288 = 5M[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]9M -5M= 288[/tex]

[tex]4M= 288[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4

[tex]M= 72[/tex]

Substitute [tex]M= 72[/tex] in [tex]K = 3 * ( M - 24) - 24[/tex]

[tex]K = 3 * (72 - 24) - 24[/tex]

[tex]K = 3 * 48 - 24[/tex]

[tex]K = 120[/tex]

The curve C has parametric equations x = t², y = (2 - t)^1/2, for 0 ≤ t ≤2.
Find d2y/dx2 in terms of t.
Can I have the full workings also please?

Answers

Answer:

y''=(4-3t)/[16 t^3 (2-t)^(3/2)]

Step-by-step explanation:

x = t², y = (2 - t)^1/2

dy/dx=dy/dt×dt/dx by chain rule

dy/dt=1/2 (2-t)^(1/2-1) × (-1)

dy/dt=-1/2 (2-t)^(-1/2)

dy/dt=-1/[2(2-t)^(1/2) ]

dx/dt=2t

dy/dx=-1/[2(2-t)^(1/2) ] × 1/[2t]

dy/dx=-1/[4t (2-t)^(1/2) ]

We need to find the second derivative now.

That is we calculate d/dt(dy/dx in terms of t) then divide by derivative of x in terms of t).

dy/dx=-1/[4t (2-t)^(1/2) ]

Let's find derivative of this with respect to t.

d/dt(dy/dx)=

[0[4t (2-t)^(1/2)]-(-1)(4(2-t)^(1/2)+-4t(1/2)(2-t)^(-1/2))]/ [4t (2-t)^(1/2) ]^2

Let's simplify

d/dt(dy/dx)=

[(4(2-t)^(1/2)+-4t(1/2)(2-t)^(-1/2))]/ [4t (2-t)^(1/2) ]^2

Continuing to simplify

Apply the power in the denominator

d/dt(dy/dx)=

[(4(2-t)^(1/2)+-4t(1/2)(2-t)^(-1/2))]/ [16t^2 (2-t) ]

Multiply by (2-t)^(1/2)/(2-t)^(1/2):

d/dt(dy/dx)=

[(4(2-t)+-4t(1/2)]/ [16t^2 (2-t)^(3/2)]

Distribute/multiply:

d/dt(dy/dx)=

[(8-4t+-2t)]/ [16t^2 (2-t)^(3/2)]

Combine like terms:

d/dt(dy/dx)=

[(8-6t)]/ [16t^2 (2-t)^(3/2)]

Reducing fraction by dividing top and bottom by 2:

d/dt(dy/dx)=

[(4-3t)]/ [8t^2 (2-t)^(3/2)]

Now finally the d^2 y/dx^2 in terms of t is

d/dt(dy/dx) ÷ dx/dt=

[(4-3t)]/ [8t^2 (2-t)^(3/2)] ÷ 2t

d/dt(dy/dx) ÷ dx/dt=

[(4-3t)]/ [8t^2 (2-t)^(3/2)] × 1/( 2t)

d/dt(dy/dx) ÷ dx/dt=

[(4-3t)]/ [16t^3 (2-t)^(3/2)]

Or!!!!!!

x = t², y = (2 - t)^1/2

Since t>0, then t=sqrt(x) or x^(1/2).

Make this substitution into the equation explicitly solved for y:

y = (2 - x^1/2)^1/2

Differentiate:

y' =(1/2) (2 - x^1/2)^(-1/2) × -1/2x^(-1/2)

y'=-1/4(2 - x^1/2)^(-1/2)x^(-1/2)

y'=-1/4(2x-x^3/2)^(-1/2)

Differentiate:

y''=1/8(2x-x^3/2)^(-3/2)×(2-3/2x^1/2)

y''=(2-3/2x^1/2)/[8 (2x-x^3/2)^(3/2)]

Replace x with t^2

y''=(2-3/2t)/[8 (2t^2-t^3)^(3/2)]

Multiply top and bottom by 2

y''=(4-3t)/[16 (2t^2-t^3)^(3/2)]

Factor out t^2 inside the 3/2 power factor:

y''=(4-3t)/[16 (t^2)^(3/2) (2-t)^(3/2)]

y''=(4-3t)/[16 t^3 (2-t)^(3/2)]

Pascal's triangle provides a systematic way to determine the coefficients of binomial expansions, making it a valuable tool in algebra and combinatorics.

Binomial expansions are directly related to Pascal's triangle.

Pascal's triangle is a triangular arrangement of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two numbers directly above it. The first and last numbers in each row of Pascal's triangle are always 1.

The coefficients of the terms in a binomial expansion correspond to the numbers in Pascal's triangle. Each row of Pascal's triangle represents the coefficients of the corresponding power of the binomial.

For example, in the expansion of (a + b)², the coefficients are 1, 2, and 1. These coefficients can be found in the third row of Pascal's triangle: 1, 2, 1. Similarly, in the expansion of (a + b)³, the coefficients are 1, 3, 3, and 1, which can be found in the fourth row of Pascal's triangle: 1, 3, 3, 1.

In summary, Pascal's triangle provides a systematic way to determine the coefficients of binomial expansions, making it a valuable tool in algebra and combinatorics.

Answers

Answer:

The width of the confidence interval based on the 784 women would be narrower than the  confidence interval based on the 327 women.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

From this, we have that the margin of error, and also the width, is inversely proportional to the sample size, that is, a larger sample size leads to a smaller margin of error and a narrower interval.

How would the width of the new confidence interval compare to the width of the  confidence interval based on the 327 women in the armed forces?

New interval: 784

Old interval: 327

Sample size increased, so the new interval will be narrower, and the correct answer is:

The width of the confidence interval based on the 784 women would be narrower than the  confidence interval based on the 327 women.
