The distance between the boat and the ocean's floor is 19m

<h3>How to get the distance from the ship to the ocean's floor?</h3>

We can see this as a right triangle, where the rope with the anchor is the hypotenuse. So we already know that the hypotenuse measures 30m.

We also know an angle, it measures 39°, and we want to get the opposite cathetus to said angle (the height).

Then we use the relation:

Sin(a) = (opposite cathetus)/(hypotenuse).

Replacing the values that we know, we get:

Sin(39°) = d/30m

sin(39°)*30m = d = 18.9m ≈ 19m

The distance between the boat and the ocean's floor is 19m.

A defunct website listed the "average" annual income for Florida as $35,031. What is the role of the term average in statisti

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Average is the sum of the items in a data divided by the number of items in the data. The role of average is to determine a representative value for the given set of data. What average refers to in statistics is the arithmetic mean. There are other types of mean as well. Therefore, what we are referring to in this scenario is the arithmetic mean. Therefore, another term should not be used in place of average. Therefore, the correct option is

C. The term average is often used in statistics to represent the mean.

Thomas brings over 1/2 of his marble collection. He divides these marbles equally among 3 friends. What fraction of Thomas's ent

aleksley [76]

Answer:

Each of the three friends will get one-sixth of the Thomas's enitre marble collection.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction of the total marble collection brought by Thomas = $\frac{1}{2}$

Now, Thomas divides these marbles equally among his three friends. So, each of the three friends will get one-third of the total marble collection brought by Thomas.

Fraction of total marble collection got by each friend = $\frac{1}{3} \;of\;fraction\;of\;total\;marble\;collection\;brought\;by\;Thomas$

= $\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{6}$

∴ Each of the three friends of Thomas will get one-sixth of his entire collection of marbles.

Answer:

The required equation is: $\mathbf{f(x)=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{29}{4}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find equation from the table given

x f(x)

3 -5

7 -2

We can write equation in the form of $y=mx+b$

where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

Finding Slope

We can used the slope formula to find slope: $Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

From the table we have: $x_1=3, y_1=-5, x_2=7, y_2=-2$

Putting values and finding slope

$Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\Slope=\frac{-2-(-5)}{7-3} \\Slope=\frac{-2+5}{7-3}\\Slope=\frac{3}{4}$

So, we get slope $m=\frac{3}{4}$

Now, finding y-intercept

Using the slope $m=\frac{3}{4}$ and point (3,-5) we can find y-intercept

$y=mx+b\\-5=\frac{3}{4}(3)+b\\-5=\frac{9}{4}+b\\b=-5-\frac{9}{4}\\b=\frac{-5*4-9}{4}\\b=\frac{-20-9}{4}\\b=\frac{-29}{4}$

The y-intercept is $b=\frac{-29}{4}$

So, the equation having slope $m=\frac{3}{4}$ and y-intercept $b=\frac{-29}{4}$ will be:

$y=mx+b\\y=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{29}{4}$

The required equation is: $\mathbf{f(x)=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{29}{4}}$

Which of the following is the equation of a line perpendicular to the line, , passing through the point (3,9)?

julsineya [31]

Y = -3/2x + 4...slope is -3/2
A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So that means the slope we will need is 2/3...see how I flipped the slope and changed the sign.
Now we use y = mx + b....slope(m) = 2/3....(3,9)...x = 3 and y = 9.
Time to sub...we r looking for b, the y intercept.

9 = 2/3(3) + b
9 = 2 + b
9 - 2 = b
7 = b

so the perpendicular equation is : y = 2/3x + 7...but we need it in Ax + By = C form....
y = 2/3x + 7....multiply by common denominator of 3 to get rid of fractions
3y = 2x + 21...subtract 2x from both sides
-2x + 3y = 21....<== ur answer...normally, I would have multiplied this by -1 to make x positive...but that is not an answer choice
