Answer:

4.4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the value of x.

Mathematically, a line that comes from the center of the circle and extends to a chord, divides the chord into two equal parts.

This means what we have is a right angled triangle with the radius being the hypotenuse, the half of the length of the chord as the other side of the triangle.

3.7 is half the length of the chord i.e 7.4/2

Thus;

using Pythagoras’ theorem

x^2 = 2.4^2 + 3.7^2

Pythagoras’ posited that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides of the triangle.

Thus;

x^2 =5.76 + 13.69

x^2 = 19.45

x = √(19.45)

x = 4.41 inches which is 4.4 inches to the nearest tenth

Answer:

Central angle = 31 / 4 radians

=

Length of the arc = (3 1 / 4) (radius) = 45 in

=

=> radius = 45 in * 4 / (31) = 45 * 4 / (3 * 3.14) in

=

radius = 19.1 in

=

Answer: 19.1 in

This equation can be solved graphically by plotting the equations
  f(x) = 3^x
and
  g(x) = 5x-1.

The x-coordinate of the point(s) of intersection is the solution.

_____
On my graphing calculator, I find it easier to locate x-intercepts, so I would rewrite the equation as
  3^x -(5x -1) = 0
and plot the function
  h(x) = 3^x -(5x -1)
The x-intercept(s) would be the solutions. (There are two: x≈0.577, x=2.)

22% of all resumes received by a corporation for a management position are from females. 18 resumes will be received tomorrow.
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

5.80% probability that exactly 1 resume will be from females.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each resume received by the corporation, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are from a female, or they are not. The probability of a resume received being from a female is independent from other resumes. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

22% of all resumes received by a corporation for a management position are from females.

This means that p = 0.22

18 resumes will be received tomorrow.

This means that n = 18

What is the probability that exactly 1 resume will be from females?

This is P(X = 1).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{18,1}.(0.22)^{1}.(0.78)^{17} = 0.0580

5.80% probability that exactly 1 resume will be from females.

is the following statement sometimes,always or never true?negative - positive =negative defend your answer
Elanso [62]
It is always negative, because it keeps going down on the number line. Say it is negative 8 minus 5, it would be negative 13, because it adds to the negatives, so it would go deeper into the negatives.

After triangle ACE is dilated by a factor of 6, it has an area of 180 square inches. What was its area before dilation?
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The area of triangle ACE before dilation is:  30 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when an object is dilated by a scale factor, it gets reduced, stretched, or remains the same, depending upon the value of the scale factor.

  • If the scale factor > 1, the image is enlarged
  • If the scale factor is between 0 and 1, it gets shrunk
  • If the scale factor = 1, the object and the image are congruent

The length of the image can be determined by multiplying the length of the original point by a certain scale factor.

Given that after triangle ACE is dilated by a factor of 6, it has an area of 180 square inches.

Thus, it means the dilated area is 6 times the area before dilation.

Let x be the pre-dilation area

As the dilated area is 6 times the area before dilation, so

6x = 180

divide both sides by 6

6x/6 = 180/6

x = 30 square inches.

Therefore, the area of triangle ACE before dilation is:  30 square inches
