Hey ! there

Answer:

  • Smallest side = <u>2</u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>m</u>

  • Middle side = <u>2</u><u>8</u><u> </u><u>m</u>

  • Longest side = <u>35</u><u> </u><u>m</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we are given that <u>perimeter</u> <u>of a triangle is </u><u>8</u><u>4</u><u> </u>m , <u>longest</u><u> </u><u>side </u><u>of </u><u>triangle </u><u>is </u><u>7</u><u> </u><u>meters</u><u> </u><u>less </u><u>than </u><u>twice </u><u>the </u><u>length </u><u>of </u><u>shortest </u><u>side </u><u>that </u><u>is </u><u>x </u><u>and </u><u>middle </u><u>side </u><u>is </u><u>7</u><u> </u><u>meters</u><u> </u><u>longer </u><u>than</u><u> </u><u>the </u><u>shorte</u><u>st </u><u>side </u><u>.</u>

And we're asked to find the <u>length</u><u> of</u><u> </u><u>each </u><u>side </u><u>o</u><u>f </u><u>triangle</u><u>. </u>

<u>So </u><u>,</u>

  • Shortest side = <u>x m </u>

  • Middle side = <u>( x + 7 ) </u>m ( Because in question it is given that middle side is 7 metres longer than the shorter side )

  • Longest side =<u> ( 2x -7 ) m</u> ( Because in question it is given that longest side is 7 m less than twice the length of shortest side )

<u>We </u><u>know</u><u> that</u><u> </u><u>,</u>

<u>\underline{\boxed{\frak{Perimeter_{(Triangle)} = Sum \:of\: three\: sides}}}</u>

<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u> </u><u>-</u>

\longmapsto \qquad x +( x + 7) + (2x - 7) = 84

<u>Step </u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>:</u> Removing parenthesis and cancelling 7 with -7 :

\longmapsto \qquad x + x + \cancel{7} +  2x - \cancel{ 7 }= 84

<u>Step </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>:</u> Adding like terms on left side :

\longmapsto \qquad 4x = 84

<u>Step </u><u>3 </u><u>:</u> Dividing with 4 on both sides :

\longmapsto \qquad \dfrac{ \cancel{4}x}{ \cancel{4}}  =   \cancel{\dfrac{ 84}{4} }

On calculating further, We get :

\longmapsto \qquad \red{\underline{\boxed{\frak{ x = 21 \: m}}}}\quad \bigstar

<u>According</u><u> to</u><u> question</u><u> </u><u>,</u>

  • x = smallest side

  • <u>Henceforth</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>smallest</u><u> </u><u>side </u><u>of </u><u>triangle </u><u>is </u><u>2</u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>meters </u><u>.</u>

<u>▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬</u>

  • x + 7 = middle side
  • 21 + 7 = 28

  • <u>Henceforth</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>middle</u><u> side</u><u> of</u><u> triangle</u><u> is</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>meters </u><u>.</u>

<u>▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬</u>

  • 2x - 7 = longest side
  • 2(21) - 7
  • 42 - 7
  • 35

  • <u>Henceforth</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>longest </u><u>side </u><u>of </u><u>triangle</u><u> </u><u>is </u><u>35</u><u> </u><u>met</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>s </u><u>.</u>

<u>Verifying</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u> </u><u>-</u>

Now we are checking our answer by adding all the sides and equating it with given perimeter that is 84 metres .

  • 21 + 28 + 35 = 84

  • 49 + 35 = 84

  • 84 = 84

  • L.H.S = R.H.S

  • Hence , Verified .

<u>Therefore</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>our </u><u>answer</u><u> is</u><u> correct</u><u>. </u>

The cube root of 5 times the square root of 5 over the cube root of 5 to the 5th power
Fiesta28 [93]
(cube root of 5)  * sqrt(5)
--------------------------------- = ?
(cube root of 5^5)

This becomes easier if we switch to fractional exponents:


  5^(1/3) * 5^(1/2)         5^(1/3 + 1/2)       5^(5/6)
------------------------ = --------------------- = ------------- = 5^[5/6 - 5/3]
[ 5^5 ]^(1/3)                  5^(5/3)                 5^(5/3) 

Note that 5/6 - 5/3 = 5/6 - 10/6 = -5/6.

                                                            1
Thus,  5^[5/6 - 5/3] = 5^(-5/6)  =  --------------
                                                        5^(5/6)

That's the correct answer.  But if you want to remove the fractional exponent from the denominator, do this:

    1            5^(1/6)         5^(1/6)
---------- * ------------- = --------------    (ANSWER)
5^(5/6)       5^(1/6)              5

Two opposing opinions were shown to a random sample of 1,500 buyers of a particular political news app in the United States. The
kifflom [539]

Answer:

A) 98% Confidence interval for the proportion of all US buyers of this particular app who would have chosen Opinion B

= (0.51, 0.57)

This means that the true proportion of all thay would chose opinion B can take on values between the range of (0.51, 0.57)

B) For the confidence interval obtained to be valid, the conditions stated must be satisfied and for the sampling distribution to be approximately normal, the number of buyers that chose Opinion B and the number of buyers that did not choose Opinion B must both be greater than 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval for the population proportion is basically an interval of range of values where the true population proportion can be found with a certain level of confidence.

Mathematically,

Confidence Interval = (Sample proportion) ± (Margin of error)

Sample proportion of all US buyers of this particular app who would have chosen Opinion B = 0.54

Margin of Error is the width of the confidence interval about the mean.

It is given mathematically as,

Margin of Error = (Critical value) × (standard Error)

Critical value at 98% confidence interval for sample size of 1500 is obtained from the z-tables.

Critical value = 2.33

Standard error = σₓ = √[p(1-p)/n]

p = sample proportion = 0.54

n = sample size = 1500

σₓ = √(0.54×0.46/1500) = 0.0128685664 = 0.01287

98% Confidence Interval = (Sample proportion) ± [(Critical value) × (standard Error)]

CI = 0.54 ± (2.33 × 0.01287)

CI = 0.54 ± 0.02998)

98% CI = (0.51, 0.57)

98% Confidence interval = (0.51, 0.57)

B) The number of buyers that chose Opinion B and the number of buyers that did not choose Opinion B are both greater than 10. Why must this inference condition be met?

For this confidence interval to be obtained using sample data, a couple of conditions are necessary to be satisfied. They include;

- The sample data must have been obtained using a random sampling technique.

- The sampling distribution must be normal or approximately normal.

- The variables of the sample data must be independent of each other.

On the second point, the condition for a binomial distribution to approximate a normal distribution is that

np ≥ 10

and n(1-p) ≥ 10

The quantity np is the actual sample mean which is the actual number of buyers that chose Opinion B while n(1-p) is the number of buyers that did not chose Opinion B.

For the confidence interval obtained to be valid, the conditions stated must be satisfied and for the sampling distribution to be approximately normal, the number of buyers that chose Opinion B and the number of buyers that did not choose Opinion B must both be greater than 10.

Hope this Helps!!!

A chemical refinery needs a vat. They want the vat to be a rectangular prism (with square bases) that has a maximum volume of 1,
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

For least material to be used lengths of square base and sides = 10 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the lengths of the square base and the sides = x feet, x feet and y feet

Area of the square base = x² feet

Volume of the rectangular prism = Area of the square base × Height

                                                      = x²y cubic feet

1000 = x²y

y = \frac{1000}{x^2} -------(1)

Material used in the prism = Surface area of the rectangular prism

                                            = 2(lb + bh + hl)

Here, h =  height of the prism

l = length of the base

w = Width of the base

Material to be used (S) = 2(xy + x² + xy) - Area of lid

                                  S = 2(x² + 2xy) - x²

                                  S = x² + 2xy

Now by substituting the value of y from equation (1),

S = x² + 2x(\frac{1000}{x^{2} })

  = x² + \frac{2000}{x}

For least amount of material used,

We will find the derivative of the given function and equate it to zero.

S' = 2x - \frac{2000}{x^{2} }

2x - \frac{2000}{x^{2} } = 0

2x³ = 2000

x³ = 1000

x = 10 feet

From equation (1),

y = \frac{1000}{(10)^2}

y = 10 feet

Therefore, for least amount of the material used lengths of square base and sides will be 10 feet.
