Answer:

2.75 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

If it took both (meaning 2) dresses a certain amount, half of that amount is one dress. So, we need to divide 5 1/2 by 2

*1/2 of 1 = 0.5

0.5 + 5 = 5.5

5.5 / 2 = 2.75

(2.75 also equals 2 3/4)

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Time for the object to get h(max) s = 1.1875 sec

h (max) = 1272.57 feet

Down time for the object to hit the ground = 4.25 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation

h(s) = - 16*s² + 38* s + 1250 (1)

Is equivalent to the equation for vertical shot

Δh = V(i)*t - 1/2g*t² (in this case we don´t have independent term since the shot is from ground level. We can see in (1), the independent term is 1250 feet ( the height of the empire state building), the starting point of the movement.

The description of the movement is:

V(s) = V(i) - g*s ⇒ V(s) = 38 - 32*s

At h(max) V(s) = 0 38/32 = s

So the maximum height is at s = t = 1.1875 sec

The time for the object to pass for starting point is the same

t = 1.1875 sec

h(max) is

h(max) = - 16* (1.1875)² + 38 (1.1875) + 1250

h(max) = - 22,56 + 45.13 + 1250

h(max) = 1272.57 feet

Time for the object to hit the ground is

h(s) = - 1250 feet

-1250 = - 16 s² + 38*s + 1250

-16s² + 38s = 0

s ( -16s + 38 ) = 0

First solution for that second degree equation is x = 0 which we dismiss

then

( -16s + 38 ) = 0 ⇒ 16s = 38 s = 38/16

s = 2.375 sec and we have to add time between h (max) and to get to starting point ( 1. 1875 sec)

total time is = 2.375 + 1.875

Total time = 4.25 sec

Suppose that the quarterly sales levels among health care information systems companies are approximately normally distributed w

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The cutoff sales level is 10.7436 millions of dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 12, \sigma = 1.2$

15th percentile:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.15. So X when Z = -1.047.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$-1.047 = \frac{X - 12}{1.2}$

$X - 12 = -1.047*1.2$

$X = 10.7436$

The cutoff sales level is 10.7436 millions of dollars

Anna has a 25-meter-long fence that she plans to use to enclose a rectangular garden of width w. The fencing will be placed arou

Leviafan [203]

<h3>Answer: -2w^2 + 25w = 25 or -2w^2 + 25w - 25 = 0</h3>

================================================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below. The width is w. We have two opposite and parallel sides equal to this. The other two parallel congruent sides are L = 25-2w meters long. We start with the total amount of fencing, and then subtract off the two width values, so 25-w-w = 25-2w.

The area of the rectangle is

Area = length*width

Area = L*W

Area = (25-2w)*w

Area = 25w - 2w^2

Area = -2w^2 + 25w

Set this equal to the desired area (25 square meters) to get

-2w^2 + 25w = 25

and we can subtract 25 from both sides to get everything on one side

-2w^2 + 25w - 25 = 0

side note: The two approximate solutions of this equation are w = 1.0961 and w = 11.4039 (use the quadratic formula or a graphing calculator to find this)

The measure of an angle is 8 times the measure of its complement. tina writes an equation and finds the correct measure of each

pogonyaev

One of the unknown angles (let's called it n) has a complement (meaning their sum adds up to 90 degrees) and the other angle is 8 times the unknown angle (8n)

With all this information, you should have the equation:

n + 8n = 90

To solve, combine like terms to get:

9n = 90

Divide by 9 on both sides to isolate the variable n.

n = 10

Now we plug back in to find our angle measurements. The first angle, n, is 10 degrees. The second angle, 8n, is 8 * 10 which is 80; the second angle is 80 degrees.
