I need the answer to a and b

Mathematics
1 answer:
erica [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

a. x = 7

b. x = 36/5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Points to remember</u>

The ratio of of corresponding sides of similar triangles are equal.

<u>a). To find the value of x</u>

From the figure 1 we get two similar triangles, ΔABC and ADE

We can write,

AB/AD = AC/AE

3/6 = x/(x + 7)

3(x + 7) = 6 * x

3x + 21 = 6x

6x - 3x = 21

3x = 21

x = 21/3 = 7

<u>b). To find the value of x</u>

From the figure b we get

ΔABC ~  ΔEDF

AB/DE = BC/DF

4/5 = x/9

x = (4 * 9)/5 = 36/5

The graph shows a probability distribution. What is P(X&lt;5)
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

P(x < 5) = 0.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Note:  The area under a probability "curve" must be = to 1.

Finding the sub-area representing x < 5 immediately yields the desired probability.

Draw a dashed, vertical line through x = 5.  The resulting area, on the left, is a trapezoid.  The area of a trapezoid is equal to:

 (average length)·(width, which here is:

  2 + 5

----------- · 0.02  =  (7/2)(0.2) =  0.70

      2

Thus, P(x < 5) = 0.70

A single gram of a certain metallic substance has 0.52 g of copper and 0.25 g of zinc the remaining portion of the substance is
andrezito [222]
Ben's estimate gives 7 g of nickel; the actual amount is 8.03 g.

In 1 g of the substance, there is 0.52 g of copper and 0.25 g of zinc; this gives 
0.52+0.25 = 0.77 g of the substance.

The remaining part of the substance is nickel:
1-0.77 = 0.23 g of nickel.

Using Ben's estimate, 0.2 g of nickel per gram of substance, we have
0.2(35) = 7 g of nickel in 35 g of the substance.

The actual amount is 0.23(35) = 8.03 g of nickel in 35 g of the substance.
