Two figures are known as similar figures if there the corresponding angles are equal and the corresponding sider is in ratio. The length of the smaller chord AB is 4 cm.

<h3>What are Similar Figures?</h3>

Two figures are known as similar figures if there the corresponding angles are equal and the corresponding sider is in ratio. It is denoted by the symbol "~".

The diagram for the given condition can be drawn as shown below. Therefore, the measure of the smaller chord AB can be found as shown below.

The two triangles, ΔOPQ and ΔOAB are similar. Therefore, for similar triangles, we can write,

\dfrac{PQ}{AB} = \dfrac{OQ}{OB}=\dfrac{PO}{AO}

Now, we can write further,

\dfrac{13}{AB} = \dfrac{7}{4}\\

AB = 7.43 cm

Hence, the length of the smaller chord AB is 4 cm.

A set of bivariate data was used to create a least squares regression line. Which of the following is minimized by the line
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

B) The sum of the squared residuals

Step-by-step explanation:

Least Square Regression Line is drawn through a bivariate data(Data in two variables) plotted on a graph to explain the relation between the explanatory variable(x) and the response variable(y).

Not all the points will lie on the Least Square Regression Line in all cases. Some points will be above line and some points will be below the line. The vertical distance between the points and the line is known as residual. Since, some points are above the line and some are below, the sum of residuals is always zero for a Least Square Regression Line.

Since, we want to minimize the overall error(residual) so that our line is as close to the points as possible, considering the sum of residuals wont be helpful as it will always be zero. So we square the residuals first and them sum them. This always gives a positive value. The Least Square Regression Line minimizes this sum of residuals and the result is a line of Best Fit for the bivariate data.

Therefore, option B gives the correct answer.

Using the Extended Euclidean Algorithm, find integers x and y such that 26x + 9y = 1.
Xelga [282]

Answer:

The solution is: x=-1 and y=3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the solution, but first let's remember the following:

A / B = C + R where:

A=dividend, B=divisor, C=quotient, and R=remainder. This can be express as follows:

A = (C * B) + R, which is the structure we are going to use next.

Using the Euclidian Algorithm we need to find the highst common factor (HCF) between the coefficients from your equation, this means:

The original equation: 26x+9y=1 is in the form Ax+By=C, so A=26, B=9 and C=1.

We need to find the HCF of 'A' and 'B'. Using the Euclidan Algorithm (EA), so we have:

A = (C * B) + R, using our values:

26 = (2 * 9) + 8, look that the divisor (B) is 9 and the remainder (R) is 8.

Now using the (EA) we divide the divisor (B=9) by the obtained remainder (R=8). And we do the same for each obtained result until the las remainder (R) is equal to 0, like this:

A = (C * B) + R

9 = (8 * 1) + 1

using the divisor (B=8) and the remainder (R=1) we obtain:

A = (C * B) + R

8 = (1 * 8) + 0, look that the remainder is now 0, so in summary we can use the method as follows:

26 = (2 * 9) + 8

9 = (8 * 1) + 1

8 = (1 * 8) + 0; and this equations are the ones we are going to use in order to find a solution.

Next step is to use the equation before R=0, so:

9 = (8 * 1) + 1, which is:

9 - (8 * 1) = 1; but if you consider the first obtained equation: 26 = (2 * 9) + 8, we can write:

26 - (2 * 9) = 8, and we can use this expression in the previous one, so:

9 - (8 * 1) = 1, is:

9 - ((26 - (2 * 9)) * 1) = 1, simplifying:

9 - 26 + (2*9) = 1

9 - 26 + (9 + 9) = 1

-26 + (9 + 9 + 9) = 1

-26 + (3 * 9) = 1

26*(-1) + 9*(3) = 1; if you compare the last expression with the original equation, which is: 26x+9y=1, you can see the similarity, where x=-1 and y=3.

So, the solution is: x=-1 and y=3.
