Triangle A C B is cut by line segment E D. Line segment E D goes from side B C to side A C. The length of B A is 4 x minus 6 and

the length of E D is x + 2. The length of B E is x. Sides B E and E C are congruent. Sides A D and D C are congruent.
What is the length of BC?

From the markings on the diagram, we can tell E is the midpoint of BC and

is the midpoint of AC

We can apply the

theorem: ED = One-halfBA.

Substituting in the expressions for the lengths and solving for x, we get x =

From the markings on the diagram, we can tell E is the midpoint of BC and <u>D</u> is the midpoint of AC. We can apply the <u>triangle midsegment theorem</u>: ED = ½BA. Substituting in the expressions for the lengths and solving for x, we get x = <u>5</u>. Now, since BE = x, then BC = <u>10</u>.

<h3>What is triangle midpoint theorem?</h3>

Triangle midpoint theorem states that the line segment which joins the midpoints of two (2) sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side, and it's congruent to one-half of the third side.

By applying the triangle midpoint theorem, we can find the value of x:

ED = ½BA

x + 2 = ½(4x - 6)

2x + 4 = 4x - 6

4x - 2x = 6 + 4

2x = 10

x = 10/2

x = 5.

BC = x + x

BC = 5 + 5

BC = 10.

One number is 6 times a first number. A third number is 100 more than the first number. If the sum of the three numbers is 812,
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

  • first number = 89
  • second number = 534
  • third number  = 189

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x

Given second number is 6 times a first number.

If first number is x then second number is 6*x = 6x

Given third number is 100 more than  the first number

If first number is x then third number is x+100 = x+100

Sum of these three numbers in terms of x

is

sum = x+ 6x+x+100 = 8x+100 __________1

Given, that sum of these numbers is 812.

equating 812 with equation 1 we have,

8x+100  = 812

=> 8x = 812- 100

=> 8x = 712

=> x = 712/8 =  89.

Therefore,

first number = x = 89

second number = 6x = 89*6= 534

third number = x+100 = 89+100 = 189

Answer:

$857 billion

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 2006​, the amount of money spent at restaurants in a certain country has increased at a rate of 5​% each year. In 2006​, about ​$580 billion was spent at restaurants.

2014-2006=8 so 2014 is 8 years from 2006

If the trend​ continues, the amount of money spent at restaurant in 2014 will be (1.05)^8 times that of the amount in 2006:

$580*(1.05)^8 = $856.9

About ​<u>$857</u> billion will be spent at restaurants in 2014 if the trend continues.

Ronin kicks a ball over the gate of the first floor balcony. The function h(t)=-36t^2+288t+9 can be used to model the height of
ale4655 [162]

Answer: 4 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The function h(t)=-36t^2+288t+9 can be used to model the height of the ball where t is the time in seconds after the ball kicked and h(t) is the height in feet.

Differentiate the given function with respect to t , we get

h'(t)=-36(2)t+288=-72t+288

Put h'(t)=0

\Rightarrow\ -72t+288=0\Rightarrow\ t=\dfrac{288}{72}\\\\\Rightarrow\ t=4

Also, h''(t)=-72

By second derivative test, h(t) is maximum at t=4.

Hence, the time in Devon which the ball reaches it maximum height = 4 seconds

Last year, a comprehensive report stated that 28% of businesses in the northeast of Ohio were considered highly profitable. This
Alik [6]

Answer:

z=\frac{0.38 -0.28}{\sqrt{\frac{0.28(1-0.28)}{50}}}=1.575  

p_v =2*P(z>1.575)=0.115  

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of businesses were highly profitable is not significantly different from 0.28 or 28%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=50 represent the random sample taken

X=19 represent the businesses were highly profitable

\hat p=\frac{19}{50}=0.38 estimated proportion of businesses were highly profitable

p_o=0.28 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion of businesses were highly profitable is different from 0.28 or no, the system of hypothesis is.:  

Null hypothesis:p=0.28  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.28  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info required we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.38 -0.28}{\sqrt{\frac{0.28(1-0.28)}{50}}}=1.575  

Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided \alpha=0.01. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(z>1.575)=0.115  

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of businesses were highly profitable is not significantly different from 0.28 or 28%.

Sarafina and Katie have between $105 and $420 dollars to spend on jewelry for Christmas presents for their friends. If they buy
algol13

Answer:

66

Step-by-step explanation:

105+420=525   (Total Money)

7x3.25=22.75   (Cost of all bracelets)

8x11.74=93.92   (Cost of all necklaces)

93.92+22.75=116.67   (Cost of all Christmas presents)

525-116.67=408.33   (Total money - Cost of all Christmas presents)

408.33/6.15=66.39...   (Amount of necklaces)

since in real life you can only buy a whole number of things, you would round down 66.39 to 66. I hope this helped!
