Triangles are similar and only differ in size meaning they are dilated

So first we have to find the scale factor of dilation (by how much the smaller triangle got bigger)

Find scale factor:

2.4a=4.8

z=2

Find x:

we multiply the original side of the small side with the scale factor of 2

2.8(2)=x

5.6=x

So, x=5.6

Ugo [173]

Answer: 0.0475

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A firm’s marketing manager believes that total sales X can be modeled using a normal distribution.

Where , Population mean : $\mu=2.5\text{ million}=2.5\times1000000=2500000$

Standard deviation : $\sigma=300000$

To find : Probability that the firm’s sales will exceed $3 million i.e. $ 3,000,000.

∵ $z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

Then , for x= 3,000,000

$z=\dfrac{3000000-2500000}{300000}=1.67$

Then , the probability that the firm’s sales will exceed $3 million is given by :-

$P(z>1.67)=1-P(z$

Hence, the probability that the firm’s sales will exceed $3 million = 0.0475

If f(x)=2x^2+2 and g(×)=x^2-1 find (f-g)(x)

Elza [17]

$f(x)=2x^2+2\qquad\qquad g(x)=x^2-1\\\\\\
\big(f-g\big)(x)=f(x)-g(x)=(2x^2+2)-(x^2-1)=2x^2+2-x^2+1=\\\\=\boxed{x^2+3}$
