Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

the tangent- tangent angle UVW is half the difference of the intercepted arcs, that is

∠ UVW = $\frac{1}{2}$ (UW - WU ) , then

5x + 17 = $\frac{1}{2}$ (37x + 5 - (23x - 5) ) ← multiply both sides by 2

10x + 34 = 37x + 5 - 23x + 5

10x + 34 = 14x + 10 ( subtract 14x from both sides )

- 4x + 34 = 10 ( subtract 34 from both sides )

- 4x = - 24 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

x = 6

How would you do (k-3)/4 = 10 ?

givi [52]

Are you asking how to solve for k? In that case, multiply both sides by 4. Then add 3 to both sides:

(k-3) = 40
k = 43

How to write infinite decimals as fractions series?

Fantom [35]

Well, you can estimate the decimal. For example if you have 1.35678 you can round the three to a four because there is a 5 beside it so the estimated decimal would be 1.4, 1.4 as a fraction would be 1 4/10 which can be simplified down to 1 2/5.

A research scientist wants to know how many times per hour a certain strand of bacteria reproduces. He wants to construct the 95

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

The minimum sample size required for the estimate is 345.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.025 = 0.975$ , so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The standard deviation is known to be 1.8.

This means that $\sigma = 1.8$

What is the minimum sample size required for the estimate?

This is n for which M = 0.19. So

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.19 = 1.96\frac{1.8}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.19\sqrt{n} = 1.96*1.8$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*1.8}{0.19}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*1.8}{0.19})^2$

$n = 344.8$

Rounding up to the next integer:

The minimum sample size required for the estimate is 345.

The Cosmic Pool company is building a pool in Mary’s back yard. The pool is to be 8ft longer than it is wide and cover 240 squar

Aneli [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the Cosmic Pool company's pool's length is 8ft longer than the width, you can immediately rule out choices A and B, since their <em>widths</em> are greater than their <em>lengths</em> by 8, and not vice versa. This leaves choices C and D. The perimeter of a quadrilateral's formula is $2(l+w)$ , which means the length plus the width and multiplied by 2. Using this formula, you can infer that the perimeter is $2(20+12)$ = $2*32$ = 64ft, so choice C is the correct answer.
