Applying the Pythagorean theorem, the height of the building is: 24.9 m.

<h3>How to Apply the Pythagorean Theorem?</h3>

Where c is the length of the hypothenuse of a right triangle, and a and b are the legs of the right triangle, the Pythagorean theorem states that:

c = √(a² + b²).

The diagram of the building and its shadow form a right triangle as shown in the image below, where:

a = height of the building

b = 26

c = 36

Applying the Pythagorean theorem, we will have:

a = √(36² - 26²)

a = √(36² - 26²)

a = 24.9 m

The matrix represents the system:

-3x+5y=15

2x+3y=-10, which is choice c. 


We can see it more clearly from the way we multiply matrices, as follows:

\[&#10;  \left[ {\begin{array}{cc}&#10;   -3 & 5 \\&#10;    \ 2  & 3 \\&#10;  \end{array} } \right]&#10;\] \cdot  \[&#10;  \left[ {\begin{array}{c}&#10;   x \\&#10;    y \\&#10;  \end{array} } \right]&#10;\]= \left[ {\begin{array}{c}&#10;   -3\cdot x+5\cdot y \\&#10;    2\cdot x+3\cdot y \\&#10;  \end{array} } \right]&#10;\]= \[ \left[ {\begin{array}{c} 15 \\ -10 \\ \end{array} } \right] \]

Which expression is not equivalent to Negative 3 x minus one-half 4 y? 2 y minus 5 x minus one-half 2 y 2 x Negative 2 x minus o
Alona [7]

Answer:

The wrt=itten expressions are too difficult to interpret properly.  I did my best but I don't see any of the answers as equivalent to <u>-3x - 2y, so please check my interpretations of the answer options.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

"Negative 3 x minus one-half 4 y"

-3x- (1/2)4y

<u>or -3x - 2y</u>

<u>=====</u>

The answer options are too garbled for me to make sense of them.  Are they:

1.  2 y minus 5 x minus one-half 2 y  :  2y -5x - (1/2)2y; <u>y -5x</u>  ?

2.  2 x Negative 2 x minus one-half 6 y :  2(-2x)- (1/2)6y; <u>-4x - 3y</u>  ?

3.  3 x Negative 3 x minus three-fourths 4 y :  3x(-3x) - (3/4)4y;  <u>-9x -3y</u>  ?

4.   one-fourth Negative 3 y minus three-fourths 7 y one-fourth minus 3 x:

     (1/4)(-3y) - (3/4)7y - (1/4)(-3x);  -(3/4)y -(21/4)y + (3/4)x; -(24/4)y +         (3/4)x;  ?

     

I don't see any of the answers as equivalent to <u>-3x - 2y, so please check my interpretations of the answer options.</u>

What is the value of the correlation coefficient r of the data set?
enyata [817]

The correct option will be:  C) 0.84

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Formula for Correlation coefficient :

r= \frac{n(\Sigma xy)-(\Sigma x)(\Sigma y)}{\sqrt{[n\Sigma x^2-(\Sigma x)^2][n\Sigma y^2-(\Sigma y)^2]}}

First, for each point(x, y), we need to calculate x², y² and xy .

Then, we will find sum all x, y, x², y² and xy, which gives us Σx, Σy, Σx², ∑y² and Σxy

<em>(Please refer to the attached image for the table )</em>

Here we got, ∑x = 44 , ∑y = 183 , ∑x² = 362 , ∑y² = 6575 and ∑xy = 1480

'n' is the total number of data set, which is 7 here.

So, plugging those values into the above formula..........

r= \frac{n(\Sigma xy)-(\Sigma x)(\Sigma y)}{\sqrt{[n\Sigma x^2-(\Sigma x)^2][n\Sigma y^2-(\Sigma y)^2]}}\\ \\ r=\frac{7(1480)-(44)(183)}{\sqrt{[7(362)-(44)^2][7(6575)-(183)^2]}}\\ \\ r=\frac{10360-8052}{\sqrt{(598)(12536)}}\\ \\ r=\frac{2308}{\sqrt{7496528}}\\ \\ r=0.84

So, the value of the correlation coefficient is 0.84
