A trapezoid has a perimeter of 14 feet. What will the perimeter be if each side length is increased by a factor 7? 21 feet 98 fe

natka813 [3]

Answer:

Correct choice is B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a, b, c and d be the trapezoid's sides lengths.

The perimeter of the trapezoid is the sum of all sides lengths, thus,

$a+b+c+d=14\ ft.$

If each side length is increased by a factor 7, then new sides have lengths 7a, 7b, 7c and 7d. The perimeter of new trapezoid is

$7a+7b+7c+7d.$

Use the distributive property for this expression:

$7a+7b+7c+7d=7(a+b+c+d).$

Since $a+b+c+d=14\ ft,$ then

$7a+7b+7c+7d=7(a+b+c+d)=7\cdot 14=98\ ft.$

3x^2+kx=-3 What is the value of K will result in exactly one solution to the equation?

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

For k = 6 or k = -6, the equation will have exactly one solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$ .

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = (x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac$

If $\bigtriangleup = 0$ , the equation has only one solution.

In this problem, we have that:

$3x^{2} + kx + 3 = 0$

$a = 3, b = k, c = 3$

$\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac$

$\bigtriangleup = k^{2} - 4*3*3$

$\bigtriangleup = k^{2} - 36$

We will only have one solution if $\bigtriangleup = 0$ . So

$\bigtriangleup = 0$

$k^{2} - 36 = 0$

$k^{2} = 36$

$k = \pm \sqrt{36}$

$k = \pm 6$

For k = 6 or k = -6, the equation will have exactly one solution.

Suppose that, based on a sample, the 99.7% confidence interval for the mean of a population is (59,95). What is the mean of the

Georgia [21]

Answer:

mean = 77

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a confidence interval of (59, 95) with a confidence of 99.7 percent

99.7 is 6 standard deviations from the mean, 3 on each side of the mean

mean - 3 sigma = 59

mean + 3 sigma = 95

We can use elimination to eliminate sigma. Add these equations together

mean - 3 sigma = 59

mean + 3 sigma = 95

---------------------------------

2 * mean = 154

Divide each side by 2

2 * mean/2 = 154/2

mean = 77
