In the figure below

1) Using the theorem of similar triangles (ΔBXY and ΔBAC),

\frac{BX}{BA}=\frac{BY}{BC}=\frac{XY}{AC}

Where

\begin{gathered} BX=4 \\ BA=5 \\ BY=6 \\ BC\text{ = x} \end{gathered}

Thus,

\begin{gathered} \frac{4}{5}=\frac{6}{x} \\ \text{cross}-\text{multiply} \\ 4\times x=6\times5 \\ 4x=30 \\ \text{divide both sides by the coefficient of x, which is 4} \\ \text{thus,} \\ \frac{4x}{4}=\frac{30}{4} \\ x=7.5 \end{gathered}

thus, BC = 7.5

2) BX = 9, BA = 15, BY = 15, YC = y

In the above diagram,

\begin{gathered} BC=BY+YC \\ \Rightarrow BC=15\text{ + y} \end{gathered}

Thus, from the theorem of similar triangles,

\begin{gathered} \frac{BX}{BA}=\frac{BY}{BC}=\frac{XY}{AC} \\ \frac{9}{15}=\frac{15}{15+y} \end{gathered}

solving for y, we have

\begin{gathered} \frac{9}{15}=\frac{15}{15+y} \\ \text{cross}-\text{multiply} \\ 9(15+y)=15(15) \\ \text{open brackets} \\ 135+9y=225 \\ \text{collect like terms} \\ 9y\text{ = 225}-135 \\ 9y=90 \\ \text{divide both sides by the coefficient of y, which is 9} \\ \text{thus,} \\ \frac{9y}{9}=\frac{90}{9} \\ \Rightarrow y=10 \end{gathered}

thus, YC = 10.

Find the z-score such as 88% of the area under the normal curve is to the left of the z-score
jok3333 [9.3K]
If you have a calculator with statistical functions, that's the way to go.

On my TI-83, I typed in  invNorm(0.88) and got the result z = 1.17.

88% of the area under the normal curve is to the left of z = 1.17.

Given the center of a circle as ( 1, -1 ) and a point on the circle at (4 , 2). Write the equation of the circle. *
Andru [333]

Answer:

(x − 1)² + (y + 1)² = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a circle is:

(x − h)² + (y − k)² = r²

where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius.

The center is (1, -1), so plugging that in:

(x − 1)² + (y + 1)² = r²

A point on the circle is (4, 2), so plugging that in:

(4 − 1)² + (2 + 1)² = r²

18 = r²

Therefore, the equation is:

(x − 1)² + (y + 1)² = 18
