Deffense [45]3 years ago
7 0
Cross multiply:-

3(b - 2) = (2b - 5)(b + 2)

3b - 6 = 2b^2 + 4b - 5b - 10

2b^2 - 4b - 4 = 0

b^2 - 2b - 2 = 0

b = 2.73, -0.73  Answer

Margaret is saving money for her summer vacation. She calculates that her starting amount is 0.4% of the total amount she wants
garri49 [273]

0.4% can be written as 0.004 in decimal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total amount she wants to save be 'a'

Starting amount = 0.4% of the total amount

= 0.4% of a

= (0.4/100) a

0.4% = 0.4/100

= 0.004

0.4% can be written as 0.004 in decimal.

andrew11 [14]

The required diagram is attached in the picture below :

Answer:

15.05 miles

2 :09:12

5 hours 19 minutes 18 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

28/4/18:

Time : 1 :03 : 25

Fastest mile = 02 : 25

Distance = 15.05 miles

03/5/18:

Time : 2:06: 41

Fastest mile = 02 : 53

Distance = 28.70 miles

08/5/18:

Time : 2 :09:12

Fastest mile = 02 : 45

Distance = 26.39 miles2

1.) shortest distance cycled :

From the data:

15.05 < 26.39 < 28.70

Shortest distance cycled = 15.05 miles

The longest the cycled:

1 :03 : 25 < 2:06: 41 < 2 :09:12

Longest = 2 :09:12

Total cycling time :

1 :03 : 25 + 2:06: 41 + 2 :09:12

(1 + 2 + 2)= 5 hrs

(03 + 06+ 09) = 18 minutes

(25 + 41 + 12) = 78 seconds = 1 minute 18 seconds

18 minutes + 1 minute = 19 minutes

Total = 5 hours 19 minutes 18 seconds

Your fitness tracker overestimates the number of steps you take by 5%. The trackers indicates that you took 7350 steps today. Wr
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

7,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of actual steps is x.

x + x(.05) = 7350    This is actual steps plus the extra 5% equals the number shown on the tracker.

Pull out x

x (1+.05) = 7350

x (1.05) = 7350     Divide by 1.05

(x (1.05))/1.05 = 7350/1.05

x = 7,000

A botanist wishes to estimate the typical number of seeds for a certain fruit. She samples 41 specimens and counts the number of
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

(53.3; 56.1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Sample size, n = 41

Mean, xbar = 54.7

Standard deviation, s = 5.3

Confidence level, Zcritical at 90% = 1.645

Confidence interval :

Xbar ± Margin of error

Margin of Error = Zcritical * s/sqrt(n)

Margin of Error = 1.645 * 5.3/sqrt(41)

Margin of Error = 1.362

Lower boundary = 54.7 - 1.362 = 53.338

Upper boundary = 54.7 + 1.362 = 56.062

(53.3 ; 56.1)

Which is a secant of circle A?
sergey [27]

Answer: line CD (fourth choice)

====================================================

Let's go through the choices one by one

1) Segment AB is a radius, which is not a secant line. We can rule this out.

2) line DE is a tangent line which only touches the circle at exactly one spot. We need something that cuts the circle in 2 spots for it to be a secant line. This can also be crossed off the list.

3) segment HG is a chord, which is fairly close to a secant line, but it must extend infinitely in both directions. In other words, it needs to be a line instead of a line segment. This is crossed off the list.

4) line CD is a secant line. It is a geometric line in that it goes on forever in both directions (it's not a segment, and not a ray either). Also, this line crosses the circle at 2 points, which contrasts it from a tangent line. This is the answer we want.
