Answer:

n=4

JK=12

KL=13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: JK=3n and KL=5n-7.

It is given that Points J, K, and L are collinear. It means points J, K and L lie on a straight line.

Using segment addition property we get

$JL=JK+KL$

$JL=3n+5n-7$

$JL=8n-7$

(a)

It is given that JL=25.

$25=8n-7$

Add 7 on both sides.

$32=8n$

Divide both sides by 8.

$\frac{32}{8}=n$

$4=n$

Therefore, the value of n is 4.

(b)

$JK=3n$

$JK=3(4)$

$JK=12$

The value of JK is 12 units.

$KL=5n-7$

$KL=5(4)-7$

$KL=20-7$

$KL=13$

Therefore the value of KL is 13 units.

Answer:

n=4

JK=12

KL=13

Step-by-step explanation:

Since JL=25 and JL=3n+5n-7

Then

3n+5n-7=25 simplifying we get

8n-7=25 subtracting 7 from both sides

8n=32 dividing both sides by 8

n=4

JK?

JK=3n bt n=4

JK=3*4

JK=12

KL?

KL=5n-7

KL=5*4-7

KL=13

Solve the following equation: 96= -6( -4-3y) a. y=2 b.y=4 c.y= -2 d. y=6

tankabanditka [31]

96 = -6 * (-4 - 3y) <== It's easiest to solve when the y is on the right
 ↓
-6 * (-4 - 3y) = 96 <== Multiply the -6 by everything inside the
 parentheses
 ↓
 24 + 18y = 96 <== Subtract the 24 from both sides
↓
18y = 72 <== Divide both sides by 18
↓
y = 4

The correct answer is choice B. y = 4.
Hope that helped =)

If cos x = −6/7, and 90° < x < 180°, what is cos⁡(2x)?

Naddik [55]

Recall the double angle identity:

$\cos2x=\cos^2x-\sin^2x=2\cos^2x-1$

Then

$\cos2x=2\left(-\dfrac67\right)^2-1=\dfrac{23}{49}$

Determine if y = 2x + 1 is a function

horsena [70]

Yes! There is one output and one input, which is the definition of a function. You can also graph the function and test for the vertical line test. Graph a few points, connects the dots. Draw a vertical line through the graph and if the vertical line passes through the graph more than once, it is not a graph.

The lengths of nails produced in a factory are normally distributed with a mean of 4.634.63 centimeters and a standard deviation

dmitriy555 [2]

The prbability that a normally distributed dataset with mean, μ, and standard deviation, σ, is between two values a and b is given by:

$P(a\ \textless \ X\ \textless \ b)=P(X\ \textless \ b)-P(X\ \textless \ a) \\ \\ =P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{b-\mu}{\sigma} \right)-P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{a-\mu}{\sigma} \right)$

Given that the lengths of nails produced in a factory are normally distributed with a mean of 4.63 centimeters and a standard deviation of 0.06 centimeters.

To find the two lengths that separate the top 7% and the bottom 7%, Let the two required lengths be a and b, because of the symmetry of the normal curve, the probability that the length of a randomly selected nail is between these two lengths is given by:

$P(a\ \textless \ X\ \textless \ b)=1-(0.07+0.07) \\ \\ 2P(X\ \textless \ a)-1=1-0.14 \\ \\ 2P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{a-4.63}{0.06} \right)-1=0.86 \\ \\ 2P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{a-4.63}{0.06} \right)=1.86 \\ \\ P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{a-4.63}{0.06} \right)=0.93=P(z\ \textless \ 1.476) \\ \\ \frac{a-4.63}{0.06}=1.476 \\ \\ a-4.63=0.06(1.476)=0.08856 \\ \\ a=4.63+0.09=4.72 \ and \ b=4.63-0.09=4.54$

Therefore, the two lengths that separate the top 7% and the bottom 7% are 4.54 and 4.72.
