A tangent is basically a line that 'just touches' a curve - i.e. it is in a place where it approaches the curve, and a single point on the line touches a single point on the curve. It's quite an awkward definition since 'just touches' means only one infinitely small part of the line touches the curve, but it's quite obvious when you see it.
For that reason, I have attached a little diagram I improvised just now to help explain it. The red dot is where they meet, and the straight line is tangential to the circle.

Which of the following sets of numbers could be the lengths of the sides of a triangle? A. 3 ft, 6 ft, 9 ft B. 3 ft, 5 ft, 7 ft
Whitepunk [10]
Answer:
<span>B. 3 ft, 5 ft and 7 ft
</span>
Explanation:
In any triangle, the sum of any two sides must be greater that the third one.

Therefore, to know if the given sides represent a triangle or not, all what we will do is add the two short sides and compare the result to the largest one.
We would have 3 options:
sum of short sides > longest side ......> It is a triangle
sum of short sides < longest side ......> It is not a triangle
sum of short sides = longest sides ....> It is not a triangle

Now, for the given:
1- Option A:
sum of short sides = 3 + 6 = 9 ft which is equal to the longest side
This option is incorrect

2- Option B:
sum of short sides = 3 + 5 = 8 ft which is greater than the longest side
This option is correct

3- Option C:
sum of short sides = 3 + 6 = 9 ft which is less than the longest side
This option is incorrect

4- Option D:
sum of short sides = 3 + 9 = 12 ft which is less than the longest side
This option is incorrect

Based on the above, the only correct option is B.

Hope this helps :)

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval based on this sample is =

[6.41, 7.79]

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Confidence Interval =

Mean ± z × standard deviation/√n

Sample mean = 7.1 hours

Standard deviation = 5 hours

n = 200 students

z = 95% confidence interval z score

= 1.96

C.I = 7.1 ± 1.96 × 5/√200

C.I = 7.1 ± 0.693

Hence, Confidence Interval

= 7.1 - 0.693

= 6.407

Approximately = 6.41

= 7.1 + 0.693

= 7.793

Approximately = 7.79

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval based on this sample is

[6.41, 7.79]

A survey of middle school students asked if they play video games. The responses are
kow [346]

Answer:

A. 35.69%

B. 62.77%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, what we must do is calculate the probability supported with the data in the table.

Part A.

What is the probability that a randomly selected student is a 7th grader?

Here the total is all the students that would be the sum of all the grades, which are 325 students.

the number of 7th graders is 116, so the probability is:

116/325 = 0.3569

that is, 35.69%

Part B: What percentage of the students interviewed play Video games?

The total number of students is the same 325 and of those 204 play video games, therefore:

204/325 = 0.6277

that is, 62.77%
