X= 70 degrees
Y= 70 degrees

Understand that every triangle has three angles and they add up to 180 degrees.

If I split this triangle in half the total degrees of each individual piece will be 90 degrees. A split in the isosceles triangle will also cause the 40 degrees to halved (thus, how I got 20 degrees in our 90 triangle).

Since we are dealing with an isosceles triangles two of the sides will be equal (hence, the dashes on the triangles sides). Therefore, x and y will also be equal.

Now if our 40 degreed angle is now 20 degrees, we have an unknown angle and the triangle in total now adds up to 90 degrees we can set up an equation.

20 + y = 90

Y = 70

Since X and Y are equal, X will also be 70.

If we return to to the isosceles triangle before it was split (use your photo for reference) and we add 40 +70 + 70 we will get 180 degrees. Which is the standard total of degrees for any triangle that is not a 90 degreed triangle.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask questions.

Below I uploaded my work.

HELP 40 POINTS

Tom [10]

Answer: the function g(x) has the smallest minimum y-value.

Explanation:

1) The function f(x) = 3x² + 12x + 16 is a parabola.

The vertex of the parabola is the minimum or maximum on the parabola.

If the parabola open down then the vertex is a maximum, and if the parabola open upward the vertex is a minimum.

The sign of the coefficient of the quadratic term tells whether the parabola opens upward or downward.

When such coefficient is positive, the parabola opens upward (so it has a minimum); when the coefficient is negative the parabola opens downward (so it has a maximum).

Here the coefficient is positive (3), which tells that the vertex of the parabola is a miimum.

Then, finding the minimum value of the function is done by finding the vertex.

I will change the form of the function to the vertex form by completing squares:

Given: 3x² + 12x + 16

Group: (3x² + 12x) + 16
Common factor: 3 [x² + 4x ] + 16
Complete squares: 3[ ( x² + 4x + 4) - 4] + 16
Factor the trinomial: 3 [(x + 2)² - 4] + 16
Distributive property: 3 (x + 2)² - 12 + 16
Combine like terms: 3 (x + 2)² + 4

That is the vertex form: A(x - h)² + k, whch means that the vertex is (h,k) = (-2, 4).

Then the minimum value is 4 (when x = - 2).

2) The othe function is g(x)= 2 *sin(x-pi)


The sine function goes from -1 to + 1, so the minimum value of sin(x - pi) is - 1.

When you multiply by 2, you just increased the amplitude of the function and obtain the new minimum value is 2 (-1) = - 2

Comparing the two minima, you have 4 vs - 2, and so the function g(x) has the smallest minimum y-value.

I DONT UNDERSTAND HELP Find the values of the variables (Simplify your answers )

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

x=88 (alternative angles)

y=31 each

v=41 (alternative angles)

w=20 (alternative angles)

Step-by-step explanation:

for y:

we add all the angles got therefore,

20+41+88+y+20+41+88+y=360(because total angle in a quadilateral is 360°)

298+2y=360

2y=360-298

2y=62

therefore y=62/2=31° for each y

In a completely randomized experimental design, three brands of paper towels were tested for their ability to absorb water. Equa

arlik [135]

Answer:

Yes. At this significance level, there is evidence to support the claim that there is a difference in the ability of the brands to absorb water.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete:

The significance level is 0.05.

The data is:

Brand X: 91, 100, 88, 89

Brand Y: 99, 96, 94, 99

Brand Z: 83, 88, 89, 76

We have to check if there is a significant difference between the absorbency rating of each brand.

Null hypothesis: all means are equal

$H_0:\mu_x=\mu_y=\mu_z$

Alternative hypothesis: the means are not equal

$H_a: \mu_x\neq\mu_y\neq\mu_z$

We have to apply a one-way ANOVA

We start by calculating the standard deviation for each brand:

$s_x^2=30,\,\,s_y^2=6,\,\,s_z^2=35.33$

Then, we calculate the mean standard error (MSE):

$MSE=(\sum s_i^2)/a=(30+6+35.33)/3=71.33/3=23.78$

Now, we calculate the mean square between (MSB), but we previously have to know the sample means and the mean of the sample means:

$M_x=92,\,\,M_y=97,\,\,M_z=84\\\\M=(92+97+84)/3=91$

The MSB is then:

$s^2=\dfrac{\sum(M_i-M)^2}{N-1}\\\\\\s^2=\dfrac{(92-91)^2+(97-91)^2+(84-91)^2}{3-1}\\\\\\s^2=\dfrac{1+36+49}{2}=\dfrac{86}{2}=43\\\\\\\\MSB=ns^2=4*43=172$
