We are tasked to solved for the length of the ramp having an inclination of 15 degrees with the ground and 10 feet from the end of the ramp to the base of the building of the ground. Using trigonometric properties, we have a formula given an angle and the its opposite sides which is,
sin(Angle)=opposite/hypothenuse
hypothenuse would be the distance or the length of the ramp.
so we have,
sin(15)=10/hypothenuse
Cross-multiply, we have,
hypothenuse=10/sin(15)
using scientific calculator having a DEG mode,
hypothenuse=38.63703
Rounding of in nearest tenth we get,
hypothenuse=38.6 ft
Therefore, the ramp is 38.6 ft long

A college-entrance exam is designed so that scores are normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100.
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

The probability is  0.003

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the average \mu is:

\mu=500

The standard deviation \sigma is:

\sigma=100

The Z-score is:

Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

We seek to find

P(x800)

For P(x>800) The Z-score is:

Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Z=\frac{800-500}{100}

Z=3

The score of Z = 3 means that 800 is 3 standard deviations from the mean. Then by the rule of the 8 parts of the normal curve, the area that satisfies the conficion of 3 deviations from the mean has percentage of 0.15%

So

P(x>800)=0.15\%

For P(x<200) The Z-score is:

Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Z=\frac{200-500}{100}

Z=-3

The score of Z = -3 means that 200 is 3 standard deviations from the mean. Then by the rule of the 8 parts of the normal curve, the area that satisfies the conficion of 3 deviations from the mean has percentage of 0.15%

So

P(x

Therefore

P(x800)=P(x800)

P(x800)=0.0015 + 0.0015

P(x800)=0.003

What is 30x pulse 80x
nataly862011 [7]
It would be 110x because they are like units, so they can be added together. Really, you are just doing 80 plus 30, and then adding an x on the end.

The graph g(x) is the graph of f(x) translated (5,2,3) units (down,up,left,right) , and g(x) =(f(x-3),f(x)-5,f(x)+3,f(x-2),f(x)+
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The graph g(x) is the graph of f(x) translated <u>2</u> units <u>right</u>, and g(x) = <u>f(x-2)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) passes through points (0, -5) and (1, -2), then the slope of g(x) is the same as the slope of f(x), which is 3.

f(x) passes through (0, 1) and g(x) passes through (2, 1). Therefore, the graph g(x) is the graph of f(x) translated 2 units right.

f(x - c) translates f(x) c units to the right, therefore g(x) = f(x-2)

In order to check this result, we make:

f(x) = 3x + 1

f(x-2) = 3(x-2) + 1

f(x-2) = 3x - 6 + 1

f(x-2) = 3x - 5 = g(x)
