Answer:

112 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • as we know that the three set of forces will form a triangle, by using cosine rule, we can find the required angle.
  • follow the diagram in the attachment.
  • by cosine rule for \alpha,

2*10*8*cos \alpha= 8^{2} +10^{2} -15^{2}  = 64+100-225= 164-225=-61

now, dividing both sides by 2*10*8,

cos \alpha = -61/160

\alpha = 112.4 degrees = 112 ( appox)  ( use calculator for this cos inverse function)

The area is (2x + 15) square centimeters.
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Area\:shaded=\frac{3}{5} (2x+15)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s be the shaded area and u be the unshaded area, then we know that

(1).  \frac{s}{u}=\frac{3}{2}

and

(2).   s+u=(2x+15)

We solve for u in the first equation and get:

u=\frac{2}{3}s

and put this into the second equation and get:

s+\frac{2}{3}s=(2x+15)

s(1+\frac{2}{3} )=(2x+15)

s(\frac{5}{3}  )=(2x+15)

\boxed{s=\frac{3}{5} (2x+15)}

An automobile manufacturer has given its car a 52.6 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted t
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Null hypothesis:\mu = 52.6  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 52.6  

z=\frac{52.8-52.6}{\frac{1.6}{\sqrt{250}}}=1.976    

p_v =2*P(z>1.976)=0.0482  

Since the p value is lower than the significance level wedon't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean is significantly different from 52.6 MPG.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

\bar X=52.8 represent the sample mean  for the MPG of the cars

\sigma=1.6 represent the population standard deviation

n=250 sample size  of cars

\mu_o =52.6 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test

Hypothesis

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean of MPG is different from 52.6 MPG, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 52.6  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 52.6  

Since we know the population deviation the statistic is given by:

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

Calculate the statistic

Replacing we have this:

z=\frac{52.8-52.6}{\frac{1.6}{\sqrt{250}}}=1.976    

Decision

Since is a two tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(z>1.976)=0.0482  

Since the p value is lower than the significance level wedon't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean is significantly different from 52.6 MPG.

352,345,338,... Find the 43rd term
Airida [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

it seems we are dealing with subtraction, as the differences between the 1st and second, and between the 2nd and 3rd numbers are equal : -7

so, we can assume that the sequence is created by always subtracting 7.

a1 = 352

a2 = a1 - 7 = 352 - 7 = 345

a3 = a2 - 7 = a1 - 7 - 7 = 352 - 7 - 7 = 338

an = an-1 - 7 = a1 - 7(n-1) = 352 - 7(n-1)

a43 = 352 - 7(43-1) = 352 - 7×42 = 352 - 294 = 58
