Find the slope of the line. Write your answer in simplest form.

=(-4/5)^2 * -3/50
square -4/5 first; remember -4/5^2 is the same as -4/5 * -4/5

=(-4/5 * -4/5) * -3/50
multiply -4 numerators; multiply 5 denominators

=(-4 * -4)/(5 * 5) * -3/50

=16/25 * -3/50
multiply numerators 16 & -3; multiply denominators 25 & 50

=(16 * -3)/(25 * 50)
= -48/1250

simplify by 2
= -24/625 (or -0.0384)

ANSWER: -24/625 (or -0.0384)

Hope this helps! :)

A 140 kg camera is suspended by two wires over a 40 metre wide football field to get shots of the action from above. At one poin

Katen [24]

Answer:

Please red the answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the length of each cable you use the Newton second law for each component of the forces involved in the situation.

For the x component you have:

$T_1cos\theta_1-T_2cos\theta_2=0$ (1)

T1: tension of the first cable = 1500N

T2: tension of the second cable = 800N

θ1: angle between the horizontal and the first cable

θ2: angle between the horizontal and the first cable

For the y component you have:

$T_1sin\theta_1+T_2sin\theta_2-W=0$ (2)

W: weight of the camera = Mg = (140kg)(9.8m/s^2) = 1372N

You can squared both equations (1) and (2) and the sum the two equations:

$T_1^2cos^2\theta_1=T_2^2cos^2\theta_2\\\\T_1^2sin^2\theta_1=T_2^2sin^2\theta_2-2WT_2sin\theta_2+W^2$

Then, you sum the equations:

$T_1^2(cos^2\theta_1+sin^2\theta_1)=T_2^2(sin^2\theta_2+cos^2\theta_2)-2Wsin\theta_2+W^2$ (3)

Next, you use the following identity:

$sin^2\theta+cos^2\theta=1$

and you obtain in the equation (3):

$T_1^2=T_2^2-2WT_2sin\theta_2+W^2\\\\sin\theta_2=\frac{T_2^2-T_1^2+W^2}{2WT_2}=\frac{(800N)^2-(1500)^2+(1372N)^2}{2(800N)(1372N)}=0.066\\\\\theta_2=sin^{-1}0.066=27.23\°$

With this values you can calculate the value of the another angle, by using the equation (1):

$\theta_1=cos^{-1}(\frac{T_2cos(27.23\°)}{T_1})=cos^{-1}(\frac{(800N)(cos27.23\°)}{1500N})\\\\\theta_1=61.69\°$

Now, you can calculate the length of each cable by using the information about the width of the football field. You use the following trigonometric relation:

$l_1cos\theta_1=40-d\\\\l_2cos\theta_2=d\\\\$

d: distance to the right side of the field

By using the cosine law you can fins a system of equation and then you can calculate the values of l1 and l2.

Express the confidence interval (0.036, 0.086) in the form of p-e< p

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

p-e< p < p+e

(0.061 - 0.025) < 0.061 < (0.061 + 0.025)

0.036 < 0.061 < 0.086

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Confidence interval CI = (a,b) = (0.036, 0.086)

Lower bound a = 0.036

Upper bound b = 0.086

To express in the form;

p-e< p < p+e

Where;

p = mean Proportion

and

e = margin of error

The mean p =( lower bound + higher bound)/2

p = (a+b)/2

Substituting the values;

p = (0.036+0.086)/2

Mean Proportion p = 0.061

The margin of error e = (b-a)/2

Substituting the given values;

e = (0.086-0.036)/2

e = 0.025

Re-writing in the stated form, with p = 0.061 and e = 0.025

p-e< p < p+e

(0.061 - 0.025) < 0.061 < (0.061 + 0.025)

0.036 < 0.061 < 0.086
