In a right triangle, the acute angles measure x + 15 and 2x degrees. What is the measure of the smallest angle of the triangle?

The sum of the three angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees. If the triangle is right, which means one of the angles measures 90 degrees, the other two angles should add up to 90 degrees. With this condition and the given above, x + 15 + 2x = 90. Solving for x in the equation gives x = 25. Substituting x to the given expression for the acute angles gives the measurements of 40 and 50 degrees. Thus, the smallest angle of the triangle is <em>40 degrees</em>.

The College Boards, which are administered each year to many thousands of high school students, are scored so as to yield a mean
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

a) 15.87% of the scores are expected to be greater than 600.

b) 2.28% of the scores are expected to be greater than 700.

c) 30.85% of the scores are expected to be less than 450.

d) 53.28% of the scores are expected to be between 450 and 600.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 500, \sigma = 100

a. Greater than 600

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 600. So

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

Z = \frac{600 - 500}{100}

Z = 1

Z = 1 has a pvalue of 0.8413.

1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587

15.87% of the scores are expected to be greater than 600.

b. Greater than 700

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 700. So

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

Z = \frac{700 - 500}{100}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a pvalue of 0.9772

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228

2.28% of the scores are expected to be greater than 700.

c. Less than 450

Pvalue of Z when X = 450. So

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

Z = \frac{450 - 500}{100}

Z = -0.5

Z = -0.5 has a pvalue of 0.3085.

30.85% of the scores are expected to be less than 450.

d. Between 450 and 600

pvalue of Z when X = 600 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 450. So

X = 600

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

Z = \frac{600 - 500}{100}

Z = 1

Z = 1 has a pvalue of 0.8413.

X = 450

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

Z = \frac{450 - 500}{100}

Z = -0.5

Z = -0.5 has a pvalue of 0.3085.

0.8413 - 0.3085 = 0.5328

53.28% of the scores are expected to be between 450 and 600.

A quadratic function is a function of the form y=ax^2+bx+c where a, b, and c are constants. Given any 3 points in the plane, the
pochemuha

Answer:

The quadratic function whose graph contains these points is y=-x^{2}-2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a quadratic function is a function of the form y=ax^{2}+bx+c. The first step is use the 3 points given to write 3 equations to find the values of the constants <em>a</em>,<em>b</em>, and <em>c</em>.  

Substitute the points (0,-2), (-5,-17), and (3,-17) into the general form of a quadratic function.

-2=a*0^{2}+b*0+c\\c=-2

-17=a*-5^{2}+b*-5+c\\c=-25a+5b-17

-17=a*3^{2}+b*3+c\\ c=-9a-3b-17

We can solve these system of equations by substitution

  • Substitute c=-9a-3b-17

-9a-3b-17=25a+5b-17\\-9a-3b-17=-2

  • Isolate a for the first equation

-9a-3b-17=-25a+5b-17\\a=\frac{b}{2}

  • Substitute a=\frac{b}{2} into the second equation

-9\left(-\frac{b}{2}\right)-3b-17=-2

  • Find the value of b

-9\left(-\frac{4b}{17}\right)-3b-17=-2\\ b=-2

  • Find the value of a

a=\frac{b}{2}\\  a=-1

The solutions to the system of equations are:

b=-2,a=-1,c=-2

So the quadratic function whose graph contains these points is

y=-x^{2}-2x-2

As you can corroborate with the graph of this function.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

$45.63

Step-by-step explanation:

50,145 cm^{3}  *  2.6 g/cm^3 = 130,377 g\\130,377 g = 130.377 kg\\130.377 kg * $0.35/kg = $45.63\\

or all together    

50,145 cm³  *  2.6 g/cm³ * 0.35/kg =  $45.63
