<h3>Answer: Choice A)  sqrt(2)</h3>

==========================================

Explanation:

Add up all of the values

13.3+14.3+15.3+16.3+17.3 = 76.5

Then divide by 5 as there are n = 5 values in the set given

76.5/5 = 15.3

The mean of this data set is 15.3

-------------

Subtract the mean from each value to get this list of differences

x1 - mean = 13.3 - 15.3 = -2

x2 - mean = 14.3 - 15.3 = -1

x3 - mean = 15.3 - 15.3 = 0

x4 - mean = 16.3 - 15.3 = 1

x5 - mean = 17.3 - 15.3 = 2

-------------

Square each result from the previous section

(-2)^2 = 4

(-1)^2 = 1

(0)^2 = 0

(1)^2 = 1

(2)^2 = 4

Then add up those results

4+1+0+1+4 = 10

This is the sum of the squared differences.

------------

Divide the sum of the squared differences by n = 5 to get 10/5 = 2

The population variance is 2

The population standard deviation is the square root of this, so we get sqrt(2) as our final answer.

------------

Side note: This data set was fairly small, so computing the standard deviation by hand wasnt too painful. When it comes to larger data sets, it is smarter to use a spreadsheet program to easily calculate the answer. The drawback is that you wont be able to get an exact answer in terms of radicals (then again you could always use a CAS, which stands for "computer algebra system").

14(0.89)^x+4.5 =162
lisabon 2012 [21]
14(0.89)^{x + 4.5} = 162
\frac{14(0.89)^{x + 4.5}}{14} = \frac{162}{14}
0.89^{x + 4.5} = 11\frac{4}{7}
ln(0.89^{x + 4.5}) = ln(11\frac{4}{7})
(x + 4.5)ln(0.89) = ln(11\frac{4}{7})
\frac{(x + 4.5)ln(0.89)}{ln(0.89)} = \frac{ln(11\frac{4}{7})}{ln(0.89)}
x + 4.5 = -2101.14032500
x = 2105.64032500

Write an inequality for x that would give this isosceles triangle and perimeter of at least 137 ft. 4x+3 2x+7
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The inequality is 8x+17\geq 137

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The isosceles triangle with base and side 4x+3, 2x+7.

And the perimeter is at least 137ft.

To write : An inequality for x

Solution : Let the base b=4x+3 and sides s=2x+7

The perimeter of Isosceles triangle is P=2s+b

where s=side and b=base

Now, we have given that perimeter is at least 137 ft.

Therefore, the inequality form is

2(2x+7)+(4x+3)\geq 137

4x+14+4x+3\geq 137

8x+17\geq 137
