A town accumulated 2 inches of snow and the depth is increasing by 6 inches every hour. A nearby town ha accumulated 9 inches of

snow and the depth is increasing by 3 inches every hour. In how many hours, to the nearest tenth, will the snow fall in both of the towns be equal?

Answer: it will take 2.33 hours for the snow fall in both of the towns be equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours that it will take for the snow fall in both of the towns be equal.

A town accumulated 2 inches of snow and the depth is increasing by 6 inches every hour. This means that in x hours, the depth of snow in the town would be

6x + 2

A nearby town has accumulated 9 inches of snow and the depth is increasing by 3 inches every hour. This means that in x hours, the depth of snow in the town would be

3x + 9

For the snow fall in both of the towns be equal, the number of hours would be

6x + 2 = 3x + 9

6x - 3x = 9 - 2

3x = 7

x = 7/3 = 2.33 hours

You can use the SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS congruency for any triangles and the HL congruency for just the right triangle

What is the power of x? <br> A) 2 <br> B) 3 <br> C) 6 <br> D) 7

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

They are basically wanting the value of x.

These are 2 secant lines drawn. Secant Line is a line that intersects the circle at 2 points.

To solve this, we have to use secant-secant theorem.

Secant-Secant Power Theorem tells us that if 2 secant lines are drawn from external point (here, E) to a circle, then, product of measure of one secant's external part and total secant is equal to other secants external part and whole secant.

In algebra, that is:

$(x+1)(x+1+11)=(x+4)(x+4+1)$

Let's multiply and find the value of x:

$(x+1)(x+1+11)=(x+4)(x+4+1)\\(x+1)(x+12)=(x+4)(x+5)\\x^2 + 13x + 12=x^2+9x+20\\13x+12=9x+20\\13x - 9x = 20 - 12\\4x = 8\\x = 2$

Hence, the correct answer choice is A

what is the probability of seeing a sample mean for 21 observations less or equal to the sample mean that we observed

kramer

Answer:

$P(x \le 21) = 0.69146$

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing parameters are:

$n = 64$ --- population

$\mu = 20$ --- population mean

$\sigma = 16$ -- population standard deviation

Required

$P(x \le 21)$

First, calculate the sample standard deviation

$\sigma_x = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt n}$

$\sigma_x = \frac{16}{\sqrt {64}}$

$\sigma_x = \frac{16}{8}$

$\sigma_x = 2$

Next, calculate the sample mean $\bar_x$

$\bar x = \mu$

So:

$\bar x = 20$

So, we have:

$\sigma_x = 2$

$\bar x = 20$

$x = 21$

Calculate the z score

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

$x = \frac{21 - 20}{2}$

$x = \frac{1}{2}$

$x = 0.50$

So, we have:

$P(x \le 21) = P(z \le 0.50)$

From the z table

$P(z \le 0.50) = 0.69146$

So:

$P(x \le 21) = 0.69146$
