The height of an equilateral triangle is found by the formula:
height = (sq root (3) / 2 ) * side length
height = ( 1.7320508076 / 2) * 10
height = ( 0.8660254038 ) * 10
height = 8.660254038 inches

(sq root (3) / 2 ) * 10 ( 1.7320508076 / 2) * 10 ( 0.8660254038 ) * 10
height = 8.660254038 inches

Give the equation of a line that goes through the point ( − 21 , 2 ) and is perpendicular to the line 7 x − 4 y = − 12 . Give yo

nlexa [21]

Given:

Equation of line $7x-4y=-12$ .

To find:

The equation of line that goes through the point ( − 21 , 2 ) and is perpendicular to the given line.

Solution:

The given equation of line can be written as

$7x-4y+12=0$

Slope of line is

$\text{Slope}=-\dfrac{\text{Coefficient of x}}{\text{Coefficient of y}}$

$m_1=-\dfrac{7}{(-4)}$

$m_1=\dfrac{7}{4}$

Product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1. So, slope of perpendicular line is

$m_1m_2=-1$

$m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}$

$m_2=-\dfrac{4}{7}$ $[\because m_1=\dfrac{7}{4}]$

Now, the slope of perpendicular line is $m_2=\dfrac{4}{7}$ and it goes through (-21,2). So, the equation of line is

$y-y_1=m_2(x-x_1)$

$y-2=-\dfrac{4}{7}(x-(-21))$

$y-2=-\dfrac{4}{7}x-\dfrac{4}{7}(21)$

$y-2=-\dfrac{4}{7}x-12$

$y=-\dfrac{4}{7}x-12+2$

$y=-\dfrac{4}{7}x-10$

Therefore, the required equation in slope intercept form is $y=-\dfrac{4}{7}x-10$ .

Suppose a 90% confidence interval for the mean salary of college graduates in a town in Mississippi is given by [$38,737, $50,46

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

a. The point estimate was of $44,600.

b. The sample size was of 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval concepts:

A confidence interval has two bounds, a lower bound and an upper bound.

A confidence interval is symmetric, which means that the point estimate used is the mid point between these two bounds, that is, the mean of the two bounds.

The margin of error is the difference between the two bounds, divided by 2.

a. What is the point estimate of the mean salary for all college graduates in this town?

Mean of the bounds, so:

(38737+50463)/2 = 44600.

The point estimate was of $44,600.

b. Determine the sample size used for the analysis.

First we need to find the margin of error, so:

$M = \frac{50463-38737}{2} = 5863$
