According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) of a right-angled triangle equals to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In this case, the ladder is the hypotenuse, which equals to the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the tree + the distance we want to find (x):
5² + x² = 13²
25 + x² = 169
x² = 144
x = √144 = 12.
The distance between the ground and the top of the ladder is 12 ft.

Xavier can swim at a constant speed of 5/3 meters/second.
koban [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Well we can find how far he travels in 55 seconds if he swims at constant speed of 5/3 meters.

5/3 times 55 = approx. 91.66 meters

Therefore Xavier will not quality for the national Swim Meet because he didn't swim 100 meters in 55 seconds

The amount of time required for an oil and filter change on an automobile is normally distributed with a mean of 45 minutes and
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

1a

  P(39 <  X < 48  ) = 0.8767

1b

    95% of all sample means will fall between 40.1  <  \mu < 49.9

1c

    \= x = 41. 795

2

   n =  25

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mean is n   =  45

   The population standard deviation is  \sigma =  10

   The sample size is n  =  16

Generally the standard error of the mean is mathematically represented as

       \sigma_{x} =  \frac{ \sigma}{\sqrt{n} }

=>    \sigma_{x} =  \frac{ 10 }{\sqrt{16 } }

=>    \sigma_{x} = 2.5

Generally the probability that the sample mean will be between 39 and 48 minutes is

    P(39 <  X < 48  ) =  P( \frac{ 39 - 45}{ 2.5} <  \frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } <  \frac{ 48 - 45}{ 2.5} )

=> P(39 <  X < 48  ) =  P(-2.4 < Z< 1.2 )

=> P(39 <  X < 48  ) =  P( Z< 1.2 ) - P(Z <  -2.4)

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to  1.2  and  -2.4  is

=> P( Z< 1.2 ) = 0.88493

and  

    P( Z< - 2.4 ) = 0.0081975

So

   P(39 <  X < 48  ) = 0.88493 -0.0081975

=> P(39 <  X < 48  ) = 0.8767

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.05

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of   is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

      E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }

=>   E = 1.96 * 2.5  

=>   E =4.9  

Generally the  95% of all sample means will fall between

      \mu  -E <  and   \mu   +E

=>   45  -4.9\   and \  45  + 4.9

Generally the value which  90% of sample means is  greater than is mathematically represented

      P( \= X >  \= x  ) = 0.90

=>   P( \= X >  \= x  ) =  P( \frac{\= X  - \mu }{ \sigma_x} >  \frac{\= x  -45 }{ 2.5}  ) = 0.90

=>  P( \= X >  \= x  ) =  P( Z >  z  ) = 0.90

Generally from the z-table  the critical  value  of  0.90  is  

      z = -1.282

      \frac{\= x  -45 }{ 2.5}  = -1.282

=>   \= x = 41. 795

Considering question 2

 Generally we are told that the standard deviation of the mean to be one fifth of the population standard deviation, this is mathematically represented as

         s = \frac{1}{5} \sigma

  Generally the standard deviation of the sample mean is mathematically  represented as

          s = \frac{\sigma }{ \sqrt{n} }

=>       \frac{1}{5} \sigma = \frac{\sigma }{ \sqrt{n} }

=>       n =  5^2

=>       n =  25

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through the given point.
poizon [28]

Answer: y=-3x+29

Step-by-step explanation:

First put in y-intercept form to find the slope

4x-12y=2\\-12y=-4x+2\\y=\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{1}{6}

Slope of the 1st equation is 1/3-  the slope of the line perpendicular is the opposite reciprocal, so in the case it is -3

Use the point and the new slope to write the new equation in point slope format

y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )\\y-(-1)=-3(x-10)\\y+1=-3x+30\\y=-3x+29
