(2x+1)=Jeremy´s age
(2x+3)=Sam´s age.
we suggest this equation:
(2x+1)(2x+3)=783
4x²+6x+2x+3=783
4x²+8x-780=0
x²+2x-195=0

We solve this quadratic equation:
x=[-2⁺₋√(4-4*1*(-195))]/2=(-2⁺₋28)/2

x₁=(-2-28)/2=-15 this solution is not valid.
x₂=(-2+28)/2=13

Jeremy´s age=2x+1=2*13+1=27
Sam´s age=2x+3=2*13+3=29

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that ∠A = ∠D, and we want to prove that ΔACB ~ ΔDCE.

Statements:                                    Reasons:

1) \text{ $\angle A=\angle D$}                                    \text{Given}

2) \text{ }\angle BCA=\angle ECD                        \text{Vertical Angles Are Congruent}

3) \text{ } \Delta ACB \sim \Delta DCE                        \text{AA (Angle-Angle) Similarity}

Suppose the contact rate for a phone survey is 78% and that 22% of people will participate in that survey. Assume that agreeing
Gnoma [55]
Remember that, for independent events, the probability that both occurr is the product of the individual probabilities.

a) Probability of being contacted: 78% = 0.78

Probaility of refusing: 1 - 22% = 1 -0.22 = 0.78

Combined probability: 0.78*0.78 = 0.6084

b) The probability of failing to contact or making contact and not geeting them to agree 1 - the probability of contacting and getting them to agree.

The probabilityof contacting and getting them to agree is 0.78*0.22 = 0.1716

The the answer to this question is 1 - 0.1716 = 0.8284

Answer:

C)

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is 60 degree, and the whole circle is 360 degree, so we need to find 1/6 of the circumference of a circle, as C = 2*pi*r = 2*pi*3 = 6pi and 1/6 of it is pi.

Equation for line passing through (4,3) perpendicular to y=5x+4
ehidna [41]
Perpendicular to the line y = 5x - 9

m= -1/5

the line passing through the point (1, 4):

4=-1/5*1+q
q= 21/5

the equation is:
y= -1/5x +21/5
or
x+5y-21=0
