Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a person who is 6 feet tall casts a 15-foot shadow.

Let the shadow of a 20-foot tree be x.

The height of an object varies directly with the length of its shadow, so

\frac{6}{15}=\frac{20}{x}

6x=20\times 15

6x=300

Divide both sides by 6.

x=50

The value of x is 50, therefore the shadow of a 20-foot tree is 50 feet long. Option B is correct.

The multiplier to get from 6 * ... to 15 is 15/6.
If 6 * 15/6 = 15, then 20 * 15/6 = 50, answer B.

A research group needs to determine a 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for all car insurance small claims. From
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

a) z = 1.645

b) The should sample at least 293 small claims.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.05 = 0.95, so z = 1.645, which means that the answer of question a is z = 1.645.

Now, find  the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

(b) If the group wants their estimate to have a maximum error of $12, how many small claims should they sample?

They should sample at least n small claims, in which n is found when

M = 12, \sigma = 124.88. So

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

12 = 1.645*\frac{124.88}{\sqrt{n}}

12\sqrt{n} = 205.43

\sqrt{n} = \frac{205.43}{12}

\sqrt{n} = 17.12

\sqrt{n}^{2} = (17.12)^{2}

n = 293

The should sample at least 293 small claims.

A field is a rectangle with a perimeter of 1240 feet. The length is 400 feet more than the width. Find the width and length of t
Wewaii [24]

Answer:  The length is 510 and the width is 110.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a rectangle, you will have to add the 2 times the length plus 2 times the width because  a rectangle have 4 sides. Two widths and two  lengths.

You can now use the formula  P= 2l + 2w  

were P is the perimeter , l is the length, and w is the width.

the length is 400 more than the width, so we can represent that by the equation,  l = w + 400  

And now we know that the width is w.

So now we will input the perimeter, length, and into the formula to solve for w.

1240 = 2(w + 400) + 2w

1240 = 2w + 800 + 2w

1240 = 4w + 800

-800            -800

   440 = 4w

    w = 110

L= 110 + 400

L = 510  

Check :

1240 = 2(510) + 2(110)

1240 = 1020 + 220

1240 = 1240

Which of the following is an example of an exponential function?
Orlov [11]

Answer: Choice D p(\text{x}) = 500(1.02)^{\text{x}}

Reason:

Exponential functions have the variable in the exponent.

Choice A is a polynomial, which means we can rule it out. Choice B is a log function, so we can rule it out also.

Choice C is a rational function because it is a ratio of two polynomials. This rules out choice C.

Choice D is the only function with the variable in the exponent. That is assuming you meant to say p(\text{x}) = 500(1.02)^{\text{x}} instead of p(\text{x}) = 500(1.02){\text{x}}
