From the graph, B is to Q, A is to P, C is to R (judging by the little marks on the angles)
so AB: PQ=BC:QR
6:PQ=8:24
PQ=18

PQ = 18
Since the triangles are similar the sides are proportional
The scale factor to dilate the smaller triangle to the bigger one is 3
6*3= 18

A quadratic equation is shown below:

sweet [91]

Answer:

Part A:

( 1.8333, -0.08333)

Part B:

x = 2 or x = 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic equation

$3x^{2}-11x+10=0$ has been given.

Part A:

We are required to determine the vertex. The vertex is simply the turning point of the quadratic function. We shall differentiate the given quadratic function and set the result to 0 in order to obtain the co-ordinates of its vertex.

$\frac{d}{dx}(3x^{2}-11x+10)=6x-11$

Setting the derivative to 0;

6x - 11 = 0

6x = 11

x = 11/6

The corresponding y value is determined by substituting x = 11/6 into the original equation;

y = 3(11/6)^2 - 11(11/6) + 10

y = -0.08333

The vertex is thus located at the point;

( 1.8333, -0.08333)

Find the attached

Part B:

We can use the quadratic formula to solve for x as follows;

The quadratic formula is given as,

$x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

From the quadratic equation given;

a = 3, b = -11, c = 10

We substitute these values into the above formula and simplify to determine the value of x;

$x=\frac{11+/-\sqrt{11^{2}-4(3)(10) } }{2(3)}=\frac{11+/-\sqrt{1} }{6}\\\\x=\frac{11+/-1}{6}\\\\x=\frac{11+1}{6}=2\\\\x=\frac{11-1}{6}=\frac{5}{3}$

You are planning a survey of starting salaries for recent computer science majors. In the latest survey by the National Associat

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

A sample size of at least 228 must be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in the latest survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, the average starting salary was reported to be $61,238. Assume that the standard deviation is $3850.

And we have to find that what sample size do we need to have a margin of error equal to $500 with 95% confidence.

As we know that the Margin of error formula is given by;

Margin of error = $Z_\frac{\alpha}{2} \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$
