In the image, as denoted by similar sides OP and MN, we can conclude that the 2 triangles are similar triangles. To look for the value of x (which we can substitute later to find the length of segment LP), we relate the relations of segments LO and LP to segments LM and LN. This relation is shown below:

LO/LP = LM/LN

22 / x+12 = 30 / x+12 + 5
22 / x+12 = 30 / x+17

Cross-multiplying:
30x + 360 = 22x + 374

Isolating x to one side of the equation by subtracting 22x and 360 from both sides:

30x + 360 - 360 - 22x = 22x + 374 - 360 - 22x
8x = 14
x = 1.75

Since we now have the value of x, we substitute this to the equation of LP:
LP = x + 12
LP = 1.75 + 12
LP = 13.75

Therefore the value of LP is 13.75 in.

Which graph represents the solution 8 - 3x ≥ -4

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

3rd option

Step-by-step explanation:

8 - 3x ≥ - 4 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

- 3x ≥ - 12

divide both sides by - 3 , reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.

x ≤ 4

since ≤ the circle on number line is solid ( not open )

since less than 4 then arrow points left away from 4

the solution is shown on the third graph

Look at the triangle.

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Ok, Sir, The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the list of possible answers, the sides are 5 and 12 and the hypotenuse is 13, so sin(x) is either 5/13 or 12/13 depending on which of the two legs is opposite to angle x.

Researchers want to determine whether or not there is a difference in systolic blood pressure based on how many hours a person e

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

(1) The between groups degrees of freedom is 2.

(2) TRUE.

(3) The correct option is (a).

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

The between groups degrees of freedom for the study is:

$\text{df}_{B}=k-1\\=3-1\\=2$

Thus, the between groups degrees of freedom is 2.

(2)

The hypothesis for he one-way ANOVA is:

H₀: All the means are equal.

Hₐ: At least one of the mean is not equal.

The output of the ANOVA test is attached below.

The p-value of the test is 0.00005.

p-value = 0.00005 < α = 0.05

Thus, the result is statistically significant.

The statement is TRUE.

(3)

As the p-value of the test is less than the significance level, the researcher should make the decision to reject the null hypothesis.

The correct option is (a).

You are taking a line dancing class. Which actions will get you back to your original position?

ivolga24 [154]

C.

This can be proven with algebra. Imagine your starting position is 0, then you would have the equation:

0 = 3-3
0 = 0

So, you end up in your original position!
