Answer: NJ = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In triangle JKL , MN is a line segment parallel to KL intersects the other sides into two distinct points at M and N.

The basic proportionality theorem says that a line is parallel to a side of a triangle which intersects the other sides into two different points then the line divides those sides in proportion.

So by basic proportionality theorem we have :-

$\frac{JM}{MK}=\frac{NJ}{LN}\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{9}{45}=\frac{NJ}{40}\\\\\Rightarrow NJ=\frac{40}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow NJ=8$

The syntax for the IF statement is as follows:
=IF(condition, value if true, value if false)

therefore, we can enter the information from the problem:

=IF($B$9>=470000,35000,1000)

What is the slandered form of equation y = -3/2 x + 5

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Ax+By=C

Step-by-step explanation:

basically the standard form of any linear equation, y=mx+b. y is the y coordinate, m is the slope, x is the x coordinate, and b is the y-intercept (where x is 0 on the line).

A survey shows that 45% of the respondents pick option A. Given that 50 people replied, what is the standard error of the propor

QveST [7]

The formula for the standard error is this:
σM = σ / √N

where
σM is the standard error
σ is the standard deviation
N is the number of samples

So,
σM = 0.45 / √50
σM = 0.0636 or 6.36%

The standard error is 0.0636
