The coordinates of the fourth vertex are (2, -4).

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The opposite sides of a triangle are always equal.

First, we plot the three given points of the rectangle.

Assume the top left corner is A, the top right corner is B, the bottom left corner is C and the bottom right corner is D.

We need to determine the coordinates of point D.

Step 2:

The coordinates of the given three points are

A (-2, 5), B (2, 5), and C (-2, -4).

A and C are the same side i.e. the left side, they have the same x coordinate of -2.

So B and D will have the same x coordinate of 2.

A and B are on the same side too i.e. the top side so they both have the same y coordinate of 5.

The points C and D are two ends of the bottom side so they must have the same y coordinate of -4.

So the coordinates of the fourth vertex are (2, -4).

You notice a hot air balloon descending. The elevation h (in feet) of the balloon is modeled by the function h(x)=−6x+330, where

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the elevation h (in feet) of the balloon modeled by the function h(x)=−6x+330, we can calculate the time it takes the balloon to reach the ground. The hot air balloon hits the ground at h(x) = 0.

Substitute h(x) = 0 into the modeled expression and find x as shown;

h(x)=−6x+330

0 = −6x+330

6x = 330

Divide both sides by 6

6x/6 = 330/6

x = 55 seconds

Hence the hot air balloon hits the ground after 55 seconds

A veterinary researcher takes a random sample of 60 horses presenting with colic. The average age of the random sample of horses

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Probability that a sample mean is 12 or larger for a sample from the horse population is 0.0262.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a veterinary researcher takes a random sample of 60 horses presenting with colic. The average age of the random sample of horses with colic is 12 years. The average age of all horses seen at the veterinary clinic was determined to be 10 years. The researcher also determined that the standard deviation of all horses coming to the veterinary clinic is 8 years.

So, firstly according to Central limit theorem the z score probability distribution for sample means is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\bar X$ = average age of the random sample of horses with colic = 12 yrs

$\mu$ = average age of all horses seen at the veterinary clinic = 10 yrs

$\sigma$ = standard deviation of all horses coming to the veterinary clinic = 8 yrs

n = sample of horses = 60

So, probability that a sample mean is 12 or larger for a sample from the horse population is given by = P( $\bar X$ $\geq$ 12)

P( $\bar X$ $\geq$ 12) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ $\geq$ $\frac{12-10}{\frac{8}{\sqrt{60} } }$ ) = P(Z $\geq$ 1.94) = 1 - P(Z < 1.94)

= 1 - 0.97381 = 0.0262

Therefore, probability that a sample mean is 12 or larger for a sample from the horse population is 0.0262.
