Solve Absolute value
4x + 12 = 16 or 4x + 12 = -16
===============================================
1.) 4x+12=16
Subtract 12 from both sides
4x+12-12=16-12
4x = 4
Divide by 4
4x ÷ 4 = 4 ÷ 4
x = 1
=================================================================
2.) 4x+12=-16
Subtract 12 from both sides
4x+12-12=-16-12
4x=-28
Divide each side by 4
4x ÷ 4 = -28 ÷ 4
x = -7
================================================================
X = 1 and x = -7 is your answer

4x+12=16
4x=4
x=1

or

-(4x+12)=16
-4x-12=16
-4x=28
x=-7

Answer:

The altitude will begin at angle D and go in a straight line downwards.

The perpendicular bisector will be a straight line going from one corner to the other corner, not directly downwards.

Answer:

b. -36/77

Step-by-step explanation:

As 0 < x < $\pi$ /2 => tan x > 0

As 0< y < $\pi$ /2 => tan y > 0

We have the formula:

$\frac{1}{sin^{2}x } =1 + cot^{2}x$ => $\frac{1}{(8/17)^{2} }$ = $1+cot^{2}x$ => $cot^{2} x=225/64$

As tan x = 1/(cotx) => $tan^{2}x = \frac{1}{cot^{2}x} =\frac{1}{225/64} = \frac{64}{225}$

As tan x > 0 => tan x = 8/15

$\frac{1}{cos^{2}y } = 1+tan^{2}y$ => $\frac{1}{(3/5)^{2} } = 1 + tan^{2} y$ => $tan^{2}y=\frac{16}{9}$

As tan y > 0 => tan y = 4/3

As tan (x-y)= $\frac{tan x - tan y}{1+ tanx * tany}$ $=\frac{(8/15)-(4/3)}{1+(8/15)*(4/3)} = \frac{-36}{77}$

Answer:

0.8254 = 82.54% probability that the mean of this sample is between 19.25 hours and 21.0 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
