Answer:

33 feet

22 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the longer piece be x

Therefore the shorter piece is (2/3)x

x + (2/3)x  = 55                  Combine the left 2 terms.

(3/3)x + (2/3)x = 55           Add  

(5/3)x = 55                        Multiply both sides by (3/5)

(3/5) * (5/3)x = (3/5)*55

x = 33

The larger piece is 33 feet

The smaller piece is (2/3) * 33 = 22 feet

Pamela called nine repair shops for quotes for auto repairs. The prices are $139, $150, $345, $99, $167, $155, $140, $200, and $
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The prices of quoted of auto repairs are as listed below;

$139, $150, $345, $99, $167, $155, $140, $200.

For her to check whether there is an outlier in the data, she needs to find the mean of the set of data. An outlier is a value in a set of a data that varies considerably from other data in a dataset. It may be larger or smaller than other set of datas. An outlier can affect the decision of a set of data to be analysed if nor taken care of.

From the data, the possible outliers are $99 and $345

Mean of the data = sum of all the prices/sample size

xbar = \sum Xi / N

Xi are individual datas

\sum Xi = $139+$150+$345+$99+$167+$155+$140+$200+$160

\sumXi = $1555

Sample size = 9

Mean = $1555/9

Mean = $172.78

Hence the value that would best represent the central tendency is $177.78

\cfrac{cos^2\left(\frac{\pi }{2}-x  \right)}{\sqrt{1-sin^2(x)}}\implies \cfrac{\left[ cos\left(\frac{\pi }{2}-x    \right)\right]^2}{cos(x)}\implies \cfrac{[sin(x)]^2}{cos(x)}\implies \cfrac{sin(x)sin(x)}{cos(x)}

Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter a) √3/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

find tan 30°

Use the triangle 30°-60°-90°  (see the picture below)

Tangent is the trigonometric function that relates the Opposite side and the adjacent side.

                     tan Ф = Opposite side / Adjacent side

-Substitution

                    tan Ф = 1/√3  

            or     1/√3  √3/√3 = √3/3

Answer:

this would not not be a valid conclusion because only that class was included In the poll not the entire school. Another method to determine the most popular subject is to include every class(the entire school)in the poll
