ANSWER

The area of triangle DEF is 12 square units.

EXPLANATION

The area of triangle DEF can be found using the formula,

Area=\frac{1}{2}\times base \times height.


From the diagram, we can see that the height of the triangle is bounded between x=-7 and x=-11.

We use the absolute value method to find the height to be,


Height=|-7--11|=|-7+11|=|4|=4.

The base of the triangle is |DE|.

We can again use the absolute value method to to determine the length of the base to be,

Length=|9-3|=|6|=6


We now calculate the area to obtain,


Area=\frac{1}{2}\times 6\times 4 =3\times 12=12

Therefore the area of the triangle 12 square units

At the beginning of an environmental study, a forest covered an area of 1500km^2. Since then, the area has decreased by 6.3% eac
geniusboy [140]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

y=1500(0.937)^t

Explanation:

An exponential function is of the form

y=a\times b^x, where a is the initial population, b is 1 plus the amount of yearly change, and x is the number of years.

For our problem, a, the initial population, is 1500.

The yearly change is 6.3%; 6.3% = 6.3/100 = 0.063.  Since it is decreasing, this is negative; 1+(-0.063) = 0.937.

We use t as the number of years.

This gives us

y=1500(0.937)^t

mote1985 [20]
<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Given : In a restaurant, the proportion of people who order coffee with their dinner is p.

Sample size : n= 144

x= 120

\hat{p}=\dfrac{x}{n}=\dfrac{120}{144}=0.83333333\approx0.8333

The null and the alternative hypotheses if you want to test if p is greater than or equal to 0.85 will be :-

Null hypothesis : H_0: p\geq0.85   [ it takes equality (=, ≤, ≥) ]

Alternative hypothesis : H_1: p  [its exactly opposite of null hypothesis]

∵Alternative hypothesis is left tailed, so the test is a left tailed test.

Test statistic : z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}

z=\dfrac{0.83-0.85}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.85(1-0.85)}{144}}}\\\\=-0.561232257678\approx-0.56

Using z-vale table ,

Critical value for 0.05 significance ( left-tailed test)=-1.645

Since the calculated value of test statistic is greater than the critical value , so we failed to reject the null hypothesis.

Conclusion : We have enough evidence to support the claim that p is greater than or equal to 0.85.
