Answer:

A. 3x-4=5.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two statements

Statement 1:if x=3 then 3x-4=5.

Statement 2: x=3

Law of detachment: if two statements are given

Statement: if p , then q.

Statement 2: p

Then conclusion: q

Using law of detachment to draw a conclusion

by comparing given statements with the statements of law of detachment then we get

p:x=3

q: 3x-4=5

Conclusion: q

Conclusion: 3x-4=5

Hence, the conclusion is possible and conclusion is 3x-4=5.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 4040 yards. what are the dimensions of the rectangle with maximum area?

Ivanshal [37]

Let x be the length and y be the width2x + 2y = 40x + y = 20change that into y = mx + b formy= 20 – x
Area =xy = x (20-x) = 20x - x^2Area=-x^2+20xcomplete the square:Area=-(x^2 – 20x + 100) +100=-(x - 10)^2 + 100This is an calculation of a parabola that opens downward with vertex at (10,100), which means maximum area of 100 happens when x, the length=10)Dimensions of the rectangle with maximum area? 10 yds. by 10 yds., a square.

The number of typing errors made by a typist has a Poisson distribution with an average of two errors per page. If more than two

wlad13 [49]

Answer: 0.6767

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mean = $\lambda=2$ errors per page

Let X be the number of errors in a particular page.

The formula to calculate the Poisson distribution is given by :_

$P(X=x)=\dfrac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^x}{x!}$

Now, the probability that a randomly selected page does not need to be retyped is given by :-

$P(X\leq2)=P(0)+P(1)+P(2)\\\\=(\dfrac{e^{-2}2^0}{0!}+\dfrac{e^{-2}2^1}{1!}+\dfrac{e^{-2}2^2}{2!})\\\\=0.135335283237+0.270670566473+0.270670566473\\\\=0.676676416183\approx0.6767$

Hence, the required probability :- 0.6767

artcher [175]

Answer:

a =7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+ b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2 + 10 ^2 = 12.5^2

a^2 + 100 =156.25

Subtract 100 from each side

a^2 = 56.25

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt( 56.25)

a =7.5
