Answer:

option 4 ⇒ 236 lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

Best explanation of the question is as shown in the attached figure.

we will use the parallelogram method to calculate resultant force.

to get the length of the resultant force ⇒ use the cosines law

The cosine law is a² = b² + c² - 2 * b * c * cos (∠A)

Applying at the question where b = F₁  , c = F₂  and  ∠A = ∠x

Given that F₁ = 100 pounds  , F₂ = 150 pounds  and  ∠x = 180° - 40° = 140°

∴ (Resultant force)² = 100² + 150² - 2 * 100 * 150 * cos (∠140) = 55481

∴ Resultant force = √55481 = 235.54 ≅ 236 pounds

The answer is option 4 ⇒ 236 lb.

The amount of an invoice is $1000, with terms 2/10, n45. The amount to be paid within the discount period is:
just olya [345]

Answer:The amount to be paid within the discount period is $980

Step-by-step explanation:

The term 2/10, n45

means that 2%  discount is  offered if the amount of invoice is paid within 10 days from the date of invoice .

n/45 means that the buyer will pay the full amount within 45 days if he /she does not pay within the discount period of 10 days .

Now if the amount is to be paid within the discount period, the amount will be

Amount to be paid= $1000- 2% of 1000

= $1000-20

=$980

The ______________ provides a single measure for a certain population, also called the average.
Sever21 [200]

The arithmetic mean provides a single measure for a certain population, also called the average.

The sum of a set of numbers divided by the total number of numbers in the set is known as the arithmetic mean or arithmetic average in mathematics and statistics.

The ratio of the total number of observations divided by the sum of all the given observations is known as the arithmetic mean. For instance, if the data set contains 5 observations, it is possible to get the arithmetic mean by adding all 5 of the given observations and dividing by 5.
