Answer:

Explanation:

The car travel 10ft north then 15ft due west. In order to find the distance from starting point. We need to find the hypotenuse where the distance to north and west are the adjacent side.

We can use Pythagorean’s theorem according to that:

Let c be the distance from starting point.
And a and b be the distance travel to north and west.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
10^2 + 15^2 = c^2
100 + 225 = c^2
325 = c^2
Sqrt(325) = c
5sqrt(13) = c

Therefore, the distance from starting point is 5sqrt(13) ft

An investigator wants to estimate caffeine consumption in high school students. how many students would be required to estimate
astraxan [27]

We can solve this problem by referring to the standard probability distribution tables for z.

We are required to find for the number of samples given the proportion (P = 5% = 0.05) and confidence level of 95%. This would give a value of z equivalent to:

z = 1.96

Since the problem states that it should be within the true proportion then p = 0.5

Now we can find for the sample size using the formula:

n = (z^2) p q /E^2

where,

<span> p = 0.5</span>

q = 1 – p = 0.5

E = estimate of 5% = 0.05

Substituting:

n = (1.96^2) 0.5 * 0.5 / 0.05^2

n = 384.16

Line g passes through points (5, 9) and (3, 2). Line h passes through points (9, 10) and (2, 12). Are line g and line h parallel
icang [17]

For this case we find the slopes of each of the lines:

The g line passes through the following points:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}) :( 3,2)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}) :( 5,9)

So, the slope is:

m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}} = \frac {9-2} {5-3} = \frac {7} {2}

Line h passes through the following points:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}) :( 9,10)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}) :( 2,12)

So, the slope is:

m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}}{x_ {2} -x_ {1}} = \frac {12-10} {2-9} = \frac {2} {- 7} = - \frac {2} {7}

By definition, if two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal. If the lines are perpendicular then the product of their slopes is -1.

It is observed that lines g and h are not parallel. We verify if they are perpendicular:

\frac {7} {2} * - \frac {2} {7} = \frac {-14} {14} = - 1

Thus, the lines are perpendicular.

Answer:

The lines are perpendicular.
