Alistair has a rectangular picture measuring 8 inches by 7 inches. He makes a frame for the picture, shown by the shaded area in

the diagram. The area of the frame is 34 square inches, and the width of the frame is x inches. Use this information to complete the activity.
1.Using the given information, write an equation to model the area of the frame.
2.
Which type of equation did you write to model the given scenario, linear or quadratic?
3.Use the equation you created in part A to find the width of the picture frame

<span>You are given a rectangular picture measuring 8 inches by 7 inches. Also, Alistair wants this to be framed and that the total area is 34 square inches. The width of the frame is x inches. To solve the dimension of the frame with value of x we have:

We have to assume that x here will be equal to all sides of the frame and so, using the area of the rectangle, we can model the equation like this:
A = LW (where A is the area, L is the length and W is the width)
36 = (8 - x)(7 - x)
36 = 56 - 8x - 7x + x</span>²
<span>x</span>² - 15x +20 = 0 → model of our equation and in quadratic form

x² - 15x + 20 = 0
using a calculator, x = 1.48 inches
<span>
3.Use the equation you created in part A to find the width of the picture frame</span>

An aircraft emergency locator transmitter (ELT) is a device designed to transmit a signal in the case of a crash. The ACME Manuf
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

a) P(ACME) = 0.7

b) P(ACME/D) = 0.5976

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking into account that ACME manufacturing company makes 70% of the ELTs, if a locator is randomly selected from the general population, the probability that it was made by ACME manufacturing Company is 0.7. So:

P(ACME) = 0.7

Then, the probability P(ACME/D) that a randomly selected locator was made by ACME given that the locator is defective is calculated as:

P(ACME/D) = P(ACME∩D)/P(D)

Where the probability that a locator is defective is:

P(D) = P(ACME∩D) + P(B. BUNNY∩D) + P(W. E. COYOTE∩D)

So, the probability P(ACME∩D) that a locator was made by ACME and is defective is:

P(ACME∩D) = 0.7*0.035 = 0.0245

Because 0.035 is the rate of defects in ACME

At the same way, P(B. BUNNY∩D) and P(W. E. COYOTE∩D) are equal to:

P(B. BUNNY∩D) = 0.25*0.05 = 0.0125

P(W. E. COYOTE∩D) = 0.05*0.08 = 0.004

Finally, P(D) and P(ACME/D) is equal to:

P(D) = 0.0245 + 0.0125 + 0.004 = 0.041

P(ACME/D) = 0.0245/0.041 = 0.5976

The inverse, converse and contrapositive of a statement are used to determine the true values of the statement

<h3>How to determine the inverse, converse and contrapositive</h3>

As a general rule, we have:

If a conditional statement is: If p , then q .

Then:

  • Inverse -> If not p , then not q .
  • Converse -> If q , then p .
  • Contrapositive -> If not q , then not p .

Using the above rule, we have:

<u>Statement 1</u>

  • Inverse: If a parallelogram does not have a right angle, then it is not a rectangle.
  • Converse: If a parallelogram is a rectangle, then it has a right angle.
  • Contrapositive: If a parallelogram is a not rectangle, then it does not have a right angle.

All three statements above are true

<u>Statement 2</u>

  • Inverse: If two angles of one triangle are not congruent to two angles of another, then the third angles are not congruent.
  • Converse: If the third angles of two triangle are congruent, then the two angles are congruent to two angles of another
  • Contrapositive: If the third angles of two triangle are not congruent, then the two angles are not congruent to two angles of another

All three statements above are also true

Find an exact value. Cos 75° negative square root of six plus square root of two quantity square root of six minus square root o
ehidna [41]

Answer:

√2(√3 - 1)/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an exact value for Cos75°, we use the compound angle formula. Since 75° = 45° + 30°, Cos75° = Cos(45° + 30°).

Using Cos(A + B) = CosACosB - SinASinB where A = 45° and B = 30°,  

Cos75° = Cos(45° + 30°) = Cos45°Cos30° - Sin45°Sin30°

Now Cos45° = Sin45° = 1/√2 = √2/2, Cos30° = √3/2 and Sin30° = 1/2.

Substituting these values into the above equation, we have

Cos75° = Cos(45° + 30°)

= Cos45°Cos30° - Sin45°Sin30°

= √2/2 × √3/2 -  √2/2 × 1/2

= √6/4 -√2/4

= √2(√3 - 1)/4
