Answer:

$EF = 62$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$CG = 11x-5$

$GD=13x-15$

$EF=12x+2$

Required

Determine EF

Since EF is a bisector of CD at G, then

$CG = GD$

$11x- 5 = 13x - 15$

Collect Like Terms

$11x - 13x = 5 - 15$

$-2x = -10$

Solve for x

$x = -10/-2$

$x = 5$

Substitute 5 for x in $EF=12x+2$

$EF = 12 * 5 + 2$

$EF = 60+ 2$

$EF = 62$

The voltage in an electrical circuit is multiplied by itself each time it is reduced. The voltage is 27/125 of a volt and it has

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The voltage in exponential form would be $(\frac{3}{5})^3$ .

The original voltage in the circuit is $\frac{3}{5}$ of a volt.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the original voltage.

We have been given that the voltage in an electrical circuit is multiplied by itself each time it is reduced. The voltage is 27/125 of a volt and it has been reduced 3 times.

The original voltage multiplied by itself for 3 times would be $x\cdot x\cdot x=x^3$ .

Now, we will equate $x^3$ with 27/125 as:

$x^3=\frac{27}{125}$

We know that 27 is cube of 3 and 125 is cube of 5, so we can represent our equation as:

$x^3=\frac{3^3}{5^3}$

$x^3=(\frac{3}{5})^3$

Therefore, the voltage in exponential form would be $(\frac{3}{5})^3$

Now, we will take cube root of both sides to find original voltage in the circuit as:

$\sqrt[3]{x^3} =\sqrt[3]{(\frac{3}{5})^3}$

Using property $\sqrt[n]{a^n} =a$ , we will get:

$x =\frac{3}{5}$

Therefore, the original voltage in the circuit is $\frac{3}{5}$ of a volt.

How do you find the g (acceleration due to gravity) in this question?

IRISSAK [1]

The weight (or mass) is irrelevant.

The period t = sqrt(2*pi*sqrt(l/g) where g is the acceleration due to gravity.

so t = 2*pi*sqrt(5/9.8) = 4.49 seconds.

Frequency = 1/period = 0.223 Hertz.

Since we are dealing with a proportion, it is determined by using the z-distribution that there is insufficient evidence to draw the conclusion that the proportion of all kochia plants that are resistant to glyphosate has increased because the test statistic is less than the critical value for the right-tailed test.

In this problem, we consider that:

$p_{1}$ is the proportion in 2014.

$p_{2}$ is the proportion is 2017.

<h3>What are the hypothesis tested?</h3>

At the null hypothesis, we test if there has been no increase, that is, the subtraction is of 0.

$H_{0}: p_{2}-p_{1}=0$

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if there has been an increase, hence:

$H_{1}: p_{2}-p_{1} \neq 0$

<h3>What is the distribution of the difference of sample proportions?</h3>

The proportions and standard errors are given by:

$p_{1}=0.197, s_{1}=\sqrt{\frac{0.197(0.803)}{61}}=0.0509\\p_{2}=0.385, s_{2}=\sqrt{\frac{0.385(0.615)}{52}}=0.0675$

Hence, the distribution has mean and standard error given by:

$\bar{p}=p_{2}-p_{1}=0.0675-0.0509=0.0166\\s=\sqrt{s_{1}^{2}+s_{2}^{2}}=\sqrt{0.0509^{2}+0.0675^{2}}=0.0845$

<h3>What is the test statistic?</h3>

It is given by:

$z=\frac{\bar{p}-p}{s}$

In which p = 0 is the value tested at the null hypothesis, hence:

$z=\frac{0.0166}{0.0845}\\$z=0.2$$

<h3>What is the decision?</h3>

Considering a right-tailed test, as we are testing if the proportion is greater than a value, with a significance level of 0.05, the critical value is of $z^{*}=1.645$

There is insufficient information to establish that the fraction of all kochia plants that are resistant to glyphosate has increased because the test statistic is smaller than the crucial value for the right-tailed test.
