Answer:

C. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, set each parenthesis equal to the opposite side (0 in this case).

(x - 4)(x - 4) = 0

x - 4 = 0

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Add 4 to both sides:

x - 4 (+4) = 0 (+4)

x = 0 + 4

x = 4

Do the same for the other parenthesis:

x - 4 = 0

x - 4 (+4) = 0 (+4)

x = 0 + 4

x = 4

C. 4 is your answer.

A triangle has side lengths of 15 10 and 7 is it a right triangle
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

No, it is not a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The sides of the triangle =  15 10 and 7

To Find:

Whether the triangle is a right triangle = ?

Solution:

According to Pythagorean theorem , In an right triangle the the sum of the squares of the two smaller sides must equal to the square of the larger side

a^2 +b^2 =c^2\\

where

a and b are the smaller sides

c is the larger side

Now from the given data, lets assume

a = 10 and b =7 and c =15

Substituting in the above equation we get,

(10)^2 +(7)^2 = (15)^2

100 + 49 = 225

149 = 225

149 \neq 225

So, the given triangle is not a right triangle.

One year had the lowest ERA​ (earned-run average, mean number of runs yielded per nine innings​ pitched) of any male pitcher at
lord [1]

Answer:

Thomas had the better year relative to their​ peers.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The complete question is</u>: One year Thomas had the lowest ERA​ (earned-run average, mean number of runs yielded per nine innings​ pitched) of any male pitcher at his​ school, with an ERA of 3.31. ​Also, Karla had the lowest ERA of any female pitcher at the school with an ERA of 3.02. For the​ males, the mean ERA was 4.837 and the standard deviation was 0.541. For the​ females, the mean ERA was 4.533 and the standard deviation was 0.539. Find their respective​ z-scores. Which player had the better year relative to their​ peers, or ​? ​(Note: In​ general, the lower the​ ERA, the better the​ pitcher.)

We are given that for the​ males, the mean ERA was 4.837 and the standard deviation was 0.541. For the​ females, the mean ERA was 4.533 and the standard deviation was 0.539.

As, we know that the z-score is calculated by the following formula;

                                 Z  =  \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean

           \sigma = standard deviation

Now, firstly we will calculate the z score for Thomas;

z-score = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

            = \frac{3.31-4.837}{0.541}  = -2.823

{Here, the mean ERA for the males was 4.837 and the standard deviation was 0.541}

Similarly, we will calculate the z score for Karla;

z-score = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

            = \frac{3.02-4.533}{0.539}  = -2.807

{Here, the mean ERA for the females was 4.533 and the standard deviation was 0.539}

Now, it is stated in the question that the lower the​ ERA, the better the​ pitcher.

So, we can clearly see that Thomas had a lower ERA of z-score as -2.823 < -2.807. This means that Thomas had the better year relative to their​ peers.
