Answer:

4.8 degrees to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope = rise / run = opposite side / adjacent side.

So the angle of inclination is the angle whose tangent is 1/12.

To the nearest tenth of a degree it is 4.8 degrees.

The sum of 3 consecutive integers is 47 more than the first integer. Find the three integers.

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

22,23,24

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, you need to first find two consecutive integers that add up to 47, because that is the difference between the first digit and the total. This happens to be 23 and 24. Once you get these two numbers, the 22 comes intuitively, as you have to add 23 and 24 to get a difference between 22 and (22+23+24).

Can I get some help please? Thanks!

An ellipse (oval shape) is expressed by the following equation:

$\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2} + \frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1$ where h is the x coordinate of the center and k is the y coordinate of the center. Furthermore, a is the horizontal distance from the center, and b is the vertical distance from the center. Lastly, c is the distance from the center to one of the foci (they are spaced apart equally).

We can find the foci by using $a^2 - b^2 = c^2$

36 - 11 = $c^2$

$c = \sqrt{25} = 5$

Since the k value in this case is 0, the y value of both foci are 0. Also, since h and k are both 0, we know the center of the ellipse is at the origin.

So the foci are (-5, 0) and (5, 0)

Hope this helps :)

Use partial fraction expansion to evaluate: LaTeX: \int\frac{x-1}{x^2+3x+2}dx ∫ x − 1 x 2 + 3 x + 2 d x a. LaTeX: -2\ln\left|x+1

Define the random variables X and X in words. X is the amount of time an individual waits at the courthouse to be called for ser

Question

Suppose that a committee is studying whether or not there is excessive time waste in our judicial system. It is interested in the mean amount of time individuals spend at the courthouse waiting to be called for jury duty. The committee randomly surveyed 81 people who recently served as jurors. The sample mean wait time was 4 hours with a sample standard deviation of 1.2 hours. Define the random variables X and $\bar{X}$ in words.
