Jina wants to measure the width of a river. She marks off two right triangles, as shown in the figure. The base of the larger tr

iangle has a length of 56m, and the base of the smaller triangle has a length of 26m. The height of the smaller triangle is 20.9m. How wide is the river? Round your answer to the nearest meter.

Answer:

width of a river = 45m

Step-by-step explanation:

ration and proportion

let x = width of a river

x            20.9 m

------  =    --------

56 m       26 m

x = (20.9 * 56) / 26

x = 45 m

therefore the width of a river is 45 m

Consider the linear transformation T from V = P2 to W = P2 given by T(a0 + a1t + a2t2) = (2a0 + 3a1 + 3a2) + (6a0 + 4a1 + 4a2)t
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

[T]EE=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3&3\\6&4&4\\-2&3&4\end{array}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

First we start by finding the dimension of the matrix [T]EE

The dimension is : Dim (W) x Dim (V) = 3 x 3

Because the dimension of P2 is the number of vectors in any basis of P2 and that number is 3

Then, we are looking for a 3 x 3 matrix.

To find [T]EE we must transform the vectors of the basis E and then that result express it in terms of basis E using coordinates and putting them into columns. The order in which we transform the vectors of basis E is very important.

The first vector of basis E is e1(t) = 1

We calculate T[e1(t)] = T(1)

In the equation : 1 = a0

T(1)=(2.1+3.0+3.0)+(6.1+4.0+4.0)t+(-2.1+3.0+4.0)t^{2}=2+6t-2t^{2}

[T(e1)]E=\left[\begin{array}{c}2&6&-2\\\end{array}\right]

And that is the first column of [T]EE

The second vector of basis E is e2(t) = t

We calculate T[e2(t)] = T(t)

in the equation : 1 = a1

T(t)=(2.0+3.1+3.0)+(6.0+4.1+4.0)t+(-2.0+3.1+4.0)t^{2}=3+4t+3t^{2}

[T(e2)]E=\left[\begin{array}{c}3&4&3\\\end{array}\right]

Finally, the third vector of basis E is e3(t)=t^{2}

T[e3(t)]=T(t^{2})

in the equation : a2 = 1

T(t^{2})=(2.0+3.0+3.1)+(6.0+4.0+4.1)t+(-2.0+3.0+4.1)t^{2}=3+4t+4t^{2}

Then

[T(t^{2})]E=\left[\begin{array}{c}3&4&4\\\end{array}\right]

And that is the third column of [T]EE

Let's write our matrix

[T]EE=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3&3\\6&4&4\\-2&3&4\end{array}\right]

T(X) = AX

Where T(X) is to apply the transformation T to a vector of P2,A is the matrix [T]EE and X is the vector of coordinates in basis E of a vector from P2

For example, if X is the vector of coordinates from e1(t) = 1

X=\left[\begin{array}{c}1&0&0\\\end{array}\right]

AX=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3&3\\6&4&4\\-2&3&4\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c}1&0&0\\\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}2&6&-2\\\end{array}\right]

Applying the coordinates 2,6 and -2 to the basis E we obtain

2+6t-2t^{2}

That was the original result of T[e1(t)]

zhenek [66]

Answer:

Not true

(x/w)^2 > z

Step-by-step explanation:

(x/w)^2 will be less than 1

z is greater than 1

so (x/w)^2 < z

In the probability distribution to the​ right, the random variable X represents the number of marriages an individual aged 15 ye
kodGreya [7K]

The table of the probability is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

μ = 0.919

The interpretation of this is that;on the average, an individual aged 15 years or older has been involved in 0.919 marriages.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value which is also called mean value is denoted by the symbol μ. It is defined as the sum of the product of each possibility x with it's probability P(x) as the formula;

μ = Σx.P(x) = (0 × 0.272) + (1 × 0.575) + (2 × 0.121) + (3 × 0.027) + (4 × 0.004) + (5 × 0.001)

μ = 0.919

Thus, the interpretation of this is that;on the average, an individual aged 15 years or older has been involved in 0.919 marriages.
