We can Notice from the Diagram that the Ladder with Wall Forms a Right Angled Triangle.

We know that In A Right Angles Triangle :

(Hypotenuse)² = (First Leg)² + (Second Leg)²

Here the Hypotenuse is the Length of Ladder and One of the Leg is Length away from the Wall

Substituting the Respective Values, We get :

⇒ 5² + (Second Leg)² = 13²

⇒ 25 + (Second Leg)² = 169

⇒ (Second Leg)² = 169 - 25

⇒ (Second Leg)² = 144

⇒ Second Leg = 12 Feet

⇒ The Ladder reaches a Height of 12 Feet

Option C is the Answer

You are solving for the height. Use the formula:

c² - b² = a²      in which c = hypotenuse

(13)² - (5)² = a²

Simplify

169 - 25 = a²

144 = a²

Isolate the a. Root both sides

√144 = √a²

a = √144

a = √(12 x 12)

a = 12

C) 12 feet is your answer

Consider a circle whose equation is x2 + y2 – 2x – 8 = 0. Which statements are true? Select three options. The radius of the cir
FromTheMoon [43]

The statements which are correct about the equation of circle x^{2} +y^{2}-2x-8=0 are 1) The radius of the circle is 3 units,2) The center of the circle lies on the x axis,5) The radius of this circle is the same the radius of the circle whose equation is x^{2} +y^{2} =9.

Given the equation of circle be x^{2} +y^{2}-2x-8=0.

We are required to find the appropriate statements related to the equation x^{2} +y^{2}-2x-8=0.

x^{2} +y^{2}-2x-8=0 can be written as under:

x^{2} +y^{2} -2x+1-9=0

x^{2} +1^{2}-2x+y^{2} -9=0

(x-1)^{2}+y^{2}-9=0

(x-1)^{2} +y^{2} =9

(x-1)^{2}+y^{2}  =3^{2}

Equation of a circle usually in the form x^{2} +y^{2} =a^{2} in which a is radius.

From the comparison of both the equations we get that radius is 3 units.

From the equation point will be (1,0). It is on the x axis.

Hence the statements which are correct about the equation of circle x^{2} +y^{2}-2x-8=0 are 1) The radius of the circle is 3 units,2) The center of the circle lies on the x axis,5) The radius of this circle is the same the radius of the circle whose equation is x^{2} +y^{2} =9.

An automobile manufacturer has given its car a 46.7 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted t
erastova [34]

Answer:

z=\frac{46.5-46.7}{\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{150}}}=-2.23    

The p value would be given by:

p_v =2*P(z  

For this case since th p value is lower than the significance level of0.05 we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean for this case is significantly different from 46.7 MPG

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X=46.5 represent the mean

\sigma=1.1 represent the population standard deviation

n=150 sample size  

\mu_o =46.7 represent the value to verify

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

z would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value

Hypothesis to test

We want to test if the true mean for this case is 46.7, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 46.7  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 46.7  

Since we know the population deviation the statistic is given by:

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

Replacing we got:

z=\frac{46.5-46.7}{\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{150}}}=-2.23    

The p value would be given by:

p_v =2*P(z  

For this case since th p value is lower than the significance level of0.05 we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean for this case is significantly different from 46.7 MPG
