Answer:

Yes, the distance is 5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the y-coordinates are the same, we <em>can ignore the y-distance and treat the total distance like a number line</em>.

So, the distance is |9 - 4| =<em> 5 units</em>

Since each unit is a mile, that translates the distance to 5 miles.

Simplify 12 to the 16th power over 12 to the 4th power. 1212 124 112 14
Law Incorporation [45]

Greetings from Brasil...

<em />

Here's our problem:

\large{\frac{12^{16}}{12^{4}}}

From potentiation properties:

Mᵃ ÷ Mᵇ = Mᵃ⁻ᵇ

<em>division of power of the same base: I repeat the base and subtract the exponents</em>

<em />

Bringing to our problem

12¹⁶ ÷ 12⁴

12¹⁶⁻⁴

4. A random variable X has a mean of 10 and a standard deviation of 3. If 2 is added to each value of X, what will the new mean
Ede4ka [16]

Adding 2 to each value of the random variable X makes a new random variable X+2. Its mean would be

E[X+2]=E[X]+E[2]=E[X]+2

since expectation is linear, and the expected value of a constant is that constant. E[X] is the mean of X, so the new mean would be

E[X+2]=10+2=12

The variance of a random variable X is

V[X]=E[X^2]-E[X]^2

so the variance of X+2 would be

V[X+2]=E[(X+2)^2]-E[X+2]^2

We already know E[X+2]=12, so simplifying above, we get

V[X+2]=E[X^2+4X+4]-12^2

V[X+2]=E[X^2]+4E[X]+4-12^2

V[X+2]=(V[X]+E[X]^2)+4E[X]-140

Standard deviation is the square root of variance, so V[X]=3^2=9.

\implies V[X+2]=(9+10^2)+4(10)-140=9

so the standard deviation remains unchanged at 3.

NB: More generally, the variance of aX+b for a,b\in\mathbb R is

V[aX+b]=a^2V[X]+b^2V[1]

but the variance of a constant is 0. In this case, a=1, so we're left with V[X+2]=V[X], as expected.

Which set of values could be the side lengths of a 30-60-90 triangle?
jeyben [28]
If we say that side "a" is the shortest (adjacent), side "b" is the second shortest (opposite), and side "c" is the longest (hypotenuse): then angle A would be 30°,  angle B would be 60°, and angle C would be 90°

tan B = b/a
 or
a tan B = b

they have 4 as the smallest value in all four options, so we know that a=4

4 tan 60° = b
tan 60° = √3
so, 4 tan 60° = 4√3
b=4√3

that leaves two options left, so now we find "c":

c^2 = (a^2) + (b^2)
OR
c= \sqrt{a^{2} + b^{2}}

c= \sqrt{4^{2}+(4\sqrt{3})^{2}}

c= \sqrt{16+48} \\ c=\sqrt{64} \\ c=8

so a=4, b=4√3, and c=8
