Plz help!!<br> Consider the given right triangle.

aalyn [17]

Answer:

b = 8

c = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given right triangle,

a = $8\sqrt{3}$ , m(∠B) = 30°

By applying sine rule in the given triangle,

cos(B) = $\frac{\text{Adjacent side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

cos(B) = $\frac{BC}{AB}$

cos(30°) = $\frac{8\sqrt{3}}{c}$

$\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}= \frac{8\sqrt{3} }{c}$

c = 16

Further we apply tangent rule,

tan(B) = $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}$

tan(30°) = $\frac{b}{a}$

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{b}{8\sqrt{3} }$

b = 8

If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is equal to -8, which statement describes the roots?

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

There are two complex roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the discriminant is a negative number, the parabola will not intersect the x-axis. This means that there are no solutions/two complex solutions.

Select True or False for each statement. 16.32 rounded to the nearest whole number is 16 feet per second. ? 16.32 rounded to the

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

a)16.32 rounded to the nearest whole number is 16 feet per second? True

b) 16.32 rounded to the nearest tenth is 16.3.? True

c) 16.32 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 16.33. ? False

Step-by-step explanation:

Select True or False for each statement.

a) 16.32 rounded to the nearest whole number is 16 feet per second. ?

16.32 to nearest whole number = 16 feet per second. This statement above is true.

b) 16.32 rounded to the nearest tenth is 16.3. ?

The number in the tenth position is 3, the number after it is 2.

Hence, 16.32 to the nearest tenth = 16.3

Hence, the above statement is true.

c) 16.32 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 16.33. ?

The number in the hundredth position is 2. There is no number after 2.

Hence,

16.32 to the nearest hundredth is 16.32

Hence, 16.32 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 16.33 is a false statement.

An electrical firm manufactures light bulbs that have a length of life that is approximately normally distributed, with mean equ

kompoz [17]

Answer:

0.62% probability that a random sample of 16 bulbs will have an average life of less than 775 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Normal probability distribution.

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 800, \sigma = 40, n = 16, s = \frac{40}{\sqrt{16}} = 10$
