Answer:

Given MC = 4

AN = 14

To Find, the length of NB

Step-by-step explanation:

AB is a line which has midpoint “C”. Now the line is divided into two equal portion AC and CB.

The AC has midpoint “M” and MC is 4, so AM will also be 4.

N is the midpoint of CB. So, CB = CN + NB

Now we know AC = AM + MC = 4  + 4 =8

Given, AN = 14

AN = AC + CN

14 = 8 + CN

CN = 6

Since N is the midpoint of CB then, CN = NB

Therefore, the NB is 6

A particular brand of tires claims that its deluxe tire averages at least 50,000 miles before it needs to be replaced. From past
Minchanka [31]
<h2><u>Answer with explanation</u>:</h2>

Let \mu be the distance traveled by deluxe tire .

As per given , we have

Null hypothesis : H_0 : \mu \geq50000

Alternative hypothesis : H_a : \mu

Since H_a is left-tailed and population standard deviation is known, thus we should perform left-tailed z-test.

Test statistic : z=\dfrac{\overlien{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

where, n= sample size

\overline{x}= sample mean

\mu= Population mean

s=sample standard deviation

For n= 31,\ \sigma=8000,\ \overline{x}=46,800\ \&\ s=46,800, we have

z=\dfrac{46800-50000}{\dfrac{8000}{\sqrt{31}}}=-2.23

By using z-value table,

P-value for left tailed test : P(z≤-2.23)=1-P(z<2.23)   [∵P(Z≤-z)=1-P(Z≤z)]

=1-0.9871=0.0129

 Decision : Since p value (0.0129) < significance level  (0.05), so we reject the null hypothesis .

[We reject the null hypothesis when p-value is less than the significance level .]

Conclusion : We do not have enough evidence at 0.05 significance level to support the claim that t its deluxe tire averages at least 50,000 miles before it needs to be replaced.

7x² + 6x - 1<br> Algebra 3|factoring
GaryK [48]

Answer:

(7 x - 1) (x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

7 x^2 + 6 x - 1

Factor the quadratic 7 x^2 + 6 x - 1. The coefficient of x^2 is 7 and the constant term is -1. The product of 7 and -1 is -7. The factors of -7 which sum to 6 are -1 and 7. So 7 x^2 + 6 x - 1 = 7 x^2 + 7 x - x - 1 = (7 x - 1) + x (7 x - 1):

(7 x - 1) + x (7 x - 1)

Factor 7 x - 1 from (7 x - 1) + x (7 x - 1):

Answer: (7 x - 1) (x + 1)

Show that W is a subspace of R^3.
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Check the two conditions of Subspace.

Step-by-step explanation:

If W is a Subspace of a vector space, V then it should satisft the following conditions.

1) The zero element should be in W.

Zero element can be different for different vector spaces. For examples, zero vector in $ \math{R^2} $ is (0, 0) whereas, zero element in $ \math{R^3} $ is (0, 0 ,0).

2) For any two vectors, $ w_1 $ and $ w_2 $ in W, $ w_1 + w_2 $ should also be in W.

That is, it should be closed under addition.

3) For any vector $ w_1 $ in W and for any scalar, $ k $ in V, $ kw_1 $ should be in W.

That is it should be closed in scalar multiplication.

The conditions are mathematically represented as follows:

1) 0$ \in $ W.

2) If $ w_1 \in W; w_2 \in W $ then $ w_1 + w_2 \in W $.

3) $ \forall k \in V, and \hspace{2mm} \forall w_1 \in W \implies kw_1 \in W

Here V = $ \math{R^3} $ and W = Set of all (x, y, z) such that $ x - 2y + 5z = 0 $

We check for the conditions one by one.

1) The zero vector belongs to the subspace, W. Because (0, 0, 0) satisfies the given equation.

i.e., 0 - 2(0) + 5(0) = 0

2) Let us assume $ w_1 = (x_1, y_1, z_1) $ and $ w_2 = (x_2, y_2, z_2) $ are in W.

That means: $ x_1 - 2y_1 + 5z_1 = 0 $ and

$ x_2 - 2y_2 + 5z_2 = 0 $

We should check if the vectors are closed under addition.

Adding the two vectors we get:

$ w_1 + w_2 = x_1 + x_2 - 2(y_1 + y_2) + 5(z_1 + z_2) $

$ = x_1 + x_2 - 2y_1 - 2y_2 + 5z_1 + 5z_2 $

Rearranging these terms we get:

$ x_1 - 2y_1 + 5z_1 + x_2 - 2y_2 + 5z_2 $

So, the equation becomes, 0 + 0 = 0

So, it s closed under addition.

3) Let k be any scalar in V. And $ w_1 = (x, y, z) \in W $

This means $ x - 2y + 5z = 0 $

$ kw_1 = kx - 2ky + 5kz $

Taking k common outside, we get:

$ kw_1 = k(x - 2y + 5z) = 0 $

The equation becomes k(0) = 0.

So, it is closed under scalar multiplication.

Hence, W is a subspace of $ \math{R^3} $.
