Answer:  7.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: One leg of isosceles right triangle = 5 inches

Since in isosceles right triangle , two sides have same side length , therefore the length of the other leg should be 5 inches.

Let H be the hypotenuse of the isosceles right triangle

Now, by Pythagoras Theorem , we have

H^2=5^2+5^2=25+25=50\\\\\Rightarrow\ H=\sqrt{50}=5\sqrt{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ H==5\times(1.41421356237)\\\\\Rightarrow\ H==7.07106781187\approx7.1\ inches

Hence, the approximate length of the hypotenuse = 7.1 inches

An electric current, I, in amps, is given by I=cos(wt)+√8sin(wt), where w≠0 is a constant. What are the maximum and minimum valu
exis [7]
Take the derivative with respect to t
- w \sin(wt) + \sqrt{8} w cos(wt)
the maximum and minimum values occur when the tangent line is zero so we set the derivative to zero
0 = -w \sin(wt) + \sqrt{8} w cos(wt)
divide by w
0 =- \sin(wt) + \sqrt{8} cos(wt)
we add sin(wt) to both sides

\sin(wt)= \sqrt{8} cos(wt)
divide both sides by cos(wt)
\frac{sin(wt)}{cos(wt)}= \sqrt{8}   \\  \\ arctan(tan(wt))=arctan( \sqrt{8} ) \\  \\ wt=arctan(2 \sqrt{2)} OR\\ wt=arctan( { \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2} } )
(wt)=2(n*pi-arctan(2^0.5))
(wt)=2(n*pi+arctan(2^-0.5))
where n is an integer
the absolute max and min will be

I=cos(2n \pi -2arctan( \sqrt{2} ))
since 2npi is just the period of cos
cos(2arctan( \sqrt{2} ))= \frac{-1}{3} 

substituting our second soultion we get
I=cos(2n \pi +2arctan( \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2} } ))
since 2npi is the period
I=cos(2arctan( \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2}} ))= \frac{1}{3}
so the maximum value =\frac{1}{3}
minimum value =- \frac{1}{3}

Find the volume of a cylinder with a diameter of 10 inches and a height of 20 inches. Use 3.14 for π.
Snowcat [4.5K]
<span>Lets find the volume of a cylinder with a diameter D=10 inches and lenght L= 20 inches. First we need to notice that the diameter is twice the size of the radius: D=2r. Then we write the equation for the volume of the cylinder. it is the base times the height: V=pi*r^2 * L. Now we input the nubmers in the equation: V=3.14*(D/2)^2 * L where r=D/2=5 inches and after calculating we get: V=1570 inches^3</span>

Allen's hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin) has been studied by zoologist Bill Alther.† Suppose a small group of 10 Allen's hummingb
ruslelena [56]

Answer: provided in the explanation segment

Step-by-step explanation:

(a). from the question, we can see that since that б is known, we can use standard normal, z.

we are asked to find an 80% confidence interval for the average weights of Allen's hummingbirds in the study region. What is the margin of error?

⇒ 80% confidence interval for the average weight of Allen's hummingbirds is given thus;

x ± z * б / √m

which is

3.15 ± 1.28 * 0.32/√10

= 3.15 ± 0.1295 = 3.0205 or 3.2795

(b). normal distribution of weight (c) б is known

(c). option (a) and (e) are correct

(d).  from the question, let sample size be given as S

this gives';

1.28 * 0.32/√S = 0.15

√S = (1.28 * 0.32) / 0.15 = 2.73

S = 7.4529

cheers i hope this helps
