Mathematics
1 answer:
qaws [65]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

\triangle CDE \sim \triangle GDF.. (given) \\\\\therefore \frac{CD}{GD} =\frac{DE}{DF}.. (csst) \\\\\therefore  \frac{15}{x+3} =\frac{3x+1}{4}\\\\ \therefore   \: 15 \times 4 = (x + 3)(3x + 1) \\  \\ \therefore   \: 60 = 3 {x}^{2}  + x + 9x + 3 \\  \\ \therefore  3 {x}^{2}  + 10x + 3 - 60 = 0 \\ \therefore  3 {x}^{2}  + 10x  - 57 = 0 \\ \therefore  3 {x}^{2}  + 19x - 9x  - 57 = 0 \\ \therefore   \: x(3x + 19) - 3(3x + 19) = 0 \\\therefore   \:  (3x + 19)(x - 3) = 0 \\ \therefore   \: 3x + 19 = 0 \:  \: or \:  \: x - 3 = 0 \\  \therefore   \: x =  -  \frac{19}{3}  \:  \: or \:  \: x = 3 \\  \because \: x \: can \: not \: be \:  - ve \\ \therefore   \: x = 3 \\ ED = 3x + 1 = 3 \times 3 + 1  \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ ED= 10}}

The radius of the cone is 7 in and y = 25 in. What is the volume of the cone in terms of π? A cone with a right triangle formed
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

142.1π in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The radius (r) =  7 in

The slant height (y) = 25 in

Then the height (x) can be determined by using the Pythagoras rule:

y² = x² + r²

25² = x² + 7²

125 = x² + 49

125 - 49 = x²

x² = 76

x = √76

x = 8.7

The formula for the volume of a cone is;

= 1/3 πr²h

where;

height(h) is calculated as "x" from above = 8.7

Then;

= 1/3 × π × (7 in)² × 8.7 in

= 142.1π in³

The American Management Association is studying the income of store managers in the retail industry. A random sample of 49 manag
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

a) The 95% confidence interval for the income of store managers in the retail industry is ($44,846, $45,994), having a margin of error of $574.

b) The interval mean that we are 95% sure that the true mean income of all store managers in the retail industry is between $44,846 and $45,994.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

We have to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a p-value of 1 - 0.025 = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.96\frac{2050}{\sqrt{49}} = 574

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 45420 - 574 = $44,846.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 45420 + 574 = $45,994.

The 95% confidence interval for the income of store managers in the retail industry is ($44,846, $45,994), having a margin of error of $574.

Question b:

The interval mean that we are 95% sure that the true mean income of all store managers in the retail industry is between $44,846 and $45,994.

What are the domain and range of this relation? 5 4 2 1 -5-4-3-2-10
marishachu [46]

The domain in a relation y(x) is the set of values for which the relation is defined (the values on x, where y is defined)

In this relation the values wich the relation is defined is: the coordinates of x where there are a point:

Domain: -1, 0, 3

The range in a relation y(x) is the set of all the values that y(x) takes (the values of y)

In this relation the values that takes y(x) are the coordinates of y where there are a point:

Range: -3, -1, 0
