Answer: 12.20 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe in the figure attached that a right triangle is formed.

Then, you  need to remember the identity:

cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

In this case you can identify that:

adjacent=10\\hypotenuse=x

\alpha=35\°

Then, to find the length of the wooden board (x), you need to substitute values and solve for x.

Therefore, you get:

cos(35\°)=\frac{10}{x}\\\\(x)(cos(35\°))=10\\\\x=\frac{10}{cos(35\°)}\\\\x=12.20

The length of the wooden board is: 12.20 feet.

Alla [95]

Answer:

It would be y = 2x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because Isabella has started with 4 baked pies and is gaining additional pies with in amounts of 2 pies.

With this, 4 would be by itself and 2 would be attached to the variable x for the unknown amount of additional pies.

Lastly, you would have this all equaling y, as y is the total amount of pies.

I need the Point-Slope Form Equation
kondaur [170]

Point-Slope Equation: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) ; where (x₁, y₁) is the point and m is the slope

(x₁, y₁) = (4, 1700)   and   m = 200

y - 1700 = 200(x - 4)

2. The Welcher Adult Intelligence Test Scale is composed of a number of subtests. On one subtest, the raw scores have a mean of
IgorC [24]

Answer:

a) 37.31 b) 42.70 c) 0.57 d) 0.09

Step-by-step explaanation:

We are regarding a normal distribution with a mean of 35 and a standard deviation of 6, i.e., \mu = 35 and \sigma = 6. We know that the probability density function for a normal distribution with a mean of \mu and a standard deviation of \sigma is given by

f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}\sigma}\exp[-\frac{(x-\mu)^{2}}{2\sigma^{2}}]

in this case we have

f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}6}\exp[-\frac{(x-35)^{2}}{2(6^{2})}]

Let X be the random variable that represents a row score, we find the values we are seeking in the following way

a)  we are looking for a number x_{0} such that

P(X\leq x_{0}) = \int\limits^{x_{0}}_{-\infty} {f(x)} \, dx = 0.65, this number is x_{0}=37.31

you can find this answer using the R statistical programming languange and the instruction qnorm(0.65, mean = 35, sd = 6)

b) we are looking for a number  x_{1} such that

P(X\leq x_{1}) = \int\limits^{x_{1}}_{-\infty} {f(x)} \, dx = 0.9, this number is x_{1}=42.70

you can find this answer using the R statistical programming languange and the instruction qnorm(0.9, mean = 35, sd = 6)

c) we find this probability as

P(28\leq X\leq 38)=\int\limits^{38}_{28} {f(x)} \, dx = 0.57

you can find this answer using the R statistical programming languange and the instruction pnorm(38, mean = 35, sd = 6) -pnorm(28, mean = 35, sd = 6)

d) we find this probability as

P(41\leq X\leq 44)=\int\limits^{44}_{41} {f(x)} \, dx = 0.09

you can find this answer using the R statistical programming languange and the instruction pnorm(44, mean = 35, sd = 6) -pnorm(41, mean = 35, sd = 6)

When amy exercises in her fitness for 1 hour she burns a total of 475calories if she burns 9 calories a minute jogging on the tr
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

  26 minutes on the bicycle

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t and b represent the number of minutes on the treadmill and bicycle, respectively. The problem statement tells us two ways to relate these values.

  t + b = 60 . . . . . Amy exercises a total of 60 minutes (1 hour)

  9t +6.5b = 475 . . . . . she burns a total of 475 calories

Since we want to find the value of "b", we can use the first equation to write an expression that will substitute for t.

  t = 60 -b

  9(60 -b) +6.5b = 475

  540 -2.5b = 475 . . . . . . simpify

  -2.5b = -65 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 540

  b = 26 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by -2.5 (equivalently, multiply by -2/5)

Amy spends 26 minutes exercising on the bicycle.
