Answer:

A. 5x^2 − 2x − 24 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

height = 5b-2

b =x

We can rewrite the height as

h = 5x-2

We know the formula for area of a triangle

A = 1/2 bh

A =1/2 x * (5x-2)

Distributing the x

A=    1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)

We know A =12

12 = 1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)

Multiply each side by 2

12*2 = 2*1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)

24 = 5x^2 - 2x

Subtract 24 from each side

24-24 = 5x^2 - 2x-24

0 = 5x^2 - 2x-24

Right triangles to find the exact length of:<br> T<br> 30°<br> 14 in<br> a) TI = in<br> 60°<br> R
ira [324]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

a) TI = 7√3 in

b) IR = 7 in

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Using cosine rule</u>:

\sf cos(x) = \dfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

\hookrightarrow \sf cos(30) = \dfrac{TI}{14}

\hookrightarrow \sf TI =  14cos(30)

\hookrightarrow \sf TI =  7\sqrt{3}

<u>Using sine rule</u>:

\sf sin(x) = \dfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

\hookrightarrow \sf sin(30) = \dfrac{IR}{14}

\hookrightarrow \sf  IR = 14sin(30)

\hookrightarrow \sf  IR = 7

Aloiza [94]

Answer:  -2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We plug in the numbers.

\frac{3xy}{2z}\\= \frac{3(2)(-3)}{2(4)}\\= \frac{-18}{8}\\= -2.25

Airida [17]

Answer:

ME=\frac{Upper-Lower}{2}= \frac{8.15-6.55}{2}= 0.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

For this case the confidence interval is given by (6.55,8.15). And we can estimate the margin of error with this formula since the confidence interval is symmetrical:

ME=\frac{Upper-Lower}{2}= \frac{8.15-6.55}{2}= 0.80

Please help me with this it’s due today .

For question 1:

Since each person is going to eat 1/4 of pizza and there are two of them, there are going to be 8 slices. There are 5 people eating, that's 5 slices gone, leaving 3.

It would be <u>D.) 3/4 pizza</u>

For question 2:

three people order the same meal. Now, if I'm correct, the meal total is AFTER the coupons were used. so that would bring total cost up to $30.75.

Divide that by 3 for all three friends:

30.75/3 = <u>D.) $10.25</u>
