Three consecutive odd integers: n, n + 2, and n + 4

n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = 165
3n + 6 = 165
3n + 6 - 6 = 165 - 6
3n = 159
3n / 3 = 159 / 3
n = 53

So the first number is n, or 53.
The second number is n + 2, or 55.
The third number is n + 4, or 57.

A study was done to determine the average number of homes that a homeowner owns in his or her lifetime. For the 60 homeowners su

const2013 [10]

Answer:

D) (3.67, 4.73)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval for the true average number of homes that a person owns in his or her lifetimecan be calculated using M±ME where

M is the average number of home owned (4.2)

ME is the margin of error from the mean

And margin of error (ME) can be calculated as

ME= $\frac{z*s}{\sqrt{N} }$ where

z is the corresponding statistic in the given confidence level(1.96)

s is the standard deviation of the sample(2.1)

N is the sample size (60)

Putting the numbers we get ME= $\frac{1.96*2.1}{\sqrt{60} }$ ≈0.53

Then the 95% confidence interval is 4.2±0.53 or (3.67, 4.73)

A triangle has a height that is increasing at a rate of 2 cm/sec and its area is increasing at a rate of 4 cm2/sec. Find the rat

lesya [120]

Answer:

The value of rate of which the base is changing $\frac{dB}{dt}$ = - 3 $\frac{cm}{s}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = 20 $cm^{2}$

height = 4 cm

$\frac{dH}{dt} = 2 \frac{cm}{sec}$

$\frac{dA}{dt} =$ $2 \ \frac{cm^{2} }{sec}$

we know that area of the triangle is given by

$A= \frac{1}{2} B H$

$B = \frac{2A}{H}$

$B = \frac{2 (20)}{4}$

B = 10 cm

Rate of change of area is given by

$\frac{dA}{dT} = \frac{1}{2} [B\frac{dH}{dt} + H \frac{dB}{dt} ]$

4 = 0.5 [10 × 2 + 4 $\frac{dB}{dt}$ ]

$\frac{dB}{dt}$ = - 3 $\frac{cm}{s}$

This is the value of rate of which the base is changing.

Check all that apply. If csc =13/5 , then:

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The answer are the options B and C

$sin(x)=\frac{5}{13}$

$tan(x)=\frac{5}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$csc(x)=\frac{1}{sin(x)}$

In this problem we have

$csc(x)=\frac{13}{5}$

substitute

$\frac{13}{5}=\frac{1}{sin(x)}$

solve for sin(x)

$sin(x)=\frac{5}{13}$

$cos^{2}(x)+sin^{2}(x)=1$

substitute the value of sin(x) and solve for cos(x)

$cos^{2}(x)+(\frac{5}{13})^{2}=1$

$cos^{2}(x)=1-(\frac{5}{13})^{2}$

$cos^{2}(x)=(\frac{13^{2}-5^{2}}{13^{2}})$

$cos^{2}(x)=(\frac{144}{13^{2}})$

$cos^{2}(x)=(\frac{12^{2}}{13^{2}})$

$cos(x)=(\frac{12}{13})$

The function tangent is equal to

$tan(x)=\frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}$

substitute the values

$tan(x)=\frac{(5/13)}{(12/13)}=5/12$
