Cora takes a sheet of paper and cuts from one corner to the opposite corner, making two triangles. If the piece of paper is 15 i

nches long and 8 inches wide, how long is the diagonal cut that Cora made? (This is pythagorean theorem btw)

Answer: 17 inches

Explanation: so we have a triangle with the two side lengths 8 and 15 and we’re trying to find the hypotenuse. so using the pythagorean theorem, we have 8^2 + 15^2 = c^2. when we solve we get 64 + 225 = c^2, which is 289 = c^2. next, we find the square root of both sides and c = 17 inches.

hope this helped!

A. This study is an experiment, since it was based on a random sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple random sampling is a probabilistic sampling procedure that gives each element of the target population and each possible sample of a given size the same probability of being selected.

Answer:

Not equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the negative in the parentheses. It basically multiplying everything inside by -1.

$( \frac{1}{2} + 6x + 3)$

add like terms

$6x + 3 \frac{1}{2}$

Not equivalent since the 6x is positive

I need to find the derivative. I’m not very good at this so I am answer asap would be sosososo helpful

Bingel [31]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, notice that this is a composition of functions. For instance, let's let $f(x)=\sqrt{x}$ and $g(x)=7x^2+4x+1$ . Then, the given equation is essentially $f(g(x))=\sqrt{7x^2+4x+1}$ . Thus, we can use the chain rule.

Recall the chain rule: $\frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))]=f'(g(x))\cdot g'(x)$ . So, let's find the derivative of each function:

$f(x)=\sqrt{x}=x^\frac{1}{2}$

We can use the Power Rule here:

$f'(x)=(x^\frac{1}{2})'=\frac{1}{2}(x^{-\frac{1}{2} })=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$

Now:

$g(x)=7x^2+4x+1$

Again, use the Power Rule and Sum Rule

$g'(x)=(7x^2+4x+1)'=(7x^2)'+(4x)'+(1)'=14x+4$

Now, we can put them together:

$y'=f'(g(x))\cdot g'(x)=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{g(x)}} \cdot (14x+4)$

$y'=\frac{14x+4}{2\sqrt{7x^2+4x+1} } =\frac{7x+2}{\sqrt{7x^2+4x+1} }$

15. The height and yolume of a cylinder are 4cm and 616cm respectively. Calculate the diameter of the base. (take t = 27 쪽 A. 7c

irakobra [83]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Height of cylinder = 4 cm
Volume of cylinder = 616 cm³

To find,

Diameter of the base = ?

Firstly we'll find the base radius of the cylinder.

$\longmapsto\rm{V_{(Cylinder)} = \pi r^2h}\\$

<u>Accordi</u><u>ng</u><u> </u><u>to</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>qu</u><u>estion</u><u>,</u>

$\longmapsto\rm{616= \dfrac{22}{7} \times r^2 \times 4}\\$

$\longmapsto\rm{616 \times 7 = 22 \times r^2 \times 4}\\$

$\longmapsto\rm{4312 = 88 \times r^2 }\\$

$\longmapsto\rm{\cancel{\dfrac{4312}{88}} = r^2 }\\$

$\longmapsto\rm{49 = r^2 }\\$

$\longmapsto\rm{\sqrt{49} = r }\\$

$\longmapsto\rm{7 \; cm = r }\\$

Now,

$\longmapsto\rm{Diameter = 2r }\\$

$\longmapsto\rm{Diameter = 2(7 \; cm) }\\$

$\longmapsto\bf{Diameter = 14 \; cm}\\$

The required answer is 14 cm.
