Answer:

x = 4.4 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The segment from the centre of the circle to the chord is a perpendicular bisector, hence

7.4 ÷ 2 = 3.7

Consider the right triangle with legs 3.7 and 2.4 and hypotenuse x

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle, then

x² = 2.4² + 3.7² = 5.76 + 13.69 = 19.45

Take the square root of both sides

x = $\sqrt{19.45}$ ≈ 4.4 in

Answer:

4.4 in

Step-by-step explanation:

If a radius is perpendicular to a chord, it bisects that chord. You can use Pythagorean theorem here

${3.7}^{2} + {2.4}^{2} = {x}^{2}$

Once solved you'll find x to be roughly 4.4 in

Let a, b, c, and d be non-zero real numbers. If the quadratic equation ax(cx + d) = -b(cx+d) is solved for x, which of the follo

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Option d

Step-by-step explanation:

given that a, b, c, and d be non-zero real numbers.

$ax(cx + d) = -b(cx+d) \\acx^2+x(ad+bc)+bd =0$

we can factorise this equation by grouping

$(acx^2+xad)+)xbc+bd) =0\\ax(cx+d) +b(cx+d) =0\\(ax+b)(cx+d) =0$

Equate each factor to 0 to get

$x=\frac{-b}{a} , \frac{-d}{c}$

Ratio of one solution to another would be

$\frac{-b}{a} / \frac{-d}{c} \\=\frac{ad}{bc}$

So ratio would be ad/bc

Out of the four options given, option d is equal to this

So option d is right

The Precision Scientific Instrument Company manufactures thermometers that are supposed to give readings of 0 degrees Celcius at

enot [183]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that reading on thermometer is N (0,1)

7% of the thermometers are rejected because they have readings that are too low, but all other thermometers are acceptable

This implies that we have to find out the 7th percentile.

i.e. Z score = -1.475

Hence the temperature for cutoff is below -1.475 degrees.

the temperature reading corresponding to the given information.=-1.475 deg
