Answer:

Length of longer length=132 inches

Length of shorter length=33 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Determine total length of pipe

Total length of pipe=165 inches

Step 2: Derive expression for all the lengths

We can express all these lengths as follows;

L=l1+l2

where;

L=total length

l1=length of longer piece

l2=length of shorter piece

but;

length of longer piece=4×length of shorter piece

replacing;

l1=4l2

replacing;

L=165

l1=4×l2

165=l 2+4 l2

5 l2=165

l2=165/5

l2=33 inches

l1=length of longer length=33×4=132 inches

l2=length of shorter length=33 inches

Answer:

a)

<u>The equation would be:</u>

3x + 2 = 7*2

b)

Step 1. <u>Subtract 2 from both sides:</u>

3x = 6*2

Step 2. <u>Divide both sides by 3:</u>

3x/3 = 6*2/3
x = 2*2

c)

A single box weights x= 4 units.

How large a sample should be selected to provide a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error of 6? Assume that the populati

marshall27 [118]

Using the z-distribution, it is found that a sample of 171 should be selected.

<h3>What is a z-distribution confidence interval?</h3>

The confidence interval is:

$\overline{x} \pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

The margin of error is:

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which:

$\overline{x}$ is the sample mean.

z is the critical value.

n is the sample size.

$\sigma$ is the standard deviation for the population.

For this problem, the parameters are:

$z = 1.96, \sigma = 40, M = 6$

Hence we solve for n to find the needed sample size.

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$6 = 1.96\frac{40}{\sqrt{n}}$

$6\sqrt{n} = 40 \times 1.96$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{40 \times 1.96}{6}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{40 \times 1.96}{6}\right)^2$

n = 170.7.

Rounding up, a sample of 171 should be selected.

Let us have four distinct collinear points $a,$ $b,$ $c,$ and $d$ on the cartesian plane. the point $c$ is such that $\dfrac{ab}

Deffense [45]

Start with a line segment connecting two points, A and B. $\dfrac{DA}{BA}=3$ means DA is 3 times longer than BA. Clearly, D cannot fall between A and B because that would mean DA is shorter than BA. So there are two possible locations where D can be placed on the line relative to A and B.

But with $\dfrac{DB}{BA}=2$ , or the fact that DB is 2 times longer than BA, we can rule out one of these positions; referring to the attachment, if we place D to the left of A, then DB would be 4 times longer than BA.

Finally, $\dfrac{AB}{CB}=\dfrac12$ , so that CB is 2 times longer than AB. Again we have two possible locations for point C (it cannot fall between A and B), but one of them forces C to occupy the same point as D. However, A, B, C, D are distinct, so C must fall to the left of A.

Now let $d$ be the length of AB. Then the length of CD in terms of $d$ is $4d$ . We have the coordinates of C and D, and the distance between them is $\sqrt{(4-0)^2+(0-4)^2}=4\sqrt2$ . So

$4d=4\sqrt2\implies d=\sqrt2$

The slope of the line through C and D is

$\dfrac{0-4}{4-0}=-1$

and so the equation of the line through these points is

$y-4=-(x-0)\implies x+y=4$

So the coordinates of A are $(x,y)=(x,4-x)$ . The distance between C and A is $d=\sqrt2$ , so we have

$\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(4-x-4)^2}=\sqrt{2x^2}=|x|\sqrt2=\sqrt2\implies|x|=1$

Since A falls to the right of C (in the $x,y$ plane, not just in the sketch), we know to take the positive value $x=1$ . Then the $y$ coordinate is $y=4-1=3$ .

All this to say that A is the point (1, 3), so

$2x+y=2+3=5$

Answer:

Rent in 10th year = $5345.90

Step-by-step explanation:

Rent of apartment during first year = $1800 per month

But growth in rent with 11.5% per year will be represented by the exponential function,

Rent in 't'th year = $\text{Initial rent}(1+\frac{\text{Growth rate}}{100})^{\text{time}}$

= $1800(1+\frac{11.5}{100})^t$

= $1800(1.115)^t$

Therefore, rent during 10th year will be,

Rent in 10th year = $1800(1.115)^{10}$

= $5345.90
