Answer:

CD = 6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle ABC , AB is the hypotenuse then    AB =√(BC)² + (AC)²  = √(12)² + (9)²   =  15

AB = 15

sin ∠ABC  12/15   = 0,8   Then   arcsin (0.8)  =  53,1°

∠ABC  = 53,1°      and   ∠BAC  =  36,9°

Now the hypotenuse is 15 units and we need to find the lenght of segment

CD. If we divide the hypotenuse in three equal segment (of lenght 5 each) we at the same time are dividing the ∠ACB ( 90°),  in three equals angles of

30°.

If we now apply sin law

sin 30°/ 5    = sin 36,9°/CD

Then    CD  = 5 * sin 36.9° / sin 30°   ⇒  CD =[ 5* (9/15) ] / 1/2

CD = 6 units

Answer:

90% confidence interval for the population mean is between a lower limit of $92.18 and an upper limit of $107.82.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for a population mean is given as mean +/- margin of error (E)

mean = $100

sd = $25.20

n = 30

degree of freedom = n-1 = 30-1 = 29

confidence level (C) = 90% = 0.9

significance level = 1 - C = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1 = 10%

critical value (t) corresponding to 29 degrees of freedom and 10% significance level is 1.699

E = t×sd/√n = 1.699×25.20/√30 = $7.82

Lower limit of population mean = mean - E = 100 - 7.82 = $92.18

Upper limit of population mean = mean + E = 100 + 7.82 = $107.82

90% confidence interval is ($92.18, $107.82)

Which is a solution to the system of equations?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Choices A, C, D have a y-value that is 5 more than the x-value, so those points are on the line defined by the first equation.


Choice D satisfies the requirement

... y = 2x - 13

... 23 = 2·18 - 13

... 23 = 36 - 13


The appropriate choice is ...

... D (18, 23)

how do you determine if the answer to a problem is negative or positive in division multiplication addition and subtraction
erica [24]
In multiplication, a negative times a positive has a negative answer. if both are positive or both are negative, the answer is positive.
5 * -5 = -25
-5* -5 = 25


in divisions say you have
-5/5 = -1
-5/-5= 1
5/-5= -1


in addition and subtraction, subtracting a negative means to add the two numbers. adding a negative means to subtract the second number.

5+ (-5) = 0
5- (-5) = 10
