F is between E and G, EF=2x-2, EG=6x+10, and FG=6x. Find x.

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that F is between E and G , then

EF + FG = EG , substitute values

2x - 2 + 6x = 6x + 10 , that is

8x - 2 = 6x + 10 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

2x - 2 = 10 ( add 2 to both sides )

2x = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 6

Write an equation for the line parallel to the given line that contains C.
lyudmila [28]

ANSWER

y= - 4x + 18

EXPLANATION

The given line has equation;

y =  - 4x + 5

The slope of this line is

-4

The given line is parallel to this line so it has the same slope:

m =  - 4

The equation of this line is in the form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

We substitute the slope and the point:

(3,6)

y-6= - 4(x-3)

y= - 4x + 12+ 6

y= - 4x + 18

Lines k and n intersect on the y-axis
avanturin [10]

a) The equation of line k is:

y = -\frac{202}{167}x + \frac{598}{167}

b) The equation of line j is:

y = \frac{167}{202}x + \frac{1546}{202}

The equation of a line, in <u>slope-intercept formula</u>, is given by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

Item a:

  • Line k intersects line m with an angle of 109º, thus:

\tan{109^{\circ}} = \frac{m_2 - m_1}{1 + m_1m_2}

In which m_1 and m_2 are the slopes of <u>k and m.</u>

  • Line k goes through points (-3,-1) and (5,2), thus, it's slope is:

m_1 = \frac{2 - (-1)}{5 - (-3)} = \frac{3}{8}

  • The tangent of 109 degrees is \tan{109^{\circ}} = -\frac{29}{10}
  • Thus, the slope of line m is found solving the following equation:

\tan{109^{\circ}} = \frac{m_2 - m_1}{1 + m_1m_2}

-\frac{29}{10} = \frac{m_2 - \frac{3}{8}}{1 + \frac{3}{8}m_2}

m_2 - \frac{3}{8} = -\frac{29}{10} - \frac{87}{80}m_2

m_2 + \frac{87}{80}m_2 = -\frac{29}{10} + \frac{3}{8}

\frac{167m_2}{80} = \frac{-202}{80}

m_2 = -\frac{202}{167}

Thus:

y = -\frac{202}{167}x + b

It goes through point (-2,6), that is, when x = -2, y = 6, and this is used to find b.

y = -\frac{202}{167}x + b

6 = -\frac{202}{167}(-2) + b

b = 6 - \frac{404}{167}

b = \frac{6(167)-404}{167}

b = \frac{598}{167}

Thus. the equation of line k, in slope-intercept formula, is:

y = -\frac{202}{167}x + \frac{598}{167}

Item b:

  • Lines j and k intersect at an angle of 90º, thus they are perpendicular, which means that the multiplication of their slopes is -1.

Thus, the slope of line j is:

-\frac{202}{167}m = -1

m = \frac{167}{202}

Then

y = \frac{167}{202}x + b

Also goes through point (-2,6), thus:

6 = \frac{167}{202}(-2) + b

b = \frac{(2)167 + 202(6)}{202}

b = \frac{1546}{202}

The equation of line j is:

y = \frac{167}{202}x + \frac{1546}{202}

Hey there! :)

Answer:

SA = 144 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the surface area by calculating the areas of each of the lateral sides and bases:

In this instance, the bases are triangles, so the formula A = 1/2(bh) will be used:

Bases:

A = 1/2(bh)

A = 1/2(4·3)

A = 1/2(12)

A = 6 cm².

There are two bases, so:

6 × 2 = 12 cm²

Find the areas of the lateral sides using A = l × w:

5 × 11 = 55 cm²

4 × 11 = 44 cm²

3 × 11 = 33 cm²

Add up all of the areas:

12 + 55 + 44 + 33 = 144 cm².

Last Wednesday, a random sample of 24 students were surveyed to find how long it takes to walk from the Fretwell Building to the
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

E

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- We are to investigate the confidence interval of 95% for the population mean of walking times from Fretwell Building to the college of education building.

- The survey team took a sample of size n = 24 students and obtained the following results:

                Sample mean ( x^ ) = 12.3 mins

                Sample standard deviation ( s ) = 3.2 mins

- The sample taken was random and independent. We can assume normality of the sample.

- First we compute the critical value for the statistics.

- The z-distribution is a function of two inputs as follows:

  • Significance Level  ( α / 2 ) = ( 1 - CI ) / 2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

Compute: z-critical = z_0.025 = +/- 1.96

- The confidence interval for the population mean ( u ) of  walking times is given below:

                      [ x^ - z-critical*s / √n  ,   x^ + z-critical*s / √n  ]

Answer:        [ 12.3 - 1.96*3.2 / √24  ,  12.3 + 1.96*3.2 / √24  ]
