Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, write a proportion between the two similar triangles.

A proportion is an equation of equal ratios.

\frac{11}{11+121}=\frac{10}{10+5x+10}  \\\\\frac{11}{132} = \frac{10}{5x + 20}

To solve cross multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction.

11(5x+20) = 132(10)

55x + 220 = 1320

55x = 1,100

x = 20

Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (0, −4) and a directrix of y = 4.
CaHeK987 [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

y=-\frac{1}{16} x^2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Equation of parabola with focus at (0,-4) and directrix is y=4.

We know that parabola is the locus of all the points such that the distance from fixed point on the parabola to fixed line directrix is the same.

The parabola is opening downwards.

Let any point on parabola is (x,y).

Distance from focus(0,-4) to (x,y) = \sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-(-4))^2}=|y-4|

\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-+4)^2}=|y-4|

(x-0)^2+(y+4)^2=(y-4)^2

(x)^2+(y+4)^2=(y-4)^2

x^2+(y^2+4y+4y+16)=y^2-4y-4y+16

x^2+y^2+8y+16=y^2-8y+16

x^2+16y^2=0

16y=-x^2

y=-\frac{1}{16} x^2

Find the values for x and y
Kruka [31]

Look at the picture.

x=90

\angle B\cong\anlge C\to m\angle B=m\angle C=47^o

We know, the sum of the measures of the triangle is equal 180°.

Therefore in ΔBCD we have:

y+47+90=180

y+137=180             <em>subtract 137 from both sides</em>

y=43

Answer: x° = 90°, y° = 43°.

What is a part of a population used to describe the whole group?
Helen [10]

Answer:

In basic terms, a population is the total number of individuals, animals, items, observation, data, etc. So the sample, in other words, is a portion, part, or fraction of the whole group, and acts as a subset of the population. Samples are used in a variety of settings where research is conducted.

A 45 gram sample of a substance that's used to preserve fruit and vegetables has a k-value of 0.1109.
natita [175]
The decay formula is
N(t) = N₀ exp(-kt)
where
N₀ = 45 g, original mass
N(t) = mass after time t, days
k = 0.1109, the decay constant.

At half life, N(t) = (1/2)*N₀. Therefore
1/2 = exp(-0.1109t)
Take natural log of each side.
ln(0.5) = -0.1109t

t = ln(0.5)/(-0.1109) = 6.25 days

Answer: 6.3 days (nearest tenth)
