Answer:

$CD=7.5\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the value of AC

we know that

Applying the Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem

$AB^{2}=AD*AC$

we have

$AB=5\ cm$

$AD=10\ cm$

substitute the values and solve for AC

$5^{2}=10*AC$

$AC=25/10=2.5\ cm$

step 2

Find the value of CD

$CD=AD-AC$

substitute the values

$CD=10-2.5=7.5\ cm$

Monique's son just turned 2 years old and is 34 inches tall. Monique heard that the average boy will grow approximately 2 5/8 in

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

The equation representing how old Monique son is $\mathbf{a = 2 + \dfrac{8}{21}(q-34)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

A linear function can be used to represent the constant growth rate of Monique Son.

i.e.

$q(t) = \hat q \times t + q_o$

where;

$q_o$ = initial height of Monique's son

$\hat q$ = growth rate (in)

t = time

So, the average boy grows approximately 2 5/8 inches in a year.

i.e.

$\hat q = 2 \dfrac{5}{8} \ in/yr$

$\hat q = \dfrac{21}{8} \ in/yr$

Then; from the equation $q(t) = \hat q \times t + q_o$

$34 = \dfrac{21}{8} \times 0 + q_o$

$q_o = 34\ inches$

The height of the son as a function of the age can now be expressed as:

$q(t) = \dfrac{21}{8} \times t + 34$

Then:

Making t the subject;

$q - 34 = \dfrac{21}{8} \times t$

$t = \dfrac{8}{21}(q-34)$

and the age of the son i.e. ( a (in years)) is:

a = 2 + t

So;

$\mathbf{a = 2 + \dfrac{8}{21}(q-34)}$

SO;

if q (growth rate) = 50 inches tall

Then;

$\mathbf{a = 2 + \dfrac{8}{21}(50-34)}$

$\mathbf{a = 2 + \dfrac{8}{21}(16)}$

a = 2 + 6.095

a = 8.095 years

a ≅ 8 years

i.e.

Monique son will be 8 years at the time Monique is 50 inches tall.

Fill in the blanks to complete the 4 part conclusion. There is suggestive, but inconclusive evidence the Velvetleaf seed beetle

Anarel [89]

Answer:

a) There is suggestive evidence the velvet leaf seed is successful at weed control.

b) Lower bound: 3.699 Upper bound: 6.629

c) Since the confidence interval contains the average percent of seeds to be infected by the beetle (5.164), so we fail to reject the null hypothesis at the specified level of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the solution of the given initial value problem: y''- y = 0, y(0) = 2, y'(0) = -1/2

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: The required solution of the given IVP is

$y(x)=\dfrac{3}{4}e^x+\dfrac{5}{4}e^{-x}.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the solution of the following initial value problem :

$y^{\prime\prime}-y=0,~~~y(0)=2,~~y^\prime(0)=-\dfrac{1}{2}.$

Let $y=e^{mx}$ be an auxiliary solution of the given differential equation.

Then, we have

$y^\prime=me^{mx},~~~~~y^{\prime\prime}=m^2e^{mx}.$

Substituting these values in the given differential equation, we have

$m^2e^{mx}-e^{mx}=0\\\\\Rightarrow (m^2-1)e^{mx}=0\\\\\Rightarrow m^2-1=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{since }e^{mx}\neq0]\\\\\Rightarrow m^2=1\\\\\Rightarrow m=\pm1.$
