Answer:  THe correct option is (C) 15.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the length of SR in the right-angled triangle SRQ as shown in the figure.

Since RT is perpendicular to the hypotenuse SQ, so triangle RTQ and SRT are also right-angled triangles at angle RTQ and RTS respectively.

Also, RQ = 20 units and TQ = 16 units.

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle RTQ, we have

RQ^2=RT^2+TQ^2\\\\\Rightarrow RT=\sqrt{RQ^2-TQ^2}\\\\\Rightarrow RT=\sqrt{20^2-16^2}\\\\\Rightarrow RT=\sqrt{144}\\\\\Rightarrow RT=12.

Now, since RT is perpendicular to the hypotenuse of ΔRST, so we get

ST\times TQ=RT^2\\\\\Rightarrow RS\times 16=144\\\\\Rightarrow RS=\dfrac{144}{16}\\\\\Rightarrow RS=9.

Again, using Pythagoras theorem in right-angled triangle RST, we get

SR^2=RT^2+ST^2\\\\\Rightarrow SR=\sqrt{144+81}\\\\\Rightarrow SR=\sqrt{225}\\\\\Rightarrow SR=15.

Thus, the length of SR is 15 units.

Option (C) is CORRECT.

Can you help me? Please

Answer:

  a.

Step-by-step explanation:

For an even-index radical, ...

  \sqrt[n]{x^n}=|x|\qquad\text{n even}

This lets us simplify the given expression as follows:

  \sqrt[4]{81x^6y^4}-|y|\sqrt[4]{x^6}-\sqrt[4]{16x^2}=\sqrt[4]{(3xy)^4x^2}-|y|\sqrt[4]{x^4x^2}-\sqrt[4]{2^4x^2}\\\\=3|xy|\sqrt[4]{x^2}-|xy|\sqrt[4]{x^2}-2\sqrt[4]{x^2}=\boxed{2|xy|\sqrt[4]{x^2}-2\sqrt[4]{x^2}}

Classify the following as discrete or continuous random variables.
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

A discrete variable is a variable that can only take some selected given values from a given set, like x ∈ {x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ}

While a continuous variable can take any value in the range, like x ∈ {x₁, xₙ}.

1)  The weight of bags of apples, with 10 apples in each bag.

Here the weight depends on the number of apples in the bag, and we can have only whole numbers of apples in the bag, so this is clearly a discrete variable.

2) The number of times required for a modem to dial an internet provider before connecting.

Same as before, here we can have only a whole number of attempts, so this set is discrete.

3) Out of 10 times connecting to an internet provider, the average number of attempts necessary before connecting.

Here we will have an average of 10 integer numbers:

M = \frac{x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_{10}}{10}

so here we have a kinda dense set of possible values, so we can think of this as a continuous variable.

4)  A pair of dice is rolled, and the sum to appear on the dice is recorded.

Here the possible values are whole numbers again, so we can not have values like 3.5, so again, this is a discrete variable.

8x-11+5x+2x+6=180 what is the measurement for x.
Verizon [17]

I assume you're looking for the value of x?

Combine like terms: 8x+5x+2x-11+6=180 -> 15x-5=180

Add 5 to both sides: 15x=185

Divide both sides by 15: x=12 1/3

So x is 12 1/3 or 37/3

Hope this helped!
