This is asking for the surface area of a rectangular prism.

Use the surface area formula for a prism:
2(Area of Base)+ (height)( perimeter of base)

you should get 592 in squared.

Write the function in vertex form. y=-x^2-8x-9
xeze [42]

Answer:

y = -(x+4)² +7

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it convenient to factor the leading minus sign from the first two terms, then work with what's left.

... y = -(x² +8x) -9

Now, add the square of half the x-coefficient inside parentheses. Add the opposite of that amount outside parentheses.

... y = -(x² +8x +4²) -9 +4²

... y = -(x +4)² +7 . . . . . . . . . rewrite parentheses as a square; collect terms

When the sample size and sample standard deviation remain the same, a 99% confidence interval for a population mean, µ will be n
motikmotik
A 99% confidence interval will be wider compared to a 95% confidence interval. This is because while you don't know what the true value of mu is, you are more confident that the parameter is in the interval.

In essence, you are casting a wider net which leads to the higher level of confidence. Imagine if there was a 100 mile stretch of straight land, and somewhere on this line was a special rock that you are looking for. You would be 100% confident if you said "the rock is somewhere on that piece of land", and less confident the more you shrunk the interval.

The vertices of a parallelogram are A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2), C(x3, y3), and D(x4, y4). Which of the following must be true if paral
Iteru [2.4K]

The answer is really none of the above, because all of these have divisions by difference in x, and there are perfectly fine rectangles where those will mean dividing by zero.

To do the problem the way they want us to, we note segments with the same slope are parallel (or collinear); segments with slopes which multiply to -1 are perpendicular.

Let's figure out what each choice is trying to tell us by translating it into parallel and perpendicular. Remember A is point 1, ...

A. ((y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)= (y_3-y_2)/(x_3-x_2)) and ((y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)×(y_3-y_2)/(x_3-x_2))=-1

translated, that's CD║BC and CD⊥BC - contradictory; second half right

B. (y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)= (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) and ((y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)×(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1))=-1

CD ║ AB and CD ⊥ AB - only the parallelogram half is right

C. (y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)= (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) and (y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)×(y_3-y_2)/(x_3-x_2)=-1

CD║AB and CD⊥BC - that's TRUE

D. (y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)= (y_3-y_1)/(x_3-x_1) and (y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)×(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=-1

CD║AC and CD⊥AB - nope

Answer: C

The way I'd get the proper expression is with the dot product.

A parallelogram is a rectangle when adjacent sides are perpendicular. It only takes one right angle to make them all right.

Two sides are perpendicular when the dot product of their direction vectors is zero. All the answers have y_4 - y_3 so one side is CD. The other side must be BC or AD; AD would give y_4 - y_1 terms which don't appear among the answer, so let's go with BC.

The direction vectors are

D-C = (x_4 - x_3, y_4 - y_3)

C-B = (x_3 - x_2, y_3 - y_2)

For perpendicularity we need a zero dot product:

0 = (D-C)\cdot(C-B) = (x_4 - x_3)(x_3 - x_2) + (y_4 - y_3)(y_3 - y_2)

- (x_4 - x_3)(x_3 - x_2) = (y_4 - y_3)(y_3 - y_2)

That's the correct expression, given it's a parallelogram, to demonstrate it's a rectangle. The divisions make it iffy.
