What is the value of x and the length of segment DE?

Answer:

Part 1) x=6.6\ units

Part 2) DE=16.2\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the value of x

we know that

Triangles CDF and FDE are similar

therefore

The ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

so

CD/FD=FD/DE

\frac{5}{9}=\frac{9}{2x+3} \\ \\5*(2x+3)=9*9\\ \\10x+15=81\\ \\10x= 81-15\\ \\10x=66\\ \\ x=6.6\ units

Part 2) Find the length of DE

DE=2x+3

substitute the value of x

DE=2(6.6)+3=16.2\ units

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

\omega = 8\,\frac{rad}{s}

Step-by-step explanation:

The translation speed of the wheel is:

v=\frac{20\,m}{5\,s}

v=4\,\frac{m}{s}

The angular speed of the wheel is:

\omega = \frac{4\,\frac{m}{s} }{0.5\,m}

\omega = 8\,\frac{rad}{s}

A laptop producing company also produces laptop batteries, and claims that the batteries
gregori [183]

Answer:

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the batteries power the laptops for significantly less than 4 hours. (P-value = 0).

The null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=4\\\\H_a:\mu< 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete: To test this claim a sample or population standard deviation is needed.</em>

<em>We will estimate that the sample standard deviation is 2 hours, and use a t-test to test that claim.</em>

<em> NOTE (after solving): The difference between the sample mean and the mean of the null hypothesis is big enough to reject the null hypothesis, even when we have a sample standard deviation of 3.5 hours, which can be considered bigger than the maximum standard deviation for the sample.</em>

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that the batteries power the laptops for significantly less than 4 hours.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=4\\\\H_a:\mu< 4

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=500.

The sample mean is M=3.5.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=2.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{500}}=0.0894

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{3.5-4}{0.0894}=\dfrac{-0.5}{0.0894}=-5.5902

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=500-1=499

This test is a left-tailed test, with 499 degrees of freedom and t=-5.5902, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

P-value=P(t

As the P-value (0) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is  significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the batteries power the laptops for significantly less than 4 hours.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

x=30

<h3>Solution:</h3>
  • First, use the distributive property:
  • 8x-3(2x-4)=3(x-6)
  • 8x-6x+12=3x-18
  • Simplify:
  • 2x+12=3x-18
  • 2x-3x=-12-18
  • -x=-30
  • x=30

Hope it helps.
