Answer:

  x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Extend line AB so that it intersects ray CE at point G. Then angles BGC and BAD are "alternate interior angles", hence congruent.

The angle at B is exterior to triangle BCG, and is equal to the sum of the interior angles at C and G:

  138 = (376 -23x) +(x^2 -8x)

Subtracting 138 and collecting terms we have ...

  x^2 -31x +238 = 0

For your calculator, a=1, b=-31, c=238.

<em>Additional comment</em>

You will find that the solutions to this are x = {14, 17}. You will also find that angle BCE will have corresponding values of 54° and -15°. That is, the solution x=17 is "extraneous." It is a solution to the equation, but not to the problem.

For x=14, the marked angles are A = 84°, C = 54°.

Answer:

For the 99th percentile, we have X = 206 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 138.5, \sigma = 29

99th percentile:

Value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.99. So we use Z = 2.325

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

2.325 = \frac{X - 138.5}{29}

X - 138.5 = 29*2.325

X = 205.92 = 206

For the 99th percentile, we have X = 206 seconds.

There are nine water bottles in a fridge. Three full boxes are added. Two more boxes are added, both of which have one fewer bot
Degger [83]

The number of bottles in a full box is 12.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Suppose, the number of bottles in a full box is  x

So, the number of bottles in <u>three</u> full boxes =3x

Now, two more boxes are added, both of which have <u>one fewer bottle than the other three</u>. So, the number of bottles in these two boxes = 2(x-1)

As there were 9 bottles initially and now there are 67 bottles in the fridge, <em><u>so the equation will be</u></em>....

9+3x+2(x-1)=67\\ \\ 9+3x+2x-2=67\\ \\ 5x+7=67\\ \\ 5x=67-7\\ \\ 5x=60\\ \\ x=\frac{60}{5}=12

Thus, the number of bottles in a full box is 12.

URGENT Match each ratio of the volumes of two solids to the pair of solids it represents.
Anarel [89]
1. cylinder to cone:
  (πr^2h)/((1/3)πr^2h) = 3:1

2. sphere to cylinder:
  ((4/3)πr^3)/(πr^2h) = 4r:3h

3. cone to sphere:
  ((1/3)πr^2h)/((4/3)πr^3) = h:4r

4. hemisphere to cylinder:
  half the ratio of sphere to cylinder = 2r:3h

Which ordered pairs are solutions to the inequality 2x+y&gt;−4?
hichkok12 [17]

we will proceed to resolve each case to determine the solution

we have

2x+y>-4

y>-2x-4

we know that

If an ordered pair is the solution of the inequality, then it must satisfy the inequality.

<u>case a)</u> (5,-12)

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

-12>-2*5-4

-12>-14 ------> is True

therefore

the ordered pair (5,-12) is a solution of the inequality

<u>case b)</u> (-3,0)

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

0>-2*-3-4

0>2 ------> is False

therefore

the ordered pair (-3,0) is not a solution of the inequality

<u>case c)</u> (-1,-1)

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

-1>-2*-1-4

-1>-2 ------> is True

therefore

the ordered pair(-1,-1) is a solution of the inequality

<u>case d)</u> (0,1)

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

1>-2*0-4

1>-4 ------> is True

therefore

the ordered pair (0,1) is a solution of the inequality

<u>case e)</u> (4,-12)

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

-12>-2*4-4

-12>-12 ------> is False

therefore

the ordered pair (4,-12) is not a solution of the inequality

<u>Verify</u>

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

the solution is the shaded  area above the line

The points A,C, and D lies on the shaded area, therefore the ordered pairs A,C, and D are solution of the inequality
