Lisa tied a piece of rope to a tree branch. She is standing 5 feet away from the base of the tree, and the branch is 12 feet off

the ground. The length of the rope from the tree branch to Lisa’s feet is r feet long.

When you draw this out, what you have is a right triangle problem. The height of the rope from the ground is 12 (a side), the distance she is from the base of the tree is 5 (a side), and the length of the rope is the hypotenuse. Use Pythagorean's Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse: 5^2+12^2 = c^2 or
25+144 = c^2 and c^2 = 169, which makes the length of the rope come out to be 13 feet long.

If f(x)=4x+2, find f(-3)

almond37 [142]

Answer:

f(x)=-10

Step-by-step explanation:

when you have f of x...any x gets the filled in by the number that is next to f

so f(x)=4x+2

f(x)=4*-3+2

f(x)=-10

sarah invests £9600 at a simple interest rate of 8% per year. Work out the value of the investment after 3 years

andre [41]

Answer:

the value of the investment after 3 years= £11,904

Step-by-step explanation:

sarah invests £9600 at a simple interest rate of 8% per year

number of years = 3

Formula for simple interest

I = P*n* r

P is the initial amount invested= 9600

r is the rate of interest = 8% = 0.08

n = number of years = 3

Now we find interest using formula

I = 9600 * 0.08 * 3= 2304

Interest amount is 2,304

Now we add the interest with the initial amount to get the value of investment after 3 years

9600 + 2304= 11904

An insurance company states that it settles 85% of all life insurance claims within 30 days. A consumer group asks the state ins

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Using the z-distribution, it is found that since the p-value of the test is less than 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis and find that there is enough evidence to conclude that the true proportion of all life insurance claims made to this company that are settled within 30 days is less than 85%.

<h3>What are the hypothesis tested?</h3>

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if there is not enough evidence that the proportion is below 85%, that is:

$H_0: p \geq 0.85$

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if there is enough evidence that the proportion is below 85%, that is:

$H_0: p < 0.85$

<h3>What is the test statistic?</h3>

The test statistic is given by:

$z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}$

In which:

$\overline{p}$ is the sample proportion.

p is the proportion tested at the null hypothesis.

n is the sample size.

For this problem, the parameters are:

$p = 0.85, n = 250, \overline{p} = \frac{203}{250} = 0.812$

Hence the test statistic is:

$z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}$

$z = \frac{0.812 - 0.85}{\sqrt{\frac{0.85(0.15)}{250}}}$

z = -1.68

<h3>What is the p-value and the conclusion</h3>

Using a z-distribution calculator, with a left-tailed test, as we are testing if the proportion is less than a value, and z = -1.68, the p-value is of 0.0465.

Since the p-value of the test is less than 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis and find that there is enough evidence to conclude that the true proportion of all life insurance claims made to this company that are settled within 30 days is less than 85%.

A retangle has a perimeter (p) of 58 inches. The length (L) is one more than 3 times the width (W)

worty [1.4K]

The rectangle has a perimeter P of 58 inches.The length l is one more than 3 times the width w.write and solve a system of linear equations to find the length and width of the rectangle?

Answer:

Length(L)=22 inches

Width(W) = 7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven:-

Perimeter (p)=58 inches,

Length(L)= one more than 3 times the width(W)

Let, W=x ---------------------------------(equation 1

$L=3x+1$ -----------------------(equation 2)

Here x is unknown and to find the Width(W) we have to find the value of x.

Now,

Perimeter of rectangle(p) = 2 times length(L) + 2 times width(W)

$p=2L+2W$

$p=2(3x+1)+2x$ ----------------(from equation 1)

$58=6x+2+2x$ ----------------(given p=58 inches)

$58=8x+2$

$8x=58-2$

$8x=56$

$x=\frac{56}{8}$

$x=7$ ----------------------(equation 3)

Now substituting the value of equation 3 in equation 2.

$L=3x+1$

$L=(3\times 7)+1$

$L=21+1$

$L=22$

$L=22 inches$

as, $W=x$ -----------------------(from equation 1)

$W=7$ inches -------------------(equation 3)

Therefore, Length(L) = 22 inches and Width(W) = 7 inches.

Circle theorem - easy work

makvit [3.9K]

Angle in a semi circle is 90°
<a = 180-90-<b = 90-28 = 62°

opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral sums up to 180°
<b + <a = 180
<b = 180-62
<b = 118°
