which set of numbers represents the lengths of the sides of a right triangle A) { 4,5,6} b) { 11,12,13} c) {7,14,17} d) {3,4,5}

1 answer:

4 0

The answer is D. 5 is the hypotenuse. When you use the formula A squared plus B squared equals C squared, you find that 9 plus 16, equals 25; or 5 squared.

Find the approximate distance between (-5, 8) and (10, -7). Round your answer to two decimal places.

nadya68 [22]

Distance formula : d = sqrt (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2
(-5,8)(10,-7)

d = sqrt (10 - (-5)^2 + (-7 - 8)^2
d = sqrt (10 + 5)^2 + (- 15^2)
d = sqrt (15^2) + (-15^2)
d = sqrt 225 + 225
d = sqrt 450
d = 21.21

(b) The force, F, between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, d, between

LiRa [457]

Answer:

F is reduced by 31%

Step-by-step explanation:

F = 1/(d²)

now, we increase the distance by 20% (multiply by 1.2).

F new = 1/(1.2×d)² = 1/(1.44×d²) = (1/1.44) × (1/(d²)) =

= 1/1.44 × old F = 0.69 × old F

100 - 69 = 31%

Suppose medical records indicate that

Kay [80]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the random variable representing the the length of newborn babies (in inches). Since it is normally distributed and the population mean and population standard deviation are known, we would apply the formula,

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 20 inches

σ = 2.6 inches

the probability that a given infant is between 14.8 and 25.2 inches long is expressed as

P(14.8 ≤ x ≤ 25.2)

For x = 14.8,

z = (14.8 - 20)/2.6 = - 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.023

For x = 25.2

z = (25.2 - 20)/2.6 = 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.98

Therefore,

P(14.8 ≤ x ≤ 25.2) = 0.98 - 0.23 = 0.75

Mary throws her Grandma’s favorite crystal dish out the second floor window, which is 6 meters from the ground. She is really up

wlad13 [49]

we know that

acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s^2

so, we get

$a(t)=9.8$

and acceleration will always be constant

we know that

integral of acceleration is velocity

so, we can integrate both sides

$\int \:a\left(t\right)dt=\int \:9.8dt$

$v(t)=9.8t+C$

we are given

v(0)=35m/s

we can use it and find C

$v(0)=9.8*0+C$

$35=9.8*0+C$

$C=35$

now, we can plug it back

$v(t)=9.8t+35$

we know that

integral of velocity is height

we can integrate it again

$\int \:v\left(t\right)dt=\int \:\left(9.8t+35\right)dt$

$s(t)=\int \:\left(9.8t+35\right)dt$

$s(t)=4.9t^2+35t+C$

now, we have

s(0)=6

we can use it and find C

$s(0)=4.9(0)^2+35(0)+C$

$6=4.9(0)^2+35(0)+C$

now, we can plug back C

$C=6$

and we get

$s(t)=4.9t^2+35t+6$ .............Answer

If a snowball melts so that its surface area decreases at a rate of 3 cm2/min, find the rate (in cm/min) at which the diameter d

grin007 [14]

Answer:

The diameter decreases at a rate of 0.053 cm/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of an snowball

The surface area of an snowball has the following equation:

$S_{a} = \pi d^2$

In which d is the diameter.

Implicit differentiation:

To solve this question, we differentiate the equation for the surface area implictly, in function of t. So

$\frac{dS_{a}}{dt} = 2d\pi\frac{dd}{dt}$

Surface area decreases at a rate of 3 cm2/min

This means that $\frac{dS_{a}}{dt} = -3$

Tind the rate (in cm/min) at which the diameter decreases when the diameter is 9 cm.

This is $\frac{dd}{dt}$ when $d = 9$ . So

$\frac{dS_{a}}{dt} = 2d\pi\frac{dd}{dt}$

$-3 = 2*9\pi\frac{dd}{dt}$

$\frac{dd}{dt} = -\frac{3}{18\pi}$

$\frac{dd}{dt} = -0.053$

The diameter decreases at a rate of 0.053 cm/min.
