Answer:

A = (-1,5) or  (-1,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

A = (-1,y)    B = (2,1)

 

(Distance from A to B) = √[(-1-2)² + (y-1)²] = 5

                                    =√[9 + y² - 2y + 1] = 5

Squaring on both sides

                                     =  y² - 2y + 10 = 25

                                       =y² - 2y -15 = 0

                                      = (y-5)(y+3) = 0

                                         y = 5 or -3

Therefore, A = (-1,5) or  (-1,-3)

Answer:

(-1, 5)

(-1, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that coordinates of point B = (2,1) this means, x2 = 2 & y2 = 1.

The x coordinate of point A = -1

D = 5 units

Let's use the equation for distance between points, it is expressed as:

D = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}

5 = \sqrt{(-1-2)^2 + (a-1)^2}

Solving further, let's square both sides,

5^2 = [\sqrt{(-1-2)^2 + (a-1)^2}]^2

25 = (-1-2)^2 + (a-1)^2

25 = 9 + (a-1)^2

Solving further, we have:

25 - 9 = (a-1)^2

16 = (a-1)^2

+/- \sqrt{16} = a-1

+/-4 = a - 1

For the possible values, we have:

a = 4+1 = 5

a = - 4 + 1 = -3

Therefore, the possible coordinates of point​ A are:

(-1, 5)

(-1, -3)

To hang lights up on his house.Garrett place is a 14 foot ladder 4 feet from the base of the house. How high up the house will t
Firlakuza [10]

This seems like a right triangle problem.

So assuming 14 feet is the hypotenuse and 4 feet is a leg of the right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem (a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}) to solve for the height of the house, in which we shall name it x.

So, the equation is 4^{2} +x^{2} =14^{2}.

Solve for x:

16+x^{2}= 196

x^{2}= 196-16

x^{2}= 180

x = 6√5 feet


Hope this helps!

A random sample of n 1 = 249 people who live in a city were selected and 87 identified as a democrat. a random sample of n 2 = 1
kvasek [131]

Answer:

CI=\{-0.2941,-0.0337\}

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming conditions are met, the formula for a confidence interval (CI) for the difference between two population proportions is \displaystyle CI=(\hat{p}_1-\hat{p}_2)\pm z^*\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}_1(1-\hat{p}_1)}{n_1}+\frac{\hat{p}_2(1-\hat{p}_2)}{n_2} where \hat{p}_1 and n_1 are the sample proportion and sample size of the first sample, and \hat{p}_2 and n_2 are the sample proportion and sample size of the second sample.

We see that \hat{p}_1=\frac{87}{249}\approx0.3494 and \hat{p}_2=\frac{58}{113}\approx0.5133. We also know that a 98% confidence level corresponds to a critical value of z^*=2.33, so we can plug these values into the formula to get our desired confidence interval:

\displaystyle CI=(\hat{p}_1-\hat{p}_2)\pm z^*\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}_1(1-\hat{p}_1)}{n_1}+\frac{\hat{p}_2(1-\hat{p}_2)}{n_2}}\\\\CI=\biggr(\frac{87}{249}-\frac{58}{113}\biggr)\pm 2.33\sqrt{\frac{\frac{87}{249}(1-\frac{87}{249})}{249}+\frac{\frac{58}{113}(1-\frac{58}{113})}{113}}\\\\CI=\{-0.2941,-0.0337\}

Hence, we are 98% confident that the true difference in the proportion of people that live in a city who identify as a democrat and the proportion of people that live in a rural area who identify as a democrat is contained within the interval {-0.2941,-0.0337}

The 98% confidence interval also suggests that it may be more likely that identified democrats in a rural area have a greater proportion than identified democrats in a city since the differences in the interval are less than 0.
