Answer:

4.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of two similar triangles are 75 m2 and 300 m2. This gives you the scale factor of the triangles:

\dfrac{A_{small}}{A_{large}}=k^2\Rightarrow k^2 =\dfrac{75}{300}=\dfrac{3}{12}=\dfrac{1}{4}\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{1}{2}.

Then you can find the length of the corresponding side:

\dfrac{side_{small}}{side_{large}}=k\Rightarrow =\dfrac{side_{small}}{9}=\dfrac{1}{2},\ side_{small}=\dfrac{9}{2}=4.5\ m.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

324

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

g(x)=4x^2+2x\\ \\f(x)=\int\limits^x_0 {g(t)} \, dt

Find:

f(6)

First, find f(x):

f(x)\\ \\=\int\limits^x_0 {g(t)} \, dt\\ \\=\int\limits^x_0 {(4t^2+2t)} \, dt\\ \\=\left(4\cdot \dfrac{t^3}{3}+2\cdot \dfrac{t^2}{2}\right)\big|\limits^x_0\\ \\=\left(\dfrac{4t^3}{3}+t^2\right)\big|\limits^x_0\\ \\= \left(\dfrac{4x^3}{3}+x^2\right)-\left(\dfrac{4\cdot 0^3}{3}+0^2\right)\\ \\=\dfrac{4x^3}{3}+x^2

Now,

f(6)\\ \\=\dfrac{4\cdot 6^3}{3}+6^2\\ \\=288+36\\ \\=324

The capacity of an elevator is 12 people or 2088 pounds. the capacity will be exceeded if 12 people have weights with a mean gre
boyakko [2]

suppose the people have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 177 lb and a standard deviation of 26 lb.

Find the probability that if a person is randomly selected, his weight will be greater than 174 pounds?

Assume that weights of people are normally distributed with a mean of 177 lb and a standard deviation of 26 lb.

Mean = 177

standard deviation = 26

We find z-score using given mean and standard deviation

z = \frac{x-mean}{standard deviation}

= \frac{174-177}{26}

=-0.11538

Probability (z>-0.11538) = 1 - 0.4562 (use normal distribution table)

= 0.5438

P(weight will be greater than 174 lb) = 0.5438

Limit as x approaches infinity: 2x/(3x²+5)
Nonamiya [84]
\bf \lim\limits_{x\to \infty}~\cfrac{2x}{3x^2+5}\implies \cfrac{\lim\limits_{x\to \infty}~2x}{\lim\limits_{x\to \infty}~3x^2+5}

now, by traditional method, as "x" progresses towards the positive infinitity, it becomes 100, 10000, 10000000, 1000000000 and so on, and notice, the limit of the numerator becomes large.

BUT, notice the denominator, for the same values of "x", the denominator becomes larg"er" than the numerator on every iteration, ever becoming larger and larger, and yielding a fraction whose denominator is larger than the numerator.

as the denominator increases faster, since as the lingo goes, "reaches the limit faster than the numerator", the fraction becomes ever smaller an smaller ever going towards 0.

now, we could just use L'Hopital rule to check on that.

\bf \lim\limits_{x\to \infty}~\cfrac{2x}{3x^2+5}\stackrel{LH}{\implies }\lim\limits_{x\to \infty}~\cfrac{2}{6x}

notice those derivatives atop and bottom, the top is static, whilst the bottom is racing away to infinity, ever going towards 0.

Triangle XYZ is shown, where n ≥ 5. Triangle X Y Z is shown. The length of side X Y is n + 4, the length of side Y Z is 2 n, and
motikmotik

Answer:

The longest side of the triangle is YZ, the shortest side is ZX, the largest angle is ∠X and the smallest angle is ∠Y.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths of the sides of the triangle XYZ are as follows:

XY = n + 4

YZ = 2n

ZX = n - 2

According to the triangle inequality theorem, the sum of two sides of a triangle is always greater than the third side.

Then,

XY < YZ + ZX ⇒ n + 4 < 2n + n - 2 ⇒ n + 4 < 3n - 2 ⇒ 2n > 6 ⇒ n > 3

YZ < XY + ZX ⇒ 2n < n + 4 + n - 2 ⇒ 2n < 2n + 2 ⇒ 0 < 2

ZX < XY + YZ ⇒ n - 2 < n + 4 + 2n ⇒ n - 2 < 3n + 4 ⇒ 2n > -6 ⇒ n > -3

It is provided that <em>n</em> ≥ 5.

Then the sides of the triangle are:

XY = n + 4 ≥ 5 + 4 = 9

YZ = 2n ≥ 2 × 5 = 10

ZX = n - 2 ≥ 5 - 2 = 3

So, the longest side of the triangle is YZ. And the shortest side is ZX.

The largest angle of a triangle is opposite to the longest side.

The angle opposite to YZ would be X. So, the largest angle is ∠X.

The smallest angle of a triangle is opposite to the shortest side.

The angle opposite to ZX would be Y. So, the smallest angle is ∠Y.

Thus, the longest side of the triangle is YZ, the shortest side is ZX, the largest angle is ∠X and the smallest angle is ∠Y.
