Jane: Think: the hypotenuse of her ramp is 14 inches and the angle opposite the rise is 30 degrees. Thus, cos 30 deg = (adj side) / (hyp) = (adj side) / (14 in).
Solving for (adj side), we get (adj side) = (14 in)(sqrt(3)/2) = 7 sqrt(3) inches.
A) I would make the positive integer x and then form an equation.
x + 30 = x^2 - 12
x + 42 = x^2
0 = x^2 - x - 42 this can be factorised
(x - 7) ( x + 6) Therefore x = 7 or x = -6
Since the question asks for a positive integer the answer is 7.
B) two positive numbers x and y.
X - y = 3
x^2 + y^2 = 117
Use these simultaneous equations to figure out each number.
Rearrange the first equation
x = y + 3
Then substitute it into the second equation.
(y+3)^2 + y^2 = 117
y^2 + 6y + 9 + y^2 = 117
2y^2 + 6y - 108 = 0
then factorise this.
(2y - 12) (y + 9)
This means that y = 6 or y = -9 but it’s 6 because that’s the only positive number.
Use y to find x
x = y + 3
x = 6 + 3
x = 9
So the answers are x = 9 and y = 6.
Answer:
100
Step-by-step explanation:
20 times 100 equals 2000
The greatest measurement error s 1/10 of an inch, which is 10% of an inch.
Therefore the greatest measurement error is 1/10 or 10%.
Answer: 0.1 or 10% per inch.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A parameter describes a population, and a statistic describes a sample.
The first one is a statistic. A sample was surveyed.
The second one is a parameter. It describes the entire soccer team.
The third one is a statistic. A sample was surveyed.
The fourth one is a parameter. It describes the entire golf team.
