Answer:

x =6.0

The base is 6x = 35.8

The side is 3x = 17.9

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(6x)^2 +(3x)^2 = 40^2

36x^2 + 9x^2 = 1600

Combine like terms

45x^2 = 1600

Divide each side by 45

45x^2 /45 =1600/45

x^2 =35.555555555

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(35.555555555)

x =5.96284794 = 6.0

The base is 6x = 6*5.9628479 =35.77708 = 35.8

The side is 3x = 3*5.9628479 =17.88854382= 17.9

Answer:

x = 6.0

3x = 17.9

6x = 35.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Using pythagoras theorem

40² = (3x)² + (6x)²

1600 = 9x² + 36x²

1600 = 45x²

x² = 320/9

x = 5.96284794

3x = 17.88854382

6x = 35.77708764

Caroline is making some table decorations.

eduard

Answer:

there are 8 candles

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) In order to obtain an equal amount of candle to candle holders Caroline has to buy enough packs to obtain a 1:1 ratio.

Therefore to obtain a 1:1 ratio:

=30 candles/18 candle holders * (18/30)

Therefore she needs to buy 18 packs of candles and 30 packs of candle holders to have exactly the same number of candles and holders

(ii) Caroline can make = 30*18 = 540 table decorations

Jamal has $35 to spend at the mall. If pairs of shorts are $9.99, how many can he buy?

Mrac [35]

$35 / $9.99 = 3.5 pairs of shorts

We have to round down because you cannot buy half a pair of shorts

The correct answer is 3 pairs of shorts.

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

x = - 2, x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 4x² - 20x - 56

To find the zeros let f(x) = 0, that is

4x² - 20x - 56 = 0 ( divide through by 4 )

x² - 5x - 14 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 7)(x + 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

What is required of a proportional relationship that is not required of a general linear relationship?

Lana71 [14]

The proportional relationship should require they y-intercept and is then 0 and the linear relationship should be in a straight line to be a linear! Hope this helps!

o-na [289]

Answer:

a) $n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}=2401$

And rounded up we have that n=2401

b) $n=\frac{0.07(1-0.07)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}=625.22$

And rounded up we have that n=626

And we see that if we have previous info about p the sample size varies a lot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Solution to the problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96$

Part a

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that $ME =\pm 0.02$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

Since we don't have prior information about the population proportion we can use ase estimator $\hat p =0.5$ . And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}=2401$

And rounded up we have that n=2401

Part b

For thi case the estimator for p is $\hat p =0.07$

$n=\frac{0.07(1-0.07)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}=625.22$

And rounded up we have that n=626

And we see that if we have previous info about p the sample size varies a lot.
