Just by looking at it, 2 seems to be the correct answer. I mean if you think about it, when the triangle is split in two smaller triangles, side LN is longer than LP so that means x needs to be a small number. I could either be 2 or 1. Well if you look at the big picture, side LM is longer than LN so it’s gonna need to be bigger. If you say x=1 then you are saying 2(1) +4 = 6 (therefore LM is 6) but if you say x=2 then you are saying 2(2) +4 = 8 which makes more sense

If x=2 then you can use the Pythagorean’s theorem

a2 + b2 = c2
4^2 + b^2 = 5^2
16 + b^2 = 25
25-16= 9
b^2= 9
b= 3

Now that we know what NP is we can do Pythagorean’s theorem to figure out what side LP is (we already know it but you can do it again to check lol)

So the answer is 2

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

99% Confidence interval: (0.185,0.375)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 150

Number of cars that have faulty catalytic converters, x = 42

$\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{42}{150} = 0.28$

99% Confidence interval:

$\hat{p}\pm z_{stat}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

$z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.01} = \pm 2.58$

Putting the values, we get:

$0.28\pm 2.58(\sqrt{\frac{0.28(1-0.28)}{150}}) = 0.28\pm 0.095\\\\=(0.185,0.375)$

The 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of new cars with faulty catalytic converters is (0.185,0.375)

Tema [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Upon factoring all terms we are left with the product of

[(x-4)(x+6)(x-6)]/[5(x-6)(3x+5)(x-4)]

The (x-4)s and (x-6)s cancel out and we are left with

(x+6)/(5(3x+5)) which is also equal to

(x+6)/(15x+25)

Factorise fully (a+b)²-c²

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

(a + b + c)(a + b - c)

Step-by-step explanation:

(a + b)² - c² ← is a difference of squares and factors in general as

x² - y² = (x + y)(x - y)

Here x = a + b and y = c , then

(a + b)² - c²

= (a + b + c)(a + b - c)

Answer:

The dimensions of the rectangle would be a Length of 7 units and a Height of 6 units, or C. 6 units and D. 7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The <u>dimensions</u> of the rectangle are found by calculating the distance between various corner points. (We can find the distance between any two points if we know their coordinates. So in the figure (of your question):

HEIGHT - of the rectangle is the distance between A and B ( or C,D). The formula for the distance between two points, is (square root) of dx squared (distance in x-coordinates of A,B ) + dy squared (distance in y-coordinates of A,B)

AB = $\sqrt{7.2x^{2}+0.2y^{2} }$ = 7.2

WIDTH - is the distance between B and C (or A,D). The formula for the distance between two points, is (square root) of dx squared (distance in x-coordinates of B,C) + dy squared (distance in y-coordinates of B,C)

BC = $\sqrt{0.6x^{2} +6.3y^{2} }$ = 6.3

LENGTH of a DIAGONALS is the distance between opposite corners, say B and D (or A,C since the diagonals are congruent).

BD = $\sqrt{7.1x^{2} + 6.3y^{2} }$ = 9.5
