Mathematics
1 answer:
OLEGan [10]3 years ago

Answer: x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the angles combined are complementary, meaning they add up to 90 degrees.

Therefore, we can make this equation:

(x + 54) + 5x = 90

Then, combine like terms.

x + 54 + 5x = 90

6x + 54 = 90

Now, subtract the 54 from that side.

6x = 90 - 54

6x = 36

Next, divide!

\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{36}{6}

x = 6

"A shipment has 20 items. Five items will be picked randomly and checked for quality. If at least one item is defective, then th
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

1 - \frac{(20-k)(19-k)(18-k)(17-k)(16-k)}{20*19*18*17*16}

Step-by-step explanation:

If k items out of 20 total items are defective, then the number of non-defective item is 20 – k. The probability of choosing 5 items where all of them are non-defective is

- For the 1st slot the chance is (20 – k)/20

- For the 2nd slot the chance is (20-k-1)/(20-1) = (19-k)/19

- For the 3rd slot: (18 – k)/18

- 4th : (17 – k)/17

- 5th: (16 – k)/16

The probability in total would be

\frac{(20-k)(19-k)(18-k)(17-k)(16-k)}{20*19*18*17*16}

So the probability of selecting at least 1 defective item is the inverse of this, which is

1 - \frac{(20- k)(19-k)(18-k)(17-k)(16-k)}{20*19*18*17*16}

Two trains leave towns 912 kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One train travels 12
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The two trains are travelling towards each other. That means that their total distance = 912 km. Neither one has gone that distance by itself. The effect this has on the question is that you add the two rates multiplied by time.

Givens

r1 = x

r2 = x + 12

t = 3 hours

d = 912 km

Equation

d = r * t

r1 * t + r2 * t = 912

Solution

3x    + 3*(x + 12) = 912          Remove the brackets

3x +  3x + 36 = 912              Combine like terms

6x + 36 =   912                     Subtract 36 from both sides

 <u>     -36      -36</u>

6x       =      876                   Divide both sides by 6  

6x/6   =       876/6

x =               146 km/h

Answer

Slow train = 146 km/hr

Fast train = 146 + 12 = 158 km/hr

-0.113 blank =0.452x + 0.452
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

a=-4

b=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

-0.113 blank =0.452x + 0.452

-0.113(a+bx) =0.452x + 0.452

-0.113a-0.113bx  =0.452x + 0.452

so we have

-0.113a=0.452

a=-0.4520/0.113= -4

-0.113bx  =0.452x

b=-0.452/0.113= -4

Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (-5,5) and a directix of y = -1
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

From any point (x, y) on the parabola the focus and directrix are equidistant

Using the distance formula

\sqrt{(x+5)^2+(y-5)^2} = | y + 1 |

Squaring both sides

(x + 5)² + (y - 5)² = (y + 1)^2 , that is

(y + 1)² = (x + 5)² + (y - 5)² ← subtract (y - 5)² from both sides

(y + 1)² - (y - 5)² = (x + 5)² ← expand left side and simplify

y² + 2y + 1 - y² + 10y - 25 = (x + 5)²

12y - 24 = (x + 5)² ← factor left side

12(y - 2) = (x + 5)² ← divide both sides by 12

y - 2 = \frac{1}{12} (x + 5)² ← add 2 to both sides

y = \frac{1}{12} (x + 5)² + 2

or

f(x) = \frac{1}{12} (x + 5)² + 2 → D
