Step-by-step explanation:

A quadrilateral is made up of four sides. This means the sum of all the side equals 43. This is given as;

(x + 7)  + (x² - 2x ) + (x +3)  + (2x - 2) = 43

x² - 2x + 4x + 8 = 43

x²  - 2x - 35 = 0

Upon solving for x by factorization;

( x - 5) ( x + 7) = 0

The values of x are; 5 and - 7

Since the side of shape cannot have a negative value, -7 is ignored.

x = 5

The length of the sides are;

- X+7 = 5 + 7 = 12

- x² - 2x = 5² - 2(5) = 25 - 10 = 15

- X+3  = 5 + 3 = 8

2x-2 = 2(5) - 2 = 10 -2 = 8

Check:

8 + 8 + 15 + 12 = 43

A random sample of 4000 college students yielded 2250 who are in favor of banning Hawaiian shirts. Estimate the true proportion
Andreas93 [3]

Answer: (0.5496, 0.5754)

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for population proportion (p) is given by :-

\hat{p}\pm z*\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}  , where \hat{p}= Sample proportion , n= sample size , z*= Critical z-value.

Let p be the  proportion of all college students who are in favor of banning Hawaiian shirt.

Given, A random sample of 4000 college students yielded 2250 who are in favor of banning Hawaiian shirts.

i.e. n=4000

\hat{p}=\dfrac{2250}{4000}=0.5625

z-value for 90% confidence level is 1.645

Now , 90% confidence interval for p would be :

0.5625\pm (1.645)(\sqrt{\dfrac{0.5625(1-0.5625)}{4000}})

=0.5625\pm (1.645)(\sqrt{0.0000615234375})\\\\=0.5625\pm (1.645)(0.00784368774876)\\\\\approx0.5625\pm0.0129\\\\=(0.5625-0.0129, \ 0.5625+0.0129)\\\\=(0.5496,\ 0.5754)

Hence, the required 90% interval = (0.5496, 0.5754)

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!
Nata [24]

Answer:

  vertex: (2, -3.2)

  axis of symmetry: x = 2

  zeros: x=0, x=4

  formula for axis of symmetry:

  • x = <x-coordinate of vertex>
  • x = -b/(2a) . . . . . . . where the quadratic is ax^2 +bx +c
  • x = average of zeros, (z1 +z2)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The vertex x-coordinate is halfway between the zeros, so is x = (0+4)/2 = 2. It is where the graph has a turning point.

The vertex y-coordinate is the low point of this graph. It is not on a grid line, so we can only guess at its value. I choose to call it -3.2.

The vertex is (2, -3.2).

__

b) The axis of symmetry is the vertical line through the vertex. The constant in its equation is the x-coordinate of the vertex:

  x = 2

__

c) The zeros of the function are where the function crosses the x-axis. These are marked on the graph with red dots. The zeros are x=0 and x=4.

__

d) When the quadratic is written in standard form, ax^2 +bx +c, the equation of the axis of symmetry is ...

  x = -b/(2a) . . . . . perhaps this is the formula you're being asked for (?)

When there is no equation, the axis of symmetry can be found from the graph a couple of ways. One is to identify the x-coordinate of the vertex.

  x = <x-coordinate of the vertex>

Another is to average the zeros, since they are symmetrical about the axis of symmetry.

  x = average of zeros = (z1 +z2)/2

If the quadratic is written in vertex form, the vertex coordinate is the constant in the equation for the axis of symmetry.

  y = a(x -h)^2 +k . . . . . quadratic with vertex (h, k)

  x = h . . . . . . equation of axis of symmetry

Which triangle is it ?
coldgirl [10]
The answer is: The first triangle. The reasons are shown below:

 1. All the triangles are rigth triangles, because they have an angle of 90°. So, let's calculate the others angles of the first one:

 Tan(α)^-1= opposite leg/adjacent leg

 Opposite leg=5
 Adjacent leg=5√3

 Tan(α)^-1= 5/5√3
 Tan(α)^-1=30°

 2. Let's calculate the other angle:

 Tan(α)^-1= opposite leg/adjacent leg

 Now, the opposite leg will be 5√3 and the adjacent leg will be 5. Then:

 Tan(α)^-1= 5√3/5
 Tan(α)^-1=60°

 As you can see, the angles of first triangle are: 30°,60° and 90°.
