Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is based on Secant Secant theorem.

Secant Secant theorem gives us the following formula:

(AB + BD)AB = (AC + CE).AC

From the above question we have the following parameters

AB = 5

BD = x

AC = 7.5

CE = 4.5

Hence,

(AB + BD)AB = (AC + CE).AC

(5 + x)5 = (7.5 + 4.5)7.5

25 + 5x = 90

Collect like terms

5x = 90 - 25

5x = 65

x = 65/5

x = 13

One leg of a triangle has a measure of 24 units if the hypotenuse measures 25 units what is the lengh of the other leg

marusya05 [52]

If we assume this is a right triangle

for a right triangle
if it has legs length a and b and hyptonouse c then
a²+b²=c²

given
a leg is 24
hyptonuse =25
the other leg is b

24²+b²=25²
576+b²=625
minus 576 from both sides
b²=49
sqrt both sides
b=7

the other leg is 7 units

Which of the following is the conjugate of 10 – 3i?

ipn [44]

we know that

The conjugate of a complex number is the number with equal real part and imaginary part equal in magnitude but opposite in sign

In this problem we have

$10-3i$

the conjugate is equal to--------> $10+3i$

therefore

<u>the answer is the option</u>

10+3i

For each situation, state the null and alternative hypotheses: (Type "mu" for the symbol μ , e.g. mu > 1 for the mean is grea

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Part (A) $H_0:\mu=2.5$ and $H_a:\mu\neq2.5$

Part (B) $H_0:\mu=16.35$ and $H_a:\mu$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Null hypothesis refers the population parameter is equal to the claimed value.

If there is no statistical significance in the test then it is know as the null which is denoted by $H_0$ , otherwise it is known as alternative hypothesis denoted by $H_a$ .

Part (A): The diameter of a spindle in a small motor is supposed to be 2.5 millimeters (mm) if the spindle is either too small or too large, the motor will not work properly.

Thus, the required null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0:\mu=2.5$ and $H_a:\mu\neq2.5$

Part (B) The nationwide average price of a certain brand of laundry detergent is $16.35 and Harry thinks that prices in Caldwell are lower than the rest of the country.

Thus, the required null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0:\mu=16.35$ and $H_a:\mu$
