9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle bisector divides the segments proportionally. This means they satisfy ...

  bottom segment / side segment = x/6 = (6-x)/4

Multiplying by 12 gives ...

  2x = 3(6 -x)

  2x = 18 -3x . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  5x = 18 . . . . . . . . add 3x

  x = 3.6 . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

I like to try to work these mentally. The total of side lengths is 10, so the total base length (6) is 6/10 = 0.6 times that. Then x will be 0.6 times the left side length: 0.6·6 = 3.6 = x.

What is the equation of a line that has a slope of 2 and passes through the point (4,6) ?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

y-6=2\,(x-4)

or in slope y-intercept form :

y=2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way of find the answer for this is to use what is called the "point-slope" form of a line, because you are in fact given the value of the slope (m) and also a point   (x_0,y_0)  it goes through:

y-y_0=m\,(x-x_0)

In our case the equation becomes:

y-y_0=m\,(x-x_0)\\y-6=2\,(x-4)\\

This can also be written in the slope-intercept form by solving for "y" and operating to remove the parenthesis:

y-6=2\,(x-4)\\y=2x-8+6\\y=2x-2

A simple random sample of 100 batteries is selected from a process that produces batteries with a mean lifetime of 32 hours and
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

.b. It is one‐half as large as when n = 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  simple random sample of 100 batteries is selected from a process that produces batteries with a mean lifetime of 32 hours and a standard deviation of 3 hours.

i.e. s = 0.3

we obtain se of sample by dividing std devitation by the square root of sample size

i.e. s= \frac{3}{\sqrt{n} }

when n =100 this = 0.3 and

when n =400 this equals 0.15

We find that when sample size is four times as large as original, std deviation becomes 1/2 of the original

Correction option is

.b. It is one‐half as large as when n = 100.
