Triangle abc has the angle mesausres shown. Which statement is true about the angles?
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

m∠A = 20°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the sum of the angles of any triangle is 180°, adding the expressions of each angle and setting them equal to 180° will give the value of 'x' and allow you to evaluate the angles.  

2x + 5x + 11x = 180

18x = 180

18x/18 = 180/18 or x = 10

m∠A = 2x or 2(10) = 20°

m∠B = 5x or 5(10) = 50°

m∠C = 11x or 11(10) = 110°

Out of the choices given, the only one that is true is that m∠A = 20°.

Find the x-intercepts of the parabola with
12345 [234]

Answer:

x-intercepts are (0, 0) and (-6, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

equation of a parabola in vertex form:  y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) is the vertex

Substituting the given vertex (-3, -18) into the equation:

y = a(x + 3)² - 18

If the y-intercept is (0, 0) then substitute x=0 and y=0 into the equation and solve for a:

0 = a(0 + 3)² - 18

⇒ 0 = a(3)² - 18

⇒ 0 = 9a - 18

⇒ 9a = 18

⇒ a = 2

Therefore, y = 2(x + 3)² - 18

To find the x-intercepts, set the equation to 0 and solve for x:

                                 2(x + 3)² - 18 = 0

Add 18 to both sides:     2(x + 3)² = 18

Divide both sides by 2:    (x + 3)² = 9

Square root both sides:      x + 3 = ±3

Subtract 3 from both sides:  x = ±3 - 3

so x = 3 - 3 = 0  

and  x = -3 - 3 = -6

So x-intercepts are (0, 0) and (-6, 0)

Suppose that the population​ P(t) of a country satisfies the differential equation dP/dt = kP (600 - P) with k constant. Its pop
jeka94

Answer:

The country's population for the year 2030 is 368.8 million.

Step-by-step explanation:

The differential equation is:

\frac{dP}{dt}=kP(600 - P)\\\frac{dP}{P(600 - P)} =kdt

Integrate the differential equation to determine the equation of P in terms of <em>t</em> as follows:

\int\limits {\frac{1}{P(600-P)} } \, dP =k\int\limits {1} \, dt \\(\frac{1}{600} )[(\int\limits {\frac{1}{P} } \, dP) - (\int\limits {\frac{}{600-P} } \, dP)]=k\int\limits {1} \, dt\\\ln P-\ln (600-P)=600kt+C\\\ln (\frac{P}{600-P} )=600kt+C\\\frac{P}{600-P} = Ce^{600kt}

At <em>t</em> = 0 the value of <em>P</em> is 300 million.

Determine the value of constant C as follows:

\frac{P}{600-P} = Ce^{600kt}\\\frac{300}{600-300}=Ce^{600\times0\times k}\\\frac{1}{300} =C\times1\\C=\frac{1}{300}

It is provided that the population growth rate is 1 million per year.

Then for the year 1961, the population is: P (1) = 301

Then \frac{dP}{dt}=1.

Determine <em>k</em> as follows:

\frac{dP}{dt}=kP(600 - P)\\1=k\times300(600-300)\\k=\frac{1}{90000}

For the year 2030, P (2030) = P (70).

Determine the value of P (70) as follows:

\frac{P(70)}{600-P(70)} = \frac{1}{300} e^{\frac{600\times 70}{90000}}\\\frac{P(70)}{600-P(70)} =1.595\\P(70)=957-1.595P(70)\\2.595P(70)=957\\P(70)=368.786

Thus, the country's population for the year 2030 is 368.8 million.

Suppose that telephone calls arriving at a switchboard follow a Poisson process with an average of 5 calls per minute. What is t
postnew [5]

Answer:

The correct answer is "0.0842".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

X = 5

By using the Poisson's distribution formula, we get

The probability will be:

⇒ P(x=2)=\frac{\lambda^x.e^{-\lambda}}{x!}

By substituting values, we get

                   =\frac{(5)^2\times e^{-5}}{2!}

                   =\frac{25\times e^{-5}}{2!}

                   =0.0842
