$(-1,-2) \: \: \: \: \: and \: \: \: \: \: (3,6) \\ Answer: A$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = 2x \\ y = {x}^{2} - 3 \\ \\ 2x = {x}^{2} - 3 \\ {x}^{2} - 2x - 3 = 0 \\ (x + 1)(x - 3) = 0 \\ x + 1 = 0 \: \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: \: \: x - 3 = 0 \\ x = - 1 \: \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: \: \: x = 3$

When x = -1

Substitute x = -1 into y = 2x

y = 2(-1)

y = -2

( -1, -2)

When x = 3

Substitute x = 3 into y = 2x

y = 2(3)

y = 6

( 3, 6)

Answer:

The number of free throws, two-point throw, and three-point throw are 135, 173, and 111 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x,y, and z are the numbers of two-point field goals, numbers of three-point field goals, and the number of free-throws (one-point goal) respectively.

The total points= 814

$\Rightarrow 2x+3y+z=814\;\cdots(i)$

As the number of two-point goals was 49 less than double the number of three-point field goals she made.

$\Rightarrow x=2y-49 \;\cdots(ii)$

Again, the number of free goals was 38 less than the number of two-point field goals she made.

$\Rightarrow z=x-38\;\cdots(iii)$

From equations (i) and (iii)

2x+3y+x-38=814

$\Rightarrow 3x+3y=852$

$\Rightarrow x+y=284$

$\Rightarrow 2y-49+y=284$ [using equation (ii)]

$\Rightarrow 3y=333$

$\Rightarrow y=111$

From equation (ii),

$x= 2\times111-38=173$

From equation (iii),

$z=173-38=135$ .

Hence,

The number of free throws, z= 135

The number of two-point throw, x=173

The number of three-point throw, y=111.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

a) The minimum sample size is 601.

b) The minimum sample size is 2401.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

For this problem, we have that:

We dont know the true proportion, so we use $\pi = 0.5$ , which is when we are are going to need the largest sample size.

95% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so $Z = 1.96$ .

a. If a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error of no more than 0.04 is desired, give a close estimate of the minimum sample size that will guarantee that the desired margin of error is achieved. (Remember to round up any result, if necessary.)

This is n for which M = 0.04. So

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.04 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}$

$0.04\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.5$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.5}{0.04}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*0.5}{0.04})^2$

$n = 600.25$

Rounding up

The minimum sample size is 601.

b. If a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error of no more than 0.02 is desired, give a close estimate of the minimum sample size necessary to achieve the desired margin of error.

Now we want n for which M = 0.02. So

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.02 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}$

$0.02\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.5$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.5}{0.02}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*0.5}{0.02})^2$

$n = 2401$

The minimum sample size is 2401.

Find the area of triangle ABC when b= 141 degrees a= 7 and c=8

Vlad [161]

You basically use the formula height*base/2 to find the area of the triangle. For instance, let's say a is your chosen base, which has a length of 7. You then use the pythagorean theorem of the right triangle (which is formed by splitting the triangle in half), which is a^2+b^2=c^2, and you substitute half your base for a and the other length (8) for c, which is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Note how this is all being done to find "b", which is the height of the triangle, which will then help you substitute all of your known values into the area formula of a triangle to answer your question. I'm not sure if b=141 degrees would have an impact on this question, but I hope this helped you in some way.
