Answer: Approximately 11.4 units

================================================

Work Shown:

(x1,y1) is the first point (-6,-2)

(x2,y2) is the second point (5,1)

Apply the distance formula

$d = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-6-5)^2+(-2-1)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-11)^2+(-3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{121+9}\\\\d = \sqrt{130}\\\\d \approx 11.4017542509913\\\\d \approx 11.4\\\\$

The distance between the two points is roughly 11.4 units.

box with a square base and open top must have a volume of 4,000 cm3. Find the dimensions of the box (in cm) that minimize the am

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Hence the width, length is 20 cm and height is 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the box has a square base, let length = width = x. Also, let the height = y, therefore:

The volume of box = width * length * height

4000 = x * x * y

4000 = x²y

y=4000/x²

The surface area (SA) = area of the base + sum of the area of each side

SA = x² + xy + xy + xy + xy

SA = x² + 4xy

substitute y = 4000/x²

SA = x² + 4x(4000/x²)

SA = x² + 16000/x

Taking the derivative:

SA' = 2x - 16000/x²

making SA' = 0:

0 = 2x - 16000/x²

2x = 16000/x²

2x³ = 16000

x³ = 8000

x = 20 cm

y = 4000 / x² = 4000 / 20² = 10 cm

Hence the width, length is 20 cm and height is 10 cm

What happens to the width of a confidence interval for a population mean if the level of confidence is increased without changin

natulia [17]

Answer: If the level of confidence is increased without changing the sample size then The margin of error will decrease because the critical value will decrease. The decreased margin of error will cause the confidence interval to be narrower.

where;

Margin of error = Critical value × Standard deviation

Here, it can be duly noted that Margin of error has a positive relation with critical value, i.e The margin of error will decrease because the critical value will decrease.

whereas;

The confidence interval is the value ± the margin of error.

Therefore, the decreased margin of error will cause the confidence interval to be narrower.

Last year, a lighting supplier called Bright Idea shipped a total of 37,220 lamps to its distributors. This year, the supplier s

fredd [130]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Last years shipment= 37220 lamps

These years shipment= 29776 lamps

% Decrease= Initial-Final/Initial*100

% Decrease= 37220-29776/29776*100

% Decrease= 7444/29776*100

% Decrease= 0.25*100

% Decrease= 25%

Hence the decrease is 25%

Right triangle XYZ is shown. Y (2,6) (1, 2) 6 х 7 Z Rounded to the nearest hundredth of a unit, what is the length of the hypote

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

8.12

Step-by-step explanation:

We obtain the distance between x and y

d = sqrt[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

d = sqrt[(1 - 2)² + (2 - 6)²]

d = sqrt[1 + 16)

d = sqrt(17)

d² = 17

From Pythagoras rule;

Hypotenus = sqrt(Adjacent² + opposite²)

Hence,

Hypotenus = sqrt(17 + 7²)

Hypotenus = sqrt(17+ 49)

Hypotenus = sqrt(66)

Hypotenus = 8.124

Hypotenus = 8.12
