Which numbers are the extremes of the proportion shown below

Mathematics
1 answer:
Svetllana [295]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

3 and 8 are the extremes of the given proportion (first listed answer option)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a proportion of the type:

\frac{A}{B} =\frac{C}{D}

the values "A" and "D" are called "extremes of the proportion, while "B" and "C" are called the "means" of the proportion.

This comes from writing it as:   A : B = C : D

where we observe that A and D are the more "extreme" values being further away from the equal sign than the quantities B and C which are more towards the middle (center of the proportion).

So in your case, the numbers 3 and 8 are the extremes

How do i solve y= -5 in lines in the xy plane ? im confused .
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a horizontal line is equal to the y-coordinate of the point that passes through it  

In this problem we have

y=-5

This is a horizontal line (parallel to the x-axis)

The slope of this line is equal to zero

so

All points that pass through the line will have the same y-coordinate equal to -5

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

!50 point question! Find x and explain how you found it!
STatiana [176]

<u>Answer:</u>

\sf x = 60^{\circ \:}

<u>given:</u>

  • adjacent side:  10
  • hypotenuse side: 20

<u>using cosine rule:</u>

\hookrightarrow \sf cos(x) = \dfrac{adjacent}{hypotense}

\hookrightarrow \sf \sf cos(x) = \dfrac{10}{20}

\hookrightarrow \sf \sf x = cos^{-1}(\dfrac{10}{20} )

\hookrightarrow \sf \sf x = 60^{\circ \:}

Find the average rate of change for the given function from x = 1 to x = 2
mestny [16]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Average Rate of Change: \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

Step 1: Define variables

f(b) = 5

f(a) = 3

b = 2

a = 1

Step 2: Plug into formula

(5 - 3)/(2 - 1)

2/1

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the true mean length of the shafts is ($3402.08, $4142.75).

Step-by-step explanation:

A (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for true mean (<em>μ</em>), when the population standard deviation is known is:

CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

If the population standard deviation is not known, then the confidence interval for true mean is:

CI=\bar x\pm t_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

A 95% confidence interval for true mean is an interval estimate of the population mean. The interval has 0.95 probability of consisting the true value of the population mean.

It is provided that the 95% confidence interval for mean, based on a sample of size 30 is ($3402.08, $4142.75).

This interval implies that the true mean value is between $3402.08 and $4142.75 with 95% confidence.

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the true mean length of the shafts is ($3402.08, $4142.75).
