Answer:

x = 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

If P(5,4),Q(8,10) and R(x,18) are collinear

then the slope of PQ equals the slope of QR

hence:

(10 - 4)/(8 - 5) = (18 - 10)/(x - 8)

6/3= 8/(x - 8)

2 = 8/(x - 8)

multiplying both sides by (x - 8) gives:

2(x - 8) = 8

2x - 16 = 8

2x = 8 + 16 = 24

hence x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

here,

P(5,4),Q(8,10) and R(X,18) are collinear so,

slope of PQ=slope of QR

or,(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

or,(10-4)/(8-5)=(18-10)/(X-8)

or,2=8/(X-8)

or,2(X-8)=8

or,2X=8+16

or,X=12

In angle ABC, AB = 2.5 m, BC = 3.2 m and AC = 2.9 m. Use the Cosine Law to find
Triss [41]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  ∠A ≈ 72°

Step-by-step explanation:

Fill in the given numbers and do the arithmetic.

  cos A = (2.9² +2.5² -3.2²)/(2(2.9)(2.5)) = 4.42/14.5

The inverse cosine function is used to find the angle, given its cosine.

  A = arccos(4.42/14.5)

  ∠A ≈ 72°

The mean of the data set is 40 and one standard deviation is 5. About what percent of the numbers fall between 35 and 50?
Nataly [62]

Answer:

The correct option is D. 81.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean of the data set is given to be 40

⇒ μ = 40

Standard deviation of the data set is given to be 5

⇒ σ = 5

Now we are supposed to find out what percent of the numbers fall between 35 and 50

\implies z =\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Now for P(35 < x < 50) :

Substitute x = 35 ⇒ z = -1

Substitute x = 50 ⇒ z = 2

So, P(-1 < z < 2) = P(z < 2) - P(z < -1)

⇒ P(-1 < z < 2) = 0.9772 - 0.1587

⇒ P(-1 < z < 2) = 0.8185

⇒ P(-1 < z < 2) = 81.8%

Therefore, 81.8% percent of the numbers fall between 35 and 50

Hence, The correct option is D. 81.8%
