Answer:

a = -10, b = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem is, indeed, involved.  Use it to find an expression (you won't get a number!) for the height of the rectangle.

Using the right triangle, one leg has length  x  and hypotenuse length 8.  for a moment, label the height  h.  Then

x^2+h^2=8^3\\\\h^2=64-x^2\\\\h=\sqrt{64-x^2}

This expression tells the height of the rectangle, so it is the length of the two vertical sides.  The top and bottom sides each have length x.

Perimeter = 20 says that the total length of all the sides is 20.  Set that up and do a heap of algebra!

x+x+\sqrt{64-x^2}+\sqrt{64-x^2}=20\\\\2x+2\sqrt{64-x^2}=20

Divide by 2 (to simplify a bit).

x +\sqrt{64-x^2}=10

Subtract x to get the square root by itself (you'll see why in the next step).

\sqrt{64-x^2}=10-x

Square both sides of the equation.

(\sqrt{64-x^2})^2=(10-x)^2\\\\\\64-x^2=100-20x+x^2\\\\64=100-20x+2x^2\\\\0=36-20x+2x^2

Divide by 2 again (because you can)

0=18-10x+x^2

Rearrange terms to match the order in the question.

x^2-10x+18=0

The coefficient of  x  is  a = -10.  The constant is  b = 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Pythagorean theorem, one of the sides can be determined as x^2 + y^2 =8^2

or y = (8^2 - x^2)^(1/2)

we can write the perimeter P as

P = 2x + 2y ---> 20 = 2x + 2(8^2 - x^2)^(1/2)

Dividing by 2, we get

10 = x + (8^2 - x^2)^(1/2)

Move the x to the other side,

10 - x = (8^2 - x^2)^(1/2)

Take the square of both sides to get rid of the radical sign:

(10 - x)^2 = 8^2 - x^2

Move everything to the left and expand the quantity inside the parenthesis:

x^2 + (100 - 20x + x^2) - 64 = 0

2x^2 - 20x + 64 = 0

or

x^2 - 10x + 32 = 0

Now we can see that a = -10 and b = 32

Answer:

It is a function

Step-by-step explanation:

This isn't really a step by step explanation but I'm going to explain this simply. An output can have as many inputs possible but an input can only have ONE OUTPUT(just putting emphasis on this one output, I'm not yelling). Example, the input "2" can be equal to the output of "4" depending on the equation the fuction, however, the input of "2" CAN NOT be equal to the outputs of "4" and "6" because as my Algebra teacher explained it "for every input, there is exactly one output". I hope this helps and I hope I didn't lose you in my explaination.

The mean of a certain set of measurements is 27 with a standard deviation of 14. The distribution of the
Talja [164]

Answer:

Exactly 16%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The mean of a certain set of measurements is 27 with a standard deviation of 14.

This means that \mu = 27, \sigma = 14

The proportion of measurements that is less  than 13 is

This is the p-value of Z when X = 13, so:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{13 - 27}{14}

Z = -1

Z = -1 has a p-value of 0.16, and thus, the probability is: Exactly 16%.

point is B is on AC, what us the length of AB if AC=22 and BC=13? Please help me!, I'm falling in math class!! ​
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two answers to this.

1.

The order is ACB. That means that B is beyond C.

In which case AB = AC + BC

AB = 22 + 13

AB = 35

2

The order is ABC (which means that B is between A and C.

AB = AC - BC

AB = 22 - 13

AB = 9

Please don't ask me what the answer is. The question does not make it  clear enough to give you one answer. I do suggest you draw a diagram to show both possibilities. Your teacher will likely applaud you for poking holes in the question.
