Two angles of a triangle have the same measure and the third one is 36 degrees greater than the measure of each of the other two

. Find the measure of the LARGEST angle in the triangle.

Answer:

Largest angle is 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest angle be x, ATQ, x+x+x+36=180, 3x+36=180, x=48

Find angle m and angle n

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

m∠M = 79°

m∠N = 66°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠MPN is supplementary to ∠MPQ, so m∠MPN = 35

The sum of the measures of a triangle is 180.

So, m∠M + m∠N + m∠MPN = 180

5y + 4 + 4y + 6 + 35 = 180

9y + 45 = 180

9y = 135

y = 15

m∠M = 5y + 4 = 5(15) + 4 = 75 + 4 = 79

m∠N = 4y + 6 = 4(15) + 6 = 66

Another way to do this problem, which is easier, is to know that an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles.

That means 5y + 4 + 4y + 6 = 145

9y + 10 = 145

9y = 135

y = 15

From knowing the value of y you can now find the measures of angles M and N

Consider the question of whether the home team wins more than half of its games in the National Basketball Association. Suppose

spayn [35]

Answer:

0.0037 = 0.37% probability that the home team would win 65% or more of its games in a simple random sample of 80 games

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

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 zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

The home team therefore wins 50% of its games

This means that $p = 0.5$

Determine the probability that the home team would win 65% or more of its games in a simple random sample of 80 games

Sample of 80 means that $n = 80$ and, by the Central Limit Theorem:

$\mu = p = 0.65$

$s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{80}} = 0.0559$

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.65. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{0.65 - 0.5}{0.0559}$

$Z = 2.68$

$Z = 2.68$ has a pvalue of 0.9963

1 - 0.9963 = 0.0037

0.0037 = 0.37% probability that the home team would win 65% or more of its games in a simple random sample of 80 games

18. During a sale, cameras were discounted 30% from their original price of $295.99. How much was each camera during the sale to

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

207.19 is the cost on sale

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is a discount of 30%, we still have to pay 100-30 = 70%

295.99 * 70%

295.99 * .70

207.193

Rounding to the nearest cent

207.19 is the cost on sale

Natali [406]

You will get the incorrect answer because lining up the digits when adding or subtracting is important but it isn’t needed for multiplying.

5. Find the general solution to y'''-y''+4y'-4y = 0

CaHeK987 [17]

For any equation,

$a_ny^(n)+\dots+a_1y'+a_0y=0$

assume solution of a form, $e^{yt}$

Which leads to,

$(e^{yt})'''-(e^{yt})''+4(e^{yt})'-4e^{yt}=0$

Simplify to,

$e^{yt}(y^3-y^2+4y-4)=0$

Then find solutions,

$\underline{y_1=1}, \underline{y_2=2i}, \underline{y_3=-2i}$

For non repeated real root y, we have a form of,

$y_1=c_1e^t$

Following up,

For two non repeated complex roots $y_2\neq y_3$ where,

$y_2=a+bi$

and,

$y_3=a-bi$

the general solution has a form of,

$y=e^{at}(c_2\cos(bt)+c_3\sin(bt))$

Or in this case,

$y=e^0(c_2\cos(2t)+c_3\sin(2t))$

Now we just refine and get,

$\boxed{y=c_1e^t+c_2\cos(2t)+c_3\sin(2t)}$

Hope this helps.
