Answer:

1,737.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume the length of the bridge consists of 2 right triangles as shown in the diagram. Use pythagorean theorem to find the other missing leg of each right triangle.

Let the missing leg for each triangle be x and y respectively.

Length of bridge = x + y

✔️x = √(1115² - 860²) = √503,625

x ≈ 709.7 (nearest tenth)

✔️y = √(1340² - 860²)

y ≈ 1,027.6 (nearest tenth)

✔️ Length of bridge = 709.7 + 1,027.6 = 1,737.3 ft

f(x)= 1/x, vertically stretched by a factor of 7, reflected in the y-axis, translated 5 units to the right, and translated 3 uni

Harman [31]

Answer:

-7/(x-5) - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, to reflect an equation in the y axis, just multiply by -1. Now that it is reflected, to stretch an equation by a factor of 7, multiply it by 7. Now we have -7/x.

Then, to move an equation down by 3 units, simply subtract it by 3. Now we have -7/x - 3.

Lastly, since you want to translate it 5 units to the left, you want the equation to be undefined at x = 5 (because originally it is undefined at x = 0). To do that, set the denominator to x - 5. We arrive at our answer: -7/(x-5) - 3.

Elton is a candle maker. Each 15 cm long candle he makes burns evenly for 6 hours if Elton makes a 45 cm long candle, how long w

tatuchka [14]

The candle would burn for 18 hours.

45 / 15 = 3

If the candle is three times longer than normal, it will burn three times longer than normal.

3 x 6 = 18

For the following hypothesis test, H0: μ ≥ 150Ha: μ < 150the test statistic a. must be positive. b. must be negative. c. can

Virty [35]

Answer:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

And since we are conducting a lower unilateral lest then we expected that the value for the statistic would be negative. And the correct answer would be:

b. must be negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean

$s$ represent the standard deviation for the sample

$n$ sample size

$\mu_o =150$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean is lower than 150, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 150$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu < 150$

We don't know the population deviation, so for this case is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

And since we are conducting a lower unilateral lest then we expected that the value for the statistic would be negative. And the correct answer would be:

b. must be negative

Joaquin has $1,300 in the bank and has investments worth $4,000. He also has $7,000 worth of credit card debt. What is Joaquin's

svetlana [45]

The answer to this question would be: -$1,700

In this question, we can separate the account into positive/debit and negative/credit value. The positive/debit value should be:

Joaquin has $1,300 in the bank
He has $4,000 worth of investment
Total positive value = $1300 + $4000= $5300

The negative value should be
$7,000 worth of credit card debt
Total positive value =$7000

Then the net worth should be: $5300 - $7000= -$1700
