Answer:

The two people should stand 40 feet from the center so that they can hear each other whisper

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question

Width of the gallery = 100 feet

Width = 2a

a = Width/2

a = 100/2 = 50 feet

Height of the gallery = b = 30 feet

Hence, the distance is

d² = a² - b²

d = √a² - b²

d = √50² - 30²

d = √2500 - 900

d = √1600

d = 40 feet

Hence, the two people should stand 40 feet from the center so that they can hear each other whisper.

What is the value of x?<br><br> Enter your answer in the box
Natalija [7]
In similar triangles the ratio of the corresponding sides is equal.
Therefore in this case; the two triangles are similar;
 hence;
  5 in/ 15 in = 8 in / x
Where  x is the unknown side
 x= (8 × 15)/5
   = 120/5
   = 24 in
Therefore, the value of x is 24 inches

Simplify this expression<br> 5xy - x?t + 2xy + 3x?
Katarina [22]

Answer:

 x • (2xt + 7y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:   (1): "x2"   was replaced by   "x^2".  1 more similar replacement(s).

((5xy-((x2)•t))+2xy)+(3x2•t)

3.1     Pull out like factors :   2x2t + 7xy  =   x • (2xt + 7y)

x • (2xt + 7y).

Identify the vertex of the graph. Tell whether it is a minimum or a maximum.
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:The vertex in the graph is (-2,1) and It has a maximum value of 1 ,occurs at x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the vertex of a quadratic equation you gotta find the find middle point of the equation it could be lowest or his point in the quadratic equation

In this graph the vertex is the highest point in this graph (-2,1)

The quadratic equation is a maximum because the vertex is the highest point in the graph and if the vertex point was the lowest point it would been minimum.

A medical device company knows that 11% of patients experience injection-site reactions with the current needle. If 4 people rec
Orlov [11]

Answer:  0.6274

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The proportion of patients experience injection-site reactions with the current needle : p=0.11

Sample size : n= 4

Let x be a binomial random variable that represents the people get an injection-site reaction.

Binomial probability formula: P(X=x)= ^nC_x p^x(1-p)^{n-x}

The required probability : P(x=0)

=\ ^4C_0(0.11)^0(1-0.11)^4\\\\=(1)(1)(0.89)^4\\\\=0.62742241\\\approx0.6274

Hence, the  probability that none of the 4 people get an injection-site reaction =  0.6274
