Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras theorem states that for a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of the square of the remaining sides. The hypotenuse is the longest side (that is side opposite to the 90° angle).

In right angle triangle ABD:

AB² = AD² + BD²     (1)

In right angle triangle ACD:

AC² = AD² + CD²      (2)

Also:

AC² + AB² = BC²       (3)

But BC = BD + CD

AC² + AB² = (BD + CD)²     (4)

Adding equation 1 and 2 gives:

AB² + AC² = (AD² + BD²) + (AD² + CD²)  

AB² + AC² = 2AD² + BD² + CD²

substituting AC² + AB² = (BD + CD)²:

(BD + CD)² = 2AD² + BD² + CD²

BD² + 2(BD)(CD)+ CD² = 2AD² + BD² + CD²

2AD² = 2(BD)(CD)

AD² = BD * CD

What is the third quartile, Q3, of the following distribution?
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The third quartile is:

Q_3=29

Step-by-step explanation:

First organize the data from lowest to highest

4, 5, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 21, 22, 22, 24, 26, 29, 29, 33, 34, 43, 44

Notice that we have a quantity of n = 20 data

Use the following formula to calculate the third quartile Q_3

For a set of n data organized in the form:

x_1, x_2, x_3, ..., x_n

The third quartile is  Q_3:

Q_3=x_{\frac{3}{4}(n+1)}

With n=20

Q_3=x_{\frac{3}{4}(20+1)}

Q_3=x_{15.75}

The third quartile is between x_{15}=29 and x_{16}=29

Then

Q_3 =x_{15} + 0.75*(x_{16}- x_{15})

Q_3 =29 + 0.75*(29- 29)\\\\Q_3 =29

(AP Calc) the graph of the function f shown above has three line segments....
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is

\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

Here [ a, b ] = [ - 1, 6 ] and from the graph

f(b) = f(6) = 0

f(a) = f(- 1) = 0, thus

average rate of change = \frac{0-0}{6+1} = \frac{0}{7} = 0

Dalton when to high school at 11 yrs and 3 months he left high school at 18 yrs and 2 months old how long did Dalton spend in hi
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Dalton spent 6 years and 11 months in high school.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dalton were in high school at the age = 11 years and 3 months                       He left high school at the age = 18 years and 2 months

Time spent by Dalton in high school = 18 years 2 months - 11 years and 3 months

= (18 - 11) years and (2 - 3) months

= 7 years - 1 month

= (6 + 1) years - 1 month

= 6 years + 1 year - 1 month

= 6years + 12 months - 1 month

= 6 years + 11 months

Therefore, Dalton spent 6 years and 11 months in high school.
