Answer:

  x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Either or both of the right triangles can be used to find x. Or, triangle ABC could be used. All numbers are assumed to be degrees.

<u>Using ∆ABD</u>

  55 +90 +2x+3 = 180

  2x = 32 . . . . . . subtract 148

  x = 16

<u>Using ∆BCD</u>

  50 +90 +2x+8 = 180

  2x = 32 . . . . . . subtract 148

  x = 16

<u>Using ∆ABC</u>

  55 +(2x +3) +50 +(2x +8) = 180

  4x = 64 . . . . . . . subtract 116

  x = 16

Naddika [18.5K]

Sampling bias occurs when some members of a population are systematically more likely to be selected in a sample than others. From this definition,

For sample 1, Every fifth person who enters Little Casesars Arena for a Red Wings game. This is not biased because no person is more likely to be selected than another

For sample 2, Every tenth name in the phone. This is also not biased

because no person is more likely to be selected than another

P is the point on the line 2x+y-10=0 such that the length of OP, the line segment from the origin O to P, is a minimum. Find the
nirvana33 [79]
The minimum distance is the perpendicular distance. So establish the distance from the origin to the line using the distance formula.
The distance here is: <span><span>d2</span>=(x−0<span>)^2</span>+(y−0<span>)^2
</span>                                      =<span>x^2</span>+<span>y^2
</span></span>
To minimize this function d^2 subject to the constraint, <span>2x+y−10=0
</span>If we substitute, the y-values the distance function can take will be related to the x-values by the line:<span>y=10−2x 
</span>You can substitute this in for y in the distance function and take the derivative:
<span>d=sqrt [<span><span><span>x2</span>+(10−2x<span>)^2]
</span></span></span></span>
d′=1/2 (5x2−40x+100)^(−1/2)   (10x−40)<span>
</span>Setting the derivative to zero to find optimal x,
<span><span>d′</span>=0→10x−40=0→x=4
</span>
This will be the x-value on the line such that the distance between the origin and line will be EITHER a maximum or minimum (technically, it should be checked afterward).
For x = 4, the corresponding y-value is found from the equation of the line (since we need the corresponding y-value on the line for this x-value).
 
Then y = 10 - 2(4) = 2.
 So the point, P, is (4,2).

shutvik [7]

Answer:

22 feet per second

Step-by-step explanation

15x5280=79,200

79,200/60=1320 feet per minute since 60 minutes per hour

1320/60=22 feet per second since 60 seconds per minute
