Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the polygons are similar, the ratios of their respective sides are equal.

32/24=(x-1)/6

x-1=8

x=9

Lee wants to gain 10lbs of lean muscle mass. His dietitian suggested the consume 2400 kcal each day and that 25% of his cal come

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

a) He needs to consume 600 kcal from protein.

b) 22 kcal come from fat.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Lee needs to consume 2400 kcal each day and 25% of this income should come from protein.

We are going to use percentages to solve this problem, to find out how many kcal from protein he should consume we need to multiply 2400 by .25.

2400 (.25) = 600

Lee needs to consume 600 kcal from protein.

b) A cup of chili contains 220 kcal If 15% of kcal come from fat how many kcal come from fat?

We are going to solve this in a similar way.

We should multiply the total amount of kcal by .15 which is the amount of fat calories.

220 (.15) = 33

33 kcal come from fat.

Heights of men have a bell-shaped distribution, with a mean of 176 cm and a standard deviation of 7 cm. Using the Empirical Rule

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

a) 68% of the men fall between 169 cm and 183 cm of height.

b) 95% of the men will fall between 162 cm and 190 cm.

c) It is unusual for a man to be more than 197 cm tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 68-95-99.5 empirical rule can be used to solve this problem.

This values correspond to the percentage of data that falls within in a band around the mean with two, four and six standard deviations of width.

a) What is the approximate percentage of men between 169 and 183 cm?

To calculate this in an empirical way, we compare the values of this interval with the mean and the standard deviation and can be seen that this interval is one-standard deviation around the mean:

$\mu-\sigma=176-7=169\\\mu+\sigma=176+7=183$

Empirically, for bell-shaped distributions and approximately normal, it can be said that 68% of the men fall between 169 cm and 183 cm of height.

b) Between which 2 heights would 95% of men fall?

This corresponds to ±2 standard deviations off the mean.

$\mu-2\sigma=176-2*7=162\\\\\mu+2\sigma=176+2*7=190$

95% of the men will fall between 162 cm and 190 cm.

c) Is it unusual for a man to be more than 197 cm tall?

The number of standard deviations of distance from the mean is

$n=(197-176)/7=3$

The percentage that lies outside 3 sigmas is 0.5%, so only 0.25% is expected to be 197 cm.

It can be said that is unusual for a man to be more than 197 cm tall.

HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The correct option is A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since (1, 3) are the solutions to the function g(x), then

g(x) = (x – 1)(x – 3) = x² –3x – x + 3 = x² – 4x + 3

We know that f(x) is on the same plane and f(1) = 1.

Let's take g(1) = (1 – 1)(1 – 3) = 0

Therefore, when x = 1; f = 1 and g = 0. Hence

g(1) = f(1) – 1

In order words, g(x) could be f(x) – 1.

The correct option is A

In simplest radical form, what are the solutions to the quadratic equation 6 = x2 – 10x?

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

quadratic equation: ax² + bx + c =0

x' = [-b+√(b²-4ac)]/2a and x" = [-b-√(b²-4ac)]/2a

6 = x² – 10x ; x² - 10x -6 =0

(a=1, b= - 10 and c = - 6

x' = [10+√(10²+4(1)(-6)]/2(1) and x" = [10-√(10²+4(1)(-6)]/2(1)

x' =5+√31 and x' = 5-√31
