Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

                          Statements                                 Reasons

1). CD is an altitude of ΔABC                1). Given

2). ΔACD and ΔBCD are right              2). Definition of right triangles.

    triangles.

3). a² = (c - x)² + h²                                 3). Pythagoras theorem

4). a² = c² + x² - 2cx + h²                       4). Square the binomial.

5). b² = x² + h²                                       5). Pythagoras theorem.

6). cos(x) = \frac{x}{a}                                           6). definition of cosine ratio for an angle

7). bcos(A) = x                                        7). Multiplication property of equality.

8). a² = c² - 2c(bcosA) + b²                    8). Substitution property

9). a² = b² + c² - 2bc(cosA)                    9). Commutative properties of

Can someone please help me with question 7?
storchak [24]

The goal is to raise AT LEAST $180, so this automatically indicates that the amount of keychains sold with the price must be the same or more than $180.

k = number of keychains

each keychain is $2.25

2.25k ≥ 180

divide both sides by 2.25 to get the k alone

k ≥ 80

The answer is 2.25k ≥ 180, k ≥ 80

(Hope this isn't confusing)

Suppose the number of children in a household has a binomial distribution with parameters n-8 and p-50%. Find the probability of
Goshia [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the number of children in a household has a binomial distribution with parameters n-8 and p-50%

As per binomial definition we have

P(X=r) = nCr p^r q^{n-r}

=8Cr (0.5)^r (0.5)^{n-r} \\=8Cr(0.5)^8

a) P(x=3 or 7) = P(3)+P(7) = 0.2188+0.0313=0.2501

b) P(X≤5)=0.8555

c) P(X≥3)=0.8555

d) P(x<7) =0.9648
