Answer: 1. x= 20 units,   2. x= 5\sqrt{3} units    3. x= 4\sqrt{2} units.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle,

Hypotenuse^2= Perpendicular^2+Base^2  (Pythagoras theorem)

1. Hypotenuse = x , Base = 16, Perpendicular = 12

\Rightarrow\ x^2 =12^2+16^2\\\\ \Rightarrow\ x^2=144+256\\\\ \Rightarrow\ x^2=400\\\\ \Rightarrow\ x=\sqrt{400}=20

2. Hypotenuse = 14 , Base = 11, Perpendicular = x

\Rightarrow\ 14^2=x^2+11^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ 196=x^2+121\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2=196-121\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2 = 75\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\sqrt{75}=\sqrt{25\times3}=5\sqrt{3}

3.  Hypotenuse = 9 , Base = x, Perpendicular =7

\Rightarrow\ 9^2=x^2+7^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ 81= x^2+49\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2=81-49\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2=32\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\sqrt{32}=\sqrt{16\times2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=4\sqrt{2}

What is the length of the segment connecting the points A(1,3) and B(6,5)?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>\sqrt{29}  \:  \:  \: or \:  \:  \:5.38 \:  \:  \: units</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the segment connecting two points can be found by using the formula

d =  \sqrt{ ({x1 - x2})^{2} +  ({y1 - y2})^{2}  }  \\

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

A(1,3) and B(6,5)

The length is

|AB|  =  \sqrt{ ({1 - 6})^{2} +  ({3 - 5})^{2}  }  \\  =  \sqrt{ ({ - 5})^{2}  + ( { - 2})^{2} }  \\  =  \sqrt{25 + 4}  \\  =  \sqrt{29}

We have the final answer as

\sqrt{29}  \:  \:  \: or \:  \:  \:5.38 \:  \:  \: units

Hope this helps you

United Flight 15 from New York's JFK airport to San Francisco uses a Boeing 757-200 with 182 seats. Because some people with res
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

There is a 29.27% probability that the flight is overbooked. This is not an unusually low probability. So it does seem too high so that changes must be made to make it lower.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each passenger, there are only two outcomes possible. Either they show up for the flight, or they do not show up. This means that we can solve this problem using binomial distribution probability concepts.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And \pi is the probability of X happening.

A probability is said to be unusually low if it is lower than 5%.

For this problem, we have that:

There are 200 reservations, so n = 200.

A passenger consists in a passenger not showing up. There is a .0995 probability that a passenger with a reservation will not show up for the flight. So \pi = 0.0995.

Find the probability that when 200 reservations are accepted for United Flight 15, there are more passengers showing up than there are seats available.

X is the number of passengers that do not show up. It needs to be at least 18 for the flight not being overbooked. So we want to find P(X < 18), with \pi = 0.0995, n = 200. We can use a binomial probability calculator, and we find that:

P(X < 18) = 0.2927.

There is a 29.27% probability that the flight is overbooked. This is not an unusually low probability. So it does seem too high so that changes must be made to make it lower.

The expression (y-20)(y5)3 is equivalent to ya. What is the value of a?
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

y¹⁵-20y¹⁴

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to assume that your problem looks like this

(y-20)(y^5)^3

(x^n)^y=x^{n*y}

which means we have

(y-20)*y^{15}\\\\y^{16}-20y^{15}=ya\\\\*y^{15}-20y^{14}=a

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>53 seconds.</u>

Explanation:

The text and the model are garbled.

This is the question amended:

<em />

<em>Hyun Woo is riding a ferris wheel. H(t) models his height (in m) above the ground, t seconds after the ride starts. Here, t is entered in radians.</em>

<em>H(t) = -10 cos(2π/150 t)+10</em>

<em />

<em>When does Hyun Woo first reach a height of 16 m?</em>

<em />

<h2>Solution</h2>

<em />

When <em>Hyun Woo reaches a height of 16 m</em> the <em>model </em>states:

  • <em>16 = -10 cos(2π/150 t)+10</em>

<em />

Then you must find the lowest positive value of t that is a solution of the equation.

Solve the equation:

  • <em>16 = -10 cos(2π/150 t)+10</em>

  • 10cos(2π/150 t) = - 6

  • cos(2π/150t) = -0.6

  • 2π/150t = arccos(-0.6)

  • 2π/150t = 2.214297

  • t = 52.86s ≈ 53 s ← answer
