Answer:
About 32º
Step-by-step explanation:
since 17 m is one leg, and 20m is the hypotenuse, we can write:
cos (x) = 17/20
x = cos-1(17/20)
x is about 32º
Let us model this problem with a polynomial function.
Let x = day number (1,2,3,4, ...)
Let y = number of creatures colled on day x.
Because we have 5 data points, we shall use a 4th order polynomial of the form
y = a₁x⁴ + a₂x³ + a₃x² + a₄x + a₅
Substitute x=1,2, ..., 5 into y(x) to obtain the matrix equation
| 1 1 1 1 1 | | a₁ | | 42 |
| 2⁴ 2³ 2² 2¹ 2⁰ | | a₂ | | 26 |
| 3⁴ 3³ 3² 3¹ 3⁰ | | a₃ | = | 61 |
| 4⁴ 4³ 4² 4¹ 4⁰ | | a₄ | | 65 |
| 5⁴ 5³ 5² 5¹ 5⁰ | | a₅ | | 56 |
When this matrix equation is solved in the calculator, we obtain
a₁ = 4.1667
a₂ = -55.3333
a₃ = 253.3333
a₄ = -451.1667
a₅ = 291.0000
Test the solution.
y(1) = 42
y(2) = 26
y(3) = 61
y(4) = 65
y(5) = 56
The average for 5 days is (42+26+61+65+56)/5 = 50.
If Kathy collected 53 creatures instead of 56 on day 5, the average becomes
(42+26+61+65+53)/5 = 49.4.
Now predict values for days 5,7,8.
y(6) = 152
y(7) = 571
y(8) = 1631
Answer:
(4) /-12/__<_/12/
Step-by-step explanation:
assuming you owe me #12 and you have no money with you at ur side is -12 but if u have #12 abd you didn't owe anybody any amount so the #12 is for you
Answer:
B. DE = 58
Step-by-step explanation:
The base angles (<F and <E) of the ∆DEF are congruent/equal. This means that ∆DEF is an isosceles triangle.
This implies that, the two sides (DF and DE) that are opposite to the base angles are congruent/equal.
DE = 40 (given) => option B is INCORRECT
Therefore:
8x - 24 = 40
Solve for x
8x - 24 + 24 = 40 + 24
8x = 64
8x/8 = 64/8
x = 8 (option C is CORRECT)
Let's find DF and FE:
DF = 8x - 24
Plug in the value of x
DF = 8(8) - 24
DF = 64 - 24
DF = 40 (Option D is CORRECT)
FE = 6x + 10
FE = 6(8) + 10
FE = 48 + 10
FE = 58 (Option A is CORRECT)
The only incorrect statement is:
B. DE = 58
