Answer:

The length of each blue trim is 17.2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for banner

Required

The length of each blue trim

Since all 4 triangles are equal, then the dimension of 1 triangle is:

$Side\ 1 = 10$

$Side\ 2 = 14$

The hypotenuse (x) of the triangle blue trim is represented by the blue trim

So:

$x^2 = Side\ 1^2 + Side\ 2^2$

This gives

$x^2 = 10^2 + 14^2$

$x^2 = 100 + 196$

$x^2 = 296$

Take square root

$x = \sqrt{296$

$x = 17.2in$

Romashka [77]

David's : y = 12,350 - (240x)
Amanda's : y = 12,350 + (240x)

David's equation is correct, because their spending will be multiplied by the number of months and then subtracted from their savings

6. An urn contains 15 red balls and 8 blue balls. In each draw, one ball is extracted at random. It is then returned to the urn,

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

P(C4) = 0.0711

Step-by-step explanation:

consider the first draw = 15/23 since it cannot be a blue ball

The second draw = 21/29 since 6 more red balls will be added after the draw since a blue ball cannot be drawn

the third draw = 27/35 since 6 more red balls will be added after each draw since a blue ball cannot be drawn

therefore the total number of red balls will be = 15 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 33 red balls after the 4th draw. the total ball now in the urn= 33 red + 4 blue = 41

Hence the probability of drawing a blue ball at the fourth draw after drawing red balls at the previous attempts = 8/41

P(C4) = P ( fourth ball is blue ) * P( first ball red)*P(second ball red) *P(third ball red )

= (8/41) * (15/23) * (21/29)* (27/35) = 0.0711

IM Not too sure on this. can someone please help me out?

DENIUS [597]

All it is asking is to plug the given x values into the equation (which are 0, 2, 4) and see what you get for y.
4y - 2x =16

4y - 2 (0) = 16
4y = 16
y = 4

4y - 2 (2) = 16
4y - 4 = 16
4y = 20
y = 5

4y - 2 (4) = 16
4y - 8 = 16
4y = 24
y = 6

B) Let g(x) =x/2sqrt(36-x^2)+18sin^-1(x/6)<br><br> Find g'(x) =

jolli1 [7]

I suppose you mean

$g(x) = \dfrac x{2\sqrt{36-x^2}} + 18\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac x6\right)$

Differentiate one term at a time.

Rewrite the first term as

$\dfrac x{2\sqrt{36-x^2}} = \dfrac12 x(36-x^2)^{-1/2}$

Then the product rule says

$\left(\dfrac12 x(36-x^2)^{-1/2}\right)' = \dfrac12 x' (36-x^2)^{-1/2} + \dfrac12 x \left((36-x^2)^{-1/2}\right)'$

Then with the power and chain rules,

$\left(\dfrac12 x(36-x^2)^{-1/2}\right)' = \dfrac12 (36-x^2)^{-1/2} + \dfrac12\left(-\dfrac12\right) x (36-x^2)^{-3/2}(36-x^2)' \\\\ \left(\dfrac12 x(36-x^2)^{-1/2}\right)' = \dfrac12 (36-x^2)^{-1/2} - \dfrac14 x (36-x^2)^{-3/2} (-2x) \\\\ \left(\dfrac12 x(36-x^2)^{-1/2}\right)' = \dfrac12 (36-x^2)^{-1/2} + \dfrac12 x^2 (36-x^2)^{-3/2}$

Simplify this a bit by factoring out $\frac12 (36-x^2)^{-3/2}$ :

$\left(\dfrac12 x(36-x^2)^{-1/2}\right)' = \dfrac12 (36-x^2)^{-3/2} \left((36-x^2) + x^2\right) = 18 (36-x^2)^{-3/2}$

For the second term, recall that

$\left(\sin^{-1}(x)\right)' = \dfrac1{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$

Then by the chain rule,

$\left(18\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac x6\right)\right)' = 18 \left(\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac x6\right)\right)' \\\\ \left(18\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac x6\right)\right)' = \dfrac{18\left(\frac x6\right)'}{\sqrt{1 - \left(\frac x6\right)^2}} \\\\ \left(18\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac x6\right)\right)' = \dfrac{18\left(\frac16\right)}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{x^2}{36}}} \\\\ \left(18\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac x6\right)\right)' = \dfrac{3}{\frac16\sqrt{36 - x^2}} \\\\ \left(18\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac x6\right)\right)' = \dfrac{18}{\sqrt{36 - x^2}} = 18 (36-x^2)^{-1/2}$

So we have

$g'(x) = 18 (36-x^2)^{-3/2} + 18 (36-x^2)^{-1/2}$

and we can simplify this by factoring out $18(36-x^2)^{-3/2}$ to end up with

$g'(x) = 18(36-x^2)^{-3/2} \left(1 + (36-x^2)\right) = \boxed{18 (36 - x^2)^{-3/2} (37-x^2)}$

The average score of all golfers for a particular course has a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 4. Suppose 64 golfers play

Vilka [71]

Answer:

0.0228 = 2.28% probability that the average score of the 64 golfers exceeded 76.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
