*5. Gina's sister is 9 years older than Gina. Their combined ages add up to

Mathematics

Stells [14]3 years ago

Answer: B. 20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

we will represent Gina sister's age by x and Gina's age by y.

Now were know that the age of Gina sister is 9 years older than Gina's so we can represent that by the  equation  x = y + 9

If we add their ages it is 49 so we can also represent that by the equation,

x + y = 49.

x = y + 9

x + y = 49

Using both equations, substitute x in the first equation into the second equation and solve for y.

(y + 9) + y = 49    solve for y , by first combining like terms.

2y + 9 = 49      subtract 9 from both sides

     -9        -9

2y = 40      divide both sides by 2

  y = 20

Since y was used to represent the age of Gina then Gina will be 20 years old.

Answer:

B. 20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the process of trial and error, if Gina is 20 years old, that would mean her sister is 29 years old. This is because 20+9 is equal to 29. 29+20 sums up to 49.

The table shows values that represent a quadratic function
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

- 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is

\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

here [ a, b ] = [ 3, 5 ]

From the table

f(b) = f(5) = - 26

f(a) = f(3) = - 10

Hence

average rate of change = \frac{-26-(-10)}{5-3} = \frac{-16}{2} = - 8

Which triangle is similar to ΔABC if sin(A) = 1/4, cos(A) = √15/4, and tan(A) = 1/√15?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

D is the similar triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

A quick solution to this problem is using the hypotenuse.

You know that sin(A) is 1/4 and sin is opposite / hypotenuse, so the hypotenuse should be a multiple of 4 in order for the fraction to reduce to 1/4. (it might not be, but I usually do this to see if there's a quick solution)

Using this trick, you find that the only triangle with a hypotenuse that is a multiple of 4 is the last triangle. Now simply double check the other trig. functions to check whether it truly is the same.

To check each trig function, you must first determine the corresponding angle to angle A. Again, for simplicities sake, let's use 1/4 as a determiner for the angle. The only combination of sides divided by hypotenuse that simplifies to 1/4 is 6/24. Therefore 6 must be opposite to the angle, since it's sin(a) = 1/4 and sin is opposite / hypotenuse. So the angle is X.

Now check for both cos and tan

Cos(x) = 6(15)^0.5 / 24 = (15)^0.5 / 4  CHECKS OUT

Tan(x) = 6 / 6(15)^0.5 = 1 / (15)^0.5   CHECKS OUT

Since everything checks out, then answer D is truly correct.

With another study, where you also plan on evaluating a mean using the t statistic, you have a sample of n = 21 that has an ss o
GREYUIT [131]

The variance for the sample is 25

For given question,

We have been given the sample size n = 21

and the sum of squares is SS = 500

We need to find the variance for the sample.

We know that the variance is mathematically represented as,

\sigma^2=\frac{SS}{n-1}

Substituting given values in the above formula,

\Rightarrow \sigma^2\\\\=\frac{500}{21-1}

= 500 / 20

= 25

So, the variance is 25

Therefore, the variance for the sample is 25
