Answer:

a) yes; 12/15/17 ~ 20/25/x; SAS

b) x = 28 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The left-side segments are in the ratio ...

top : bottom = 12 : 8 = 3 : 2

The right side segments are in the ratio ...

top : bottom = 15 : 10 = 3 : 2

These are the same ratio, and the angle at the peak is the same in both triangles, so the triangles are similar by the SAS postulate.

Normally, a similarity statement would identify the triangles by the labels on their vertices. Here, there are no such labels, so we choose to write the statement in terms of the side lengths, shortest to longest:

12/15/17 ~ 20/25/x

The sides of similar triangles are proportional, so the ratio of longest to shortest sides will be the same in the two triangles. In the smaller triangle, the longest side is 17/12 times the length of the shortest side. The value of x will be 17/12 times the length of the shortest side in the larger triangle:

x = 17/12 · 20 = 340/12

x = 28 1/3

How does the graph of y= sec(x-2)+2 comparé to the graph of y= sec(x) ?

motikmotik

Answer:

The function y= sec(x-2)+2 is shifted two units to the right and 2 units upwards., compared to y=sex(x).

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we need to know the rules for translation of graphs:

Given the function y = f(x):

y=f(x-a) is the same graph shifted 'a' units to the right. If 'a' is negative, then, the graph is shifted to the left.
y = f(x) - a is the same graph, but shifted 'a' units downwards. If 'a' is negative, then the graph will be shifted upwards.

In this case, our main function is y=sec(x). And the function y= sec(x-2)+2 is shifted two units to the right and 2 units upwards.

Suppose that IQ scores have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 103 and a standard deviation of 15. Using the empirical ru

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Probability = 0.15%

Step-by-step explanation:

The provided information is:

Let X be the scores of the IQ scores that is normally distributed with mean $\mu = 103$ and standard deviation

That is $X \sim N(103,15)$

$103 - 58 = 45 = 3 \times 15$

So, 58 is 3 standard deviation left to the mean.

As 99.7% of probability lies within the three standard deviation.

Thus, above three standard deviation is:

$\frac{1-0.997}{2}=0.0015$

Thus, the required probability is 0.15%

If f(x)=x^2+2x-4 and g(x)=3x+1 find f(g(x))=__x^2+__x+__

Korvikt [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x² + 2x - 4

g(x) = 3x + 1

f(g(x)) = f(3x + 1)

f(3x + 1) = [3x + 1]² + 2[3x + 1] - 4

= 9x² + 6x + 1 + 6x + 2 - 4

= 9x² + 12x -1

The size 4 soccer ball Sean’s team uses should weigh no more than 0.37 kilograms, and no less than 0.31 kilograms. A soccer bag

Answers:

Q: What is the most they could weigh together?

A: 0.74 kg

-----

Q: What is the least they could weigh together?

A: 0.62 kg

=================================================

Work Shown:

x = weight of first ball

y = weight of second ball

each ball has a weight range of 0.31 kg to 0.37 kg, so,

$0.31 \le x \le 0.37$

$0.31 \le y \le 0.37$

add straight down to get

$0.31+0.31 \le x+y \le 0.37+0.37$

which simplifies to

$0.62 \le x+y \le 0.74$

the two soccer balls have a weight range of 0.62 to 0.74, inclusive of both endpoints.

--------

Without using algebra, you basically just add the smallest the two weights could be (0.31) to itself to get 0.31+0.31 = 0.62 which represents the smallest the two weights combined can be. The same happens with the largest weight of 0.37 to get 0.37+0.37 = 0.74 as the max weight of both objects together.
