with the pythagorean theorem

$\begin{gathered} (4+3x)^2=x^2+(3+3x)^2 \\ 16+24x+9x^2=x^2+9+18x+9x^2 \\ 16+24x+9x^2=10x^2+18x+9 \\ 16+24x+9x^2-9=10x^2+18x+9-9 \\ 9x^2+24x+7=10x^2+18x \\ 9x^2+24x+7-18x=10x^2+18x-18x \\ 9x^2+6x+7=10x^2 \\ 9x^2+6x+7-10x^2=10x^2-10x^2 \\ -x^2+6x+7=0 \end{gathered}$

using the formula of the quadratic equation

$\begin{gathered} x_{1,\: 2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ x1=\frac{-6+\sqrt{6^2-4\left(-1\right)\cdot\:7}}{2\left(-1\right)}=-1 \\ x2=\frac{-6-\sqrt{6^2-4\left(-1\right)\cdot\:7}}{2\left(-1\right)}=7 \end{gathered}$

the length cannot be negative, therefore x=7

length of the shorter leg is: 7ft

length of the longer leg is: 3+3(7)= 24ft

length of the hypotenuse is: 4+3(7)= 25ft

Suppose that the members of a student governance committee will be selected from the 40 members of the student senate. There are

Len [333]

Answer:

The total number of ways to form a student governance committee is 1,211,760.

Step-by-step explanation:

The students senate consists of a total of 40 students.

The students are either Sophomores or Juniors or Seniors.

The number of students in each of these categories are as follows:

Sophomores = 18

Juniors = 12

Seniors = 10

A governance committee have to be selected from the students senate.

The committee have to made up of 2 sophomores, 2 juniors and 3 seniors.

Combinations can be used to select 2 sophomores from 18, 2 juniors from 12 and 3 seniors from 10.

Combinations is a mathematical technique used to determine the number of ways to select k items from n distinct items.

The formula is:

${n\choose k}=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$

(1)

Compute the number of ways to select 2 sophomores from 18 as follows:

${n\choose k}=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$

${18\choose 2}=\frac{18!}{2!(18-2)!}=\frac{18\times 17\times 16!}{2\times 16!}=153$

Thus, there are 153 ways to select 2 sophomores from 18.

(2)

Compute the number of ways to select 2 juniors from 12 as follows:

${n\choose k}=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$

${12\choose 2}=\frac{12!}{2!(12-2)!}=\frac{12\times 11\times 10!}{2\times 10!}=66$

Thus, there are 66 ways to select 2 juniors from 12.

(3)

Compute the number of ways to select 3 seniors from 10 as follows:

${n\choose k}=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$

${10\choose 3}=\frac{10!}{3!(10-3)!}=\frac{10\times 9\times 8\times 7!}{2\times 3\times 7!}=120$

Thus, there are 120 ways to select 3 seniors from 10.

The total number of ways to form a student governance committee that must have 2 sophomores, 2 juniors and 3 seniors is:

Total number of ways = ${18\choose 2}\times {12\choose 2}\times {10\choose 3}$

$=153\times 66\times 120\\=1211760$

Thus, the total number of ways to form a student governance committee is 1,211,760.

1. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the breast cancer rate for women has decreased at 0.9% per year b

jeka94

Answer:

a. 199,389

b. b. From the part A, the question suggests a 0.9% yearly decrease which amounts to 199,389. This answer does not correspond to their recorded figure because the 0.9% decrease was just an average taken over the period. There could be years that the decrease was way smaller than the recorded average, thus using average may not be a good way for calculating population decrease over a period of time.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Population in 2009 = 192,370

This means that in 2005 the population = 192,370 x 1.009 x 1.009 x 1.009 x 1.009 = 199,389

b. From the part A, the question suggests a 0.9% yearly decrease which amounts to 199,389. This answer does not correspond to their recorded figure because the 0.9% decrease was just an average taken over the period. There could be years that the decrease was way smaller than the recorded average, thus using average may not be a good way for calculating population decrease over a period of time.

In the spinner below, what is the probability of landing

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 equal sized sections, and 2 sections that are twice the size of the others ( 2*2=4), for a total of 8 sections

The section with a 6 in it is a double size section so it counts as 2 sections

P(6) =number of sections with a 6/ total sections

=2/8

=1/4
