Answer:

It is a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Information needed:

Formula: a^2+b^2= c^2

a: leg

b: leg

c: hypotenuse

the longest side is always the hypotenuse, so 17 in

the order of legs don't matter so 8 in and 15 in

Solve:

a^2+b^2= c^2

8^2+15^2= 17^2

64+225= 289

289= 289

Final answer:

It is a right triangle

It is a RIGHT TRIANGLE

pythagorean theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2

if
a=8
b=15
c=17
then it is a right triangle:

8^2+15^2=17^2
64+225=289
289=289

therefore, it is a right triangle

All you need is the definition of conditional probability:

P(A\mid B)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}

So

P(C\mid D)=\dfrac{P(C\cap D)}{P(D)}\iff0.26=\dfrac{P(C\cap D)}{0.22}\implies P(C\cap D)=0.0572

P(D\mid C)=\dfrac{P(C\cap D)}{P(C)}\iff0.17=\dfrac{0.0572}{P(C)}\implies P(C)\approx0.34

and the answer would be B.

The Greens are moving. Their real estate agent located 81 houses listed for sale in their price range. Of those houses listed fo
poizon [28]

Answer:

We know that:

There is a total of 81 houses:

51 had a finished basement.

56 had a three-car garage.

37 had a finished basement and a three-car garage.

a)  How many had a finished basement but not a three-car garage?

51 had a finished basement, and 37 have a finished basement and the garage, then:

51 - 37 = 14 hoses have only the basement.

b) How many had a three-car garage but not a finished basement?

Same reasoning as above:

56 - 37 = 19 houses only have the garage.

c) How many had either a finished basement or a three-car garage?

Now we only count the ones that have one finished thing, in this case, we already found the number of houses that have only the garage or only the basement, then the number of houses that either had a finished basement or a finished garage is:

19 + 18 = 37 houses.

If dy/dx=4y and y=4 when x=0, then y=. A) 4e^4x. B) e^4x. C) 3+e^4x. D) 4+e^4x. e) 2x^2+4
aliina [53]
Hello,

dy/dx=4==>dy/y=4dx==>ln(y)=4x+C
==>y=k*e^(4x)
if x=0 y=4==>4=k*e^(4*0)==>k=4

==>y=4*e^(4x)

Rachel has 60 scones. She sells them to Robbie, Cameron, Louis, Tom and
Nutka1998 [239]
We can start by writing all that we know about the problem. Let us write down how many scones each boy has:
R_{o} : x
C_{a} : x+k
L_{o} : x+2k
T_{o} : x+3k
C_{h} : x+4k
Note that k is the increase, we know it's a constant. This is not a system of equations, please keep that in mind. We will use rest of the information given to build the system. We have two variables x (the number of cookies the first boy bought) and k( the increase), that means we need to have two equations to solve this problem. 
We know that total amount of scones is 60, so we can use that information to build our first equation. We sum all of the scones and we get 60. 
R_{o}+C_{a}+L_{o}+T_{o}+C_{h}=60
5x+10k=60
We know that Robbie and Cameron combined have 3/7 of <span>Louis, Tom and Charlie combined. We can use this information to build our second equation.
</span>R_o+C_a= \frac{3}{7} (L_o+T_o+C_h)
2x+k= \frac{3}{7} (x+2k+x+3k+x+4k)
2x+k= \frac{3}{7} (3x+9k)
14x+7k=9x+27k
5x=20k
x=4k
Now this piece of information alows us to solve the first equation that we made and this will solve our problem. We simply plug in x=4k into 5x+10k=60.
5(4k)+10k=60
30k=60
k=2
Now we can plug this information into the same equation 5x+10k=60 and get x.
5x+10(2)=60
5x=40
x=8
And that's it. Now we can write out how many cookies each boy has bought.
R_{o} : x=8
C_{a} : x+k=10
L_{o} : x+2k=12
T_{o} : x+3k=14
C_{h} : x+4k=16
If you add them all up you get 60.
