Refer to the following illustration to answer this Question.

The area of the right triangle shown is 24 square feet. Which equations can be used to find the lengths of the legs of the trian

Gwar [14]

The equations to calculate the legs are 0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24, x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 and x^2 + (x + 2)^2 = 100

<h3>How to determine the legs of the triangle?</h3>

The complete question is in the attached image

The given parameters are:

Area = 24

Legs = x and x + 2

The area of the triangle is calculated as:

Area = 0.5 * Base * Height

This gives

0.5 * x * (x + 2) = 24

So, we have:

0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24

Divide through by 0.5

(x)(x + 2) = 48

Expand

x^2 + 2x = 48

Subtract 48 from both side

x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0

Hence, the equations to calculate the legs are 0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24, x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 and x^2 + (x + 2)^2 = 100

The difference of two rational numbers is always negative true of false

Vlada [557]

Comparing two rational numbers

Use fraction form:

Make the denominators the same and compare the numerators. The number with the smaller numerator is smaller. For example, to compare a/b and c/d, we rewrite

a/b=a*d/b*d

= ad/bd and c/d = c*b/d*b=bc/bd

Now just compare the numerators : "ad" and "bc"

Multiplying and Dividing Rational Numbers

Multiplying and dividing rational numbers in decimal form is the same as multiplying and dividing integers. The decimal place of the product is the same of all decimals of all multiplied numbers. For example, 3.12*2.4.

Solution => 3.12*2.4=7.488

When multiplying or dividing rational numbers in fractional form, you multiply the numerators (N*N) and then multiply the denominators (D*D).

When dividing rational numbers in fractional form, first take the reciprocal of the divisor, and then multiply the numerators and the denominators.

Example => 5/9 divided by 2/7 .

Solution => 5/9 * 7/2 = 35/18

Adding Rational numbers

Adding and Subtracting rational numbers in decimal form is the same as adding and subtracting integers.

Example => -3.54+2.79=-0.75

When adding or subtracting rational numbers in fractional form, first make the denominator equal, and then add or subtract the numerators.

The difference can be negative or positive.

A car dealership sells 0, 1, or 2 luxury cars on any day. When selling a car, the dealer also tries to persuade the customer to

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Mean = 1.42

Variance = 0.58

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: X denote the number of luxury cars sold in a given day, and Y denote the number of extended warranties sold.

Also, joint probability function of X and Y are given.

To find:

mean and variance of X

Solution:

From the given joint probability function of X and Y,

$P(X=0)=\frac{1}{6}\\P(X=1)=\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1+2}{12}=\frac{3}{12}\\P(X=2)=\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1+4+2}{12}=\frac{7}{12}$

Mean of X:

$E(X)=\sum XP(X)\\=0\left ( \frac{1}{6} \right )+1\left ( \frac{3}{12} \right )+2\left ( \frac{7}{12} \right )\\=0+\frac{3}{12}+\frac{14}{12}\\=\frac{17}{12}=1.42$

Variance of X:

$E(X^2)=\sum X^2P(X)\\=0^2\left ( \frac{1}{6} \right )+1^2\left ( \frac{3}{12} \right )+2^2\left ( \frac{7}{12} \right )\\=0+\frac{3}{12}+\frac{28}{12}\\=\frac{31}{12}$

$var(X)=E\left [ X^2 \right ]-\left ( E\left [ X \right ] \right )^2\\=\frac{31}{12}-\left ( \frac{17}{12} \right )^2\\=\frac{31}{12}-\frac{289}{144}\\=\frac{372-289}{144}\\=\frac{83}{144}\\=0.58$

What is the value of a?

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

the second option : 5 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

the height (h) in such a right-angled triangle is based on the 2 segments of the baseline : 3 and a

h = 4

the formula is h = sqrt(a×b)

with a and b being the baseline segments.

so,

4 = sqrt(3×a)

16 = 3×a

a = 16/3 = 5 1/3
