What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (6, 4) and has a slope of -2/3

Given points A (0,0), B (4,0), C (0,2), D (0,0), E (2,0), and F (0,1), which of the following proves that

Similar triangles may or may not have equal side lengths

Triangles ABC and DEF are similar by SSS theorem

<h3>How to determine the similarity statement</h3>

The coordinates of the two triangles are:

A (0,0), B (4,0), C (0,2), D (0,0), E (2,0), and F (0,1)

Calculate the lengths of both triangles using the following distance formula

$d = \sqrt{(x_2 -x_1)^2 + (y_2 -y_1)^2}$

For triangle ABC, we have:

$AB = \sqrt{(0 -4)^2 + (0 -0)^2} = 4$

$BC = \sqrt{(4 -0)^2 + (0 -2)^2} = 2\sqrt 5$

$CA = \sqrt{(0 -0)^2 + (0 -2)^2} = 2$

For triangle DEF, we have:

$DE = \sqrt{(0 -2)^2 + (0 -0)^2} = 2$

$EF = \sqrt{(2 -0)^2 + (0 -1)^2} = \sqrt 5$

$FD = \sqrt{(0 -0)^2 + (1 -0)^2} = 1$

Divide corresponding sides of the triangles to calculate the scale factor k

$k = \frac{AB}{DE} = \frac{BC}{EF} = \frac{CA}{FD}$

This gives

$k = \frac{4}{2} = \frac{2\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 5} = \frac{2}{1}$

Evaluate the quotients

$k = 2 = 2 = 2$

Since the quotients are equal, then the triangles are similar

Hence, triangles ABC and DEF are similar by SSS theorem

A manufacturer knows that on average 20% of the electric toasters produced require repairs within 1 year after they are sold. Wh

Effectus [21]

Answer:

(a) The value of x is 5.

(b) The value of y is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable X represent the number of electric toasters produced that require repairs within 1 year.

And the let the random variable Y represent the number of electric toasters produced that does not require repairs within 1 year.

The probability of the random variables are:

P (X) = 0.20

P (Y) = 1 - P (X) = 1 - 0.20 = 0.80

The event that a randomly selected electric toaster requires repair is independent of the other electric toasters.

A random sample of n = 20 toasters are selected.

The random variable X and Y thus, follows binomial distribution.

The probability mass function of X and Y are:

$P(X=x)={20\choose x}(0.20)^{x}(1-0.20)^{20-x}$

$P(Y=y)={20\choose y}(0.20)^{20-y}(1-0.20)^{y}$

(a)

Compute the value of x such that P (X ≥ x) < 0.50:

$P (X \geq x) < 0.50\\\\1-P(X\leq x-1)$

Use the Binomial table for n = 20 and p = 0.20.

$0.411=\sum\limits^{3}_{x=0}[b(x,20,0.20)]$

The least value of x that satisfies the inequality P (X ≥ x) < 0.50 is:

x - 1 = 4

x = 5

Thus, the value of x is 5.

(b)

Compute the value of y such that P (Y ≥ y) > 0.80:

$P (Y \geq y) >0.80\\\\P(Y\leq 20-y)>0.80\\\\P(Y\leq 20-y)>0.80\\\\\sum\limits^{20-y}_{y=0}[{20\choose y}(0.20)^{20-y}(1-0.20)^{y}]>0.80$

Use the Binomial table for n = 20 and p = 0.20.

$0.630=\sum\limits^{4}_{y=0}[b(y,20,0.20)]$

The least value of y that satisfies the inequality P (Y ≥ y) > 0.80 is:

20 - y = 5

y = 15

Thus, the value of y is 15.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

If (x - 5) is a factor of P(x) then P(5) = 0 ← Factor theorem

Given

P(x) = x³ - 5x² - x + 5, then

P(5) = 5³ - 5(5)² - 5 + 5 = 125 - 125 - 5 + 5 = 0

Since P(5) = 0 then (x - 5) is a factor of P(x)
