Answer:

2x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) - f(x) = 5x - 10 - 3x - 2 = 2x - 12

I've had a problem similar to this before. He should start out with 0 flowers. He would have 2 flowers at the first one, so he would put one on the first grave then have one for the second. When he gets to the second, he puts down one flower and the last flower on the 3rd grave.

A study sampled 350 upperclassmen (Group 1) and 250 underclassmen (Group 2) at high schools around the city of Portland. The stu

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

$-0.061 < P_1 -P_2< 0.025$

Step-by-step explanation:

Give data:

$n_1 = 350$

$n_2 =250$

$x_1 = 23$

$x_2 = 21$

$\hat{P} 1 = \frac{x_1}{n_1} = \frac{23}{350} = 0.066$

$\hat{P} 2 = \frac{x_2}{n_2} = \frac{21}{250} = 0.084$

for 95% confidence interval

$\alpha = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05 and \alpha/2 = 0.025$

$z_{\alpha/2} = 1.96$ from standard z- table

confidence interval for P_1 and P_2 is

$\hat{P} 1 - \hat{P} 2 \pm z_{\alpja/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat{P} 1(1-\hat{P} 1)}{n_1} +\frac{\hat{P} 2(1-\hat{P} 2)}{n_2}}$

$(0.066 - 0.084) \pm 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.066(1-0.066)}{350} +\frac{0.084(1-0.084)}{250}}$

$-0.018 \pm 0.043$

confidence interval is

$-0.018 - 0.043 < P_1 -P_2$

$-0.061 < P_1 -P_2< 0.025$

Suppose the lengths of two sides of a right triangle are represented by 2x and 3 (x + 1), and the longest side is 17 units. Find

densk [106]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:-

given the lengths of two sides of a right angle are represented by 2x and 3(x+1) and longest side is 17 units.

AB = 2x and BC = 3(x+1) and longest side AC= 17

by using Pythagoras theorem

$AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2$

step 2:-

The hypotenuse is longest side is AC = 17 units

(17)^2 = 4x^2 +9(X+1)^2

on simplification, we will use formula

$(a + b)^2 = a^2 +2ab+b^2$

289 = 4x^2 +9(x^2+2x+1)

$13x^2 +18x-280 = 0$

finding factors 70 X 52 = 3640

$13x^2 +70x-52x-280 = 0$

$13x^2 -52x+ 70x-280 = 0$

Taking common , we get

13x(x-4)+70(x-4)=0

x-4=0 and 13x+70=0

x=4 and $13x =-70$

x=4 and $x=\frac{-70}{13}$

we can not choose negative value so x value is 4

Final answer:- x = 4

verification:-

$AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2$

289 = 4(4)^2+9(4+1)^2

289 = 64 +9(25)

289=289

are any two regular polygons similar. The area of the smaller figure is about 390 cm^2. choose the best estimate of the area of

galben [10]

Answer:

The best estimate of the area of the larger figure is $693\ cm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal to the scale factor

Let

z----> the scale factor

x-----> the corresponding side of the larger figure

y-----> the corresponding side of the smaller figure

$z=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$x=12\ cm$

$y=9\ cm$

substitute

$z=\frac{12}{9}=\frac{4}{3}$ -----> the scale factor

step 2

Find the area of the larger figure

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z----> the scale factor

x-----> the area of the larger figure

y-----> the area of the smaller figure

$z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=\frac{4}{3}$

$y=390\ cm^{2}$

substitute and solve for x

$(\frac{4}{3})^{2}=\frac{x}{390}$

$(\frac{16}{9})=\frac{x}{390}$

$x=390*16/9=693.33\ cm^{2}$
