Answer:

14.4 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Base of a right triangle = 7 in

Height of a right triangle = a

Hypotenuse = 16 in

To find:

The length of side a.

Solution:

Using Pythagoras theorem:

In right triangle, square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Subtract 49 from both sides.

Taking square root on both sides, we get

a = 14.4

The length of side a is 14.4 in.

Use Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
You know b = 7, c = 16
Plug in the values
a^2 + 7^2 = 16^2
a^2 + 49 = 256
a^2 = 207
a = 14.38749
Round to nearest tenth
Solution: a = 14.4 in.

The graph of the function f(x) = –(x + 6)(x + 2) is shown below.Which statement about the function is true?
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The first statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is f(x) = - (x + 6)(x + 2)  

⇒ f(x) = - x² - 8x - 12

Now, condition for a function f(x) to be increasing at x = a is f'(a) > 0.

Now, f(x) = - x² - 8x - 12

⇒ f'(x) = -2x - 8 {Differentiating with respect to x}

Now, f'(a) = -2a - 8 {Here a can be any real value}

And, the condition for increasing function at x = a is  

- 2a - 8 > 0

⇒ - 2a > 8

⇒ a < - 4

Therefore, the first statement is true i.e. the function is increasing for all real values of x where  x < – 4. (Answer)

SELECT ALL THAT APPLY. In a population of 250 students, 60% are Whites, 20% are Latinos, 15% are Blacks, and 5% others. In a pro
Sophie [7]

In a proportionate stratified sample of 120, there are 72 Whites, 24 Latinos, 18 Blacks and 6  others.

Proportionate Stratified Sample

A proportionate stratified sample is one in which the size of the strata in the sample is proportional to the size of the strata in the population; in other words, the chance of selecting a unit from a stratum depends on the relative size of that stratum in the population.

Calculating the Proportionate Stratified Sample

The given percentage of -

Whites = 60%

Latinos = 20%

Blacks = 5%

Strength of the sample = 120

⇒ Number of Whites = 60% of 120

= 0.6 × 120

=72

Number of Latinos = 20% of 120

= 0.2 × 120

=24

Proportionate Stratified Sample of Blacks and Others

Count of Blacks = 15 % of 120

= 0.15 × 120

= 18

Count of others = 5% of 120

= 0.05 × 120

6

Thus, in a Proportionate Stratified Sample of 120, 72 are Whites, 24 are Latinos, 18 are Blacks, and 6 are others.
