Answer:

x = 0.667 and y = -0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

6x + 5y = 1 ....(1)

6x - 5y = 7 ...(2)

We need to solve the above equations.

Subtract equations (1) and (2)

6x + 5y -(6x - 5y) = 1-7

6x+5y-6x+5y = -6

10y=-6

y = -0.6

Put the value of y in equation (1).

6x + 5(-0.6) = 1

6x = 1-5(-0.6)

6x = 4

x = 0.667

Hence, first step is to subtract equation (1) and (2) then put the value of y in equation (1).

Human body temperatures are normally distributed with a mean of 98.20degreesF and a standard deviation of 0.62 degrees
iogann1982 [59]
Answer: The temperature that separates the top 7% with the bottom 93% is 99.12 degrees.

The z-score that corresponds to 93% is about 1.48. If we write the equation for the z-score, we can solve for the missing temperature.

The equation would be:
(x - 98.2) / 0.62 = 1.48
x - 98.2 = 0.9176
x = 99.12 degrees

Standing 140 feet from the base of a tree, Alejandro uses his clinometer to site the top of the tree. The reading on his clinome
Advocard [28]

Answer:

132 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Alejandro is standing at a distance of 140 feet from the base of the tree and his eyes are 6 feet above the ground.

Let AB is the height of the tree and point E is the location of his eyes which is 6 feet above from C on the ground as shown in the figure.

The distance between points A and C, AC=140 feet.

Drawing a horizontal line from point E which meets AB at point D as shown.

As ACED forms a rectangle, so

AC=DE=140 feet ...(i)

CE=AD= 6 feet ...(ii)

The height of the tree, AB=AD+DB

By using equation (ii),  AB=6+DB ...(iii)

Now, given that the on watching the top of the tree, the reading on the clinometer is 42 degrees.

So,\angle DEB = 42^{\circ}

In triangle DEB,

\tan 42^{\circ} = \frac {DB}{DE} \\\\\Rightarrow DB = DE \times \tan 42^{\circ} \\\\

\Rightarrow DB = 140 \times \tan 42^{\circ} [from (i)]

\Rightarrow DB = 126 feet

From equation (iii) the height of the tree is

AB=6+126=132 feet.

Hence, the height of the tree is 132 feet.
