Answer:

a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' theorem in the right triangle

a² + 12² = 13²

a² + 144 = 169 ( subtract 144 from both sides )

a² = 25 ( take the square root of both sides )

a = \sqrt{25} = 5

Answer:

pythagoras theorem formula

h^2=p^2+b^2

here hypotenuse is 13

you can take a as either perpendicular or base

lets take it base

h^2=p^2+b^2

(13)^2=(12)^2+(a)^2

169=144+a^2

169-144=a^2

25=a^2

\sqrt{25}=a

5=a

In testing to see whether opinion with respect to the use of instant replay is independent of the category of the person intervi
Akimi4 [234]

Answer: (D) The small p-value suggests that there is evidence of an association between category and opinion about the use of instant replay.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the P-value supplied, it shows that the researcher was 99% confident of the experiment and have 1% chance of error.

Given that the p-value less than 0.001 were calculated, it translates that there is a statistical dependency between the category of the people interviewed and opinion about the use of instant replay.

Collin Buys a TV for £720 depreciate at a rate of 4% per year how much will it be worth in three years
belka [17]

Answer:

The worth of the TV after 3 years is £809.90208

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer to given question can be found from the anual depreciation formula and solving for the Future Value (F. V.) of the machine

The given parameters of the TV are;

The amount at which Collin buys the TV, P = £720

The rate at which the TV depreciates at, R = 4%

The number of years the depreciation is applied, T = 3 years

The amount the TV is worth after three years, 'A', is given as follows;

A = P \cdot \left(1 + \dfrac{R}{100} \right )^T

By plugging in the known values, we have;

A = 720 \cdot \left(1 + \dfrac{4}{100} \right )^3 = 809.90208

The amount the TV is worth after three years, A = £809.90208

Find two numbers differing by 46 whose product is as small as possible.
velikii [3]
Let the numbers be x and y.  They differ by 46. Then x = y + 46.

Their product is P = xy.  Since x = y + 46, P = xy = (y + 46)y, or

P = y^2 + 46y.  You could graph this and then identify the coordinates of the vertex, which would give you the minimum value of P.

Or you could differentiate P(y) with respect to y, set the result = to 0, and solve for y:  

2y + 46 = 0; y = -23.  x = y + 46, or +23.

The vertex of the graph of this parabola represents the minimum value of the product P.  It is (23, 46), and 46 is the smallest possible product here.
