Answer:

2 - 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer is in the problem:

2 less than = 2 minus a number ( 2- )

five times a number = 5x ( we don't know what number five is being multiplied by, so we put a variable)

<h3><u>Let's</u><u> </u><u>understand the concept</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

Here angle B is 90°

So $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle ABD$ Are right angled triangle

So we use Pythagoras thereon for solution

<h3><u>Required Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

First in triangle ABC

perpendicular=p=8cm

Hypontenuse =h =10cm

We need to find base=b

According to Pythagoras thereon

${\boxed{\sf b^2=h^2-p^2}}$

Substitutethe values

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b^2=10^2-p^2$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b={\sqrt {10^2-8^2}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b={\sqrt{100-64}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\bf b={\sqrt {36}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b=6$

$\therefore$ $\overline{BC}=6cm$

BD=BC+CD

$\longrightarrow$ $BD=9+6$

$\longrightarrow$ $BD=15cm$

Now in $\triangle ABD$

Perpendicular=p=8cm

Base =b=15cm

We need to find Hypontenuse =AD(x)

According to Pythagoras thereon

${\boxed {\sf h^2=p^2+b^2}}$

Substitute the values

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h^2=8^2+15^2$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {8^2+15^2}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {64+225}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {289}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h=17cm$

$\therefore$ ${\underline{\boxed{\bf x=17cm}}}$

Find the midpoint of NP⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ given N(2a, 2b) and P(2a, 0).

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

(2a, b )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

[ $\frac{1}{2}$ (x₁ + x₂ ), $\frac{1}{2}$ (y₁ + y₂ ) ]

Here (x₁, y₁ ) = N(2a, 2b) and (x₂, y₂ ) = P(2a, 0), thus

midpoint = [ $\frac{1}{2}$ (2a + 2a), $\frac{1}{2}$ (2b + 0 ) ] = (2a, b )

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the lower bound of the 99% confidence interval is given by:

d. 68.39%.

<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which:

$\pi$ is the sample proportion.

z is the critical value.

n is the sample size.

In this problem, we have a 99% confidence level, hence $\alpha = 0.99$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.99}{2} = 0.995$ , so the critical value is z = 2.575.

The sample size and estimate are given by:

$n = 2002, \pi = 0.71$

Hence, the lower bound is given by:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.71 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.71(0.29)}{2002}} = 0.6839$

Hence the lower bound is of 68.39%, which means that option D is correct.
