What is the length of DF? Round to the nearest hundredth.

OlgaM077 [116]3 years ago

Answer:

7.06

Step-by-step explanation:

This triangle can be solved a couple of ways. In the end, they amount to the same thing.

1) The area is ...

A = 1/2bh = 1/2(8)(15) = 60 . . . using DG as the base

Using GE as the base, the height (DF) is ...

A = (1/2)(17)(DF)

2(60)/17 = DF = 120/17

DF ≈ 7.06

__

2) Using similar triangles, we can find the ratio of the long side to the hypotenuse as ...

(long side)/(hypotenuse) = DE/GE = DF/DG

DF = DG(DE/GE) = 8(15/17) = 120/17

DF ≈ 7.06

The equation of a parabola is given by f(x)=a(x-h)^{2}+k where (h,k) is the vertex.

We have the vertex is (-3,-2) so we have h=-3 and k=-2

Substituting -3 and -2 into the f(x)
f(x)=a(x--3)^{2}+(-2)
f(x)=a(x+3)^{2}-2

Hence, the correct answer is option D

For each ordered pair determine wheatear it is a solution to 2x
stealth61 [152]
All you have to do is plug in the x and y values for each ordered pair into the left hand side of the equation and see if you get 15 = 15. If you do, the ordered pair is a solution; otherwise it is not a solution. For example, let's try (-2,-3); that is x = -2 and y = -3:

2x - 9y = 15
2(-2) - 9(-3) = 15
-4 - (-27) = 15
-4 + 27 = 15
23 = 15

This is obviously not true, so (-2,-3) is not a solution. Now you try it on each of the ordered pairs given in the problem statement.

In a recent survey, 10 percent of the participants rated Pepsi as being "concerned with my health." PepsiCo's response included
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The statistic for this case would be given by:

z=\frac{0.18 -0.1}{\sqrt{\frac{0.1(1-0.1)}{100}}}=2.67  

Step-by-step explanation:

Infromation provided

n=100 represent the random sample selected

X=18 represent the people who rates Pepsi as being "concerned with my health"

\hat p=\frac{18}{100}=0.18 estimated proportion of people who rates Pepsi as being "concerned with my health"

p_o=0.1 is the value that reference to compare

z would represent the statistic

Hypothesis to test

For this case we can assume that the interest is check if the proportion of people who rates Pepsi as being "concerned with my health" is equal to 0.1 or not , then the system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis:p=0.1  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.1  

The satistic for this one sample proportion test is given by:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

Replacing the info given we got:

z=\frac{0.18 -0.1}{\sqrt{\frac{0.1(1-0.1)}{100}}}=2.67

The hypotenuse of a 30-60-90 triangle is 12 inches long. How long is the leg opposite the 60 degree angle?
atroni [7]

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the Opposite side to an angle is in the same order of length as the Angle. So, 90 = 12, and  60 = 8. Using Cross multiplication, this answer can be solved:

\frac{90}{12} = \frac{60}{n}  , 60 x 12 = 720, and 90 x 8 = 720. N = 8.

\frac{90}{12} = \frac{30}{n} , 30 x 12 = 360, and 90 x 4 = 360. N = 4
