Answer:
D.) 8
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the Pythagorean theorem because this is a right triangle:
a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is always the longest side in a right triangle (since it is opposite the biggest angle). The two legs squared have to add up to the hypotenuse squared.
Fill in values:
Simplify exponents:
Isolate the variable. Subtract 225 from both sides:
Find the square root of both sides:
The missing leg length is 8.
A system is inconsistent when there are no solutions between the two equations. Graphically, the lines will be parallel (they never meet!) and the slopes will be the same. But the y-intercepts will be different.
Let's look at the four equations, with each solved as needed, into y = mx + b form.
A: 2x + y = 5
y = 5 - 2x
y = -2x + 5
Compared to y = 2x + 5, the slopes are different, so this system won't be inconsistent. Not a good choice.
B: y = 2x + 5
Compared to y = 2x + 5, the slopes are the same and the y intercepts are the same. This system has infinitely many solutions. Not a good choice.
C: 2x - 4y = 10
-4y = 10 - 2x
-4y = -2x + 10
y = 2/4x -10/4
Here the slopes are different, so, like A this is not a good choice.
D: 2y - 4x = -10
2y = =10 + 4x
2y = 4x - 10
y = 2x - 5
Compared to y = 2x + 5 we have the same slopes and different y intercepts. The lines will be parallel and the system is inconsistent.
Thus, D is the best choice.
Answer:
About 135.
Step-by-step explanation:
As the sample is random the number of monkeys likely to be in the zoo
= (22/65) * 400
= 135.38
