Christopher is hanging Christmas lights along the perimeter of his house by using his 15 foot ladder. The base of the ladder is

placed 4 feet away from the base of his house. How far up the house does his ladder reach?
Mathematics

6 0

Answer:

14.45 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up is a right angled triangle;

The length of the ladder = hypotenuse = 15foot

The base of the ladder is the adjacent = 4feet

The height of th house is the opposite = x

Using the pythagoras theorem;

hyp² = opp² + adj²

15² = opp²+4²

opp² = 15²- 4²

opp² = 225 - 16

opp² = 209

opp = 14.45feet

Hence the ladder reaches 14.45 feet up the house

Which are the coordinates of the x-intercept in the equation -4x + 5y = 20?
forsale [732]

Answer:

The x intercept is (-5,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First, it would be helpful to rewrite the equation to be in y=mx+b form.

5y=4x+20

y=(4/5)x+4

2. Then, plug in 0 for y.

0=(4/5)x+4

3. Then, solve.

-4=(4/5)x

-20=4x

x=-5

765ab4 is divisible by 36. Compute all ordered pairs (a, b) for which this is possible
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

All the ordered pairs (a,b) are

(0,5), (2,3), (4,1), (6,8), and (8,6).

Step-by-step explanation:

765ab4 to be divisible by 36, it must be divisible by both 9 and 4.

For any number to be divisible by 4, the last two digits of the number must be divisible by 4.

Here, the last two digits are b4, so as the number b4 is divisible by 4, b can be 0,2,4,6, and 8.

For any number to be divisible by 9, the sum of all the digit of the number must be divisible by 9.

Here, the sum of all the digits, S= 7+6+5+a+b+4=22+a+b.

Now, we have b={0,2,4,6, 8}

For b=0,

S=22+a+0=22+a which is a multiple of 9.

So, the possible value of the digit a :

a=5

So, (a,b)=(0,5)

For b=2,

S=22+a+2=24+a which is a multiple of 9.

So, the possible value of the digit a :

a=3

So, (a,b)=(2,3)

For b=4,

S=22+a+4=26+a which is a multiple of 9.

So, the possible value of the digit a :

a=1

So, (a,b)=(4,1)

For b=6,

S=22+a+6=28+a which is a multiple of 9.

So, the possible value of the digit a :

a=8

So, (a,b)=(6,8)

For b=8,

S=22+a+8=30+a which is a multiple of 9.

So, the possible value of the digit a :

a=6

So, (a,b)=(8,6)

Hence, all the ordered pairs (a,b) are

(0,5), (2,3), (4,1), (6,8), and (8,6).

How do you spell 4 billion in scientific notation
Tema [17]

Answer:

<h2>4 bilion = 4 × 10⁹</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The scientific notation:

a\cdot10^k

where

1\leq a

4 billion:

in USA: 4,000,000,000

in Europe: 4 000 000 000 000

4\underbrace{000000000}_9=4\cdot10^9

In a survey, the planning value for the population proportion is . How large a sample should be taken to provide a confidence in
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

n=350

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation and definitions

n random sample taken  (variable of interest)

\hat p=0.35 estimated proportion  (value assumed)

p true population proportion

Confidence =0.95 or 95% (value assumed)

Me=0.05 (value assumed)

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}    (a)  

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.05 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}   (b)  

And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

n=\frac{0.35(1-0.35)}{(\frac{0.05}{1.96})^2}=349.586  

And rounded up we have that n=350
