Answer:

a. i. x + y = 180  (1) and  x - 4y = 5   (2)

ii. The two acute angles are 35° each and the two obtuse angles are 145° each.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The measures of the obtuse angles in the isosceles trapezoid are five more than four times the measures of the acute angles. Write and solve a system of equations to find the measures of all the angles.

i. Write a system of equations to find the measures of all the angles.

Let x be the obtuse angles and y be the acute angles.

Since we have two obtuse angles at the top of the isosceles trapezoid and two acute angles at the bottom of the isosceles trapezoid, and also, since the sum of angles in a quadrilateral is 360, we have

2x + 2y = 360

x + y = 180  (1)

Its is also given that the measures of the obtuse angles in the isosceles trapezoid are five more than four times the measures of the acute angles.

So, x = 4y + 5   (2)

x - 4y = 5   (2)

So, our system of equations are

x + y = 180  (1) and  x - 4y = 5   (2)

ii. Solve a system of equations to find the measures of all the angles.

Since

x + y = 180  (1) and  x - 4y = 5   (2)

Subtracting (2) from (1), we have

x + y = 180  (1)

-

x - 4y = 5   (2)

5y = 175

dividing both sides by 5, we have

y = 175/5

y = 35°

From (1), x = 180° - y = 180° - 35° = 145°

So, the two acute angles are 35° each and the two obtuse angles are 145° each.

The commuting time for a student to travel from home to a college campus is normally distributed with a mean of 30 minutes and a
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

0.1587

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the commuting time for the student. We know that X\sim N(30, (5)^2). Then, the normal probability density function for the random variable X is given by

f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi(5)^{2}}}\exp[-\frac{(x-\mu)^{2}}{2(5)^{2}}]. We are seeking the probability P(X>35) because the student leaves home at 8:25 A.M., we want to know the probability that the student will arrive at the college campus later than 9 A.M. and between 8:25 A.M. and 9 A.M. there are 35 minutes of difference. So,

 

P(X>35) = \int\limits_{35}^{\infty}f(x)dx = 0.1587

To find this probability you can use either a table from a book or a programming language. We have used the R statistical programming language an the instruction pnorm(35, mean = 30, sd = 5, lower.tail = F)

Which of the following steps can be performed so that the square root property may easily be applied to 2x2 = 16? (1 point)
Ivan

Answer:

\Large \boxed{\mathrm{Option \ 2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 =16

The square root property requires a quantity squared by itself on one side of the equation. The only quantity squared is x, so divide both sides by 2 before applying the square root property.

The x variable should be isolated on one side of the equation. The x variable is squared so before performing the square root property where we take the square root of both sides, we divide both sides by 2, then take the square root of both sides.

Dividing both sides by 2.

\displaystyle \frac{2x^2 }{2} =\frac{16}{2}

x^2 =8

Taking the square root of both sides.

\sqrt{x^2 } =\pm \sqrt{8}

x=\pm 2\sqrt{2}

The equation 2y+x0 is shown on the graph below as a:
kirza4 [7]
I think it’s the red line.
So you want to put the equation into y=mx+b so you would need to subtract the x to put it on the right side so then you’ll have 2y=-x+0 then divide by 2 to get the y by itself then you’ll have y=-2x+0 that means the line would be negative and the y intercept is 0 and the only line that follows that is the red line.

Hope this helped :)
