Answer:D.) (-1, 1), (-1, 5), (-7, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:The length of the horizontal segment of the triangle graphed is 3.  The length of the vertical segment of the triangle graphed is 2.  Using the Pythagorean theorem, this makes the length of the missing side

2²+3²=c²

4+9 = c²

13=c²

√13 = c

This makes our side lengths 2, 3, and √13.

For choice A our vertices are (-1, 1), (-1, 4), (-6, 1).

This makes the length of the horizontal segment 5 and the length of the vertical segment 3.  This makes the missing side length

5²+3²=c²

25+9=c²

34=c²

√34 = c

This is not proportional to the triangle drawn, so it is not similar.

The vertices of the triangle in option B are (-1, 1), (-1, 5), and (-6, 1).  This makes the horizontal segment 5 units long and the vertical segment 4 units long.  This makes the missing side length

4²+5²=c²

16+25=c²

41=c²

√41=c

These are not proportional to the triangle drawn, so the triangles are not similar.

The vertices of the triangle in choice C are (-1, 1), (-1, 4) and (-7, 1).  This makes the length of the horizontal segment 6 and the length of the vertical segment 3.  This makes the missing side length

3²+6²=c²

9+36=c²

45=c²

√45=c

3√5=c

These sides are not proportional to the sides of the triangle drawn, so the triangles are not similar.

The vertices of the triangle in choice D are (-1, 1), (-1, 5) and (-7, 1).  This makes the length of the horizontal segment 6 and the length of the vertical segment 4.  This makes the missing side length

6²+4²=c²

36+16=c²

52=c²

√52=c²

2√13=c

These sides are all twice as long as the sides of the triangle drawn; this means the triangles are similar.

You recently sent out a survey to determine if the percentage of adults who use social media has changed from 66%, which was the
il63 [147K]

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of adults who use social media is (0.56, 0.6034).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

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

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

Of the 2809 people who responded to survey, 1634 stated that they currently use social media.

This means that n = 2809, \pi = \frac{1634}{2809} = 0.5817

98% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.02, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.02}{2} = 0.99, so Z = 2.327.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.5817 - 2.327\sqrt{\frac{0.5817*4183}{2809}} = 0.56

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.5817 + 2.327\sqrt{\frac{0.5817*4183}{2809}} = 0.6034

The 98% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of adults who use social media is (0.56, 0.6034).

Why are 7 and 2 like terms? help please!!
bazaltina [42]

Like terms are terms whose variables are the same. In this case, 7 and 2 have no coefficients therefore are like terms. For example, 7x and 2x would both be like terms because they have the same coefficient which is x.

Bella types at a constant rate of 42 words per minute. Is the number of words she can type proportional to the number of minutes
solmaris [256]
Yes, the number of words ARE proportional to the number of minutes she types, away to tell is when it says Bella types at a CONSTANT rate of 42 words per minute. This means for every minute 42 words will be added.
