Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula between two points:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Substitute the coordinates of the points.

A(4,\ 0),\ B(2,\ 1),\ C(-1,\ -5)\\\\AB=\sqrt{(2-4)^2+(1-0)^2}=\sqrt{(-2)^2+1^2}=\sqrt{4+1}=\sqrt5\\\\AC=\sqrt{(-1-4)^2+(-5-0)^2}=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(-5)^2}=\sqrt{25+25}=\sqrt{50}\\\\BC=\sqrt{(-1-2)^2+(-5-1)^2}=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-6)^2}=\sqrt{9+36}=\sqrt{45}

If a ≤ b < c are the sides of the right triangle, then

a² + b² = c²

\sqrt5

used (\sqrt{a})^2=a for a ≥ 0.

AB^2+BC^2=AC^2 therefore ΔABC is a right triangle.

Rasek [7]

Answer:

0.6604

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a market  research firm knows from historical data that telephone surveys have a 36% response rate.

Sample size of random sample = 280

We know for samples randomly drawn of large size sample proportion follows a normal distribution with mean= sample proportin and std error

= \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} }

Substitute p = 0.36 and q = 1-0.36= 0.64

p follows N with mean = 0.36 and std dev = \sqrt{\frac{0.36*0.64}{\sqrt{280} } } \\=0.0287

Using normal distribution values we can find\

P(33.5p.c. < p < 39pc)\\= P(0.335

Use PEMDAS to solve

First multiply 50x50, which is 2,500

50 x 50 + 60 - 105   becomes

2,500 + 60 - 105

Now to the addition or subtraction from left to right
