Answer:

Option C. 7.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

triangle PAM is similar to triangle RAE by AA Similarity Theorem

Remember that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

$\frac{PA}{RA}=\frac{AM}{AE}$

substitute the given values

$\frac{20+x}{20}=\frac{25+9}{25}$

solve for x

$\frac{20+x}{20}=\frac{34}{25}$

$20+x=\frac{34}{25}(20)$

$x=\frac{34}{25}(20)-20$

$x=7.2\ units$

Which expression is equivalent to Left-bracket log 9 + one-half log x + log (x cubed + 4) Right-bracket minus log 6? log StartFr

dybincka [34]

Answer:

$\log{\dfrac{3\sqrt{x}(x^3+4)}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\log{9}+\dfrac{1}{2}\log{x}+\log{(x^3+4)}-\log{6}=\log{\left(\dfrac{9x^{\frac{1}{2}}(x^3+4)}{6}\right)}\\\\=\boxed{\log{\dfrac{3\sqrt{x}(x^3+4)}{2}}}\qquad\text{matches choice A}$

The applicable rules of logarithms are ...

log(ab) = log(a) +log(b)

log(a/b) = log(a) -log(b)

log(a^b) = b·log(a)

Suppose the null hypothesis, H0, is: Darrell has enough money in his bank account to purchase a new television. What is the Type

seropon [69]

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

In statistics, The Type II error occurs when the null hypothesis is false, but fails to be rejected.

Given : Suppose the null hypothesis, $H_0$ , is: Darrell has enough money in his bank account to purchase a new television.

Then , Type II error in this scenario will be when the null hypothesis is false, but fails to be rejected.

i.e. Darrell has not enough money in his bank account to purchase a new television but fails to be rejected.

The radius of a spherical balloon is measured as 20 inches, with a possible error of 0.03 inch. Use differentials to approximate

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

a) $V = 33510.322\,in^{3}$ , b) $A_{s} = 5026.548\,in^{2}$ , c) $\% V = 0.450\,\%$ , $\%A_{s} = 0.300\,\%$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume and the surface area of the sphere are, respectively:

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi \cdot r^{3}$

$A_{s} = 4\pi \cdot r^{2}$

a) The volume of the sphere is:

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi \cdot (20\,in)^{3}$

$V = 33510.322\,in^{3}$

b) The surface area of the sphere is:

$A_{s} = 4\pi \cdot (20\,in)^{2}$

$A_{s} = 5026.548\,in^{2}$

c) The total differentials for volume and surface area of the sphere are, respectively:

$\Delta V = 4\pi\cdot r^{2}\,\Delta r$

$\Delta V = 4\pi \cdot (20\,in)^{2}\cdot (0.03\,in)$

$\Delta V = 150.796\,in^{3}$

$\Delta A_{s} = 8\pi\cdot r \,\Delta r$

$\Delta A_{s} = 8\pi \cdot (20\,in)\cdot (0.03\,in)$

$\Delta A_{s} = 15.080\,in^{2}$

Relative errors are presented hereafter:

$\%V = \frac{\Delta V}{V}\times 100\%$

$\%V = \frac{150.796 \,in^{3}}{33510.322\,in^{3}}\times 100\,\%$

$\% V = 0.450\,\%$

$\% A_{s} = \frac{\Delta A_{s}}{A_{s}}\times 100\,\%$

$\% A_{s} = \frac{15.080\,in^{2}}{5026.548\,in^{2}}\times 100\,\%$

$\%A_{s} = 0.300\,\%$
