Answer:

To prove the congruence between two triangles there are several postulates, that can be applied depending on the congruent parts of the triangles.

The postulates are:

SAS (Side-Angle-Side): This postulate states that if two triangles have two corresponding sides congruent and one corresponding angle congruent, we can conclude that those triangles are completely congruent.

ASA (Angle-Side-Angle): This postulate states that if two triangles have two corresponding angles congruent and one corresponding side congruent, then those triangles are congruent.

SSS (Side-Side-Side): This postulate states that if two triangles have all three corresponding sides congruent, then triangles are congruent.

AAS (Angle-Angle-Side): If two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent and one pair of corresponding sides is congruent, then both triangle are congruent each other.

HL (Hypothenuse-Leg): this postulate is applied when we have right angles. It states that two right triangles are congruent if they have one pair of corresponding leg congruent, and the hypothenuses are also congruent. We could conclude that those right triangles are congruent.

From these postulate, we can demonstrate the congruence between two triangles. Then, from that congruence, we deduct the congruence between each corresponding parts of those triangles. For example, if we demonstrate the congruence by AAS, we deduct that the third angle is also congruent, and the other two sides are also congruent.

Complete Question:

Each night you total the day's sales and the total volume of ice cream sold in your shop. You notice that when an employee named Ben works, the mean price of the ice cream sold is $2.30 per pint with a standard deviation of $0.05. On nights when an employee named Jerry works, the mean price of the ice cream sold is $2.25 per pint with a standard deviation of $0.35. Which employee likely receives more complaints that his servings are too small? Explain.

Answer:

The employee that likely receives more complaints that his servings are too small is Jerry.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data:

Ben's mean price of ice cream sold = $2.30 per pint

Ben's mean price has a standard deviation = $0.05 (2.2%)

Jerry's mean price of ice cream sold = $2.25 per pint

Jerry's mean price has a standard deviation = $0.35 (15.5%)

b) Whereas the mean price of Ben's ice cream is $2.30, Jerry's mean price is less by $0.05, more than 20%. On the other hand, the standard deviation of Ben's mean price is $0.05 (about 2.2% variation), while Jerry's is $0.35 representing about 15.6% variation. This means that the variations in Jerry's price are far too much when compared to Ben's.

c) Percentages of Variations:

Ben = $0.05/$2.30 * 100 = 2.2%

Jerry = $0.35/$2.25 * 100 = 15.6%

The graph of Fx), shown below, resembles the graph of G(x) = x2, but it has

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

F(x) = -3(x + 2)² - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the picture attached, the graph is shown.

F(x) has the form a(x - h)² + k, where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola. We can see in the graph that the vertex is located at (-2, -2), then F(x) = a(x + 2)² - 2. If a > 0 the parabola opens upward, if a < 0 the parabola opens downward. We can see in the graph that the parabola opens downward, then the correct answer is F(x) = -3(x + 2)² - 2
