Mathematics
1 answer:
Stels [109]2 years ago

Answer:

x=5,\\AC=14

Step-by-step explanation:

Since one triangle is inscribed in another, the two triangles are similar. As marked in the diagram, the sides of the larger triangle are exactly two times larger than the corresponding sides of the smaller triangle.

Therefore, we have:

2(x+2)=4x-6,\\2x+4=4x-6,\\10=2x,\\x=\boxed{5}

Since AC is marked by 4x-6:

AC=4(5)-6,\\AC=20-6,\\AC=\boxed{14}

Please help: linear algebra problem. (Linear combinations)
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&7\\5&-8\\3&-9\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}c\\d\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-16\\3\\-15\end{array}\right]

This tells us that:

A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&7\\5&-8\\3&-9\end{array}\right]

b=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-16\\3\\-15\end{array}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are saying we have scalars, c and d, such that:

c\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5\\5\\ 3\end{array}\right]+d\left[\begin{array}{ccc}7\\-8\\-9\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-16\\3\\-15\end{array}\right].

So we want to find a way to express this as:

Ax=b where x is the scalar vector, \left[\begin{array}{ccc}c\\d\end{array}\right].

So we can write this as:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&7\\5&-8\\3&-9\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}c\\d\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-16\\3\\-15\end{array}\right]

please help me with this question! i will give 40 points and brainliest! please help with answer and explanation. thanks you so

Answer:

to find the sale price, you need to find what 34% of 82 is.

82 x 0.34 = 27.88

subtract that from the original price

82 - 27.88 = $54.12

you could also multiply 82 by (1 - .34) to get the same answer

82 x (.66) = $54.12

sale price is $54.12

hope this helps:)

1. How many solitions does this equation have -4(5-3x)=12x+20
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

1. no solutions

2. one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

1. -4(5-3x)=12x+20

-20+12x=12x+20

-40+12x=12x

-40=0?????

So no solutions.

2. 3x+7(x+1)=2(6x+5)+2

3x+7x+7=12x+10+2

10x+7=12x+12

-2x+7=12

-2x=5

x=-5/2

So one solution.

Use the given information to find the p​-value. ​Also, use a 0.05 significance level and state the conclusion about the null hyp
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

We can assume that the statistic is z_{calc}=0.78

p_v = 2* P(z>0.78) = 0.435

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the true proportion of interest is not different from 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is equal to 3/5 or not.:  

Null hypothesis:p=3/5  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 3/5  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

Calculate the statistic  

We can assume that the statistic is z_{calc}=0.78

Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:

p_v = 2* P(z>0.78) = 0.435

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the true proportion of interest is not different from 3/5
