Answer:

11.28m

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the height of the spire is shown below:

let us assume the height of the spire be x

Now

For triangle ABD

Tan 43 degrees = h ÷ x

x = h × cot 43 degrees

= 1.07236 h

For triangle ABC

tan 15 degrees = h ÷ (30 + x)

0.2679 = h ÷ 30 + 1.07236h

8.038 + 0.28728 h = h

h = 11.28m

Pepsi [2]

From symmetry of sin(x) about pi/2, we know that sin(x)=sin(pi-x).
Therefore
sin(x)+sin(pi-x)=sin(x)+sin(x)=2sin(x).

$(1)\ (-xy)^3(xz)$

Expand

$(-xy)^3(xz) = (-x)^3* y^3*(xz)$

$(-xy)^3(xz) = -x^3* y^3*xz$

Rewrite as:

$(-xy)^3(xz) = -x^3*x* y^3*z$

Apply law of indices

$(-xy)^3(xz) = -x^4y^3z$

$(2)\ (\frac{1}{3}mn^{-4})^2$

Expand

$(\frac{1}{3}mn^{-4})^2 =(\frac{1}{3})^2m^2n^{-4*2}$

$(\frac{1}{3}mn^{-4})^2 =\frac{1}{9}m^2n^{-8$

$(3)\ (\frac{1}{5x^4})^{-2}$

Apply negative power rule of indices

$(\frac{1}{5x^4})^{-2}= (5x^4)^2$

Expand

$(\frac{1}{5x^4})^{-2}= 5^2x^{4*2}$

$(\frac{1}{5x^4})^{-2}= 25x^{8$

$(4)\ -x(2x^2 - 4x) - 6x^2$

Expand

$-x(2x^2 - 4x) - 6x^2 = -2x^3 + 4x^2 - 6x^2$

Evaluate like terms

$-x(2x^2 - 4x) - 6x^2 = -2x^3 -2x^2$

Factor out x^2

$-x(2x^2 - 4x) - 6x^2 = (-2x-2)x^2$

Factor out -2

$-x(2x^2 - 4x) - 6x^2 = -2(x+1)x^2$

$(5)\ \sqrt{\frac{4y}{3y^2}}$

Divide by y

$\sqrt{\frac{4y}{3y^2}} = \sqrt{\frac{4}{3y}}$

Split

$\sqrt{\frac{4y}{3y^2}} = \frac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{3y}}$

$\sqrt{\frac{4y}{3y^2}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3y}}$

Rationalize

$\sqrt{\frac{4y}{3y^2}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3y}} * \frac{\sqrt{3y}}{\sqrt{3y}}$

$\sqrt{\frac{4y}{3y^2}} = \frac{2\sqrt{3y}}{3y}$

$(6)\ \frac{8}{3 + \sqrt 3}$

Rationalize

$\frac{8}{3 + \sqrt 3} = \frac{3 - \sqrt 3}{3 - \sqrt 3}$

$\frac{8}{3 + \sqrt 3} = \frac{8(3 - \sqrt 3)}{(3 + \sqrt 3)(3 - \sqrt 3)}$

Apply different of two squares to the denominator

$\frac{8}{3 + \sqrt 3} = \frac{8(3 - \sqrt 3)}{3^2 - (\sqrt 3)^2}$

$\frac{8}{3 + \sqrt 3} = \frac{8(3 - \sqrt 3)}{9 - 3}$

$\frac{8}{3 + \sqrt 3} = \frac{8(3 - \sqrt 3)}{6}$

Simplify

$\frac{8}{3 + \sqrt 3} = \frac{4(3 - \sqrt 3)}{3}$

$(7)\ \sqrt{40} - \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{90}$

Expand

$\sqrt{40} - \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{90} =\sqrt{4*10} - \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{9*10}$

Split

$\sqrt{40} - \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{90} =\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{10} - \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{9}*\sqrt{10}$

Evaluate all roots

$\sqrt{40} - \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{90} =2*\sqrt{10} - \sqrt{10} + 3*\sqrt{10}$

$\sqrt{40} - \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{90} =2\sqrt{10} - \sqrt{10} + 3\sqrt{10}$

$\sqrt{40} - \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{90} =4\sqrt{10}$

$(8)\ \frac{r^2 + r - 6}{r^2 + 4r -12}$

Expand

$\frac{r^2 + r - 6}{r^2 + 4r -12}=\frac{r^2 + 3r-2r - 6}{r^2 + 6r-2r -12}$

Factorize each

$\frac{r^2 + r - 6}{r^2 + 4r -12}=\frac{r(r + 3)-2(r + 3)}{r(r + 6)-2(r +6)}$

Factor out (r+3) in the numerator and (r + 6) in the denominator

$\frac{r^2 + r - 6}{r^2 + 4r -12}=\frac{(r -2)(r + 3)}{(r - 2)(r +6)}$

Cancel out r - 2

$\frac{r^2 + r - 6}{r^2 + 4r -12}=\frac{r + 3}{r +6}$

$(9)\ \frac{4x + 8}{x^2} \cdot \frac{x}{x^2 - 5x - 14}$

Cancel out x

$\frac{4x + 8}{x^2} \cdot \frac{x}{x^2 - 5x - 14} = \frac{4x + 8}{x} \cdot \frac{1}{x^2 - 5x - 14}$

Expand the numerator of the 2nd fraction

$\frac{4x + 8}{x^2} \cdot \frac{x}{x^2 - 5x - 14} = \frac{4x + 8}{x} \cdot \frac{1}{x^2 - 7x+2x - 14}$

Factorize

$\frac{4x + 8}{x^2} \cdot \frac{x}{x^2 - 5x - 14} = \frac{4x + 8}{x} \cdot \frac{1}{x(x - 7)+2(x - 7)}$

Factor out x - 7

$\frac{4x + 8}{x^2} \cdot \frac{x}{x^2 - 5x - 14} = \frac{4x + 8}{x} \cdot \frac{1}{(x + 2)(x - 7)}$

Factor out 4 from 4x + 8

$\frac{4x + 8}{x^2} \cdot \frac{x}{x^2 - 5x - 14} = \frac{4(x + 2)}{x} \cdot \frac{1}{(x + 2)(x - 7)}$

Cancel out x + 2

$\frac{4x + 8}{x^2} \cdot \frac{x}{x^2 - 5x - 14} = \frac{4}{x} \cdot \frac{1}{(x - 7)}$

$\frac{4x + 8}{x^2} \cdot \frac{x}{x^2 - 5x - 14} = \frac{4}{x(x - 7)}$

$(10)\ (3x^3 + 15x^2 -21x) \div 3x$

Factorize

$(3x^3 + 15x^2 -21x) \div 3x = 3x(x^2 + 5x -7) \div 3x$

Cancel out 3x

$(3x^3 + 15x^2 -21x) \div 3x = x^2 + 5x -7$

$(11)\ \frac{m}{6m + 6} - \frac{1}{m+1}$

Take LCM

$\frac{m}{6m + 6} - \frac{1}{m+1} = \frac{m(m + 1) - 1(6m + 6)}{(6m + 6)(m + 1)}$

Expand

$\frac{m}{6m + 6} - \frac{1}{m+1} = \frac{m^2 + m- 6m - 6}{(6m + 6)(m + 1)}$

$\frac{m}{6m + 6} - \frac{1}{m+1} = \frac{m^2 - 5m - 6}{(6m + 6)(m + 1)}$

$(12)\ \frac{\frac{1}{y - 3}}{\frac{2}{y^2 - 9}}$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{\frac{1}{y - 3}}{\frac{2}{y^2 - 9}} = \frac{1}{y - 3} \div \frac{2}{y^2 - 9}$

Express as multiplication

$\frac{\frac{1}{y - 3}}{\frac{2}{y^2 - 9}} = \frac{1}{y - 3} * \frac{y^2 - 9}{2}$

Express y^2 - 9 as y^2 - 3^2

$\frac{\frac{1}{y - 3}}{\frac{2}{y^2 - 9}} = \frac{1}{y - 3} * \frac{y^2 - 3^2}{2}$

Express as difference of two squares

$\frac{\frac{1}{y - 3}}{\frac{2}{y^2 - 9}} = \frac{1}{y - 3} * \frac{(y - 3)(y+3)}{2}$

$\frac{\frac{1}{y - 3}}{\frac{2}{y^2 - 9}} = \frac{1}{1} * \frac{(y+3)}{2}$

$\frac{\frac{1}{y - 3}}{\frac{2}{y^2 - 9}} = \frac{y+3}{2}$

Steroids, which are dangerous, are sometimes used to improve athletic performance. A study by the National Athletic Trainers Ass

Yanka [14]

Answer:

At 95% confidence level, the difference between the proportion of freshmen using steroids in Illinois and the proportion of seniors using steroids in Illinois is -7.01135×10⁻³ < $\hat{p}_1-\hat{p}_2$ < 1.237

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are required to construct the 95% confidence interval of the difference between two proportions

The formula for the confidence interval of the difference between two proportions is as follows;

$\hat{p}_1-\hat{p}_2\pm z^{*}\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}_1\left (1-\hat{p}_1 \right )}{n_{1}}+\frac{\hat{p}_2\left (1-\hat{p}_2 \right )}{n_{2}}}$

Where:

$\hat{p}_1 = \frac{34}{1679}$

$\hat{p}_2 = \frac{24}{1366}$

n₁ = 1679

n₂ = 1366

$z_{\alpha /2}$ at 95% confidence level = 1.96

Plugging in the values, we have;

$\frac{34}{1679}- \frac{24}{1366} \pm 1.96 \times \sqrt{\frac{ \frac{34}{1679}\left (1- \frac{34}{1679}\right )}{1679}+\frac{\frac{24}{1366} \left (1-\frac{24}{1366} \right )}{1366}}$

Which gives;

-7.01135×10⁻³ < $\hat{p}_1-\hat{p}_2$ < 1.237.

At 95% confidence level, the difference between the proportion of freshmen using steroids in Illinois and the proportion of seniors using steroids in Illinois = -7.01135×10⁻³ < $\hat{p}_1-\hat{p}_2$ < 1.237.

Answer:

-14

Step-by-step explanation:

The like terms in this equation is y^2 and -7y^2 so combining the two the equation becomes:

xy-6y^2

Then we substitute the values in:

5×2-6×2^2 = -14
