Answer:

DB = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ ADB and Δ BDC are similar so ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{DB}{DC} = \frac{AD}{BD} , substitute values

\frac{DB}{17.8-5} = \frac{5}{BD}

\frac{DB}{12.8} = \frac{5}{BD} ( cross- multiply )

DB² = 64 ( take the square root of both sides )

DB = \sqrt{64} = 8

Which function is nonlinear?​
katrin2010 [14]
Algebraically, linear functions are polynomials with highest exponent equal to 1 or of the form y = c where c is constant. Nonlinear functions are all other functions. An example of a nonlinear function is y = x^2. This is nonlinear because, although it is a polynomial, its highest exponent is 2, not 1.

A credit card company has found that 0.1% of all transactions are fraudulent. It has developed a computer program that correctly
Serjik [45]
Given:
0.1% of all transactions are fraudulent
99% correct identification whether a transaction is fraudulent or not.
Scanned 5,000,000 transactions.

5,000,000 x 0.1% = 5,000 fraudulent transactions.

For me, there are 5,000 fraudulent transactions. This is based on the 0.1% rather than the 99%. Because the problem clearly states that the 0.1% of ALL transaction is identified as fraudulent. The 99% of the computer program only deals with the correct identification of the transaction as either fraudulent or not. For me, it is not a clear measure of the true number of fraudulent transactions.
