Answer:

3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

When we enlarge or shrink an object, we perform a dilation. A dilation preserves the relationship between sides and the exact angle measure. This means the original and the enlargement are proportional and any missing lengths can be found through a proportion.

A proportion is an equation where two ratios or fractions are equal. The ratios or fractions compare like quantities. For example, we will compare height over length of the original rectangle to an equal ratio of height to length of the enlargement. Since we do not know height of the enlargement, we will use a variable to write:

$\frac{2}{9} =\frac{h}{13.5}$

I can now cross-multiply by multiplying numerator and denominator from each ratio.

$9h=2(23.5)\\19h=27$

I now solve for h by dividing by 9.

$\frac{9h}{9} =\frac{27}{9} \\h= 3$

The new height is 3 cm.

Answer:

a) 0.1496 = 14.96% probability that the demand will exceed 190 cfs during the early afternoon on a randomly selected day.

b) Capacity of 252.6 cubic feet per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

$f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}$

In which $\mu = \frac{1}{m}$ is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

$P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx$

Which has the following solution:

$P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}$

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

$P(X > x) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-\mu x}$

The operator of a pumping station has observed that demand for water during early afternoon hours has an approximately exponential distribution with mean 100 cfs (cubic feet per second).

This means that $m = 100, \mu = \frac{1}{100} = 0.01$

(a) Find the probability that the demand will exceed 190 cfs during the early afternoon on a randomly selected day. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

We have that:

$P(X > x) = e^{-\mu x}$

This is P(X > 190). So

$P(X > 190) = e^{-0.01*190} = 0.1496$

0.1496 = 14.96% probability that the demand will exceed 190 cfs during the early afternoon on a randomly selected day.

(b) What water-pumping capacity, in cubic feet per second, should the station maintain during early afternoons so that the probability that demand will exceed capacity on a randomly selected day is only 0.08?

This is x for which:

$P(X > x) = 0.08$

$e^{-0.01x} = 0.08$

$\ln{e^{-0.01x}} = \ln{0.08}$

$-0.01x = \ln{0.08}$

$x = -\frac{\ln{0.08}}{0.01}$

$x = 252.6$

Capacity of 252.6 cubic feet per second

I need help right now. report cards are coming in soon and i need to get my grades up

saul85 [17]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 5 = 2x + 5

3x - 5 + 5 = 2x + 5 + 5

3x = 2x + 10

3x - 2x = 2x - 2x + 10

1x = 10

x = 10

Please help, i’ll mark brainliest.

nalin [4]

Answer:

264 cu

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because you have to add it from all sides, the first prism is 144 cu and then the second one is, 120, and when you add both of those together you get 264

Thus the answer is....264

What is the value of x? What is the measure of

liraira [26]

Answer:

x is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Form the diagram, you can see that UV is parallel to TS, this means that <UVS = < UTS

Given

<UVS = 5x + 38

<UTS = 12x - 28

Since the sum of opposite angle of a quadrilateral is 180 degrees, hence;

5x + 38 + 12x - 28 = 180

Collect like terms

5x + 12x - 28 + 38 = 180

17x + 10 = 180

17x = 180-1-

17x = 170

x = 170/17

x = 10

hence the value of x is 10
