Answer:

See below:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! I hope you are having a nice day!

We can solve this problem in two steps; solving and theory.

I'll go and start off with the theory part!

Theory

We know that in geometry there are many types of triangles that have various different angles. With that, there are a few special triangles that people have made formulas for, one being a 30, 60, and 90 degree triangle.

The theorem states that the hypotenuse is $2x$ , the side opposite to 60 degrees is $x\sqrt{3}$ , and the bottom is $x$ .

Solving

We can solve this problem in a step, we just need to know what the theorem said and implement it here, since we know the values of the sides of the triangle, we can solve it by finding out the opposite side and applying the theorem rules.

If we look at the graph, we can see that the $x$ part of the side opp. of 60 degrees is 4, that means that $x$ would be double of 4, which is 8.

Therefore your answer would be: $x=8$

Cheers!

Using the equation Y= 2/3x - 5 describe how to create a system of linear equations with an infinite number of solutions.

just olya [345]

If you think about this equation as a line, then in order to have an infinite number of solutions is to have another equation that describes the same line.

So, for example 3y=2x-15 would be one of those.

Selena was comparing the flying speeds of different birds in science class. Which of the three birds flies fastest? Why?

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Option C. The robin flies fastest because its rate is 15 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the time in seconds

y ----> the distance in meters

The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time

In this problem, the slope or unit rate of the linear equation is the same that the speed

Robin's Flight

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

take two points from the table

(2,30) and (3,45)

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{45-30}{3-2}$

$m=\frac{15}{1}$

$m=15\frac{m}{sec}$

Cardinal's Flight

$y=10x$

$m=10\frac{m}{sec}$

Blue Jay's Flight

take two points from the graph

(0,0) and (2,20)

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{20-0}{2-0}$

$m=\frac{20}{2}$

$m=10\frac{m}{sec}$

Compare

The robin flies fastest because its rate is 15 m/s

Answer:

A data set consists of 2,2,3,4,5,5 and 7. Then, 20 is added to the data set. The new value will have the little effect on the median, but it will raise the mean significantly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, we all know that the measures of central tendency are:

Arithmetic Mean
Median
Mode
Geometric Mean
Harmonic Mean

Let us define Arithmetic Mean and Median.

Arithmetic mean is the sum of observations divided by the total number of observations. It is denoted by (x bar).

On the other hand, median of a distribution is that value of the variable which divides it into two equal parts.

For Arithmetic Mean:

According to the question, when data set consists 2,2,3,4,5,5 and 7, the arithmetic mean for the given data = 4

After adding 20 the given data set, the mean will be = 6

For median:

When data set consists of 2,2,3,4,5,5 and 7, the median value will be the middle value of the distribution i.e. = 4

After adding 20 to the given data set, the median will be = 4.5

Here we can say that 20 is an outlier for the given data set.

Since mean has the significant effect of the outlier because it is based on all values but the median has lesser effects of the outlier as it is based only on middle values. So whatever outlier is added to median, it will not show particular changes.

Thus , a data set consists of 2,2,3,4,5,5 and 7. Then, 20 is added to the data set. The new value will have little effect on median, but it will raise the mean significantly.
