In your town, there is a field that is in the shape of a right triangle with the dimensions shown. (Round answers to the nearest

whole number).
The picture is a right triangle with 35 ft as the short side, x ft is the long side, and 80ft is the length of the hypotenuse.

a. Find the perimeter of the field.

About ____ feet.

b. You are going to plant dogwood seedlings about every ten feet around the field's edge. How many trees do you need?

About______trees.

c. If each dogwood seedling sells for $12, how much will the trees cost?

About______ dollars

Answer:

a. <em>about 187 feet</em>

b. <em>about 19 trees</em>

c. <em>about 228 dollars</em>

What we know:

  • 80 ft = hypotenuse
  • 35 ft = short side
  • x ft = long side
  • it is a <em>right</em> triangle

a. Find the perimeter of the field. <em>about 187 feet</em>

<u>solve for the missing side length ('x')</u>:

  1. 35^2 + x^2 = 80^2
  2. 1225 + x^2 = 6400
  3. x^2 = 5175
  4. x = 15sqrt(23) or approx. 71.92

<u>add all side lengths</u>:

  1. P = 80 + 35 + 71.92
  2. P = 115 + 72 (rounded)
  3. P = 187 ft

b. You are going to plant dogwood seedlings about every ten feet around the field's edge. How many trees do you need? <em>about 19 trees</em>

  1. divide perimeter by 10 187/10 = 18.7
  2. round 18.7 trees = about 19 trees

c. If each dogwood seedling sells for $12, how much will the trees cost? <em>about $228</em>

  1. multiply trees by cost of each $12 x 19 trees = $228
  2. about $228 for the trees

Two angles are complementary. If one of the angles measures 57 degrees, how much does the other angle measure?
cricket20 [7]
The answer is 33. Remember all complimentary angles equal 90 degrees so subtract 90 from 57 and the other angle is 33

Suppose that $12,724 is invested at an interest rate of 6.1% per year, compounded continuously. Find the exponential function th
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Exponential Function: A= P* e ^ {0.061t}

Balance after

t=1 $ 13,524.32

t=2 $ 14,374.99

t=5 $ 17,261.69

t=10 $ 23,417.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula used to find amount in the account after time t, given the interest rate is compounded continuously

A= Pe^r^t

where: P= principal amount or amount invested

r= interest rate

t= time

A= amount after time t

in our question we are given:

P=$12,724

r= 6.1% or 0.061

A= 12724 * e ^ (^0^.^0^6^1^)^t

The above equation is exponential function that describes the amount in the account after time t in years

Now, for t = 1

A= 12724 * e ^ {0.061 * 1}

A= $ 13,524.32

t=2

A= 12724 * e ^ {0.061 * 2}

A= $ 14,374.99

t= 5

A= 12724 * e ^ {0.061 * 5}

A= $ 17,261.69

t=10

A= 12724 * e ^ {0.061 * 10}

A= $ 23,417.64

A local service agency hires you to estimate the average annual income of all 700 families living in a four square block section
Digiron [165]

Answer:

The true estimate of  the average annual income of all 700 families living in a four square block section lies within the 92% confidence interval below

   34854.3  <  \mu < 35 745.7

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  sample size is  n =  50  

    The sample mean is \= x = \$ 35300

     The population standard deviation is  \sigma =  \$ 1800

From the question we are told the confidence level is  92% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 92 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.08

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.751

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

      E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }

=>   E = 1.751  *  \frac{1800 }{\sqrt{50} }

=>   E =  445.7

Generally 92% confidence interval is mathematically represented as  

      \= x -E <  \mu <  \=x  +E

=> 35 300 -445.7 <  \mu < 35 300 + 445.7

=> 34854.3  <  \mu < 35 745.7

So the true estimate of  the average annual income of all 700 families living in a four square block section lies within the 92% confidence interval

In Exercises 1 and 2, find the equilibrium solutions of the differential equation specified.1) dy/dt = (y + 3)/(1 - y)2) dy/dt =
Aleks [24]

Answer:

1. Equilibrium solution: y= -3

2. Equilibrium solution y= ±1.414

Step-by-step explanation:

Thinking process:

The equilibrium solution can only be derived when \frac{dy}{dt}  = 0

1. Let's look at the first equation:

\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{(y+3)}{(1-y)}

equating \frac{dy}{dt}  = 0 to the expression \frac{(y+3)}{(1-y)} gives

y + 3 = 0

     y = -3

Therefore, the equilibrium solution occurs at y = -3

2. Let's look at the second solution:

\frac{dy}{dy} = \frac{(t^{2}- 1) (y^{2}-2) }{y^{2}-4 }

dividing each side by (t²-1) gives

1/(t²-1)\frac{dy}{dt} = (y²-2)/ (y²-4)

factorizing the right hand side gives:

at equilibrium:  \frac{dy}{dt}  = 0, then

y² - 2 = 0

solving for y gives y = ±√2

                                 = ±1.414
