Calculate the value of x in each case​

Mathematics
1 answer:
pav-90 [236]2 years ago
5 0

Exact answer: x = \frac{\sqrt{601}}{2}\\\\

Approximate answer: x \approx 12.2577

====================================================

How to find the answer:

Focus on the largest triangle. It appears to be a right triangle. If so, then we can use the pythagorean theorem to get the following:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\\\a^2 + 12^2 = 13^2\\\\a^2 + 144 = 169\\\\a^2 = 169 - 144\\\\a^2 = 25\\\\a = \sqrt{25}\\\\a = 5

The horizontal leg of the largest right triangle is 5 units long.

The identical single tickmarks tell us that the horizontal leg is cut into two smaller pieces of equal length.

Each smaller piece is 5/2 = 2.5 units long.

------------------------------

Now focus on the smaller skinny right triangle with legs a = 2.5, b = 12 and hypotenuse c = x.

Use the pythagorean theorem again to find the hypotenuse x.

2.5^2 + 12^2 = c^2\\\\6.25 + 144 = x^2\\\\150.25 = x^2\\\\x^2 = 150.25\\\\x = \sqrt{150.25}\\\\x = \sqrt{\frac{601}{4}}\\\\x = \frac{\sqrt{601}}{\sqrt{4}}\\\\x = \frac{\sqrt{601}}{2}\\\\x \approx 12.2577

How do you find measure a and c
astra-53 [7]
You can use the measure of 112 on the similar shape to find b, as they are same side exterior angles. From there, you can find both a and c, because a/b and b/c are supplementary angles. 

a = 68 degrees

c = 68 degrees

When we test Upper H 0​: muequals0 against Upper H Subscript a​: mugreater than​0, we get a​ P-value of 0.03. a. What would the
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

(a) The null hypothesis will be rejected.

(b) Type I error

(c) The null hypothesis will not be rejected. The error is type II error.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis provided is:

H_{0}: \mu = 0\\ H_{a} : \mu > 0

The p-value of the test obtained is 0.03

(a)

Decision rule for hypothesis testing, based on p-value, states that if the p-value is less than the significance level (α) then the null hypothesis is rejected and vice versa.

The significance level is α = 0.10

Then,

p-value = 0.03 < \alpha  = 0.10

Thus, the null hypothesis will be rejected.

Conclusion:

The null hypothesis is rejected stating that the value of μ is more than 0.

(b)

If the decision in​ (a) is an​ error, i.e. the null hypothesis is rejected when in fact it is true, this type of error is known as type I error.

(c)

The significance level is α = 0.01

Then,

p-value = 0.03 > \alpha  = 0.01

Thus, the null hypothesis will not be rejected.

Conclusion:

The null hypothesis was not rejected stating that the value of μ is 0.

If this decision is an error, i.e. the null hypothesis was not rejected when in fact it is false, this type of error is known as type II error.

Write the equation in slope-intercept form. What are the slope and y-intercept?
Schach [20]
Slope intercept form is y=mx+b

Y= y intercept
M = slope
B = x intercept

-2x-11y= 5              get the y by itself
-11y = 2x + 5            divide by -11



y = -2/11x + 5/11

slope is -2/11

Find the slope of the line using the points (0,4) and (-3,6)
Anna007 [38]

slope = - \frac{2}{3}

calculate the slope m using the gradient formula

m= (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, 6)

m = \frac{6-4}{-3-0} = \frac{2}{-3} = - \frac{2}{3}
