Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find an approximate value of x

Mathematics
1 answer:
kozerog [31]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypotenuse² =base² + altitude²

(3x + 4)² = (2x + 1)² + (3x)²

{Use (a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b²}

(3x)² + 2*3x+4 + 4² = (2x)² + 2*2x*1 + 1² + 9x²

9x² + 24x + 16 = 4x² + 4x + 1 + 9x²

9x² + 24x + 16 = 13x² + 4x + 1

0 = 13x² + 4x  + 1 - 9x²  - 24x - 16

13x² - 9x² + 4x - 24x +1 - 16 = 0

4x² - 20x - 15 = 0

a = 4 ; b =-20  ; c = -15

D = b² - 4ac  = (-20)² - 4*4*(-15) = 400 + 240 = 640

√D = √640 = 25.30

x=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt{D}}{2a} \ ; \ x=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt{D}}{2a}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{20+25.30}{2*4} \ ; \ x=\dfrac{20-25.30}{2*4}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{45.30}{8} \ ; \  x =\dfrac{-5.30}{8}\\\\

x = 5 .66   ; x = -0.66

Ignore x = -0.66 as length of a side cannot be negative

Answer : x = 5.66

Evaluate the expression
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

C) 960

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's expand the factorial.

n! = 1*2*3*4*...n

6! = 1*2*3*4*5*6

3!= 1*2*3

The given expression \frac{8. 6!}{3!} \\

= \frac{8.1.2.3.4.5.6 }{1.2.3}

Canceling out the common terms, we get

= \frac{8.4.5.6}{1} \\

= 8.4.5.6                     [here . represents multiplication]

= 960

Answer: C) 960

Thank you.

According to an NRF survey conducted by BIGresearch, the average family spends about $237 on electronics (computers, cell phones
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

(a) Probability that a family of a returning college student spend less than $150 on back-to-college electronics is 0.0537.

(b) Probability that a family of a returning college student spend more than $390 on back-to-college electronics is 0.0023.

(c) Probability that a family of a returning college student spend between $120 and $175 on back-to-college electronics is 0.1101.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that according to an NRF survey conducted by BIG research, the average family spends about $237 on electronics in back-to-college spending per student.

Suppose back-to-college family spending on electronics is normally distributed with a standard deviation of $54.

Let X = <u><em>back-to-college family spending on electronics</em></u>

SO, X ~ Normal(\mu=237,\sigma^{2} =54^{2})

The z score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;

                                 Z  =  \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean family spending = $237

           \sigma = standard deviation = $54

(a) Probability that a family of a returning college student spend less than $150 on back-to-college electronics is = P(X < $150)

        P(X < $150) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{150-237}{54} ) = P(Z < -1.61) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.61)

                                                             = 1 - 0.9463 = <u>0.0537</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.61 in the z table which has an area of 0.9463.

(b) Probability that a family of a returning college student spend more than $390 on back-to-college electronics is = P(X > $390)

        P(X > $390) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} > \frac{390-237}{54} ) = P(Z > 2.83) = 1 - P(Z \leq 2.83)

                                                             = 1 - 0.9977 = <u>0.0023</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.83 in the z table which has an area of 0.9977.

(c) Probability that a family of a returning college student spend between $120 and $175 on back-to-college electronics is given by = P($120 < X < $175)

     P($120 < X < $175) = P(X < $175) - P(X \leq $120)

     P(X < $175) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{175-237}{54} ) = P(Z < -1.15) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.15)

                                                         = 1 - 0.8749 = 0.1251

     P(X < $120) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{120-237}{54} ) = P(Z < -2.17) = 1 - P(Z \leq 2.17)

                                                         = 1 - 0.9850 = 0.015

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.15 and x = 2.17 in the z table which has an area of 0.8749 and 0.9850 respectively.

Therefore, P($120 < X < $175) = 0.1251 - 0.015 = <u>0.1101</u>
