Answer:

x = 2√2

y = 2√6

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the ratio of the two legs of the two smaller interior right triangles. (refer to attached diagrams for the triangles - I have outlined one in blue and the other in red)

These will be equal since the triangles are similar

shorter leg : longer leg

(blue triangle = red triangle)

⇒ x : 4 = 2 : x

⇒ x/4 = 2/x

⇒ x² = 8

⇒ x = √8

⇒ x = 2√2

Now we have x, we have the two legs of the right triangle with hypotenuse labelled y.

Using Pythagoras' Theorem a² + b² = c² (where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse)

⇒ 4² + (2√2)² = y²

⇒ y² = 24

⇒ y = √24

⇒ y = 2√6

Mariko has an 80: 1 scale drawing of the floor plan of her house. On the floor plan

Ivan

Answer:

16,771.56 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get to the result we will need to use the scale and the numbers that are provided of the dimensions of the room.

The dimensions of the room on the floor plan are 17.8 inches by 21.2 inches. We first need to multiply these numbers with the scale:

17.8 x 80 = 1,424

21.2 x 80 = 1,696

Now that we got the real measures we need to multiply these two values in order to get to a result as in how many square inches is the room:

1,424 x 1696 = 2,425,104

Now we need to convert the square inches into square feet to get to the final result:

1 ft² = 144 in²

2,425,104 / 144 = 16,771.56

So we have a result of 16,771.56 square feet.

A machine is designed to fill toothpaste tubes, on an average, with 5.8 ounces of toothpaste. The manufacturer does not want any

pochemuha

The correct hypothesis that can be set up for this test is given as

H0: mu = 5.8

Ha: mu ≠ 5.8

<h3>What is a statistical hypothesis?</h3>

This is the method of inference that is made in a statistical testing in order to know if the dat available is able to support the claims that have been made.

What the manufacturer wants to know is the average filling of the machine. If it is within 5.8 or not.

) Evaluating a polynomial limit analytically You should have learned by now the process for finding the derivative of a polynomi

wolverine [178]

Answer:

This code or is program to find a given value of derivative of a polynomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know already how to apply or make the procedures mathematically talking so this short program will eventually help you how to find logic.

// libraries

#include <stdio.h>

#include <conio.h>

//use to control floating elements

float poly(float a[], int, float);

//main

int main()

{

// Enter the degree of polynomial equation

float x, a[10], y1;

int deg, i;

printf("Enter the degree of polynomial equation: ");

scanf("%d", &deg);

printf("Ehter the value of x for which the equation is to be evaluated: ");

// Enter the coefficient of x to the power

scanf("%f", &x);

for(i=0; i<=deg; i++)

{

printf("Enter the coefficient of x to the power %d: ",i);

scanf("%f",&a[i]);

}

// The value of polynomial equation for the value of x

y1 = poly(a, deg, x);

printf("The value of polynomial equation for the value of x = %.2f is: %.2f",x,y1);

return 0;

}

/* function for finding the value of polynomial at some value of x */

float poly(float a[], int deg, float x)

{

float p;

int i;

p = a[deg];

for(i=deg;i>=1;i--)

{

p = (a[i-1] + x*p);

}

return p;

}
