Answer:

60 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the actual time be x, then:

x - 0.25x = 45

0.75x = 45

x = 45/0.75

= 60 days.

Zx and Zy are supplementary angles. Zy measures 108°,
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

72°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Zy = 108°

Zx = ?

We know

Zx + Zy = 180° {being supplementary angles }

Zx + 108° = 180°

Zx = 180° - 108°

Zx = 72°

Hope it will help :)

The table of values represents a quadratic function. What is the average rate of change for f(x) from x = 0 to x = 10 ? Enter yo
Elena-2011 [213]
By definition we have that the average rate of change is given by:
 AVR = (f (x2) - f (x1)) / (x2 - x1)
 Substituting the values we have:
 AVR = (204 - (-6)) / (10 - 0)
 Rewriting we have:
 AVR = (204 + 6) / (10 - 0)
 AVR = 210/10
 AVR = 21
 Answer:
 
the average rate of change for f (x) from x = 0 to x = 10 is:
 
AVR = 21

Suppose compact fluorescent light bulbs last, on average, 11,500 hours. The distribution is normal and the standard deviation is
juin [17]

Answer:

2.275%

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do here is to calculate the z-score

Mathematically;

z-score = (x-mean)/SD

from the question, x = 12,300 hours , mean = 11,500 hours while Standard deviation(SD) = 400 hours

Plugging the values we have;

z-score = (12,300-11,500)/400 = 800/400 = 2

Now, we want to calculate P(z ≤ 2)

This is so because we are calculating within a particular value

To calculate this, we use the z-score table.

Mathematically;

P(z ≤ 2) = 1 - P(z > 2) = 1 - 0.97725 = 0.02275

To percentage = 2.275%

Find x so that the points (x,x+1), (x+2,x+3) and (x+3,2x+4) form a right-angled triangle.
azamat

Let <em>a</em>, <em>b</em>, and <em>c</em> be vectors each starting at the origin and terminating at the points (<em>x</em>, <em>x</em> + 1), (<em>x</em> + 2, <em>x</em> + 3), and (<em>x</em> + 3, 2<em>x</em> + 4), respectively.

Then the vectors <em>a</em> - <em>b</em>, <em>a</em> - <em>c</em>, and <em>b</em> - <em>c</em> are vectors that point in directions parallel to each of the legs formed by the triangle with these points as its vertices.

If this triangle is to contain a right angle, then exactly one of these pairs of vectors must be orthogonal. In other words, one of the following must be true:

(<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) • (<em>a</em> - <em>c</em>) = 0

<em>or</em>

(<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) • (<em>b</em> - <em>c</em>) = 0

<em>or</em>

(<em>a</em> - <em>c</em>) • (<em>b</em> - <em>c</em>) = 0

We have

<em>a</em> - <em>b</em> = (<em>x</em>, <em>x</em> + 1) - (<em>x</em> + 2, <em>x</em> + 3) = (-2, -2)

<em>a</em> - <em>c</em> = (<em>x</em>, <em>x</em> + 1) - (<em>x</em> + 3, 2<em>x</em> + 4) = (-3, -<em>x</em> - 3)

<em>b</em> - <em>c</em> = (<em>x</em> + 2, <em>x</em> + 3) - (<em>x</em> + 3, 2<em>x</em> + 4) = (-1, -<em>x</em> - 1)

Case 1: If (<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) • (<em>a</em> - <em>c</em>) = 0, then

(-2, -2) • (-3, -<em>x</em> - 3) = (-2)×(-3) + (-2)×(-<em>x</em> - 3) = 2<em>x</em> + 12 = 0   ==>   <em>x</em> = -6

which would make <em>a</em> - <em>c</em> = (-3, 3) and <em>b</em> - <em>c</em> = (-1, 5), and their dot product is not zero. Then the triangles vertices are at the points (-6, -5), (-4, -3), and (-3, -8).

Case 2: If (<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) • (<em>b</em> - <em>c</em>) = 0, then

(-2, -2) • (-1, -<em>x</em> - 1) = (-2)×(-1) + (-2)×(-<em>x</em> - 1) = 2<em>x</em> + 4 = 0   ==>   <em>x</em> = -2

which would make <em>a</em> - <em>c</em> = (-3, -1) and <em>b</em> = (-1, 1), and their dot product is also not zero. The vertices are the points (-2, -1), (0, 1), and (1, 0).

Case 3: If (<em>a</em> - <em>c</em>) • (<em>b</em> - <em>c</em>) = 0, then

(-3, -<em>x</em> - 3) • (-1, -<em>x</em> - 1) = (-3)×(-1) + (-<em>x</em> - 3)×(-<em>x</em> - 1) = <em>x</em> ² + 4<em>x</em> + 6 = 0

but the solutions to <em>x</em> here are non-real, so we throw out this case.

So there are two possible values of <em>x</em> that make a right triangle, <em>x</em> = -6 and <em>x</em> = -2.
