Point E lies within rectangle ABCD. If AE = 6, BE = 7, and CE = 8, what is the length of DE?
Answer:
[tex]\sqrt{51}[/tex] units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Point E is inside a rectangle ABCD.
Please refer to the attached image for the given statement and dimensions.
Given that:
Sides AE = 6 units
BE = 7 units and
CE = 8 units
To find:
DE = ?
Solution:
For a point E inside the rectangle the following property hold true:
[tex]AE^2+CE^2=BE^2+DE^2[/tex]
Putting the given values to find the value of DE:
[tex]6^2+8^2=7^2+DE^2\\\Rightarrow 26+64=49+DE^2\\\Rightarrow DE^2=100-49\\\Rightarrow DE^2=51\\\Rightarrow \bold{DE = \sqrt{51}\ units}[/tex]
Cases Prudence has a special (cubic) die. The values on its face are the integers from 1 to 6, but they are not arranged ae in a normal die. When Prudence first tosses the die, the sum of the values on the four side faces is 15. In her second toss, the sum of these values is 12. Find what value appears in the face opposite 6 on Prudence’s special die. (Hint: what are possible values for the top and bottom face when the sum of the side faces is 12).
Answer: 3
Step-by-step explanation:
first, we know that:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +5 +6 = 21
Now, which two numbers we should take out in order to have 15?
we can remove the 2 and the 4, or the 1 and the 5.
so here we have two possibilities, 2 and 4 are opposite, or 1 and 5 are opposite (they are located in opposite faces of the die)
in the other arrange, we have that removing two numbers we should get 12.
in order to reach 12, we should remove two numbers that add 9 together.
those can be 4 and 5, or 6 and 3.
Now, notice that in the first restriction we have that:
Or 2 and 4 are opposite,
or 1 and 5 are opposite.
So 4 and 5 can never be opposite, so we should have that 6 and 3 are opposite.
Then we can affirm that the value that appears in the face opposite to the 6, is the 3.
In designing an experiment involving a treatment applied to 4 test subjects, researchers plan to use a simple random sample of 4 subjects selected from a pool of 31 available subjects. (Recall that with a simple random sample, all samples of the same size have the same chance of being selected.) Answer the question below.
What is the probability of each simple random sample in thiscase?
Answer:
The probability is [tex]p(n ) = 3.18*10^{-5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population size is N = 31
The sample size n = 4
Generally the number of way by which the n can be selected from N is mathematically represented as
[tex]\left N} \atop {}} \right. C_n = \frac{N! }{(N-n)!n!}[/tex]
=> [tex]\left 31} \atop {}} \right. C_4 = \frac{31! }{(31-4)!4!}[/tex]
=> [tex]\left 31} \atop {}} \right. C_4 = \frac{31 * 30 * 29 * 28* 27! }{27! * 4*3 * 2 * 1 }[/tex]
=> [tex]\left 31} \atop {}} \right. C_4 = \frac{ 755160 }{ 24}[/tex]
=> [tex]\left 31} \atop {}} \right. C_4 = 31465[/tex]
The number of ways of selecting a particular sample size is is [tex]k = 1[/tex]
Therefore the probability of each simple random sample in this case is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]p(n ) = \frac{1}{31465}[/tex]
[tex]p(n ) = 3.18*10^{-5}[/tex]

Answer:
[tex]\large \boxed{{y=18}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]1(y+3)=2(y+-4)+- 7[/tex]
Expand brackets.
[tex]y+3=2y-8+- 7[/tex]
Simplify.
[tex]y+3=2y-15[/tex]
Add -y and 15 on both sides.
[tex]y+3-y+15=2y-15-y+15[/tex]
Simplify.
[tex]3+15=2y-y[/tex]
[tex]18=y[/tex]
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
● 1 (y+3) = 2 (y+(-4) )+ (-7)
When you multiply by 1 you get the same result.
● y+3 = 2 (y+(-4))+(-7)
When you have a + sign with a - sign write -.
● y+3 = 2(y-4)-7
Multiply 2 by (y-4) and simplify
● y+3 = (2y-8)-7
● y+3 = 2y -8-7
● y+3 = 2y -15
Add 15 to both sides
● y +3+15 = 2y-15 +15
● y + 18 = 2y
Sibstract y from both sides
● y +18 - y = 2y -y
● 18 = y

A. 70.69
B. 50.2
C. 39.8
D. 19.4
Answer:
A. 70.69 is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Two lines:
[tex]3x - 4y + 5 = 0 \\2x + 3y -1 = 0[/tex]
To find:
Angle between the two lines = ?
Solution:
Acute Angle between two lines can be found by using the below formula:
[tex]tan \theta = |\dfrac{(m_1 - m_2)}{ (1 + m_1m_2)}|[/tex]
Where [tex]\theta[/tex] is the acute angle between two lines.
[tex]m_1, m_2[/tex] are the slopes of two lines.
Slope of a line represented by [tex]ax+by+c=0[/tex] is given as:
[tex]m = -\dfrac{a}{b }[/tex]
So,
[tex]m_1 = -\dfrac{3}{- 4} = \dfrac{3}{4}[/tex]
[tex]m_2 = -\dfrac{2}{ 3}[/tex]
Putting the values in the formula:
[tex]tan \theta = |\dfrac{(\dfrac{3}{4}- (-\dfrac{2}{3}))}{ (1 + \dfrac{3}{4}\times (-\dfrac{2}{3 }))}|\\\Rightarrow tan \theta = |\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{2}{3}}{ (1 -\dfrac{1}{2})}|\\\Rightarrow tan \theta = |\dfrac{\dfrac{17}{12}}{ \dfrac{1}{2}}|\\\Rightarrow tan \theta = \dfrac{17}{6}\\\Rightarrow \theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{17}{6})\\\Rightarrow \theta = \bold{70.69^\circ}[/tex]
So, correct answer is A. 70.69

Quadrilateral RSTV is dilated with respect to the origin by a scale factor of 1.5 to produce quadrilateral R'S'T'V' . Vertex R is located at (6, -9). Which ordered pair represents R' after the dilation?
Answer:
(9, -13.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
It's given in the question that a quadrilateral RSTV is dilated with a scale factor of 1.5 with respect to the origin to form R'S'T'V'.
Rule for dilation is,
(x, y) → (kx, ky)
where 'k' is the scale factor.
If vertex R of the quadrilateral is (6, -9),
By the given rule of dilation,
R(6, 9) → R'[(1.5 × 6), -(1.5 × 9)]
→ R'(9, -13.5)
Therefore, Option given in bottom right (9, -13.5) will be the answer.
log 7 (x^2 + 11) = log 7 15
Answer:
x = ±2
Step-by-step explanation:
log 7 (x^2 + 11) = log 7 15
We know that log a ( b) = log a(c) means b =c
x^2 + 11 = 15
Subtract 11 from each side
x^2 = 15-11
x^2 =4
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(x^2) =±sqrt(4)
x = ±2
If an image of a triangle is congruent to the pre-image, what is the scale factor of the dilation? 0.1 1 10
Answer:

Residents of four cities are able to vote in an upcoming regional election. A newspaper recently conducted a survey to gauge support for each of the two candidates. The results of the poll are shown in the two-way frequency table below.
Answer:
3 only
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the statement, "The two cities with the highest number of respondents, both show more support for candidate A." In the total column, the two highest number of respondents are 471 and 463 which represent Carsonville and Appleton. For Carsonville, the number of respondents who prefer candidate A is 205, which is less than the number of respondents who prefer candidate B, 266. Therefore, this statement is not true.
Consider the statement, "The number of people who support candidate B in Carsonville is twice the number of people who support candidate B in New Thomas." In the table, the number of people who support candidate B in Carsonville is observed to be 266 and the number of people who support candidate B in New Thomas is 138. Since 266 is not equal to twice 138, this statement is not true.
Consider the statement, "More residents of Center City responded to the poll than the number who responded from New Thomas." In the total column, it can be observed that 350 people responded to the poll in Center City and 318 people responded to the poll in New Thomas. Since, 350 is greater than 318, this statement is true.
Consider the statement, "Overall, more residents support candidate A than candidate B." The bottom row of the table represents the total number of responses for each candidate. The number of people supporting candidate A is 797, which is less than the number of people supporting candidate B, 805. So, this statement is not true.
Therefore, the true statement is III only.
More residents of the center city responded to the pole than the number who responded from New Thomas, which is the only correct option. Option B. is correct.
Data given in the table shows the data of elections between two candidates among the different cities.
What is Statistic?
Statistics is the study of mathematics that deals with relations between comprehensive data.
I.The two cities with the highest number of respondents both show more support for candidate A. This statement is false because carsonville is the second highest support for A but it does not show more support for candidate A.
II.The number of people who support candidate B in Carsonville is twice the number of people who support candidate B in New Thomas. It is false
III. More residents of Center City responded to the pole than the number who responded from New Thomas. It is true.
IV. Overall, more residents support candidate A than candidate B. it is also false.
Thus, more residents of the center city responded to the pole than the number who responded from New Thomas, which is the only correct option. Option B. is correct.

THE PRICE OF AN ITEM FROM $10 TO $17. WHAT WAS THE PERCENT INCREASE IN THE PRICE OF THE ITEM?
Answer:
70%
Step-by-step explanation:
The method to find out percentage increase is by subtracting the original price from the increased price and making it into a fractional form with the denominator as 10 (out of 100%). So it results to this.
(original price - increased price) / 10
(17 - 10) / 10 = 7/10
7/10 can be converted from its fractional form to 70% i.e.its percentage.

(a) Determine the critical value(s) for a right-tailed test of a population mean at the alpha = 0.10 level of significance with 15 degrees of freedom.
(b) Determine the critical value(s) for a left-tailed test of a population mean at the alpha = 0.01 level of significance based on a sample size of n = 20.
(c) Determine the critical value(s) for a two-tailed test of a population mean at the alpha = 0.05 level of significance based on a sample size of n = 14.
Answer:
(a) 1.341
(b) -2.539
(c) -2.160 and 2.160
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) We have to find the critical value(s) for a right-tailed test of a population mean at the alpha = 0.10 level of significance with 15 degrees of freedom.
Since the degrees of freedom are included here, so we will use t table here for a population mean test.
In the table there are two values given, one is the degrees of freedom and another is the value of P.
P is the level of significance at which the critical values are calculated.
So, here the degrees of freedom (n - 1) = 15 and the level of significance for a right-tailed test is 0.10, i.e. P = 10%
Now, looking in the t table with P = 10% and [tex]\nu[/tex] = 15, we get the critical value of 1.341.
(b) We have to find the critical value(s) for a left-tailed test of a population mean at the alpha = 0.01 based on a sample size of n = 20.
Since the degrees of freedom are included here, so we will use t table here for a population mean test.
In the table there are two values given, one is the degrees of freedom and another is the value of P.
P is the level of significance at which the critical values are calculated.
So, here the degrees of freedom (n - 1) = 20 - 1 = 19 and the level of significance for a left-tailed test is 0.01, i.e. P = 1%
Now, looking in the t table with P = 1% and [tex]\nu[/tex] = 19, we get the critical value of 2.539. But since it is a left-tailed test, so the critical value will be -2.539.
(c) We have to find the critical value(s) for a two-tailed test of a population mean at the alpha = 0.05 level of significance based on a sample size of n = 14.
Since the degrees of freedom are included here, so we will use t table here for a population mean test.
In the table there are two values given, one is the degrees of freedom and another is the value of P.
P is the level of significance at which the critical values are calculated.
So, here the degrees of freedom (n - 1) = 14 - 1 = 13 and the level of significance for a two-tailed test is [tex]\frac{0.05}{2}[/tex] is 0.025, i.e. P = 2.5%.
Now, looking in the t table with P = 2.5% and [tex]\nu[/tex] = 13, we get the critical value of -2.160 and 2.160 for a two-tailed test.

Kent Co. manufactures a product that sells for $60.00. Fixed costs are $285,000 and variable costs are $35.00 per unit. Kent can buy a new production machine that will increase fixed costs by $15,900 per year, but will decrease variable costs by $4.50 per unit. What effect would the purchase of the new machine have on Kent's break-even point in units?
0riginal break even point:
285000/ 60/35 = $166,250
New break even point = new fixed costs / ( selling price - variable cost/ selling price)
New break even point = 285,000 + 15,900. / ( 60-( 35-4.50)/60
300,900 / 60-30.50/60 = $612,000

the box plots shows the price for two different brands of shoes
Answer:
A. The interquartile range (IQR) for brand A, $10, is less than the IQR for brand B, $25.
Step-by-step explanation:
The most appropriate measure that can be used to compare the SPREAD of the data of the 2 brands plotted on a box plot, is the Interquartile range (IQR).
Interquartile range is the difference between Q3 and Q1.
Q3 is the value which lies at the end of the rectangular box, while the Q1 lies at the beginning of the box.
From the box plot given,
IQR for brand A = 80 - 70 = $10
IQR for brand B = 50 - 25 = $25
Therefore, the correct option is "A. The interquartile range (IQR) for brand A, $10, is less than the IQR for brand B, $25."

Solution:
First of all, let us understand perimeter, length and width of a rectangle.
Let ABCD be a rectangle. Please refer to the attached image.
Opposite sides of a rectangle are equal to each other.
AB = CD = Length
Let the length be [tex]l[/tex] m.
BC = DA = Width = 4 m
Perimeter of a closed image is equal to the sum of all the sides of the image.
So, perimeter of ABCD:
[tex]p = AB + BC + CD + DA \\\Rightarrow \bold{ p = 2 \times (Length +Width)}[/tex]
[tex]26 = 2 \times (l +4)\\\Rightarrow 2l =26-8\\\Rightarrow \bold{l = 9 m}[/tex]
The sum of two positive number is 6 times their difference. what is the reciprocal of the ratio of the larger number to the smaller?
let the numbers be a and b, a>b
a+b=6(a-b)
we need to find reciprocal of ratio of larger to smaller , which will be same as ratio of smaller to larger or b/a, let's call it x
divide the equation by a.
1+x=6(1-x)
on solving, x=5/7
