Answer:
x = 5√3 inchesStep-by-step explanation:
Since the triangle is a right angled triangle we can use Pythagoras theorem to find the missing side x
Using Pythagoras theorem we have
[tex] {a}^{2} = {b}^{2} + {c}^{2} [/tex]
where a is the hypotenuse
Substitute the values into the above formula
The hypotenuse is 10 inches
We have
[tex] {10}^{2} = {5}^{2} + {x}^{2} [/tex]
[tex] {x}^{2} = {10}^{2} - {5}^{2} [/tex]
[tex] {x}^{2} = 100 - 25[/tex]
[tex] {x}^{2} = 75[/tex]
We have the final answer as
x = 5√3 inchesHope this helps you

8(4k - 4) = -5k - 32
Answer:
k=0
Step-by-step explanation:
8(4k-4)=5k-32
32k-32=-5k-32
32k-32+32=-5k-32+32
32k=-5k
32k+5k=-5k+5k
37k=0
37k/37=0/37
k=0
Answer:
k=0
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for k, we need to first distribute the 8 through the parenthesis.
32k-32=-5k-32
Lets add 5k to both sides.
37k-32=-32
add 32 to both sides
37k=0
divide 37 from both sides

If an arrow is shot upward on Mars with a speed of 62 m/s, its height in meters t seconds later is given by y = 62t − 1.86t². (Round your answers to two decimal places.) Estimate the speed when t = 1. Can you please show me the steps to solve this?
Answer:
Approximately [tex]58.28\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
The velocity of an object is the rate at which its position changes. In other words, the velocity of an object is equal to the first derivative of its position, with respect to time.
Note that the arrow here is launched upwards. (Assume that the effect of wind on Mars is negligible.) There would be motion in the horizontal direction. The horizontal position of this arrow will stays the same. On the other hand, the vertical position of this arrow is the same as its height: [tex]y = 62\, t - 1.86\, t^2[/tex].
Apply the power rule to find the first derivative of this [tex]y[/tex] with respect to time [tex]t[/tex].
By the power rule:
the first derivative of [tex]t[/tex] (same as the first derivative of [tex]t^2[/tex] (same as [tex]t[/tex] to the second power) with respect toTherefore:
[tex]\begin{aligned}\frac{dy}{d t} &= \frac{d}{d t}\left[62 \, t - 1.86\, t^2\right] \\ &= 62\,\left(\frac{d}{d t}\left[t\right]\right) - 1.86\, \left(\frac{d}{d t}\left[t^2\right]\right) \\ &= 62 \times 1 - 1.86\times\left(2\, t) = 62 - 3.72\, t\end{aligned}[/tex].
In other words, the (vertical) velocity of this arrow at time [tex]t[/tex] would be [tex](62 - 3.72\, t)[/tex] meters per second.
Evaluate this expression for [tex]t = 1[/tex] to find the (vertical) velocity of this arrow at that moment: [tex]62 - 3.72 \times 1 =58.28[/tex].
Answer:
58.28 m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 62t - 1.86t²
Speed, S = dy/dt = 62 - 2(1.86)t
S = 62 - 3.72t
When t = 1
S = 62 - 3.72 = 58.28 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:
Sofia ordered sushi for a company meeting. They change plans and increase how many people will be at the meeting, so they need at least 100100100 pieces of sushi in total. Sofia had already ordered and paid for 242424 pieces of sushi, so she needs to order additional sushi. The sushi comes in rolls, and each roll contains 121212 pieces and costs \$8$8dollar sign, 8. Let RRR represent the number of additional rolls that Sofia orders.
Answer:
Sofia will order 7 more rolls of sushi (84 pieces) and pay $56
Step-by-step explanation:
They need at least 100 pieces of sushi
Sofia had ordered and paid for 24 pieces of sushi already
Sushi comes in rolls
Each roll=12 pieces at $8
R=additional rolls that Sofia orders
Additional sushi= Needed sushi - ordered sushi
=100-24
=76 pieces of sushi
Each roll has 12 pieces
76/12=6.33
Sofia has to order in rolls
So, she will order 7 more rolls of sushi of 12 pieces each
12*7=84 pieces
Recall, that they needed at least 100 pieces, so the number of pieces could be more than 100
If Sofia orders 84 pieces + the already ordered 24 pieces
Total pieces=108 pieces
She has paid for 24 pieces (3 rolls) at $8 per roll
7 rolls=$8*7
=$56

♡ The Step-By-Step Process! ♡
✦ || Sofia needs the sushi she's already ordered plus the additional sushi to be at least 100 pieces. We can represent this with an inequality whose structure looks something like this:
(sushi already ordered) + (additional sushi) [≤ or ≥] 100
Then, we can solve the inequality for R to find how many additional rolls Sofia needs to order. Sofia has already ordered and paid for 24 pieces. Each roll has 12 pieces, and R represents the number of additional rolls, so the number of additional pieces from these rolls is 12R. The number of pieces she's already ordered plus the additional pieces needs to be greater than or equal to 100 pieces. Since she can't order partial rolls, Sofia needs to reserve 7 additional rolls. And each roll costs $8, so ordering 7 additional rolls costs 7 ⋅ $8 = $56.

1. The first step here is to arrange the data set's form least to greatest,
Sherelle: 26, 39, 56, 58, 60, 62, 65, 66, 66, 68, 71, 72, 72, 73, 74, 75, 81, 83, 84, 85
Venita: 44, 45, 51, 51, 53, 53, 55, 57, 58, 62, 65, 66, 69, 69, 70, 73, 75, 77, 78, 79
Now we can determine our 5 - number summary based on the numbers respective positions.
First Data Set,
(Five - Number Summary) - Minimum : 26, Quartile 1 : 60, Median : 69.5, Quartile 3 : 75, Maximum : 85
Second Data Set,
(Five - Number Summary) - Minimum : 44, Quartile 1 : 53, Median : 63.5, Quartile 3 : 73, Maximum : 79
2. This part is based on your drawings of the box and whisker plots, so you would have to figure that part out by yourself.
3. First off we know that our data set is composed of the years from 1900, so let's rewrite the set based off of the actual year -
Sherelle: 1926, 1939, 1956, 1958, 1960, 1962, 1965, 1966, 1966, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1981, 1983, 1984, 1985
Venita: 1944, 1945, 1951, 1951, 1953, 1953, 1955, 1957, 1958, 1962, 1965, 1966, 1969, 1969, 1970, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1978, 1979
( a ) Now in Sherelle's defence, she can say that the lowest coin date in her group is 1926, comparative to Venita's group - the lowest coin date in hers being 1944. Therefore, she is more likely to have the 1916 coin, after all that date is the lowest overall in both their data set.
( b ) In Venita defence, she can say that the mean of her data set is lower than the mean of Sherelle's data set. Take a look at the calculations below,
Sherella's Mean : [tex]\frac{39336}{20}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{9834}{5}[/tex] = 1966.8,
Venita's Mean : [tex]\frac{39250}{20}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3925}{2}[/tex] = 1962.5
( c ) I would say Sherella's bag would most likely contain the 1916 coin. The mean is a prominent factor, but their mean(s) only differ by a very small quantity. That too, Sherella's bag contains the lowest coin in both their groups, and though that is not a prominent factor, it could be that she does have the 1916 coin.
Using a sample of 60 undergraduates, Dr. Hotchkins discovers a negative correlation between stress and emotional well-being. While looking at a scatterplot of the data, Dr. Hotchkins realizes there are 4 outliers in the data, all for individuals with extremely high scores on stress and extremely high scores on well-being. What is the effect of these outliers on the correlation
Answer and explanation:
A negative correlation means a relationship between two variables whereby each variable affects the other such that an increase in one variable means a decrease in the other and vice versa. This is the situation with the correlation graph/scatter plot of Dr. Hotchkins: An increase in stress would cause a decrease in emotional well being and vice versa
An Outlier is a data point on the scatter plot that does not fall into the pattern of the correlation graph. From the above, 4 points are outliers: extremely high points on stress and emotional well being. These points would affect (increase or decrease) the correlation coefficient depending on where they fall in the pattern. In this case there are 4 outliers out of 60 data points and we know that the more outliers there are the more effect they have on the correlation coefficient and vice versa(also depending on where the outlier is on the scatter plot)
Roberto is x years older than his only sister but 10 years ago he was twice her age. What are the current ages of the siblings?
Answer:
S = x + 10
R = 2x + 10
Step-by-step explanation:
If R is Roberto's age, and S is his sister's age, then:
R = S + x
R − 10 = 2 (S − 10)
Solve with substitution.
S + x − 10 = 2 (S − 10)
S + x − 10 = 2S − 20
S = x + 10
R = 2x + 10

A 2-column table with 8 rows. The first column is labeled x with entries negative 6, negative 5, negative 4, negative 3, negative 2, negative 1, 0, 1. The second column is labeled f of x with entries 34, 3, negative 10, negative 11, negative 6, negative 1, negative 2, negative 15. Using only the values given in the table for the function, f(x), what is the interval of x-values over which the function is increasing? (–6, –3) (–3, –1) (–3, 0) (–6, –5)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The only place that the function is increasing is [-3, -1] (learn your interval notation). At x = -3, y = -11; at x = -2, y = -6 (-6 is greater than -11); and at x = -1, y = -1 (-1 is greater than -6). The next x value, 0, returns a y value of -2. But -2 is less than -1, the value before it, so it begins deceasing again at x = 0.
Based on the values given in the table for f(x), the interval of x-values that show the function increasing is (-3, -1).
Which interval shows the function increasing?The value of f(x) was decreasing from 34 until it got to -11 where it then started to rise again. The relevant value of x here is -3.
The value then began to rise until it reached -1 where it then fell to -2. The x value here is -1.
The interval of x-values where the function is increasing is therefore (-3, -1).

A grocery store bought some mangoes at a rate of 5 for a dollar. They were separated into two stacks, one of which was sold at a rate of 3 for a dollar and the other at a rate of 6 for a dollar. What was the ratio of the number of mangoes in the two stacks if the store broke even after having sold all of its mangoes?
Answer:
The ratio of the number of mangoes in the $3 stack to those in the $6 stack is 1 : 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of mangoes bought by the grocery store be n. Also let the number of mango sold for $3 in one stack be x and the number of mango sold for $6 in the second stack be y.
Therefore:
x + y = z (1)
Also, the mangoes was sold at break even price, that is the cost of the mango and the price it was sold for was the same. Therefore:
Cost of buying = Price it was sold for
The cost of the mango = 5z and the price it was sold for = 3x + 6y
3x + 6y = 5z (2)
Substituting z = x + y in equation 1
3x + 6y = 5(x + y)
3x + 6y = 5x + 5y
6y - 5y = 5x - 3x
y = 2x
x / y = 1/ 2 = 1 : 2
The ratio of the number of mangoes in the $3 stack to those in the $6 stack is 1 : 2

[tex]360\div45=8[/tex]
Hope this helped!
Answer:
It will take 8 45 degree angles to make a full turn
Step-by-step explanation:
360 degrees is a full turn
360/45 =8
It will take 8 45 degree angles to make a full turn
Work out the circumference of a circle with diameter 1.8 cm.
Take a to be 3.142 and give your answer to 1 decimal place.
Answer:
The answer is
5.6 cmStep-by-step explanation:
Circumference of a circle( C) = πd
where d is the diameter
π = 3.142
From the question
d = 1.8cm
Substitute d = 1.8 into the above formula
Circumference of the circle is
3.142 × 1.8
= 5.6556
We have the final answer as
C = 5.6 cm to one decimal placeHope this helps you
Melissa put her $500 In a savings account that earns 4% interest compounded annually. How much will be in the account after 3 years? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth
Work Shown:
A = P*(1+r/n)^(nt)
A = 500*(1+0.04/1)^(1*3)
A = 562.432
A = 562.43
Answer: $562.43
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial start up amount is 500 and we want to expressed this as an exponential function. So since we know the initial value we need to find the rate of change. So if you earn 4% interest you are earning 4% percent more on top the actual 100%.
So 100% + 4 % = 104% = 1.04
The common difference is 1.04.
so 500 * 1.04^n= A where n is the number of years and A is the total amount.
A = 500 * [tex]1.04^{3}[/tex]
A= 562.43

Answer:
x = -4 + 3 i or x = -4 - 3 i
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
(x + 4)/(x + 5) = (x - 5)/(2 x)
Hint: | Multiply both sides by a polynomial to clear fractions.
Cross multiply:
2 x (x + 4) = (x - 5) (x + 5)
Hint: | Write the quadratic polynomial on the left hand side in standard form.
Expand out terms of the left hand side:
2 x^2 + 8 x = (x - 5) (x + 5)
Hint: | Write the quadratic polynomial on the right hand side in standard form.
Expand out terms of the right hand side:
2 x^2 + 8 x = x^2 - 25
Hint: | Move everything to the left hand side.
Subtract x^2 - 25 from both sides:
x^2 + 8 x + 25 = 0
Hint: | Using the quadratic formula, solve for x.
x = (-8 ± sqrt(8^2 - 4×25))/2 = (-8 ± sqrt(64 - 100))/2 = (-8 ± sqrt(-36))/2:
x = (-8 + sqrt(-36))/2 or x = (-8 - sqrt(-36))/2
Hint: | Express sqrt(-36) in terms of i.
sqrt(-36) = sqrt(-1) sqrt(36) = i sqrt(36):
x = (-8 + i sqrt(36))/2 or x = (-8 - i sqrt(36))/2
Hint: | Simplify radicals.
sqrt(36) = sqrt(4×9) = sqrt(2^2×3^2) = 2×3 = 6:
x = (-8 + i×6)/2 or x = (-8 - i×6)/2
Hint: | Factor the greatest common divisor (gcd) of -8, 6 i and 2 from -8 + 6 i.
Factor 2 from -8 + 6 i giving -8 + 6 i:
x = 1/2-8 + 6 i or x = (-8 - 6 i)/2
Hint: | Cancel common terms in the numerator and denominator.
(-8 + 6 i)/2 = -4 + 3 i:
x = -4 + 3 i or x = (-8 - 6 i)/2
Hint: | Factor the greatest common divisor (gcd) of -8, -6 i and 2 from -8 - 6 i.
Factor 2 from -8 - 6 i giving -8 - 6 i:
x = -4 + 3 i or x = 1/2-8 - 6 i
Hint: | Cancel common terms in the numerator and denominator.
(-8 - 6 i)/2 = -4 - 3 i:
Answer: x = -4 + 3 i or x = -4 - 3 i
