why are the side lengths of a right triangle a pythagorean triple

Answers

Answer 1

Explanation:

We assume your question is "why is that name given to these three numbers?"

There are many names in mathematics that are given to sequences or sets of numbers having a particular characteristic. The term "Pythagorean triple" is usually reserved for three positive integers that satisfy the relation "the sum of the squares of the smaller two is equal to the square of the largest."

This relationship exists between the side lengths of a right triangle, which is the point of the Pythagorean theorem. So, integer side lengths of a right triangle constitute a "Pythagorean triple."

_____

If your question is "why do right triangle side lengths have the relationship specified by the Pythagorean theorem?", that demands a different answer. In general, the sides and angles of a triangle obey the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines.

One of the expressions of the Law of Cosines is ...

  c² = a² +b² -2ab·cos(C)

where C is the angle opposite side c in the triangle. You may recall that the cosine of 90° is zero, so the cosine term in this equation vanishes when angle C is a right angle. The remaining equation is ...

  c² = a² +b²

This is an expression of the Pythagorean theorem, and it is true only for right triangles.

A little kid running a lemonade stand sells small and large beverages. Each small beverage sells for $2 and each large beverage sells for $5. Small beverages require 4 lemons and 6 tablespoons of sugar each. Large beverages require 5 lemons and 10 tablespoons of sugar each. She has 100 lemons and 180 tablespoons of sugar. How many of each beverage should she sell to maximize her earnings?

Answers

Answer:

No. of Small Beverage = x = 10

No. of Large Beverage = y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Analyzing the given situation, we can form two algebraic equations.

Since, she has 100 lemons and 4 lemons are required for small beverage, while 5 lemons are required for large beverage. So, we can form the equation:

4x + 5y = 100   --------- eqn (1)

where,

x = No. of small beverages sold

y = No. of large beverages sold

Similarly, she has 180 table spoons of sugar and 6 table spoons are required for small beverage, while 10 table spoons are required for large beverage. So, we can form the equation:

6x + 10y = 180   -------- eqn (2)

From eqn (1):

x = (100 - 5y)/4   ------- eqn (3)

Substituting this value of x in eqn (2)

(6)(100 - 5y)/4 + 10y = 180

10 y - 7.5 y= 180 - 150

2.5 y = 30

y = 30/2.5

y = 12

Using this value of y in eqn (3)

x = [100 - (5)(12)]/4

x = 10

Therefore, in order to maximize the earnings the kid should sell following number of each beverage:

No. of Small Beverage = x = 10

No. of Large Beverage = y = 12

How would you write "4/1000" In decimal form?

Answers

Answer:

0.004

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 4/10 is 0.4 and 4/100 is 0.04, 4/1000 must be 0.004

Answer:

0.004

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{4}{1000}[/tex] is basically [tex]4 \cdot 10^{-4[/tex] (if you've learned scientific notation), so all you have to do is move the decimal to the left four times. That gives us

[tex]4.0\\0.4\\0.04\\\boxed{0.004}[/tex]

if a rectangular prism has a volume of 550 cm squared and its dimensions are all tripled, then what would be the new volume?

Answers

Answer:

The new volume would be 14,850cm³.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is:

[tex]V = l*w*h[/tex]

In which l is the length, w is the width and h is the height.

Dimensions tripled.

So [tex]l = 3l, w = 3w, h = 3h[/tex]

The modified volume will be:

[tex]V_{m} = 3l*3w*3h = 27*l*w*h = 27V[/tex]

Volume of 550 cm³ before the dimensions are tripled.

This means that [tex]V = 550[/tex]

New volume:

[tex]V_{m} = 27*550 = 14850[/tex]

The new volume would be 14,850cm³.

Answers

We have been given that Sebastian got estimates from 7 companies for his kitchen remodel: $ 27,500 ; $31,000 ; $36,000 ; $92,000; $29,000 ; $30,500 ; $28,500. We are asked to find the best measure of center for the given data.

We can see that our given data set has a large valued data point that is $92,000.

We know that mean is very much affected by large valued outliers. The data point $92,000 will increase the mean. Therefore, mean is not a best measure of center for given data.

We know that median is very less affected by outliers, therefore, median will be best measure of center for the given data.

A researcher planned a study in which a crucial step was offering participants a food reward. It was important that three food rewards were equal in appeal. Thus, a pilot study was designed in which participants were asked which of the rewards they preferred. The observed frequencies are as follows:

Of the 60 participants, 16 preferred cupcakes, 26 preferred candy bars, and 18 favored dried apricots.

1. The appropriate statistical test for this problem is (be specific): ________.

2. What are the expected frequencies for this question?

3. What is the cutoff on the comparison distribution (step 3)?

4. What is the correct calculation for chi-square (step 4)?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

A pilot study was conducted to test if three food rewards are equally appealing to the participants.

Of 60 participants surveyed:

16 preferred cupcakes (CC)

26 preferred candy bars (CB)

18 preferred dried apricots (DA)

If the three types of food are equally appealing for the participants, you'd expect that their proportions will be equal: P(CC)=P(CB)=P(DA)= 1/3

1.

The objective of this pilot study is to test if the observed frequencies follow a theoretical model/ distribution. To analyze this, you have to apply a Chi Square Goodness to Fit test. [tex]X^2=sum \frac{(O_i-E_i)^2}{E_i} ~~X^2_{k-1}[/tex] Where k= number of categories of the variable.

For this example the statistical hypotheses are:

H₀: P(CC)=P(CB)=P(DA)= 1/3

H₁: At least one of the proportions isn't equal to the others.

2.

To calculate the expected frequencies for each category you have to use the formula: [tex]E_i= n* P_i[/tex] where Pi represents the theoretical proportion for the i category, stated in the null hypothesis.

[tex]E_{CC}= n* P(CC)= 60*1/3= 20[/tex]

[tex]E_{CB}= n*P(CB)= 60*1/3= 20[/tex]

[tex]E_{DA}= n* P(DA)= 60* 1/3= 20[/tex]

3.

The cutoff or critical value indicates the beginning of the rejection region for the hypothesis test. For the Chi-Square tests, the rejection region is always one-tailed to the right, meaning that you'll reject the null hypothesis if the value of the statistic is big. For the goodness to fit test you have k-1 degrees of freedom, so the critical value will be:

Assuming α: 0.05

[tex]X^2_{k-1;1-\alpha /2}= X^2_{2;0.975}= 7.378[/tex]

The rejection region is then X²₂ ≥ 7.378

4.

[tex]X^2_{H_0}= \frac{(O_{CC}-E_{CC})^2}{E_{CC}} + \frac{(O_{CB}-E_{CB})^2}{E_{CB}} + \frac{(O_{DA}-E_{DA})^2}{E_{DA}} = \frac{(16-20)^2}{20} +\frac{(26-20)^2}{20} +\frac{(18-20)^2}{20}= \frac{14}{5}= 2.8[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

23x + 18y = 1446

x + y = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

The bakery made $1446 total. We represent this as the cost of each cake ($23) times the number of cakes sold (x) plus the cost of each dozen cupcakes ($18) times the number of cupcakes sold (y).

Thus, 23x +18y = $1446.

The bakery sold 72 items total. We represent this as the number of cakes sold (x) plus the number of each dozen cupcakes sold (y).

Thus, x + y = 72.

what is the average rate of change for the function f(x)=x^2+4 for the domain of -2 to 4

Answers

Answer:

  2

Step-by-step explanation:

For a quadratic function the average rate of change on an interval is the rate of change at the midpoint of the interval. The rate of change of a function is given by its derivative.

The derivative of f(x) = x^2 is f'(x) = 2x. The midpoint of the interval is (4+(-2))/2 = 1. Then the average rate of change is ...

  f'(1) = 2(1) = 2

The average rate of change of f(x) on [-2, 4] is 2.

__

Alternate solution

The average rate of change is the slope of the line between the end points of the interval:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (f(4) -f(-2))/(4 -(-2)) = (20 -8)/(6) = 2

The average rate of change on [-2, 4] is 2.
