the height of a triangle is 2 centimetres more than the base. if the height is increased by 2 centimetres while the base remains the same, the new area becomes 82.5 centimetres square. find the base and the height of the original triangle.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Base = 11 cm

Height = 13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the height of a triangle is 2 centimetres more than the base.

Let x cm be the base of triangle. So height of the triangle is x+2 cm.

It is given that if the height is increased by 2 centimetres while the base remains the same, the new area becomes 82.5 centimetres square.

New height = (x+2)+2 = x+4 cm

Area of a triangle is

[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times base\times height[/tex]

[tex]82.5=\dfrac{1}{2}\times x\times (x+4)[/tex]

[tex]165=x^2+4x[/tex]

[tex]x^2+4x-165=0[/tex]

Splitting the middle term, we get

[tex]x^2+15x-11x-165=0[/tex]

[tex]x(x+15)-11(x+15)=0[/tex]

[tex](x+15)(x-11)=0[/tex]

Using zero product property, we get

[tex]x=-15,11[/tex]

Base of a triangle can not be negative, therefore x=11.

Base = 11 cm

Height = 11+2 = 13 cm

Therefore, the base of original triangle is 11 cm and height is 13 cm.

* The American Diabetes Association estimates that 8.3% of people in the
United States have diabetes. Suppose that a medical lab has developed

medical lab gives the test to a randomly selected person. What is the
probability that the diagnosis is correct? Explain each step.​

Answers

Answer:

The probability that the diagnosis is correct is 0.95249.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the American Diabetes Association estimates that 8.3% of people in the United States have diabetes.

Suppose that a medical lab has developed a simple diagnostic test for diabetes that is 98% accurate for people who have the disease and 95% accurate for people who do not have it.

Let the probability that people in the United States have diabetes = P(D) = 0.083.

So, the probability that people in the United States do not have diabetes = P(D') = 1 - P(D) = 1 - 0.083 = 0.917

Also, let A = event that the diagnostic test is accurate

So, the probability that a simple diagnostic test for diabetes is accurate for people who have the disease = P(A/D) = 0.98

And the probability that a simple diagnostic test for diabetes is accurate for people who do not have the disease = P(A/D') = 0.95

Now, the probability that the diagnosis is correct is given by;

    Probability = P(D) [tex]\times[/tex] P(A/D) + P(D') [tex]\times[/tex] P(A/D')

                      = (0.083 [tex]\times[/tex] 0.98) + (0.917 [tex]\times[/tex]0.95)

                      = 0.08134 + 0.87115

                      = 0.95249

Hence, the probability that the diagnosis is correct is 0.95249.

Bob decided to give up a full-time salary of $45000 a year to go to school for 4 years. The total cost of going to school will not include the loss of income because he has saved money and has grants/scholarships to support living cost during this time. But the cost of going to school will be $2,858 per semester, plus $391 per semester for books. If he wants to recover his investment in 6 years or less what is the minimum salary he would need to earn upon earning his degree.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Semester Costs = 8*2858 =                     22864

Books / semester= 8 * 391 =                        3128

Total                                                            25992

O A. The vectors v and w are not orthogonal because their dot product is ___

O B. The vectors v and w are orthogonal because their dot product is ___

Answers

Answer:

B. The vectors v and w are orthogonal because their dot product is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

v=  - i - j  

w= - i + j

Therefore;

vw = ( - i - j )  ( - i + j )

Taking each  set of integer of the vector into consideration:

vw = ( -1 × - 1) ( -1 × 1)

vw = 1 - 1

vw = 0

Hence, we can conclude that :

Suppose that you begin with 10 grams of magic crystals, and your crystals grow at a
continuous rate of 25% every day (that's why they're magic). How many grams of
crystals will you have after one week (7 days)?!
ANSWER IS BRAINLEIST

Answers

Answer:

After 7 days the crystals will be 57.57 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this the continuous exponential growth formula will be used.

y = A e ^rt

Where A = original amount = 10 grams

y is the growth after 7 days

e is Euler's number= 2.719

t is the time in hours , weeks, years etc.= 7 days

r  is the rate in decimals = 25% = 0.25

Putting the values in the formula:

y = A e ^rt

y = 10 e ^0.25 (7)

Calculating with the calculator

y = 10* 2.719^1.75

y= 57.57 grams.

After 7 days the crystals will be 57.57 grams.

 

Answer:

57.55g

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula f(t) = aert, where a = 10, r = 0.25, and t = 7. This gives f(7) = 10e(0.25)(7) = 10e1.75 ≈ 10(5.755) ≈ 57.55.

B. What is the value of the standardized test statistic?
C. What is the p-value?
D. Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Answers

Answer:

The  alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : \mu < 8300[/tex]

B

  [tex]t = -3.34[/tex]

C

 [tex]p-value = P(t< -3.34) = 0.00041889[/tex]

D

 reject the null hypothesis  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The population mean is  [tex]\mu = 8300[/tex]

    The sample mean is [tex]\ = x = 8000[/tex]

     The  standard deviation is [tex]s = 440[/tex]

      The sample size is  [tex]n = 24[/tex]

       The  level of significance is  [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]

   

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \mu \ge 8300[/tex]

The  alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : \mu < 8300[/tex]

 The  test statistic is mathematically evaluated as

                     [tex]t = \frac{\= x - \mu }{ \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

=>                  [tex]t = \frac{8000- 8300 }{ \frac{440}{\sqrt{24} } }[/tex]

=>                    [tex]t = -3.34[/tex]

The p-value is obtained from the z -table ( reference calculator dot net ) , the value is

         [tex]p-value = P(t< -3.34) = 0.00041889[/tex]

Looking at the values of  [tex]p-value and \ \alpha[/tex] we see that  [tex]p-value < \alpha[/tex] Hence we reject the null hypothesis

3. A medical devices company wants to know the number of MRI machines needed per day. A previous study found a standard deviation of four hours. How many MRI machines must the company study in order to have a margin of error of 0.5 hours when calculating a 90% confidence interval

Answers

Answer:

173 MRI machines

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of error E = 0.5

Confidence interval 90% = 1-0.9 = 0.1

Standard deviation = 4 hours

Number of MRI machines needed per day n, = [(z alpha/2 * SD)/E]²

Z alpha/2 = 1.645 at alpha = 0.1

Inputting these values into n we have that

[(1.645*4)/0.5]²

= 13.16²

= 173.18 is approximately equal to 173

The company has to study 173 machines.

The area of a rectangle is 44 m^2, and the length of the rectangle is 3 m less than twice the width. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
length :
width :

Answers

Answer:

Length:8

Width:5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We're given area = 44m^2, and the formula for the area of a rectangle is the length multiplied by the width. So,

A = L * w = 44

We're given that the length is 3m shorter than 2 times the width, which is 2w - 3. "2w" is the same as "2 times the width", and the 3 is subtracted because it says 3m shorter than 2 times the width. So L = 2w - 3, and we can substitute that into our equation above.

(2w - 3)(w) = 44

2w^2 - 3w - 44 = 0

Use the quadratic formula here.

x = {3 ± √(-3)^2 - 4(-44)(2)}/2(2)

= {3 ± √9 + 352}/4

= (3 ± 19)/4

You'll get two answers, but remember, we're measuring the length of the sides of shapes, so it has to be positive. It's impossible to have negative lengths, so we're going to stick with the (3 + 19)/4 answer, which is 22/4, which is 5.5. However, we are not finished yet. This is just the width. Now we need to plug it into the equation for length, which was 2w - 3

2(5.5) - 3 = 11 - 3 = 8

The length is 8m and the width is 5.5m.

m=-1/7

next plug the slope and the point (-5,1) into point slope formula

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y1=1

x1= -5

m=-1/7

y- 1 = -1/7(x - -5)

y-1=-1/7(x+5)

Distribute -1/7 first

y- 1=-1/7x + 5/7

Add 1 on both sides, but since its a fraction add 7/7

y=-1/7x + (5/7+7/7)

y=-1/7x+12/7

A roll of steel is manufactured on a processing line. The anticipated number of defects in a 10-foot segment of this roll is two. What is the probability of no defects in 10 feet of steel

Answers

Answer:

the probability of no defects in 10 feet of steel = 0.1353

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven that:

A roll of steel is manufactured on a processing line. The anticipated number of defects in a 10-foot segment of this roll is two.

Let consider β to be the average value for defecting

So;

β = 2

Assuming Y to be the random variable which signifies the anticipated number of defects in a 10-foot segment of this roll.

Thus, y follows a poisson distribution as number of defect is infinite with the average value of β = 2

i.e

[tex]Y \sim P( \beta = 2)[/tex]

the probability mass function can be represented as follows:

[tex]\mathtt{P(y) = \dfrac{e^{- \beta} \ \beta^ \ y}{y!}}[/tex]

where;

y =  0,1,2,3 ...

Hence,  the probability of no defects in 10 feet of steel

y = 0

[tex]\mathtt{P(y =0) = \dfrac{e^{- 2} \ 2^ \ 0}{0!}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{P(y =0) = \dfrac{0.1353 \times 1}{1}}[/tex]

P(y =0) = 0.1353

We need to find the common ratio

r = 256/512 = 1/2

sum = 512 ( 1 - 1/2^12) / ( 1-1/2)

       =512( 1-.000244141) / (.5)
