The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 5 inches long. One of the legs is 1 inch longer than the other. What is the length (in inches) of the longer leg?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  4  inches

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We gonna find the the length of the right triangle legs using Phitagor theorem.

c²=a²+b²  (1)   , where c is triangle's  hypotenuse

a and b are the triangle's  legs.

Let the leg a =x,    so leg b=x+1 inches

Now we can write the equation using (1)

25=x²+(x+1)²

25=x²+x²+2*x+1

2*x²+2*x-24=0     ( divide by 2 both sides of the equation)

x²+x-12=0

Find the discriminant D=1+12*4=49

√D=7

x1= (-1+7)/2=3     x2=(-1-7)/2=-4 - x2=-4 not possible so length of the leg can not be negative.

So the shorter leg a=x= 3 inches

The longer leg b=x+1=4 inches

Answer: -7/6

Step-by-step explanation: (-2/3) ÷ (4/7) can be rewritten as (-2/3) · (7/4).

Remember that dividing by a fraction is the same thing

as multiplying by the reciprocal of the fraction.

Jayden, who burns 345 calories in 45 min
while hiking is preparing for a 6 hour hike.
He uses a special supplement beverage
pack that provides water, needed
electrolytes, and 310 calories. The goal is to
replace roughly 1/3 of the calories burned
while carrying as light a load as possible.
How many packs should he take?

Answers

I think that she should bring three packs. 6 hours=360 minutes. 360/45=8. 345x8=2760. 2760/3=920 and 310x3=930. :)

This question is solved using proportions.

First, we find how many calories he will burn in the hike.Then, we find how many calories he will need to replace, and the number of packs needed.

Doing this, we get that he should take 3 packs.

How many calories he burns in the hike?

In 45 minutes, he burns 345 calories. How many calories in 6*60 = 360 minutes?

45 minutes - 345 calories

360 minutes - x calories

Applying cross multiplication:

[tex]45x = 345*360[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{345*360}{45}[/tex]

[tex]x = 2760[/tex]

He burns 2760 calories in the hike.

How many calories he wants to replace?

Roughly 1/3, so he have to find one third of 2760, that is:

[tex]\frac{2760}{3} = 920[/tex]

How many packs?

One pack recovers 310 calories, how many packs for 920 calories?

1 pack - 310 calories

x packs - 920 calories

Applying cross multiplication:

[tex]310x = 920[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{920}{310}[/tex]

[tex]x = 2.97[/tex]

Rounding up, he should take 3 packs.

A ship leaves the port of Miami with a bearing of S80°E and a speed of 15 knots. After 1 hour, the ship turns 90° toward the south. After 2 hours, maintain the same speed. What is the bearing to the ship from port?

Answers

Answer:

The bearing is N 55.62° W

Step-by-step explanation:

ship leaves the port of Miami with a bearing of S80°E and a speed of 15 knots.

It then turns 90° towards the south after one hour.

Still maintain the same speed and direction for two hours.

The bearing is just the angle difference from the ship current location to where it started.

Let the speed be km/h

Distance covered in the first round

= 15*1

= 15km

Distance covered in the second round

=15*2

= 30 km

Angle at C = (90-80)+90

Angle at C = 10+90= 100

Let the distance between the port and the ship be c

C²= a² + b² -2abcos

C²= 15²+30²-2(15)(30)cos 100

C²= 225+900+156.28

C²= 1281.28

C= 35.8 km

Using sine formula

30/sin x= 35.8/sin 100

30/35.8 * sin 100 = sinx

0.838*0.9848= sin x

0.8253= sin x

Sin ^-1 0.8253 = x

55.62° = x

The bearing is N 55.62° W

A manager from a certain well known department store found out the money their customers carry into the store is normally distributed with a mean of $258 dollars and a standard deviation of $35. In a sample of 76 Americans who walked into that store find the probability that a random customer will have more than $260 in his or her wallet

Answers

Answer:

0.30924

Approximately ≈ 0.3092

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for this question, we use the formula:

z = (x - μ)/σ

where x is the raw score

μ is the sample mean

σ is the sample standard deviation.

From the question,

x is the raw score = 260

μ is the sample mean = population standard deviation = 258

σ is the sample standard deviation

= σ/√N

N = 76 samples

σ = Population standard deviation

= 35/√76

= 4.0146919966

Hence,

z = (x - μ)/σ

= 260 - 258/ 4.0146919966

= 0.4981702212

Approximately = 0.498

We find the Probability using z score table for normal distribution

P(x = z) = P( x = 260)

= P( z = 0.498)

= 0.69076

The probability that a random customer will have more than $260 in his or her wallet is calculated as:

P(x>Z) = 1 - P( z = 0.498)

P(x>Z) = 1 - 0.69076

P(x>Z) = 0.30924

Approximately ≈ 0.3092

Given that
[tex]\sqrt{2p-7}=3[/tex]
and
[tex]7\sqrt{3q-1}=2[/tex]
Evaluate
[tex]p + {q}^{2} [/tex]​

Answers

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

The two given expressions are:

● √(2p-7) = 3

● 7√(3q-1) = 2

We are told to evaluate p+q^2

To do that let's find the values of p and q^2

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Let's start with p.

● √(2p-7) = 3

Square both sides

● (2p-7) = 3^2

● 2p-7 = 9

Add 7 to both sides

● 2p-7+7 = 9+7

● 2p = 16

Divide both sides by 2

● 2p/2 = 16/2

● p = 8

So the value of p is 8

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Let's find the value of q^2

● 7√(3q-1) = 2

Square both sides

● 7^2 × (3q-1) = 2^2

● 49 × (3q-1) = 4

● 49 × 3q - 49 × 1 = 4

● 147q - 49 = 4

Add 49 to both sides

● 147q -49 +49 = 4+49

● 147q = 53

Divide both sides by 147

● 147q/147 = 53/147

● q = 53/ 147

Square both sides

● q^2 = 53^2 / 147^2

● q^2 = 2809/21609

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

● p+q^2 = 8 +(2809/21609)

● p+q^2 = (2809 + 8×21609)/21609

● p+q^2 = 175681 / 21609

● p + q^2 = 8.129

Round it to the nearest unit

● p+ q^2 = 8

The perimeter of a rectangle is 80 cm. Find the lengths of the sides of the rectangle giving the maximum area.Enter the answers for the lengths of the sides in increasing order.

Answers

Answer:

The lengths of the sides are 20 cm and 20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Perimeter, P = 80cm

Represent the length and width with L and W, respectively;

[tex]P= 2*(L + B)[/tex]

Substitute 80 for P

[tex]80 = 2 * (L + B)[/tex]

Divide through by 2

[tex]40 = L + B[/tex]

[tex]L + B = 40[/tex]

Make L the subject of formula

[tex]L = 40 - B[/tex]

Area of a rectangle is calculated as thus;

[tex]Area = L * B[/tex]

Substitute 40 - B for L

[tex]Area = (40 - B) * B[/tex]

Express this as a function

[tex]A(B) = (40 - B)* B[/tex]

[tex](40 - B)* B = A(B)[/tex]

Set A(B) = 0 to determine the roots

Hence;

[tex](40 - B)* B = 0[/tex]

[tex]40 - B = 0[/tex] or [tex]B = 0[/tex]

[tex]40 = B[/tex] or [tex]B = 0[/tex]

[tex]B = 40[/tex] or [tex]B = 0[/tex]

The maximum area of a rectangle occurs at half the sum of the roots;

So;

[tex]B= \frac{B_1 + B_2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]B= \frac{40+0}{2}[/tex]

[tex]B= \frac{40}{2}[/tex]

[tex]B = 20[/tex]

Recall that [tex]L = 40 - B[/tex]

[tex]L = 40 - 20[/tex]

[tex]L = 20[/tex]

Hence the lengths of the sides are 20 cm and 20 cm

When comparing more than two treatment means, why should you use an analysis of variance instead of using several t tests?

Answers

Answer:

Because it increases the risk of Type 1 error

Step-by-step explanation:

ANOVA is the analysis of the variance .

When comparing more than two treatment means we use ANOVA because a t test increases the risk of type 1 error  .

For example if we wish to compare 4 population means there will be 4C2 = 6 separate pairs and to test the null hypothesis that all four population means are equal would require six two sample t test. Similarly to test 10 population mean would require 45 separate two sample t test.

This has two disadvantages .

First the procedure is too lengthy  and tediuos.

Second the overall level of significance greatly increases as the number of t- tests increases.

The analysis of the variance compares two different estimates of variance using the F distributionto determine whether the population means are equal.

A vector has a magnitude of 43
meters at an angle (0). If the
Y-component of the vector is 30
meters, what is the X-component?
[?]m

Answers

30.8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: [tex]V = 43\:\text{m}[/tex], [tex]V_y = 30\:\text{m}[/tex]

The x-component of vector [tex]\vec{\text{V}}[/tex] is

[tex]V_x = \sqrt{V^2 - V_y^2} = \sqrt{(43)^2 - (30)^2} = 30.8\:\text{m}[/tex]

The x- component of the vector is 30.8meters.

What is the magnitude and direction of vector?

If [tex]v = < a. b >[/tex] be a position vector then the magnitude of vector v is found by  [tex]|v| =\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2} } }[/tex] , where a and b are the x and y component respectively.

And the direction is equals to the angle formed x- axis or y axis.

According to the given question

We have

Magnitude of the vector, |v| = 43meters

Y- component of the vector, b = 30meters

Since, we know that

[tex]|v| =\sqrt{a^{2} +b^{2} }[/tex]

Substitute the value of |v| = 43 and b = 30 in the above formula of magnitude.

⇒ [tex]43 = \sqrt{a^{2}+30^{2} }[/tex]

⇒ [tex]43 = \sqrt{a^{2}+900 }[/tex]

⇒ [tex]43^{2} =a^{2} + 900[/tex]

⇒ [tex]1849 = a^{2} + 900[/tex]

⇒ [tex]1849-900=a^{2}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]949=a^{2}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]a =\sqrt{949}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]a = 30.8[/tex]

Hence, the x- component of the vector is 30.8meters.
