Find The Value Of Y.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  y = √55

Step-by-step explanation:

All the triangles are similar, so the ratio of short side to hypotenuse is the same for all:

  5/y = y/(5+6)

  y^2 = 55

  y = √55

_____

Comment on the geometry

There are three "geometric mean" relationships that apply to this geometry.

the altitude BD is the geometric mean of BC and BA (√30)the long side of the large triangle is the geometric mean of the longer segment of the hypotenuse and the whole hypotenuse (x = √66)the short side of the large triangle is the geometric mean of the shorter segment of the hypotenuse and the whole hypotenuse (y = √55)

If you were aware of the last of these relationships, you could write down the answer without any "work."

  y = √(5(5 +6)) = √55

__

The geometric mean is the n-th root of the product of n numbers. When there are 2 numbers, it is the square root of their product.

A bottler of drinking water fills plastic bottles with a mean volume of 999 milliliters (ml) and standard deviation 7 ml. The fill
volumes are normally distributed. What is the probability that a bottle has a volume greater than 992 mL?
1.0000
0.8810
0.8413
0.9987

Answers

Answer:

0.8413

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the z score.

z = (x − μ) / σ

z = (992 − 999) / 7

z = -1

Use a chart or calculator to find the probability.

P(Z > -1)

= 1 − P(Z < -1)

= 1 − 0.1587

= 0.8413

The required probability that a bottle has a volume greater than 992 mL is 0.84134. Option C is correct

Given that,
A bottler of drinking water fills plastic bottles with a mean volume of 999 milliliters (ml) and a standard deviation of 7 ml. The fill volumes are normally distributed. What is the probability that a bottle has a volume greater than 992 mL, is to be determined

What is probability?

Probability can be defined as the ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of events.

We use Z-statistic to find out the probability,

z = (x − μ) / σ

x = raw score = 992 mL
μ = population mean = 999 mL
σ = standard deviation
z = [992 − 999]/7
z = -1

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x<992) = 0.15866

P(x>992) = 1 - P(x<992) = 0.84134

Thus, the required probability that a bottle has a volume greater than 992 mL is 0.84134

A person stands 15 ft from an elephant. Determine how tall the elephant is in feet, the given diagram.

Answers

Answer:

The height of the elephant is [tex]\dfrac{15}{\sqrt3}\ ft[/tex].      

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Distance between a person and an elephant is 15 ft

The angle of elevation of the elephant is 30 degrees.

We need to find the height of the elephant. For this let us consider that height is h. So,

[tex]\tan\theta=\dfrac{P}{B}\\\\\tan(30)=\dfrac{h}{15}\\\\h=15\times \tan(30)\\\\h=\dfrac{15}{\sqrt3}\ ft[/tex]

So, the height of the elephant is [tex]\dfrac{15}{\sqrt3}\ ft[/tex].      

Part 1 You will need to measure five different people. Record your measurements on a piece of paper. Using a tape measure or ruler, measure the length (in inches) of a person’s left foot and then measure the length (in inches) of that same person’s forearm (between their wrist and elbow). Refer to the diagrams below. You will have two measurements for each person. (An easy way to measure the length of a foot is to have your subject stand on a piece of paper. Then, trace their foot and measure the outline once they move off the paper.) To measure the forearm, measure inside the arm, between the wrist and the elbow. Part 2 Organize your data and find the rate of change. Create a table of the measurements for your data. Label the forearm measurements as your input and the foot measurements as your output. Select two sets of points and find the rate of change for your data. Describe your results. If you had to express this relation as a verbal statement, how would you describe it? Part 3 Compare rates of change. The equation below can be used to find the length of a foot or forearm when you know one or the other. (length of the foot) = 0.860 • (length of the forearm) + 3.302 If you let y = length of the foot and x = length of the forearm, this equation can be simplified to y = 0.860x + 3.302. Using this equation, how long would the foot of a person be if his forearm was 17 inches long? What is the rate of change of the equation from Part A? Compare the equation from Part A to your data. Are they the same? Which has a greater rate of change? Why do you think the values are different? Is the relation in your data a function? Why or why not? Could the equation in Part A represent a function? Why or why not? Explain your answer. For this option you will submit the details from all three parts. Submit your measurements, the table, and description that you created in Parts 1 and 2. Submit your answers to the questions from Part 3. Measurement of forearm (x) 10in. , 15in , 10in, 11in. , 12in.

Solve for x: 125^(3x+7)=25^(5x−11)

Answers

Answer:

x = 43

Step-by-step explanation:

125^(3x+7)=25^(5x−11)

Rewriting the bases as powers of 5

125 = 5^3  and 25 = 5^2

5^3 ^ (3x+7) = 5^2^(5x-11)

We know a^b^c = a^ (b*c)

5^(3 * (3x+7)) = 5^(2*(5x-11))

Distribute

5^(9x+21) = 5^(10x-22)

The bases are the same so the exponents are the same

9x+21 = 10x-22

Subtract 9x from each side

9x+21 -9x = 10x-9x-22

21 = x-22

Add 22 to each side

21+22 = x-22+22

What is labor cost?

It refers to the expenditure done on procuring labor for the work.

How to calculate per hour labor cost?

In our situation Shannon paid total $339.50 in which the cost of the parts is $112 and 3.5 hours of labor. So,

labor cost Shannon Paid=339.50-112

=$227.50

labor cost per hour=227.50/3.5

=$6.5 per hour

Joni paid total $455 in which the cost of spare parts is $310 and rest is labor

labor cost paid by Joni=455-310

=$145

labor cost per hour=145/2.5

=$58 per hour

So by doing comparing we found that Shannon had paid $6 per hour extra for labor.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The amount of carbon present after t year is

           [tex]y(t) = y_o * e ^{-0.00012t}[/tex]    {Note ; This is the function }

Here  [tex]y(t)[/tex] is the amount of carbon-14 after time t

        [tex]y_o[/tex] the original amount of carbon-14

Now given that the paint as at now contain 27% of the original carbon-14

  Then it mean that

            [tex]y(t) = 0.27 y_o[/tex]

So the equation is represented as

       [tex]0.27 y_o = y_o * e ^{-0.00012t}[/tex]

=>    [tex]0.27 = * e ^{-0.00012t}[/tex]

Find the measure of y. Polygon Angle-Sum theorems

Answers

Answer:

z = 70°

y = 103°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

110° + z° = 180° [Supplementary angles]

z = 180 - 110

z = 70°

Since sum of interior angles of a polygon = (n - 2)×180°

where n = number of sides of the polygon

For a quadrilateral (n = 4),

Sum of interior angles = (4 - 2) × 180°

                                     = 360°

z° + y° + 100° + 87° = 360°

70° + y° + 187° = 360°

y = 103°

Therefore, measure of the angles x = 70° and y = 103°.

Answer: m∠x = 30°

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle, if the short side of the right angle is Half the length of the hypotenuse, the triangle has angles of 30°, 60° and 90°

∠x is the smallest one, so  m∠x = 30°

1. A mortgage of $200,000 requires payments of $1395.40 per month at 5.7%
compounded quarterly. How long will it take to repay the loan? What amount of interest
does the purchase pay?

Answers

Answer:

a) How long will it take to repay the loan?

20 years

b) What amount of interest does the purchase pay?

$134,896

Step-by-step explanation:

a) How long will it take to repay the loan?

In the above question, they are asking you for the Loan duration

The Formula for Loan duration(T) =

ln (- m/(r÷n) × C - m)/In (1 + r/n)

Where:

m = monthly payments = $1395.40

C = Amount of mortgage =$200,000

r = Interest rate = 5.7% = 0.57

n = compounded quarterly = 4

T = ln (- 1395.40/(0.57÷4) × 200,000 - 1395.40)/In (1 + 0.57/4)

T = 20 years.

Therefore, it will take 20 years to repay the Loan.

b) What amount of interest does the purchase pay?

The total number of payments =

Loan duration × Number of months

Number of months = 12 months( because it is monthly payment)

Loan duration = 20 years

Total number of payments = 240 payments.

In the question, we are given the amount paid monthly payment as

$1,395.40

Total amount paid = Monthly payments × Total number of payments

= $1,395.40 × 240

= $334,896

The amount of Interest the purchase pay = $334,896 - $200,000

= $134,896

PLEASE HELP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!! IDK what to put up here any more so imma copy-paste this Aunt Hester had not only disobeyed his orders in going out, but had been found in company with Lloyd's Ned; which circumstance, I found, from what he said while whipping her, was the chief offence. Had he been a man of pure morals himself, he might have been thought interested in protecting the innocence of my aunt; but those who knew him will not suspect him of any such virtue. Before he commenced whipping Aunt Hester, he took her into the kitchen, and stripped her from neck to waist, leaving her neck, shoulders, and back, entirely naked. He then told her to cross her hands, calling her at the same time a d----d b---h. After crossing her hands, he tied them with a strong rope, and led her to a stool under a large hook in the joist, put in for the purpose. He made her get upon the stool, and tied her hands to the hook. She now stood fair for his infernal purpose. Her arms were stretched up at their full length, so that she stood upon the ends of her toes. He then said to her, "Now, you d----d b---h, I'll learn you how to disobey my orders!" and after rolling up his sleeves, he commenced to lay on the heavy cowskin, and soon the warm, red blood (amid heart-rending shrieks from her, and horrid oaths from him) came dripping to the floor. I was so terrified and horror-stricken at the sight, that I hid myself in a closet, and dared not venture out till long after the bloody transaction was over. I expected it would be my turn next. It was all new to me. I had never seen any thing like it before. I had always lived with my grandmother on the outskirts of the plantation, where she was put to raise the children of the younger women. I had therefore been, until now, out of the way of the bloody scenes that often occurred on the plantation. In Sparrowtown, the use of landlines has been declining at a rate of 5% every year.
