Paula stands on the side of a river and sights the opposite bank at an angle of depression of 7 degrees. if Paula is 5.5 feet tall, approximately how wide is the river, to the nearest foot?

Answers

Answer 1

The width of the river to the nearest foot will be 45 feet.

What is a right-angle triangle?

It's a form of a triangle with one 90-degree angle that follows Pythagoras' theorem and can be solved using the trigonometry function.

Paula remains on a waterway and sights the contrary bank at a point of the wretchedness of 7 degrees.

If Paula is 5.5 feet tall.

Let 'w' be the width of the river. Then the width of the river will be given as,

tan 7° = 5.5 / w

0.12278 = 5.5 / w

w = 44.79

w ≈ 45 feet

The width of the river to the nearest foot will be 45 feet.

(f-g)(x)if f(x)=/16x4 and g(x)=3x2-3x-5

Answers

The value of the function  (f - g)(x) is x² + 3x + 5

How to solve functions?

A function is defined as a relation between a set of inputs having one output each.

In a simpler terms, a function relates input and output.

Therefore, let's solve the function (f - g)(x)

f(x) =  √16x⁴

g(x) = 3x² - 3x - 5

Therefore,

(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)

(f - g)(x) = √16x⁴ - (3x² - 3x - 5)

(f - g)(x) = √16x⁴ - 3x² + 3x + 5

(f - g)(x) = 4x² - 3x² + 3x + 5

The value of d in the expression, 4d/5+3 = -2-d/5, is -5.

According to the question,

We have the following expression:

4d/5+3 = -2-d/5

Now, moving the terms with the same variables on the left hand side will result in the change of the sign from minus to plus:

4d/5+d/5 -3 = -2

5d/5+3 = -2

d+3 = -2

Now, moving 3 from the left hand side to the right hand side will result in the change of the sign from plus to minus:

d = -2-3

We know that two negative integers are added but the sign before the result remains negative.

d = -5

Andy and Emily each go to a hardware store to buy wire. The table shows the cost y in dollars for x inches of the wire they need. Andy needs 24 feet of the wire. Emily needs 15 yards of the wire. How much will each of them spend for wire?​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Andy and Emily each go to a hardware store to buy wire. The table shows the cost y in dollars for x inches of the wire they need. Andy needs 24 feet of the wire. Emily needs 15 yards of the wire. How much will each of them spend for wire?​

Looking at your chart:

cost/length in inches

6/100 = $0.06 per inch

8.1/135 = $0.06 per inch

9.6/160 = $0.06 per inch

10.8/180 = $0.06 per inch

So the rate stays at a constant rate of $0.06 per inch.

Andy needs 24 feet or 288 inches at a constant rate of $0.06 per inch.

= 288 * $0.06  

= $17.28

________________________________

Emily needs 15 yards or 540 inches at a constant rate of $0.06 per inch.

T= 2 years

r = R/100

r = 8/100

What set of line segments could create a right triangle:

15, 30, 35 - 15, 36, 39 - 15, 20, 29 or 5, 15, 30

Answers

Answer:

  (b)  15, 36, 39

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know which sets of segment lengths could form a right triangle.

Right triangle

For segments to form a right triangle, the lengths must satisfy the triangle inequality and the Pythagorean theorem. The latter condition can often be determined by looking at the reduced ratios of the lengths, and comparing to known Pythagorean triples.

15, 30, 35

The ratio of lengths is 3:6:7. There are no integer side lengths that will form a right triangle when one of them is double another. Not a right triangle.

15, 36, 39

The ratio lengths is 5:12:13. These numbers are a common Pythagorean triple, so will form a right triangle.

15, 20, 29

The ratio of the smaller two numbers is 3:4. In order for these to form a right triangle, they must be part of a triangle with ratios 3:4:5. That would be 15, 20, 25. The side length 29 is too long for a right triangle. Not a right triangle.

5, 15, 30

The two short sides are too short to reach the ends of the long side. These lengths will not form a triangle.

__

Additional comment

The table in the attachment computes a²+b²-c². When that value is 0, the Pythagorean theorem is satisfied, and the triangle is a right triangle. Positive numbers indicate an acute triangle; negative numbers indicate an obtuse triangle.

The Pythagorean triples that came into play in this answer are {3, 4, 5} and {5, 12, 13}. Other triples commonly seen are {7, 24, 25} and {8, 15, 17}.

assuming all conditions for conducting a hypothesis test are met, what are the null and alternative hypothesis?

Answers

The null and alternative hypothesis regarding the test on whether the mean error is of zero is given by the following option:

D. H0: μ = 0 minutes, H1: μ ≠ 0 minutes.

How to identify the null and the alternative hypothesis in this test?

The first step in identifying the hypothesis is to identify the claim tested, given as follows:

The mean prediction error is equals to zero.

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if there is not enough evidence to go against the claim, hence we suppose that the mean is of zero minutes, as follows:

H0: μ = 0 minutes.

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, that is, if there is enough evidence to conclude that the mean prediction error is different of zero minutes, hence it is given as follows:

H1: μ ≠ 0 minutes.

Thus option D gives the correct null and alternative hypothesis in the context of this problem.

Find the Average Rate of Change (AROC) of y = 4(1/2)^x over the interval [-2, 0].
a) 6
b) -6
c) 4
d) -4

Answers

Answer:

b) -6

------------------------

Find the value of the function at the endpoints of the given interval

x = - 2 ⇒ y = 4(1/2)⁻² = 4(2)² = 4(4) = 16x = 0  ⇒ y = 4(1/2)⁰ = 4(1) = 4

Average rate of change is

Change in y / change in x =(4 - 16)/(0 - (-2)) = - 12 / 2 = - 6

Correct choice is B.

Answer:

b)  -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of function f(x) over the interval a ≤ x ≤ b is given by:

[tex]\dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]

Given the interval is [-2, 0]:

a = -2b = 0

Substitute the endpoints of the interval into the function and solve:

[tex]\begin{aligned}x=-2 \implies f(-2)&=4\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{-2}\\& = 4(4)\\&=16\end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}x=0 \implies f(0)&=4\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{0}\\& = 4(1)\\&=4\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies\dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}&=\dfrac{f(0)-f(-2)}{0-(-2)}\\\\&=\dfrac{4-16}{0+2}\\\\&=\dfrac{-12}{2}\\\\&=-6\end{aligned}[/tex]

less than 14 hours a day

Answers

There is not enough evidence to conclude that the mean is less than 14 hours, as the p-value of the test is greater than 0.05, using the t-distribution.

What are the hypothesis tested?

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the mean is not less than 14 hours, hence:

[tex]H_0: \mu \geq 14[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if there is enough evidence that the mean is less than 14 hours, hence:

[tex]H_1: \mu < 14[/tex]

What is the test statistic?

The test statistic is given by the equation presented as follows:

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

In which the parameters are defined as follows:

[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is the sample mean.[tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis.s is the standard deviation of the sample.n is the sample size.

In the context of this problem, the values of these parameters are:

[tex]\overline{x} = 13.5, \mu = 14, s = 3, n = 64[/tex]

Hence the test statistic is:

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

[tex]t = \frac{13.5 - 14}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{64}}}[/tex]

t = -1.33.

P-value and conclusion

Using a z-distribution calculator, with a left-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is less than a value, with t = -1.33 and 64 - 1 = 63 df, the p-value of the test is of 0.094.

Since the p-value of the test is greater than the significance level of 0.05, there is not enough evidence to conclude that the mean is less than 14 hours.

Answers

The ordered pairs of the function, h(x) = 3x², are (1,3) and (-1,3).

According to the question,

We have the following information:

h(x) = 3x²

Now, we will look at the options to know the correct option of ordered pairs.

Now, in the options, there are only two values of x (1 and -1). So, we will solve the given function using these two values and we will find the value of h(x).

h(x) = 3x²

h(1) = 3*1*1

h(1) = 3

So, the first ordered pair is (1,3).

When x = -1:

h(x) = 3x²

h(-1) = 3*-1*-1

h(-1) = 3

Now, the second ordered pair of the function is (-1,3).
