What additional information do you need to prove △ABC ≅ △DEF by the SSS Postulate? A. BC = EF B. AB = DE C. AC = DF

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) y=3x-1

The standard equation of a line is given by:

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope of the line and c is the intercept on the y axis.

Given that y=3x-1, comparing with the standard equation of a line, the slope (m) = 3, Two lines with slope a and b are perpendicular if the product of their slope is -1 i.e. ab = -1. Let the line perpendicular to y=3x-1 be d, to get the slope of the perpendicular line, we use:

3 × d = -1

d = -1/3

To find the equation of the perpendicular line passing through (0,0), we use:

[tex]y-y_1=d(x-x_1)\\d\ is\ the \ slope:\\y-0=-\frac{1}{3} (x-0)\\y=-\frac{1}{3}x[/tex]

To find  x if the point P(x, 4) lies on the new line, insert y = 4 and find x:

[tex]y=-\frac{1}{3}x\\ 4=-\frac{1}{3}x\\-x=12\\x=-12[/tex]

b) y=1/4 x+2

Given that y=1/4 x+2, comparing with the standard equation of a line, the slope (m) = 1/4. Let the line perpendicular to y=1/4 x+2 be f, to get the slope of the perpendicular line, we use:

1/4 × f = -1

f = -4

To find the equation of the perpendicular line passing through (0,0), we use:

[tex]y-y_1=f(x-x_1)\\f\ is\ the \ slope:\\y-0=-4 (x-0)\\y=-4x[/tex]

To find  x if the point P(x, 4) lies on the new line, insert y = 4 and find x:

[tex]y=-4}x\\ 4=-4x\\x=-1[/tex]

Answer:

0.8390

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Z score = (Value-mean)/standard deviation

Z score = (150.2-160.5)/10.4

Z score = -0.9904.

P(x>Z) = 1- P(x<Z)

From the Z table,

P(x<Z) = 0.16099

Therefore,

P(x>Z) = 1-0.16099

P(x>Z) = 0.8390

Hence the probability that a person weighs more than 150.2 pounds = 0.8390

Similar triangles have side lengths that are proportional to each other. To find each of the missing lengths, we need to set up proportions.

The proportions will look as follows:

(length or unknown of triangle 1) / (length or unknown of triangle 2) = (length of triangle 1) / (length of triangle 2)

-On both sides, remember to be consistent with which length/unknown you put on top! If a triangle 1 length is the numerator on the left, then it also needs to be the numerator on the right! And this also works vice versa with triangle 2.

In each proportion equation, we can only have one unknown. On the left side of the equation, we choose one length or unknown of triangle 1, and the corresponding side length of unknown of triangle 2 (whichever you did not choose from triangle 1). On the right side of the equation, we use a completed proportion. This is because all of the sides of one triangle are proportional to the other triangle, but we need to know that proportion/ratio in order to find other side lengths.

Let's start with problem a, to show how this works:

Triangle 1 side lengths - 16, a, 11

Triangle 2 side lengths - 8, 3, b

As you can tell, the side lengths match up (corresponding!) on each triangle, as in they are in the same position on each triangle. Now, we will set up a proportion to find the length of side a on triangle 1.

a / 3 = 16 / 8

48 = 8a

a = 6

Next, let's find the length of side b on triangle 2.

11 / b = 16 / 8

16b = 88

b = 5.5

Moving on to problem b, we'll apply the same concept and steps from problem a in order to find the missing side lengths.

Triangle 1 side lengths: 5, 5.5, d

Triangle 2 side lengths: 15, c, 18

5 / 15 = 5.5 / c

5c = 82.5

c = 16.5

5 / 15 = d / 18

15d = 90

d = 6

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

On a) you can see the shapes are simular. The blue line signatures that they are equal just reduced. You can see that 8 goes into 16 two times so for the orange line 3 must times 2. Which would mean a is 6. Now on the red line all you see is 11. So divide 11 by 2 and your answer should be 5.5 for b.

On b) it is the same thing but you have to find how the blue line is divisible. 5 divided by 15 is 3. So 3 is the number you will be using to divide or multiply. For the orange line you divide 18 by 3. The answer is 6 for d. For the red line 5.5 times 3 and you should get 11 for c.

Answer:

(C) Translation of 2 units right, 1 up, and a reflection over the y-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ideally, we are looking for a reflection of the red image over the y-axis, and to do that, we can see how we need to move the black image.

In order for points Q and Q' to be a reflection of each other, they need to have the same y value, and be the exact same distance from the y axis, so the point that Q has to be at is (-1,-3).

Q is right now at (-3,-4) so we can translate this.

To get from -3 to -1 in the x-axis, we go right by 2 units.

To get from -4 to -3 in the y-axis, we go up one unit.

Now, if we reflect it, the triangles will be the same.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you study the images, it is clear that the black triangle has to be reflected over the y-axis to face the same direction as the red triangle. So, choice A is eliminated.

Once you reflect the black triangle across the y-axis, you have points at (-1, -1), (3, -4), and (3, -2). Meanwhile, the red triangle's coordinates are at (-3, 0), (1, -3), and (1, -1). From these points, you can tell that the x-values differ by 2 units and the y-values differ by 1 unit.

All of these conditions match the ones put forth in option C, so that is your answer.

Hope this helps!

Standard form: [tex]12x+3y-2=0[/tex]

A = 12, B = 3 and C = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The equation:

[tex]y= -4x + \dfrac{2}3[/tex]

To find:

The standard form of given equation and find A, B and C.

Solution:

First of all, let us write the standard form of an equation.

Standard form of an equation is represented as:

[tex]Ax+By+C=0[/tex]

A is the coefficient of x and can be positive or negative.

B is the coefficient of y and can be positive or negative.

C can also be positive or negative.

Now, let us consider the given equation:

[tex]y= -4x + \dfrac{2}3[/tex]

Multiplying the whole equation with 3 first:

[tex]3 \times y= 3 \times -4x + 3 \times \dfrac{2}3\\\Rightarrow 3y=-12x+2[/tex]

Now, let us take all the terms on one side:

[tex]\Rightarrow 3y+12x-2=0\\\Rightarrow 12x+3y-2=0[/tex]

Now, let us compare with [tex]Ax+By+C=0[/tex].

So, A = 12, B = 3 and C = -2

Answer:

x = -1.964636

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation;

eˣ = 4 - x²

This can be re-written as;

eˣ - 4 + x² = 0

Let

f(x) = eˣ - 4 + x²    -----------(i)

To use Newton's method, we need to get the first derivative of the above equation as follows;

f¹(x) = eˣ - 0 + 2x

f¹(x) = eˣ + 2x         -----------(ii)

The graph of f(x) has been attached to this response.

As shown in the graph, the curve intersects the x-axis twice - around x = -2 and x = 1. These are the approximate roots of the equation.

Since the question requires that we use the negative root, then we start using the Newton's law with a guess of x₀ = -2 at n=0

From Newton's method,

[tex]x_{n+1} = x_n + \frac{f(x_{n})}{f^1(x_{n})}[/tex]

=> When n=0, the equation becomes;

[tex]x_{1} = x_0 - \frac{f(x_{0})}{f^1(x_{0})}[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = -2 - \frac{f(-2)}{f^1(-2)}[/tex]

Where f(-2) and f¹(-2) are found by plugging x = -2 into equations (i) and (ii) as follows;

f(-2) = e⁻² - 4 + (-2)²

f(-2) = e⁻² = 0.13533528323

And;

f¹(2) = e⁻² + 2(-2)

f¹(2) = e⁻² - 4 = -3.8646647167

Therefore

[tex]x_{1} = -2 - \frac{0.13533528323}{-3.8646647167}[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = -2 - \frac{0.13533528323}{-3.8646647167}[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = -2 - -0.03501863503[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = -2 + 0.03501863503[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = -1.9649813649[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = -1.96498136[/tex]         [to 8 decimal places]

=> When n=1, the equation becomes;

[tex]x_{2} = x_1 - \frac{f(x_{1})}{f^1(x_{1})}[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = -1.96498136 - \frac{f(-1.9649813)}{f^1(-1.9649813)}[/tex]

Following the same procedure as above we have

[tex]x_{2} = -1.96463563[/tex]

=> When n=2, the equation becomes;

[tex]x_{3} = x_2 - \frac{f(x_{2})}{f^1(x_{2})}[/tex]

[tex]x_{3} = -1.96463563- \frac{f( -1.96463563)}{f^1( -1.96463563)}[/tex]

Following the same procedure as above we have

[tex]x_{3} = -1.96463560[/tex]

From the values of [tex]x_2[/tex] and [tex]x_3[/tex], it can be seen that there is no change in the first 6 decimal places, therefore, it is safe to say that the value of the negative root of the equation is approximately  -1.964636 to 6 decimal places.

Newton's method of approximation is one of the several ways of estimating values.

The approximated value of [tex]\mathbf{e^x = 4 - x^2}[/tex] to 6 decimal places is [tex]\mathbf{ -1.964636}[/tex]

The equation is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{e^x = 4 - x^2}[/tex]

Equate to 0

[tex]\mathbf{4 - x^2 = 0}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{x^2 = 4}[/tex]

Take square roots of both sides

[tex]\mathbf{ x= \pm 2}[/tex]

So, the negative root is:

[tex]\mathbf{x = -2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{e^x = 4 - x^2}[/tex] becomes [tex]\mathbf{f(x) = e^x - 4 + x^2 }[/tex]

Differentiate

[tex]\mathbf{f'(x) = e^x +2x }[/tex]

Using Newton's method of approximation, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{x_{n+1} = x_n - \frac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)}}[/tex]

When x = -2, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{f'(-2) = e^{(-2)} +2(-2) = -3.86466471676}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{f(-2) = e^{-2} - 4 + (-2)^2 = 0.13533528323}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{x_{1} = -2 - \frac{0.13533528323}{-3.86466471676}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x_{1} = -2 + \frac{0.13533528323}{3.86466471676}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x_{1} = -1.96498136}[/tex]

Repeat the above process for repeated x values.

We have:

[tex]\mathbf{x_{2} = -1.96463563}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x_{3} = -1.96463560}[/tex]

Up till the 6th decimal places,

[tex]\mathbf{x_2 = x_3}[/tex]

Hence, the approximated value of [tex]\mathbf{e^x = 4 - x^2}[/tex] to 6 decimal places is [tex]\mathbf{ -1.964636}[/tex]

Answer:

0.0668 or 6.68%

Step-by-step explanation:

Variance (V) = 10,000

Standard deviation (σ) = √V= 100

Mean score (μ) = 500

The z-score for any test score X is:

[tex]z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

For X = 650:

[tex]z=\frac{650-500}{100}\\z=1.5[/tex]

A z-score of 1.5 is equivalent to the 93.32nd percentile of a normal distribution. Therefore, the probability that he or she will make a score of 650 or more is:

[tex]P(X\geq 650)=1-P(X\leq 650)\\P(X\geq 650)=1-0.9332\\P(X\geq 650)=0.0668=6.68\%[/tex]

The probability is 0.0668 or 6.68%

The probability that he or she will make a score of 650 or more is 0.0668.

Let X = Scores made on a certain aptitude test by nursing students

X follows normal distribution with mean = 500 and variance of 10,000.

Answer:

a) percentage of the employees that will experience lost-time accidents in both years = 1.2%

b) percentage of the employees that will suffer at least one lost-time accident over the two-year period = 10.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

given

percentage of lost time accident last year

P(L) = 8% = 0.08 of the employees

percentage of lost time accident current year

P(C) = 4% = 0.04 of the employees

P(C/L) = 15% = 0.15

using the probability

P(L ∩ C) = P(C/L) × P(L)

= 0.08 × 0.15 = 0.012 = 1.2%

percentage of the employees will experience lost-time accidents in both years = 1.2%

b) Using the probability of the event

P(L ∪ C) = P(L) + P(C) - P(L ∩ C)

= 0.08 + 0.04 -0.012 = 0.108 = 10.8%

percentage of the employees will suffer at least one lost-time accident over the two-year period = 10.8%

So , x = -7 and x = 6

Let the function be f ( x ) where f ( x ) = ( x + 7 ) ( x - 6 )

Now , as x tends to infinity , the negative makes no such difference on the zeros of the function f ( x ) ,

And , f ( x ) = - ( x + 7 ) ( x - 6 )

Therefore , to find the polynomial function , f ( x ) = - ( x + 7 ) ( x - 6 )

f ( x ) = - [ x² - 6 x + 7 x - 42 ]

The sum of 2/5 + 5/3 + 9/3 is 6/15 + 25/15 + 45/15, which is 76/15 or [tex]5\frac{1}{15}[/tex].

Answer:

The elevation of the airplane decreases by 9 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the distance-rate-time formula: d = rt.

Here, the rate is r = 0.15 km/min and the time is t = 60 min. Simply plug these into the formula:

d = rt

d = 0.15 * 60 = 9 km

So, the change in elevation in the last 60 minutes is 9 km. However, note that the rate is negative (-0.15 km/min), which means that the elevation actually is decreasing.

Thus, the answer is: the elevation of the airplane decreases by 9 km.

Answer:

8lb of the cheaper Candy

17.5lb of the expensive candy

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cheaper candy be x

let the costly candy be y

X+y = 25.5....equation one

2.2x +7.3y = 25.5(5.7)

2.2x +7.3y = 145.35.....equation two

X+y = 25.5

2.2x +7.3y = 145.35

Solving simultaneously

X= 25.5-y

Substituting value of X into equation two

2.2(25.5-y) + 7.3y = 145.35

56.1 -2.2y +7.3y = 145.35

5.1y = 145.35-56.1

5.1y = 89.25

Y= 89.25/5.1

Y= 17.5

X= 25.5-y

X= 25.5-17.5

X= 8

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{ \sf 41.81}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is a right triangle.

We can use trigonometric functions.

[tex]\sf sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]\sf sin(?)=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\sf ?=sin^{-1}(\frac{2}{3})[/tex]

[tex]\sf ?= 41.81031489...[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{41.81}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

∠B is opposite of side AC, which has a length of 2 units. The hypotenuse of the triangle is equivalent to 3 units.

The trigonometric function that uses the opposite side and the hypotenuse is sine function. This is represented by [tex]sin = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex]. The side that is opposite to the angle being solved for is the opposite side (it does not border the angle and it is not the hypotenuse).

However, you are solving for an angle. So, you need to use the inverse sine function ([tex]sin^{-1}[/tex]) to solve this question properly.

Simply type into a calculator [tex]sin^{-1} (\frac{2}{3})[/tex] and it will evaluate the answer to approximately 41.81°.
