Answer:
RS = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Secant QU = internal secant segment PU + external secant segment PQ = 7 + 9 = 16
Secant QS = internal secant segment RS + external secant segment RQ = (3x - 5) + 8
To find the measure of RS, we need to find the value of x.
Thus, recall the "Two Secant Theorem"
According to the theorem,
(RS + RQ)*RQ = (PU + PQ)*PQ
Thus,
[tex] (3x - 5 + 8)*8 = (7 + 9)*9 [/tex]
[tex] (3x + 3)*8 = (16)*9 [/tex]
[tex] 24x + 24 = 144 [/tex]
Subtract 24 from both sides
[tex] 24x + 24 - 24 = 144 - 24 [/tex]
[tex] 24x = 120 [/tex]
Divide both sides by 24
[tex] \frac{24x}{24} = \frac{120}{24} [/tex]
[tex] x = 5 [/tex]
Plug in the value of x into (3x - 5) to find the measure of RS
RS = 3(5) - 5 = 15 - 7
RS = 8

Step-by-step explanation: I took the edge quiz and it was right.
The cost of plastering the 4 walls of a room which is 4m high and breadth one third of its length is Rs. 640 at the rate of Rs. 5/m². What will be the cost of carpeting its floor at the rate of Rs. 250/m².
Answer:
Rs. 32,000
Step-by-step explanation:
height = 4m
let length = x m
breadth = x/3 m
Area of the 4 walls = 2(length × height) + 2(breadth × height)
Area = 2(4×x) + 2(4 × x/3) = 8x + (8x)/3
Area = (32x)/3 m²
1 m² = Rs. 5
The cost for an area that is (32x)/3 m²= (32x)/3 × 5 Rs.
The cost of plastering 4 walls at Rs.5 per m² = 640
(32x)/3 × 5 = 640
(160x)/3 = 640
x = length = 12
Area = (32x)/3 m² = (32×12)/3 = 128m²
The cost of carpeting its floor at the rate of Rs. 250/m²:
= 128m² × Rs. 250/m² = 32,000
The cost of carpeting its floor at the rate of Rs. 250/m² = Rs. 32,000
Find the difference of functions at x= - 3, (g - f)(-3), given f(x) and g(x): g(x) = x^2−15, and f(x) =2x
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:-
We are given two functions as follows:
[tex]f ( x ) = x^2 - 15\\\\g ( x ) = 2x[/tex]
We need to determine the composite function defined as ( g - f ) ( x ). To determine this function we need to make sure that both function exist for all real positive value of x.
The function f ( x ) is a quadratic function which has real values for all values of x. Similarly, function g ( x ) is a linear line that starts from the origin. Hence, both functions are defined over the domain ( -∞, ∞ )
We will perform arithmetic operation of subtracting function f ( x ) from g ( x ) as follows:
[tex][ g - f ] ( x ) = g ( x ) - f ( x )\\\\\\( g - f ) ( x ) = x^2 - 15 - 2x\\\\[/tex]
Now evaluate the above determined function at x = -3 as follows:
[tex]( g - f ) ( -3 ) = ( -3 )^2 - 2 ( -3 ) - 15\\\\( g - f ) ( -3 ) = 9 + 6 - 15\\\\( g - f ) ( -3 ) = 0[/tex]
Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-3, -8) and (4,6).
Answer:
slope = 2Step-by-step explanation:
The formula of a slope:
[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
We have
[tex](-3;\ -8)\to x_1=-3;\ y_1=-8\\(4;\ 6)\to x_2=4;\ y_2=6[/tex]
Substitute:
[tex]m=\dfrac{6-(-8)}{4-(-3)}=\dfrac{6+8}{4+3}=\dfrac{14}{7}=2[/tex]
The formula for the slope m of the line that passes through two points [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2, y_2)[/tex] is the following:
[tex]m=\dfrac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}[/tex]
We have points (4,6) and (-3,-8). Let's plug these values into the formula for slope:
[tex]m=\dfrac{6-(-8)}{4-(-3)}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{14}{7}=2[/tex]
The slope of the line passing through the two points is 2. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

WILL MARK AS BRAINLIEST 4. Suppose there is a card game where you are dealt a hand of three cards. You have already learned that the total number of three-card hands that can be dealt from a deck of 52 cards is: 52C3=52!/49!3! 52C3=22100 Calculate the probability of getting a hand that has exactly two aces in it (A A X). Do this by finding out the number of possible hands that have exactly two aces, and then dividing by the total possible number of three-card hands that is stated above. Part A: Use the multiplication principle to tell the total number of three-card hands (permutations) that can be made with two aces. (2 points) Part B: In the answer from Part I, each two-ace hand got counted twice. For example, A A X got counted as a separate hand from A A X. Since order should not matter in a card hand, these are really the same hand. What is the actual number of two-ace hands (combinations) you can get from a deck of 52 cards?(2 points) Part C: Find the probability of drawing a three-card hand that includes two aces from a deck of 52 cards. Write your answer as a fraction. (2 points)
Answer:
Part A- 6
Part B- 3
Part C- 3/22100
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A-
Use the permutation formula and plug in 3 for n and 2 for k.
nPr=n!/(n-k)!
3P2=3!/(3-2)!
Simplify.
3P2=3!/1!
3P2=6
Part B-
Use the combination formula and plug in 3 for n and 2 for k.
nCk=n!/k!(n-k)!
3C2=3!/2!(3-2)!
Simplify.
3C2=3!/2!(1!)
3C2=3
Part C-
It is given that the total number of three-card hands that can be dealt from a deck of 52 cards is 22100. Use the fact that the probability of something equals the total successful outcomes over the sample space. In this case the total successful outcomes is 3 and the sample space is 22100.
I believe the answer is 3/22100
I honestly suck at probability but I tried my best.

In a soccer league, the ratio of boys to girls is 4 to 6. There are a total of 50 players in the soccer league. Determine how many girls play in the soccer league.
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
We can call the number of boys 4x and girls 6x so we can write:
4x + 6x = 50
10x = 50
x = 5, therefore the number of girls is 6x = 6 * 5 = 30.
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
In the ratio 4:6, we can think of this like 4 boys and 6 girls out of 10 team members.
We can find how many girls play by multiplying 6 by 5, since 50 divided by 10 is 5.
6(5) = 30, so 30 girls play in the soccer league.
The amount of time to complete a physical activity in a PE class is approximately normally normally distributed with a mean of 32.9 seconds and a standard deviation of 6.4 seconds.
A) What is the probability that a randomly chosen student completes the activity in less than 33.2 seconds?
B) What is the probability that a randomly chosen student completes the activity in more than 46.6 seconds?
C) What proportion of students take between 35.5 and 42.8 seconds to complete the activity?
D) 75% of all students finish the activity in less than____seconds.
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that mean (μ) of 32.9 seconds and a standard deviation (σ) of 6.4 seconds.
The z score is used to measure by how many standard deviation the raw score is above or below the mean. It is given by:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\[/tex]
a) For x < 33.2 seconds
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{33.2-32.9}{6.4} =0.05[/tex]
From the normal distribution table, the probability that a randomly chosen student completes the activity in less than 33.2 seconds = P(x < 33.2) = P(z < 0.05) = 0.5199 = 51.99%
b) For x > 46.6 seconds
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{46.6-32.9}{6.4} =2.14[/tex]
From the normal distribution table, the probability that a randomly chosen student completes the activity in more than 46.6 seconds = P(x > 46.6) = P(z > 2.14) = 1 - P(z < 2.14) = 1 - 0.9927 = 0.0073 = 0.73%
c) For x = 35.5 seconds
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{35.5-32.9}{6.4} =0.41[/tex]
For x = 42.8 seconds
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{42.8-32.9}{6.4} =1.55[/tex]
From the normal distribution table, the proportion of students take between 35.5 and 42.8 seconds to complete the activity = P(35.5 < x < 42.8) = P(0.41< z< 1.55) = P(z < 1.55) - P(z < 0.41) = 0.9332 - 0.6591 = 0.2741 = 27.41%
d) A probability of 75% = 0.75 corresponds to a z score of 0.68
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\0.68=\frac{x-32.9}{6.4} \\\\x-32.9=4.4\\x=4.4+32.9\\x=37.3[/tex]
75% of all students finish the activity in less than 37.3 seconds
Alex has built a garden shed in the shape shown.
(A) Alex plans to paint the outside of the shed, including the roof but not the floor. One can of paint can cover 6m^2 . How many cans of paint will Alex need.
(B)If one can of paint costs $25.50, what will the cost be including 13% tax.
Answer:
A) 22 cans required to paint
B) Including 13% tax, cost of painting = $633.93
Step-by-step explanation:
As we check the figure, we have a composite figure.
Cuboid on the base and a pyramid on the top of it.
To find the area to be painted, we have 4 rectangular faces of cuboid with dimensions 6m [tex]\times[/tex] 3m.
And 4 triangular faces of pyramid with Base = 6m and Height 5m.
So, total area to be painted = 4 rectangular faces + 4 triangular faces
Area of rectangle = Length [tex]\times[/tex] Width = 6 [tex]\times[/tex] 3 = 18 [tex]m^2[/tex]
Area of triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times Base \times Height =\frac{1}{2}\times 6 \times 5 = 15\ m^{2}[/tex]
Total area to be painted = 4 \times 18 + 4 \times 15 = 72 + 60 = 132 [tex]m^2[/tex]
A) Area painted by 1 can = 6 [tex]m^2[/tex]
Cans required to paint 132 [tex]m^2[/tex] = [tex]\frac{132}{6} = 22\ cans[/tex]
B)
Cost of 1 can = $25.50
Cost of 22 can = $25.50 [tex]\times[/tex] 22 = $561
Including tax of 13% = $561 + $561 [tex]\times \frac{13}{100}[/tex] = $561 + $72.93 = $633.93
So, the answers are:
A) 22 cans required to paint
B) Including 13% tax, cost of painting = $633.93
A rectangular parking lot has an area of 7/10 km 2.The width is 1/3 km 2 .What is the length of the parking lot written as a improper fraction ,in kilometers
Answer:
[tex]\dfrac{21}{10}\text{ km}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
Area of rectangular plot [tex]=\dfrac{7}{10}\text{ km}^2[/tex]
Width of rectangular plot [tex]=\dfrac{1}{3}\text{ km}[/tex]
We need to find the length of the parking lot.
We know that,
[tex]\text{Area of rectangle}=length\times width[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{7}{10}=length\times \dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{7\times 3}{10}=length[/tex]
[tex]length=\dfrac{21}{10}[/tex]
Therefore, length of the parking lot is [tex]\dfrac{21}{10}\text{ km}[/tex].

Find the probability of each event. A six-sided die is rolled seven times. What is the probability that the die will show an even number at most five times?
Answer:
[tex]\dfrac{15}{16}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
When a six sided die is rolled, the possible outcomes can be:
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Even numbers are {2, 4, 6}
Odd Numbers are {1, 3, 5}
Probability of even numbers:
[tex]\dfrac{\text{Favorable cases}}{\text{Total cases }} = \dfrac{3}{6} = \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
This is binomial distribution.
where probability of even numbers, [tex]p =\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Probability of not getting even numbers (Getting odd numbers) [tex]q =\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Probability of getting r successes out of n trials:
[tex]P(r) = _nC_r\times p^r q^{n-r}[/tex]
Probability of getting even numbers at most 5 times out of 7 is given as:
P(0) + P(1) +P(2) + P(3) +P(4) + P(5)
[tex]\Rightarrow _7C_0\times \frac{1}{2}^0 \frac{1}{2}^{7}+_7C_1\times \frac{1}{2}^1 \frac{1}{2}^{6}+_7C_2\times \frac{1}{2}^2 \frac{1}{2}^{5}+_7C_3\times \frac{1}{2}^3 \frac{1}{2}^{4}+_7C_4\times \frac{1}{2}^4 \frac{1}{2}^{3}+_7C_5\times \frac{1}{2}^5 \frac{1}{2}^{2}[/tex]

How many real roots and how many complex roots exist for the polynomial
F(x) - X4+ x2 - 5x2 + x -- 6?
O A. 2 real roots and 2 complex roots
B. O real roots and 4 complex roots
O c. 3 real roots and 1 complex root
D. 4 real roots and 0 complex roots
Answer:
D. 4 real roots and 0 complex roots
Step-by-step explanation:
If I assume that the function you are saying is
[tex]F(x)=x^4+x^3-5x^2+x-6[/tex]
There should be up to "4 roots," there can't be more or less than 4 total solutions. First, we need to check how many sign changes are there in this function. There are 3 positive real roots. Now lets check for negative roots.
[tex]F(-x)=x^4-x^3-5x^2-x-6[/tex]
There are is only 1 negative real root. Since we basically have 4 real roots, and the max is 4. There should be 4 real roots and 0 complex roots.
Luke is organising a camping trip for the youth club. He is looking at the temperature and rainfall charts for Brighton and Newquay. What is the probability of it raining in July in Brighton? Give your answer as a fraction.
Answer:
The answer is 15.6/31 or 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The data in the question is sufficient to find an answer for it.
1. I look at the temperature and rainfall chart for Brighton, United Kingdom.
2. Check for rainy season and dry season.
3. The rainy season lasts approximately 5 months while the dry season (which still has some rainfall) lasts approximately 7 months. All together, 12 months of the calendar year.
4. July happens to fall within the dry season. The temperature and rainfall statistics are observed.
The number of rainfall days is 15.6 and we know there are 31 days in July.
If the approximate number of days it rains in Brighton, in July, is 15.6 then the probability of rainfall in the month is 15.6/31 which is = 0.503 or 0.5
Therefore, there's a 50% chance of having rainfall in Brighton, on any day in the month of July.
In fraction, 0.5 = 1/2

$219 - $13.14 + $7.50 (shipping cost) = $213.36
An article in Fire Technology, 2014 (50.3) studied the effectiveness of sprinklers in fire control by the number of sprinklers that activate correctly. The researchers estimate the probability of a sprinkler to activate correctly to be 0.7. Suppose that you are an inspector hired to write a safety report for a large ballroom with 10 sprinklers. Assume the sprinklers activate correctly or not independently. (a) What is the probability that all of the sprinklers will operate correctly in a fire
Answer:
probability that all of the sprinklers will operate correctly in a fire: 0.0282
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this question we will use Binomial probability distribution because:
In the question it is given that the sprinklers activate correctly or not independently. The number of outcomes are two i.e. sprinklers activate correctly or not.A binomial distribution is a probability of a success or failures outcomes in an repeated multiple or n times.
Number of outcomes of this distributions are two.
The formula is:
b(x; n, P) = [tex]C_{n,x}*p^{x} * (1 - p)^{n-x}[/tex]
b = binomial probability also represented as P(X=x)
x =no of successes
P = probability of a success on a single trial
n = no of trials
[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is calculated as:
[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] = n! / x!(n – x)!
= 10! / 10!(10-10)!
= 1
According to given question:
probability of success i.e. p = 0.7 i.e. probability of a sprinkler to activate correctly.
number of trials i.e. n = 10 as number of sprinklers are 10
To find: probability that all of the sprinklers will operate correctly in a fire
X = 10 because we have to find the probability that "all" of the sprinklers will operate correctly and there are 10 sprinklers so all 10 of them
So putting these into the formula:
P(X=x) = [tex]C_{n,x}*p^{x} * (1 - p)^{n-x}[/tex]
= C₁₀,₁₀ * 0.7¹⁰ * (1-0.7)¹⁰⁻¹⁰
= 1 * 0.0282 * (0.3) ⁰
= 1 * 0.0282 * 1
P(X=x) = 0.0282
