Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

3x - 3       2x - 2

=====  =  ======                       Cross Multiply

5              4

4(3x - 3) = 5(2x - 2)                   Remove the brackets. Distributive Property

12x - 12 = 10x - 10                     Subtract 10 x from both sides

12x-10x - 12 = 10x-10x - 10       Combine

2x - 12 = - 10                             Add 12  to both sides

2x-12+12 = -10 + 12                   Combine  

2x = 2                                       Divide by 2

2x/2 = 2/2

What is standard error?

The standard error (SE) of a statistic is the standard deviation of its sampling distribution or an estimate of that standard deviation.

According to the question,

In a random sample of 250 students,

p= 0.98 (or 98%) were in favor of longer hours at the school library.

The standard error of p(the sample proportion) is (approximately)

The standard error of p =   [tex]\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }[/tex]

p = 0.98

1 - p = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02

Here,

n = 250

The standard error of p =   [tex]\sqrt{ \frac{0.98 (0.02) }{250}[/tex]

The standard error of p ≈   0.072

Which of the following expressions are equal to -8/11 - 3/4 - 1/4

Answers

In the expressions that we are given, we can note that there is a negative in all of them. This means that we can factor out the negative.

With the negative factored out, it will look like this: [tex]-(\frac{8}{11} + \frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{4} )[/tex]
The reasoning for this is because you distribute the negative to each term. For example 8/11 is a term, and so is 3/4, and 1/4. So our first answer is D.

Another way we can do this is by combining like terms. We see that in the denominator for -3/4 and -1/4 they both share 4. We can combine it so it becomes -4/4 or -1. It would be E.

The third way
we can do this is by rewriting it. Answer A rewrites it so that it is + -, effectively just -. This allows us to treat the equation as if it were the original one.

In airline​ applications, failure of a component can result in catastrophe. As a​ result, many airline components utilize something called triple modular redundancy. This means that a critical component has two backup components that may be utilized should the initial component fail. Suppose a certain critical airline component has a probability of failure of 0.0056 and the system that utilizes the component is part of a triple modular redundancy.
​(a) Assuming each​ component's failure/success is independent of the​ others, what is the probability all three components​ fail, resulting in disaster for the​ flight?
​(b) What is the probability at least one of the components does not​ fail?

What is a Probability?

Probability is the likelihood for an event to occur. In a given statistical distribution, the probability explains the range of values and probabilities that a randomized variable could have.

From the given information;

Assuming each​ component's failure/success is independent of the​ others: the probability that all three components fail is:

P(three components fail) = (0.0056)^3

P(three components fail) = 1.756 × 10⁻⁷

The probability that at least one does not fail is:

P(at least one does not fail) = 1 - P(all three components fail)

P(at least one does not fail) = 1 - 1.756 × 10⁻⁷

P(at least one does not fail) = 0.9999998244

Math: Evaluating a piece wise function...help!

Answers

The values of the functions are g(-0.5) = -1, g(0.3) = 0 and g(0.5) = 1

How to evaluate the piece wise function?

The function is given as:

[tex]g(x) = \left[\begin{array}{cc}-2&-2.5 < x \le -1.5\\-1&-1.5 < x \le -0.5\\0&-0.5 < x < 0.5&1&0.5 \le x < 1.5\end{array}\right[/tex]

To calculate g(-0.5), we make use of the domain -1.5 < x ≤ -0.5

At this domain;

g(x) = -1

So, the value of g(-0.5) is

g(-0.5) = -1

To calculate g(0.3), we make use of the domain -0.5 < x  0.5

At this domain;

g(x) = 0

So, the value of g(0.3) is

g(0.3) = 0

To calculate g(0.5), we make use of the domain 0.5 ≤ x  1.5

At this domain;

g(x) = 1

So, the value of g(0.5) is

g(0.5) = 1

Hence, the values of the functions are g(-0.5) = -1, g(0.3) = 0 and g(0.5) = 1

the perimeter of a rectangle is 70 cm . if the ratio of the width to the length is 2:5 what is the width ?

Answers

Answer:

width = 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of width to length is 2 : 5 = 2x : 5x ( x is a multiplier )

the perimeter (P) of a rectangle is calculated as

P = 2 × width + 2 × length

given P = 70 then

2(2x) + 2(5x) = 70

4x + 10x = 70

14x = 70 ( divide both sides by 14 )

x = 5

Then

width = 2x = 2 × 5 = 10 cm and length = 5x = 5 × 5 = 25 cm

Therefore:

The angles are: A =24.7° ; B = 40.6° ; C =114.7°.

What is Cosine law?

The law of cosine helps in establishing a relationship between the lengths of sides of a triangle and the cosine of its angles. The cosine law in trigonometry generalizes the Pythagoras theorem, which applies to a right triangle.

Cosine Law

a² = b²+c²-2bc cos A

b² = c²+a² -2ca cos B

Sum of three angles of a triangle is 180°.

a = 34 ; b= 53; c = 74

Substituting the given values in the cosine law, we have

34² = 53² + 74² - 2*53 *74 * cos A

7844 cos A = 2809 + 5476 - 1156 = 7129

cos A = 7129/7844 = 0.9088

A = cos⁻¹ (0.9088) = 24.6600° = 24.7°

53² = 74² + 34² - 2 (74)(34) cos B

5032 cos B = 5476 + 1156 - 2809 = 3823

cos B = 3823/5032 = 0.7597

B = cos⁻¹ (0.7597) = 40.5622° = 40.6°

Also, A + B + C = 180°

24.7 + 40.6 + C =180

C =180 -  65.3 = 114.7°

Thus, the angles are: A =24.7° ; B = 40.6° ; C =114.7°

determine whether each pair of lines is perpendicular parallel or neither

Answers

Answer:

1st set of equations - parallel

2nd set - perpendicular

3rd set - neither

Step-by-step explanation:

First set:

simplify the equation for line 1  by dividing by -4: y = 0.5x + 1

simplify the equation for line 1  by dividing by -6: y = 0.5x - 1.5

Both have the same slope: 0.5 so the lines are parallel.

Second set:

simplify the equation for line 1  by dividing by 3: y = -2/3x + 4

simplify the equation for line 1  by dividing by -4: y = 3/2x - 7/4

-2/3 * 3/2 = -1, so the lines are perpendicular

Third set

simplify the equation for line 1  by dividing by 1/2: y = -2x+4

simplify the equation for line 1  by dividing by 2: y = -1/4x +2

-2x+4=-0.25x+2

-2x+0.25x=2-4

-1.75x=-2

x=1.14

y=-2(1.14)+4 = 1.7143. So there is an intersection point

The pair of lines 2x - 4y = -4 & 3x - 6y = 9, 2x + 3y = 12 & and 6x - 4y = 7, and x + (1/2)y = 2 & (1/2)x + 2y = 4 will be parallel lines, perpendicular lines, and neither parallel nor perpendicular, respectively.

What is a linear equation?

A connection between a number of variables results in a linear model when a graph is displayed. The variable will have a degree of one.

The linear equation is given as,

y = mx + c

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

The pair of lines is given as,

2x - 4y = -4     ⇒        y = (1/2)x + 1

3x - 6y = 9      ⇒        y = (1/2)x - 3/2

The pair of lines are parallel to each other because the slope is equal.

2x + 3y = 12     ⇒        y = -(2/3)x + 4

6x - 4y = 7       ⇒        y = (3/2) x - 7/4

The pair of lines are parallel to each other because the product of slopes is -1.

x + (1/2)y = 2        ⇒        2x + y = 4

(1/2)x + 2y = 4      ⇒        2x + 4y = 8

The pair of lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular to each other.

A ​20-ft by ​the 40-ft rectangular swimming pool is surrounded by a walkway of uniform width. If the total area of the walkway is 256 ft2​, how wide is the​ walkway?

Answers

Answer:  2 feet

========================================================

Explanation:

x = width of the walkway in feet

This is some positive real number.

The dimension of 20 feet bumps up to 20+2x when adding on x from both directions. Similarly, the 40 ft dimension becomes 40+2x

Refer to the diagram below.

The 20 ft by 40 ft pool is surrounded by a larger rectangle that is 20+2x ft by 40+2x ft

The pool itself is 20*40 = 800 sq ft. Add on the walkway area to get 800+256 = 1056 sq ft.

-----------

Area = length*width

1056 = (20+2x)*(40+2x)

1056 = 20*40 + 20*2x + 2x*40 + 2x*2x ... FOIL rule

1056 = 800 + 40x + 80x + 4x^2

0 = 4x^2 + 40x + 80x + 800 - 1056

0 = 4x^2 + 120x - 256

4x^2 + 120x -  256 = 0

4(x^2 + 30x - 64) = 0

x^2 + 30x - 64 = 0

Let's use the quadratic formula to finish solving for x.

Plug in a = 1, b = 30, c = -64

[tex]x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-30\pm\sqrt{(30)^2-4(1)(-64)}}{2(1)}\\\\x = \frac{-30\pm\sqrt{1156}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{-30\pm34}{2}\\\\x = \frac{-30+34}{2} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-30-34}{2}\\\\x = \frac{4}{2} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-64}{2}\\\\x = 2 \ \text{ or } \ x = -32\\\\[/tex]

Recall we made x be positive. This is because a negative walkway width does not make sense. This means we'll ignore x = -32.

The only practical solution is x = 2

Therefore, the walkway is 2 feet wide
