Answer:
The points that are on the line given by the equation y = x are:
A. (3, 3)
B. (2, 2)
D. (-1, -1)
E. (1, 1)
To check if a point is on the line, you can substitute its coordinates into the equation and see if the equation is true. For example, for point (3, 6), we have:
y = x
6 = 3
This is not true, so the point (3, 6) is not on the line. Repeat this process for each point to determine which points are on the line.

In an ossicles triangle the base is 65 which of the following expressions is a way to calculate the measure of the third triangle
The measure of the third angle in an isosceles triangle can be expressed using the expression of option c. 180° - 2(65°).
In an isosceles triangle,
Measure of the base angles is equal to 65°.
Let us consider the measure of the third angle in an isosceles triangle is equal to x degrees.
The two base angles are congruent.
Since each base angle measures 65°, the sum of the base angles is.
65° + 65° = 130°
The sum of the angles in any triangle is 180°.
This implies,
The measure of the third angle in the isosceles triangle is equal to,
x° + 130° = 180°
⇒ x° = 180° - 130°
⇒ x° = 50°
Therefore, the correct expression to calculate the measure of the third angle in an isosceles triangle is option (c) 180° - 2(65°).

(5,5π/6)
(10,4π/3)
(5,11π/6)
(10,5π/6)
(5,4π/3)
(10,11π/6)
Answer: The correct answer is (5, 11π/6). or C
Step-by-step explanation:
The polar coordinates of the point (x, y) = (5√3/2, -5/2) are (r, θ) = (5, 11π/6).
Explanation:
Using the formulas for converting Cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates:
r = √(x^2 + y^2)
θ = atan2(y, x)
Plugging in the given values:
r = √((5√3/2)^2 + (-5/2)^2)
= √(75/4 + 25/4)
= √(100/4)
= 5
θ = atan2(-5/2, 5√3/2)
≈ 11π/6 radians
So, the correct polar coordinates of the point (5√3/2, -5/2) are (r, θ) = (5, 11π/6).

Using the integers −9 to 9 at most one time each, place a digit in each box ( ___ , ____) and. ( ___ , ____) to create endpoints for the longest possible line segment both numerically and graphically whose midpoint is (1, 3)
Using the integers −9 to 9 at most one time each, place a digit in each box (1, 3) and (9, 3) or (-9, 3) to create endpoints for the longest possible line segment both numerically and graphically whose midpoint is (1, 3).
To find the endpoints of the longest possible line segment with midpoint (1, 3), we can use the midpoint formula, which states that the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2).
In this case, we know the midpoint is (1, 3), so we can set up two equations using the variables for the endpoints (x and y) and solve for them:
(x₁ + x₂)/2 = 1
(y₁ + y₂)/2 = 3
We also know that the line segment must be as long as possible, so the endpoints should be as far away from each other as possible. To maximize the distance between the endpoints, we can choose one endpoint to be -9 and the other endpoint to be 9. This gives us:
(x₁ + x₂)/2 = 1 => x₁ + x₂ = 2
(y₁ + y₂)/2 = 3 => y₁ + y₂ = 6
Now we can solve for x₁ and y₁, since x₂ and y₂ will be 2-x₁ and 6-y₁ respectively:
x₁ + (2-x₁) = 2 => x₁ = 1
y₁ + (6-y₁) = 6 => y₁ = 3
So the endpoints of the longest possible line segment with midpoint (1, 3) are (1, 3) and (9, 3) or (-9, 3), and its length is 8 units.

Determine the equation of the circle with center (0,−1) containing the point ( − 8 , 10 )
To find the equation of the circle with center (0, −1) that contains the point (−8, 10), we can use the standard form of the equation of a circle:
(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
where (h, k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius.
Since the center of the circle is given as (0, −1), we have:
(x - 0)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = r^2
We still need to find the radius, r. We know that the circle passes through the point (−8, 10), so we can substitute these values for x and y and solve for r:
(-8 - 0)^2 + (10 + 1)^2 = r^2
64 + 121 = r^2
r^2 = 185
So the equation of the circle is:
x^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 185
Alternatively, we can expand the equation to get it in standard form:
x^2 + y^2 + 2y + 1 = 185
x^2 + y^2 + 2y - 184 = 0
So another form of the equation is:
x^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 185

A scientist has 68 lbs of a material. In 40 years , there is 63.3 lbs left. How much will be there be left in 200 years?
Evaluating the exponential decay we can see that 200 years, there will be 47.43 pounds left of the material.
How much will be there be left in 200 years?A general exponential decay is:
f(x) = A*(b)^x
Where A is the initial value, b is the rate of decay, x is the variable.
We know that we start with 68 pounds, and after 40 years there are 63.3 pounds left, so we have an exponential decay:
63.3 = 68*(b)^40
Where b defines how it decays, we can solve that equation for b to get:
(63.3/68)^(1/40) = b
0.9982 = b
Then the decay is:
f(x) = 68*(0.9982)^x
The amount left after 200 years will be:
f(200) = 68*(0.9982)^200 = 47.43

hi how to integrate this
Integration of [tex]\int\limits^6_0 {\frac{8}{1+74e^{-0.3t} } } \, dt[/tex] is 2.199.
We can solve this integral using the substitution method, where u = 1 + 74[tex]e^{-0.3t}[/tex] . Taking the derivative of both sides, we have du/dt = -222[tex]e^{-0.3t}[/tex] .
We can rewrite the integral in terms of u:
∫[8/(1+74[tex]e^{-0.3t}[/tex] )]dt = ∫[8/u * (-1/222) * (-222[tex]e^{-0.3t}[/tex] )]du
Simplifying this expression, we have:
= (-8/222) ∫[1/u] du
= (-4/111) ln|u| + C
where C is the constant of integration.
Substituting back for u, we have:
= (-4/111) ln|1 + 74[tex]e^{-0.3t}[/tex] | + C
To evaluate the definite integral from 0 to 6, we plug in the limits of integration:
= (-4/111) [ln | 1 + 74[tex]e^{-0.3(6)}[/tex] | - ln | 1 + 74[tex]e^{-0.3(0)}[/tex] |]

According to your graphing calculator what is the approximate solution to the trigonometric inequality tan(x/4)<1/5 over the interval 0<= x<=2pi radians 
The approximate solution to the trigonometric inequality tan(x/4) < 1/5 over the interval 0 <= x <= 2π radians is 0 <= x <= 0.75. Option 1 is correct.
To solve the trigonometric inequality tan(x/4) < 1/5 over the interval 0 <= x <= 2π radians, we can use a graphing calculator and follow these steps:
Press the "mode" button on the calculator and make sure it is in radian mode.Enter the function "tan(x/4)" into the calculator.Press the "y=" button and enter "1/5" as the second function.Press the "graph" button to plot both functions on the same graph.Use the "trace" function or the cursor to find the points where the two graphs intersect.Check the values of x for which the tan(x/4) function is less than 1/5.Using this method, we can see that the two graphs intersect at approximately x = 0.75, x = 4.6, and x = 8.4 (or their equivalents within the interval 0 <= x <= 2π). We can also see that the tan(x/4) function is less than 1/5 between the first two intersection points (0 <= x <= 0.75 and 4.6 <= x <= 2π), but not between the second and third intersection points. Hence Option 1 is correct.

When 1370 subjects were asked, "On how many days in the past 7 days have you felt lonely?" the mean was 1.5 and the standard deviation was 2.16. The margin of error for a 95% confidence interval for the population mean is 0.12. Construct that confidence interval, and interpret it. The confidence interval goes from nothing to nothing. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Answer:
Confidence Interval = (1.41, 1.59)
Step-by-step explanation:
To construct a confidence interval for the population mean, we can use the following formula:
Confidence Interval = sample mean ± (margin of error * standard error)
where the standard error is equal to the standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size.
Given the information provided, we can calculate the standard error as:
standard error = 2.16 / sqrt(1370) = 0.058
Then, we can calculate the margin of error as 0.12.
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
Confidence Interval = 1.5 ± (0.12 * 0.058)
Confidence Interval = (1.41, 1.59)
Therefore, we can interpret the 95% confidence interval as follows: we are 95% confident that the true population mean of the number of days that people feel lonely in the past 7 days is between 1.41 and 1.59. This means that if we were to take many samples of 1370 subjects and compute the confidence intervals for each sample using the same method, we would expect about 95% of the intervals to contain the true population mean.

The average temperature for a dog is 101.8° F, but it can vary by as much as 0.7° F. Write an inequality to represent the normal temperature range of a dog, where t represents body temperature.
|t − 101.8| ≥ 0.7
|t − 101.8| ≤ 0.7
|t − 0.7| ≥ 101.8
|t − 0.7| ≤ 101.8
The correct inequality to represent the normal temperature range of a dog is |t − 101.8| ≤ 0.7. So, correct option is B.
Here, |t - 101.8| represents the absolute value of the difference between the body temperature of the dog (t) and the average temperature of dogs (101.8° F). The inequality states that this absolute value must be less than or equal to 0.7° F, which is the maximum amount that the temperature of a dog can vary from the average.
If the temperature of a dog is within this range, it is considered to have a normal body temperature. If the temperature is outside this range, it may indicate an underlying health issue or illness.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the relationship between the body temperature of a dog and the normal temperature range. For example, |t - 0.7| ≥ 101.8 makes no sense in the context of the problem, as there is no logical reason to subtract 0.7 from the body temperature.
So, correct option is B.

the surface area of a rectangular prism is 1,648 inches, the width is 16 inches and the hight is 20 inches. What is the length
Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
l = length, w = width, h = height.
The surface area of a rectangular prism is:
2lw + 2wh + 2lh.
If the total surface area is 1648, your equation will be:
2lw + 2wh + 2lh = 1648.
lw + wh + lh = 824.
Plug in your width and height values.
16l + 16*20 + 20l = 824.
36l = 504.
Length = 14.
[tex]\boxed{\sf l=14(in)}.[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:1. Write the surface area equation for rectangular prisms.[tex]\sf SA=2(wl+hl+hw)[/tex]
2. Substitute the variables by the given values in the formula.Surface area (SA)= 1,648 inches;
Width (w)= 16 inches;
Height (h)= 20 inches.
[tex]\sf 1648(in)=2((16(in))l+(20(in))l+(20(in))(16(in)))[/tex]
3. Simplify the expression.Let's remove the units for these steps to make the algebra a little bit easier to understand.
[tex]\sf 1648=2(16l+20l+320)\\ \\1648=2(36l+320)[/tex]
Here, we apply the distributive property of multiplication. Check attached image 1.
[tex]\sf 1648=(2)(36l)+(2)(320)\\\\1648=72l+640[/tex]
Now solving the equation for "l" to find its value.4. Subtract "640" from both sides of the equation.[tex]\sf 1648-640=72l+640-640\\ \\1008=72l\\ \\72l= 1008[/tex]
5. Divide both sides by "72".[tex]\sf \dfrac{72l}{72} = \dfrac{1008}{72} \\ \\\\ \boxed{\sf l=14(in)}.[/tex]
6. Verification.If you want to verify this answer simply take the surface area formula for rectangular prisms and calculate the value for the SA using these values of lengh, width and height:
[tex]\sf SA=2((16)(14)+(20)(14)+(20)(16))=\boxed{\sf 1648}. That's\,correct![/tex]

Someone rolls a die 180 times.
Given: 1. She can expect to see 30 aces in 180 rolls (aces means one spot) and 2. The give or take number for this result is 5 (standard deviation).
Question: What are the chances she gets between 20 and 40 aces? (inclusive of the endpoints 20 and 40)
The chances of rolling between 20 and 40 aces (inclusive) in 180 rolls is approximately 0.9544 or 95.44%.
How to solve for the probabilityWe can first standardize the values of 20 and 40 using the formula:
z = (x - μ) / σ
where x is the value we want to standardize (20 or 40), μ is the expected value (30), and σ is the standard deviation (5).
For x = 20, we get:
z = (20 - 30) / 5 = -2
For x = 40, we get:
z = (40 - 30) / 5 = 2
probability of getting a z-score between -2 and 2.
Using a standard normal distribution table or calculator, we find that the probability of getting a z-score between -2 and 2 is approximately 0.9544.
Therefore, the chances of rolling between 20 and 40 aces (inclusive) in 180 rolls is approximately 0.9544 or 95.44%.

La base de un rectangulo mide el doble de su altura. Cuales son sus dimensiones Si el perimetro mide 144 cm ?
Answer:
Las dimensiones del rectángulo son:
altura = 24 cm
base = 48 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Consideración:
La formula del perímetro de un rectángulo es:
p = 2(altura+base)
Planteamiento:
144 = 2(a+b)
b = 2a
a = longitud de la base del rectángulo
b = longitud de la altura del rectángulo
de la primer ecuación del planteamiento:
144/2 = a+b
72 = a+b
b = 72-a
igualando este último valor con el de la segunda ecuación del planteamiento:
2a = 72 - a
2a + a = 72
3a = 72
a = 72/3
a = 24 cm
b = 2a
b = 2*24
b = 48 cm
Comprobación:
144 = 2(24+48)
144 = 2*72
