what are the answers to these equations? # 1-16

if one side of triangle is approximately 10 feet, the height of the attic is approximately 8.66 feet.

To find the height h of an equilateral triangle, we need to know the length of one of its sides. However, this information is not given in the question.

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find an approximate value of h. Let's assume that the length of one side of the equilateral triangle is 10 feet (this is just an arbitrary value for illustration purposes).

Then, the height h can be found using the formula:

h = √(10² - (10/2)²)

h = √(100 - 25)

h = √75

h ≈ 8.66 feet

So, if one side of the equilateral triangle is approximately 10 feet, the height of the attic is approximately 8.66 feet. However, if the length of the side is different, the height will also be different.

A) The acute angles equivalent to 70 degrees, 110 degrees, and 250 degrees are all 20 degrees.

B) The characteristics of a reference angle is acute and positive.

C) Because reference angle only depends on quadrant.

A. Three different angles which could have a reference angle of 20 degrees are 70 degrees, 110 degrees, and 250 degrees. To arrive at this answer, we need to subtract 20 degrees from 90 degrees, which gives us 70 degrees. To find the other two angles, we add 180 degrees to 70 degrees, which gives us 250 degrees, and we subtract 180 degrees from 110 degrees, which gives us 290 degrees. However, since we're looking for angles with a reference angle of 20 degrees, we have to find the acute angle between 0 and 90 degrees that is equivalent to these angles. So, we subtract 90 degrees from 250 degrees, which gives us 160 degrees, and we subtract 90 degrees from 290 degrees, which gives us 200 degrees. The acute angles equivalent to 70 degrees, 110 degrees, and 250 degrees are all 20 degrees.

B. The characteristics of a reference angle are that it is always an acute angle, it is the smallest angle between the terminal side of the given angle and the x-axis, and it is always positive.

C. Angles can have different measurements but still have the exact same reference angle because the reference angle only depends on the quadrant in which the terminal side of the angle lies. For example, an angle of 50 degrees and an angle of 310 degrees are both in the fourth quadrant and therefore have the same reference angle of 40 degrees. Similarly, an angle of 100 degrees and an angle of 260 degrees are both in the third quadrant and therefore have the same reference angle of 10 degrees.

The center is located at (2, −4), and the radius is 4.

To find the center and radius of this equation, we need to complete the square for both the x and y terms.

Starting with the x terms:

x^2 - 4x

To complete the square, we need to add and subtract (4/2)^2 = 4:

x^2 - 4x + 4 - 4

Now we can simplify:

(x - 2)^2 - 4

And for the y terms:

y^2 + 8y

We need to add and subtract (8/2)^2 = 16:

y^2 + 8y + 16 - 16

Simplifying:

(y + 4)^2 - 16

Now we can rewrite the original equation:

(x - 2)^2 - 4 + (y + 4)^2 - 16 = -4

Combining like terms:

(x - 2)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = 4

This is in the form of a circle:

(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

Where the center is (h, k) and the radius is r.

The expression that represents the area of the parking lot is (5 - 7) * (3 + 4).

The length of the parking lot can be represented as (5 - 7), which simplifies to -2. The width of the parking lot can be represented as (3 + 4), which simplifies to 7. To find the area of a rectangle, we multiply the length by the width.

Therefore, the expression that represents the area of the parking lot is (-2) * 7. Multiplying -2 by 7 gives us -14. So, the area of the parking lot is -14 square units.

However, it is important to note that negative areas do not have practical meaning in this context, as areas are typically positive values. Therefore, the area of the parking lot would be considered 14 square units.

The remaining distance after 33 minutes of driving = 58.8 miles.

Here, the slope of a linear function the remaining distance to drive (in miles) is -0.85

For this situation, we can write a linear equation as,

remaining distance = (slope)(drive time) + (intercept)

remaining distance = -0.85(drive time) + (intercept)      

y =  -0.85x + c        ..........(1)

where y represents the remaining distance

x is the drive time

and c is the y-intercept

Here, Laura has 52 miles remaining after 41 minutes of driving.

i.e., x = 41 and y = 52

Substitute these values in equation (1)

52 =  -0.85(41) + c    

c = 52 + 34.85

c = 86.85

So, equation (1) becomes,

y =  -0.85x + 86.85

Now, we need to find the remaining distance after 33 minutes of driving.

i.e., the value of y for x = 33

y =  -0.85(33) + 86.85

y =  -28.05 + 86.85        

y = 58.8

A z-score of 0 means that the sample proportion is equal to the population proportion. Therefore, after using sampling distribution we can conclude that we agree with Aiden's expectation that the percentage for this sample will be 45%.

Based on the given information, we can assume that the population proportion of students who brought a can of food to contribute to the canned food drive is 0.45. Aiden picks a representative sample of 25 students, and he expects the percentage for this sample will be 45%.

We can use the sampling distribution formula to calculate the expected sample proportion:

SE = sqrt[p(1-p) / n]

where p is the population proportion, n is the sample size, and SE is the standard error.

Plugging in the values, we get:

SE = sqrt[0.45(1-0.45) / 25] = 0.0984

Next, we can use the normal distribution to find the z-score corresponding to a sample proportion of 0.45:

z = (0.45 - 0.45) / 0.0984 = 0

A z-score of 0 means that the sample proportion is equal to the population proportion. Therefore, we can conclude that we agree with Aiden's expectation that the percentage for this sample will be 45%.

To solve this problem, we need to find the times when two or more buses arrive at X at the same time between 5:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. We can start by finding the arrival times of each bus at X.

Bus A arrives at X every 32 minutes (12 minutes to S + 20 minutes to X).

Bus B arrives at X every 48 minutes (20 minutes to T + 28 minutes to X).

Bus C arrives at X every 56 minutes (28 minutes to U + 28 minutes to X).

We can create a timeline for each bus showing its arrival times at X between 1:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m.:

Bus A: X _ _ X _ _ X _ _ X _ _ X _ _ X _ _ X

Bus B: _ _ _ _ _ X _ _ _ _ _ X _ _ _ _ _ X

Bus C: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ X _ _ _ _ _ _ _ X _ _ _

The underscores represent the times when the bus is not at X.

Now we can look at the timeline between 5:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. (from the 8th to the 18th arrival of Bus A at X) and count the times when two or more buses arrive at X at the same time:

5:44 p.m. - Bus A and Bus B arrive at X at the same time.

6:24 p.m. - Bus A and Bus C arrive at X at the same time.

6:56 p.m. - Bus B and Bus C arrive at X at the same time.

7:36 p.m. - Bus A and Bus B arrive at X at the same time.

8:16 p.m. - Bus A and Bus C arrive at X at the same time.

8:48 p.m. - Bus B and Bus C arrive at X at the same time.

9:28 p.m. - Bus A and Bus B arrive at X at the same time.

10:08 p.m. - Bus A and Bus C arrive at X at the same time.

To find the critical points of f(x) = x - 18x² + 96x, we need to find the values of x where f'(x) = 0.

f'(x) = 1 - 36x + 96

Setting f'(x) = 0, we get:

-36x + 97 = 0

x = 97/36

So the critical point is (97/36, f(97/36)).

To use the Second Derivative Test, we need to find f''(x):

f''(x) = -36

At the critical point x = 97/36, f''(97/36) = -36 < 0.

Since f''(97/36) is negative, the Second Derivative Test tells us that the critical point corresponds to a local maximum.

Therefore, the critical point (97/36, f(97/36)) is a local maximum.
To find the critical points of the function f(x) = x - 18x² + 96x, we first need to find its first derivative, f'(x), and then set it to zero to find the critical points.

1. Find the first derivative, f'(x):
f'(x) = d/dx (x - 18x² + 96x) = 1 - 36x + 96

2. Set f'(x) to zero and solve for x:
0 = 1 - 36x + 96
36x = 95
x = 95/36

Now, let's use the Second Derivative Test to determine if this critical point corresponds to a local minimum or maximum.

3. Find the second derivative, f''(x):
f''(x) = d/dx (1 - 36x + 96) = -36

4. Evaluate f''(x) at the critical point x = 95/36:
f''(95/36) = -36

Since f''(95/36) is negative, the Second Derivative Test tells us that the critical point x = 95/36 corresponds to a local maximum.

In the given scenario, we are provided with information about a triangular roof. It is mentioned that the base of the roof is 32 feet long, and we need to determine the area of the triangular roof.

To calculate the area of a triangle, we need to know the length of the base and the height. In this case, we are given that the height is half the length of the base, which can be expressed as h = (1/2) * b.

Since we are given that the base length, b, is 32 feet, we can substitute this value into the height equation to find the height of the triangle: h = (1/2) * 32 feet = 16 feet.

Now that we have the base length (b = 32 feet) and the height (h = 16 feet), we can use the formula for the area of a triangle: A = (1/2) * b * h.

Substituting the values, we have A = (1/2) * 32 feet * 16 feet = 256 square feet.

Therefore, the area of the triangular roof is determined to be 256 square feet. This represents the amount of surface area covered by the triangular section of the roof.

Let the base of the triangular roof be denoted by b, and its height be denoted by h. We are given that

h = (1/2) * b, and that

b = 32 feet.

To optimize the company's inventory costs, we need to determine the optimal order quantities for both tablets and laptops.

Let's start by finding the optimal order quantity for tablets:

Total cost (TC) = ordering cost + holding cost

Ordering cost = (demand rate/order quantity) x ordering cost per shipment

Holding cost = (order quantity/2) x unit cost x holding cost rate

We can set these two costs equal to each other and solve for the optimal order quantity (Q):

(demand rate/Q) x ordering cost per shipment = (Q/2) x unit cost x holding cost rate

Solving for Q, we get:

Q = sqrt((2 x demand rate x ordering cost per shipment)/(unit cost x holding cost rate))

Plugging in the values given in the problem, we get:

Q = sqrt((2 x 10000 x 10000)/(100 x 0.25)) = 2000

Therefore, the optimal order quantity for tablets is 2000 units per shipment.

Next, let's find the optimal order quantity for laptops:

Following the same procedure as for tablets, we get:

Q = sqrt((2 x 4000 x 10000)/(400 x 0.25)) = 2000

Therefore, the optimal order quantity for laptops is also 2000 units per shipment.

To find the values of Δx, Δy, and Δy/Δx for the function y = f(x) = 3x² between x1 = 1 and x2 = 5.

Δx represents the change in x between x1 and x2,

It can be calculated as Δx = x2 - x1 = 5 - 1 = 4.

Δy represents the change in y (or the output of the function f(x)) between x1 and x2, and can be calculated as Δy = f(x2) - f(x1).

We can find the value of f(x) by substituting x = 1 and x = 5 into the equation f(x) = 3x²:

f(1) = 3(1)² = 3

f(5) = 3(5)² = 75

Therefore, Δy = f(x2) - f(x1) = 75 - 3 = 72.

Δy/Δx represents the average rate of change of y with respect to x between x1 and x2,

It can be calculated as Δy/Δx' = [f(x2) - f(x1)] / [x2 - x1].

We can substitute the values of Δy and Δx into this equation to get:

Δy/Δx' = [f(x2) - f(x1)] / [x2 - x1] = [75 - 3] / (5 - 1) = 72 / 4 = 18.

Here, we have 10 values in the data set (including the unknown value x), so we divide the sum of all the values by 10 to find the mean.

To solve for x, we can start by simplifying the right-hand side of the equation:

110 = 75.5 + x

Next, we can isolate x by subtracting 75.5 from both sides:

x = 34.5

Therefore, the value of x that makes the mean of the data set equal to 11 is x = 34.5.

In other words, if we replace the unknown value x with 34.5, the resulting data set will have a mean of 11. This means that the sum of all the values in the data set will be 110, since:

12 + 9 + 12.5 + 13 + 34.5 + 10 + 11 + 11 + 7 + 9 = 110

And when we divide this sum by 10, we get:

110 : 10 = 11

Therefore, From the given data 11 is the mean of the data set.

we need to determine the minimum mean length between consecutive flaws that would result in a 1 in 100 chance that a randomly selected 3-foot segment of wire provided by the new supplier will be flawless.
First, we need to convert the length of the wire provided by the new supplier (50 inches) into feet, which is 4.17 feet (50 inches divided by 12).

Next, we can use the Poisson distribution formula to calculate the probability of getting at least one flaw in a 3-foot segment of wire:
P(X >= 1) = 1 - e^(-λ)

Where X is the number of flaws in a 3-foot segment, and λ is the mean number of flaws per 3-foot segment.
Since the supplier claims that the average length between flaws is 4.17 feet, we can calculate λ as:
λ = 1/4.17 = 0.239

Now, we can plug in the values and solve for the probability:
P(X >= 1) = 1 - e^(-0.239) = 0.208
This means that there is a 20.8% chance of getting at least one flaw in a 3-foot segment of wire provided by the new supplier.

To find the minimum mean length between consecutive flaws that would result in a 1 in 100 (or 0.01) chance of getting a flawless 3-foot segment, we can rearrange the Poisson formula:
P(X = 0) = e^(-λ)
0.01 = e^(-λ)

ln(0.01) = -λ
λ = 4.605

This means that the mean length between consecutive flaws would need to be at least 4.605 feet (55.26 inches) in order to have a 1 in 100 chance of getting a flawless 3-foot segment from the new supplier.

In conclusion, if the new supplier's claim is valid and the mean length between consecutive flaws is at least 55.26 inches, then Gebhardt Electronics can expect to get a flawless 3-foot segment of wire with a 1 in 100 probability.

The opposite angles in an inscribed quadrilateral are supplementary, meaning their sum is 180 degrees.

An inscribed quadrilateral is a quadrilateral whose vertices all lie on a circle. Let's label the vertices of the quadrilateral as A, B, C, and D, in clockwise order.

Draw the circle that contains all four vertices, and label the center of the circle as O.

Now, draw chords AC and BD that cross at point P. Each chord divides the quadrilateral into two triangles. Notice that angle AOC and angle BOD are both central angles that subtend the same arc, CD.

Therefore, these angles have the same measure, and we can write:

angle AOC = angle BOD = x

Similarly, we can show that angle AOB = angle COD = y.

Now, consider the two triangles APC and BPD. These triangles share the side P D and have the same angle APD, which is equal to angle AOC + angle BOD, or 2x.

Therefore, by the angle-sum property of triangles, the other angles in each triangle must also be equal. We can write:

angle APC = angle BPD = (180 - 2x)/2 = 90 - x

Similarly, consider the two triangles APB and CPD. These triangles share the side P C and have the same angle APC, which we just found to be 90 - x.

Therefore, by the angle-sum property of triangles, the other angles in each triangle must also be equal. We can write:

angle APB = angle CPD = (180 - (90 - x))/2 = 90 + x/2

Finally, notice that angle APB + angle CPD = (90 + x/2) + (90 - x/2) = 180, so the opposite angles in the quadrilateral are indeed supplementary.

Therefore, the main answer is: The opposite angles in an inscribed quadrilateral are supplementary, meaning their sum is 180 degrees.

Area of sector NPQ ≈ 127.23 square units

To find the area of the sector NPQ, we first need to find the measure of the central angle that defines the sector. We know that the measure of the angle NPQ is 104 degrees, but we need to find the measure of the central angle that includes this arc.

Since NP is a radius of the circle, we know that triangle NQP is an isosceles triangle, with angles NQP and PNQ each measuring (180 - 104)/2 = 38 degrees. Therefore, the measure of the central angle that includes arc NPQ is 2 * 38 + 104 = 180 degrees.

The area of the sector NPQ is then a fraction of the total area of the circle, where the fraction is equal to the ratio of the central angle to the total angle around the circle. Since the total angle around a circle is 360 degrees, the fraction of the circle's area covered by the sector is:

180 degrees / 360 degrees = 1/2

Therefore, the area of the sector NPQ is equal to half the area of the circle with radius 9 units:

Area of sector NPQ = (1/2) * π * 9^2 = 40.5π

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the area of the sector NPQ is approximately:

Area of sector NPQ ≈ 127.23 square units

2 1/7 x 4.3 (repeating the three) as a mixed number in simplest form is 9 2/7.

First, we can simplify the mixed number 4.3 (repeating the three) as follows:

Let x = 4.3 (repeating the three)

Then 10x = 43.33333...

Subtracting x from 10x, we get:

10x - x = 43.33333... - 4.33333...

9x = 39

x = 4.33333... / 9

x = 4 1/3

Now, we can multiply 2 1/7 by 4 1/3:

2 1/7 x 4 1/3 = (15/7) x (13/3)

= (15 x 13) / (7 x 3)

= 195 / 21

To write this as a mixed number in simplest form, we can divide 195 by 21 and write the quotient as a mixed number:

195 ÷ 21 = 9 with a remainder of 6

So, 195 / 21 = 9 6/21, which can be simplified to 9 2/7.

Therefore, 2 1/7 x 4.3 (repeating the three) as a mixed number in simplest form is 9 2/7.
