2. A Student Wanted To Find The Height H Of A Statue Of A Pineapplein Nambour, Australia. She Measured

Answers

Answer 1

Using proportions, it is found that the height of the pineapple is of 280 inches = 23 ft 4 in.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, considering that a feet has 12 inches, the measures in inches, and applying the similarity of triangles, the proportions are as follows:

[tex]\frac{h}{64} = \frac{105}{24}[/tex]

Applying cross multiplication:

24h = 64 x 105

h = 64 x 105/24

h = 280

The height of the pineapple is of 280 inches = 23 ft 4 in.

Apply the distributive law [tex]a(b + c) = ab + ac[/tex] :

Collect and combine like terms:

[tex]\implies 9x + 3x+ 18 = 1[/tex]

[tex]\implies 12x + 18 = 1[/tex]

Subtract 18 from both sides:

[tex]\implies 12x + 18 - 18 = 1 - 18[/tex]

[tex]\implies 12x = -17[/tex]

Divide both sides by 12:

An airline is planning its staffing needs for the next year. If a new route is​ approved, it will hire 837 new employees. If a new route is not​ granted, it will hire only 199 new employees. If the probability that a new route will be granted is 0.37, what is the expected number of new employees to be hired by the​ airline?

Answers

Considering a discrete distribution, it is found that the expected number of new employees to be hired by the​ airline is of 446.16.

What is the mean of a discrete distribution?

The expected value of a discrete distribution is given by the sum of each outcome multiplied by it's respective probability.

In this problem, considering the situation described in the text, the distribution is given by:

P(X = 837) = 0.37.P(X = 199) = 0.63.

Hence, the expected value is given by:

E(X) = 0.37(867) + 0.63(199) = 446.16.

What are trigonometric identities?

There are three commonly used trigonometric identities.

Sin x = 1/ cosec x

Cos x = 1/ sec x

Tan x = 1/ cot x or sin x / cos x

Cot x = cos x / sin x

We have,

Tan (u) + Cot (u)

We know that,

Tan x = sin x / cos x

Cot x = cos x / sin x

Now,

Tan (u) + Cot (u)

= {Sin (u) / Cos (u) + Cos (u)}/ Sin (u)

Simplify by forming into a fraction.

= (Sin²u + Cos²u) / Sin(u)Cos(u)

[ sin² + cos² = 1 ]

So,

(Sin²u + Cos²u) = 1

= 1 / Sin(u)Cos(u)

= 1/Sin(u) x 1/Cos(u)

= Cosec(u) x Sec(u)

Thus,

What's the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 7 feet Use 3.14 for pi.

Answers

Answer:

21.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for Circumference of a Circle:

C=2πr

1. We find r, which is basically the diameter divided by 2, aka half of the diameter:

d/2 = r

Fill in:

7/2 = r

r = 3.5

2. We fill in the Formula:

C = 2πr

C = 2(3.14)(3.5)

3. Multiply it all

3.14 x 3.5 = 10.99

10.99 x 2 = 21.98

Hence, the circumference of the circle is 21.98.

Find the equation of a line that contains the points (2,1) and (8,7). Write the equation in slope-intercept form.

Answers

Answer:

y = x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope. Subtract the y's and put that on top of a fraction. Then subtract x's and put that on the bottom. Simplify if possible.

7-1 is 6 goes on top.

8-2 is 6 goes below.

6/6 is 1 when simplified.

Slope is 1.

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b.

m is slope, so fill that in.

y = (1)x + b

Now we need to find b.

Use either one of the given points; they will give you the same answer no matter which one you choose. Let's use (2,1) because smaller numbers.

y is 1 and x is 2.

y= (1)x + b

1 = (1)2 + b

1 = 2 + b

-1 = b

Now fill in both m and b. Leave x and y as letters (variables)

y = (1)x + -1

Final answer:

y = x - 1

All the correct steps to find the equation of the parabola with focus (-1, -8) and directrix y = - 12 are,

1. 2p + (- 8) = - 12                       Find p

2. Since the focus is at - 1,        Find the x - coordinates for the vertex.

then, vertex is at - 1

3. y = - 8 - 2                              Find the x - coordinates for the vertex.

4. (- 1, - 10)                                Vertex coordinates

5. (x + 1)² = 4(-2) (y+10)              Write the formula for the parabola.

6. (x + 1)² = -8 (y+10)                  Simplify the formula.

Given that,

In a parabola,

Focus = (-1 , - 8)

And, Directrix =; y = - 12

The standard equation of a parabola is,

[tex]y = - p (x - h)^2 + k[/tex]

Where, (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

Now, the Statement with reason to find the equation of a parabola is,

 Statement                                       Reason

1. 2p + (- 8) = - 12                       Find p

p = - 2

2. Since the focus is at - 1,        Find the x - coordinates for the vertex.

then, vertex is at - 1

3. y = - 8 - 2                              Find the x - coordinates for the vertex.

y = - 10

4. (- 1, - 10)                                Vertex coordinates

5. (x + 1)² = 4(-2) (y+10)              Write the formula for the parabola.

6. (x + 1)² = -8 (y+10)                  Simplify the formula.
