Show all your work.Answer
Answers
We know that two triangles are similar if two pairs of corresponding angles are equal.
In this case, we have:
• Angles EDC and ABC are right angles. Then, these angles are equal.
,• Angles DCE and ACB are ,vertical angles,. In other words, they are opposite angles made by two intersecting lines. Vertical angles are ,congruent,, then these angles are equal.
AnswerSince the above condition is fulfilled, triangles ABC and EDC are similar.
Part b)When two triangles are similar, their corresponding sides are in the same ratio.
[tex]\frac{a}{e}=\frac{b}{d}=\frac{c}{c^{\prime}}[/tex]Then, we can write and solve the following equation:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{300ft}{80ft}=\frac{c}{50ft} \\ 3.75=\frac{c}{50ft} \\ \text{ Multiply by 50ft from both sides} \\ 3.75*50ft=\frac{c}{50ft}*50ft \\ 187.5ft=c \end{gathered}[/tex]AnswerThe width of the river is 187.5 feet.

Given:
the population size P(1) after t hours is given by the following exponential function:
[tex]P(1)=2000(1.09)[/tex]Find the initial population size?
The initial size = 2000
Does the function represent growth or decay?
Growth, Because the initial value multiplied by a factor > 1
By what percent does the population size change each hour?
The factor of change = 1.09 - 1 = 0.09
So, the bacteria is increasing by a factor of 9% each hour

Mr. Ellis has started a vegetable garden. He bought 15 bags of soil and 3 bags offertilizer for $282.72. He realized he didn't have enough supplies, so he boughtanother 5 bags of soil and 2 bags of fertilizer for $107.23. What was the cost of eachbag of soil and fertilizer? Let the cost of each bag of soil = x and the cost of eachbag of fertilizer = y. A. Each bag of soil was $12.99, and each bag of fertilizer was $16.25.B. Each bag of fertilizer was $9.75, and each bag of soil was $77.99.C. Each bag of soil was $9.75, and each bag of fertilizer was $77.99.D. Each bag of fertilizer was $12.99, and each bag of soil was $16.25.
Answers
The variables are:
x: cost of each bag of soil
y: cost of each bag of fertilizer
He bought 15 bags of soil and 3 bags of fertilizer for $282.72, that is,
15x + 3y = 282.72 (eq. 1)
He bought another 5 bags of soil and 2 bags of fertilizer for $107.23, that is,
5x + 2y = 107.23 (eq. 2)
Multiplying equation 2 by 3, we get:
3(5x + 2y) = 3(107.23)
3(5x) + 3(2y) = 3(107.23)
15x + 6y = 321.69 (eq. 3)
Subtracting equation 3 to equation 1, we get:
15x + 3y = 282.72
-
15x + 6y = 321.69
-------------------------------
-3y = -38.97
y = -38.97/-3
y = 12.99
Replacing this result into the first equation,
15x + 3(12.99) = 282.72
15x + 38.97 = 282.72
15x = 282.72 - 38.97
15x = 243.75
x = 243.75/15
x = 16.25
D. Each bag of fertilizer was $12.99, and each bag of soil was $16.25.

The graph of y=(x + 2)^2 – 1 is reflected across the x axis and then translated up 3 units and right 4 units. What is the equation for the transformed graph?
Answers
ANSWER
[tex]y=-(x-2)^2\text{ + 4}[/tex]EXPLANATION
We have that the graph of y is:
[tex]y=(x+2)^2\text{ - 1}[/tex]It is first reflected about the x axis.
A reflection about the x axis is represented as:
y = -f(x)
which means that we find the negative of the function:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow y=-\lbrack(x+2)^2\text{ - 1\rbrack} \\ y=-(x+2)^2\text{ + 1} \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, it is translated 3 units up (vertical shift) and 4 units right (horizontal shift).
A translation is represented as:
y = f(x - a) + b
where a = horizontal shift; b = vertical shift
So, we have to find:
y = f(x - 4) + 3
That is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y\text{ = }-\lbrack(x-4)+2\rbrack^2\text{ + 1 + 3} \\ y=-(x-4+2)^2\text{ + 4} \\ y=-(x-2)^2\text{ + 4} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, that is the equation of the transformed graph.
what is an equation of the line that passes through the point -6 and -7 and is perpendicular to the line 6x+5y=30I got y=5/6-2 but apparently its wrong
Answers
First we can find the slope. The standard form of the equation of a line is:
[tex]y=ax+b[/tex]Where a is the slope and b is the intercept.
When 2 lines are perpendicular, the slopes are reciprocal and opposite to each other. If we write the given equation of the perpendicular line in the standard form we have:
[tex]6x+5y=30\rightarrow y=-\frac{6}{5}x+\frac{30}{5}\rightarrow y=-\frac{6}{5}x+6[/tex]So you got the slope right, it's 5/6.
Now, with the given point we find the intercept. The point is x = -6 and y = -7, so we replace these values into the expression we have until now:
[tex]y=\frac{5}{6}x+b[/tex][tex]-7=\frac{5}{6}(-6)+b[/tex]And solve for b
[tex]-7=-5+b\rightarrow b=-7+5=-2[/tex]So the equation of the line is:

A particle is moving along the x-axis and the position of the particle at the time t is given by x (t) whose graph is shown above. Which of the following is the best estimate for the speed of the particle as time t=4?
Answers
Given:
We are given the x(t) vs time curve.
To find:
Speed of particle at t = 4
Step by step solution:
We know that the slope of x-t curve represents the speed of the particle.
To calculate the speed of the particle at t = 4, We will calculate the slope of the curve at t = 4
[tex]\begin{gathered} Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ \\ Slope=\frac{40-10}{6-0} \\ \\ Slope=\frac{30}{6} \\ \\ Slope\text{ = 6} \end{gathered}[/tex]From here we can say that the slope of the curve between x = 0 and x = 6 is equal to 5.
So the value of speed is also 5 units, Which is equal to option A.

Answers
it is given that,
total customer surveyed is 300 customers
also, it is given that,
135 customers like fishing best, 75 customers like camping best, and 90 customers like hiking best.
the total 300 customers representing the whole circle and circle has a complete angle of 360 degrees
so, 300 customers = 360 degrees,
1 customer = 360/300
= 6/5 degrees,
so, for fishing
135 customer = 135 x 6/5 degrees
= 27 x 6
= 162 degrees,

Answers
Since it is a cube, all its three dimensions must be equal.
Also the term 'unit cube' is used which suggests that the volume of the cube should be 1 units.
Consider that the 2nd and 5th options are incorrect as the dimensions are note equal.
Consider the third dimension, note that before analyzing the numeric part we should make sure that the units are same for all three dimensions.
Here, the units are different, and we know that,
[tex]1\text{ ft }\ne1\text{ in }\ne1\text{ cm}[/tex]So the third option is also incorrect.
Consider that the options 1st and 4th consist all three dimensions same. Also their product yields 1 in the same cubic units.
So they both represent a unit cube.
Therefore, options 1st and 4th are the correct choices.

We have to find the 80% confidence interval for a population proportion.
The sample size is n = 362 and the number of successes is X = 54.
Then, the sample proportion is p = 0.149171.
[tex]p=\frac{X}{n}=\frac{54}{362}\approx0.149171[/tex]The standard error of the proportion is:

Explain how you know.After how many weeks will Elena and Andre have the same amount of money in their savings account? How do you know?
Answers
We can model each savings account balance in function of time as a linear function.
Andre starts with $100 and he adds $5 per week. If t is the number of weeks, we can write this as:
[tex]A(t)=100+5\cdot t[/tex]In the same way, as Elena starts with $10 and saves $20 each week, we can write her balance as:
[tex]E(t)=10+20\cdot t[/tex]We can evaluate their savings after 4 weeks (t=4) as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A(4)=100+5\cdot4=100+20=120 \\ E(4)=10+20\cdot4=10+80=90 \end{gathered}[/tex]After 4 weeks, Andre will have $120 and Elena will have $90.
We can calculate at which week their savings will be the same by writing A(t)=E(t) and calculating for t:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A(t)=E(t) \\ 100+5t=10+20t \\ 5t-20t=10-100 \\ -15t=-90 \\ t=\frac{-90}{-15} \\ t=6 \end{gathered}[/tex]In 6 weeks, their savings will be the same. We know it beca
