Answer 2

The length of the line segment BC is 15 units

Pythagoras theorem

In order to determine the length of BC, we will use the Pythagoras theorem as shown;

AB² = AC² + BC²

Substitute the given parameters

17² = 8² + BC²

BC² = 289 - 64

BC² = 225

BC=. 15 units

Hence the length of the line segment BC is 15 units

Answer choice A is correct.

What is the interquartile range?

An interquartile range is a measure of the difference between the upper and lower quartiles of a dataset.

W can find the values of the upper and lower quartile and median from a box plot.

The middle line is the median and the first line is the lower quartile and the last line is the upper quartile.

The formula used is Upper quartile - Lower quartile.

We have,

To find the IQR, we first need to find the first and third quartiles.

First, we need to order the data from smallest to largest:

10.5, 11, 11.5, 14.5, 14.5, 17, 17, 18, 19

Next, we find the median (middle value) of the data set.

Since we have an odd number of data points, the median is the middle number, which is 14.5.

To find the first quartile (Q1), we need to find the median of the lower half of the data set.

That is, we need to find the median of 10.5, 11, 11.5, and 14.5.

The median of this subset is (11 + 11.5) / 2 = 11.25.

To find the third quartile (Q3), we need to find the median of the upper half of the data set.

That is, we need to find the median of 17, 17, 18, and 19.

The median of this subset is (17 + 18) / 2 = 17.5.

Now we have the first quartile (Q1) = 11.25 and the third quartile (Q3) = 17.5. The IQR is the difference between Q3 and Q1:

IQR = Q3 - Q1

= 17.5 - 11.25

= 6.25

Therefore,

The IQR for these data is 6.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes a boat 2 hours to go 16 miles downstream with the current and 4 hours to return against the current. Find the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current.

Answers

let's recall that d = rt, or namely distance = rate * time.

b = speed of the boat

c = speed of the current

now, we know that going downstream the boat went 16 miles total, that's going only one way, so the distance the boat travels downstream as well as upstream to return is 16 miles flat.

when going downstream, the boat is not really going at "b" speed, is really going at "b + c" speed, because the current is adding its speed to it, so is really going faster than "b".

when going upstream, the boat is not really going at "b" speed" either, is really going slower at "b - c" speed, because the current is against it and thus subtracting speed from "b".

let's take a look at those in a table

[tex]\begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ Downstream&16&b+c&2\\ Upstream&16&b-c&4 \end{array}\qquad \qquad \begin{cases} 16=(b+c)(2)\\\\ 16=(b-c)(4) \end{cases} \\\\\\ \stackrel{16}{(b+c)(2)}~~ = ~~\stackrel{16}{(b-c)(4)}\implies 2b+2c~~ = ~~4b-4c\implies 2c=2b-4c[/tex]

[tex]6c=2b\implies \cfrac{6c}{2}=b\implies \boxed{3c=b} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{substituting on the 1st equation}}{16~~ = ~~(\stackrel{b}{3c}+c)(2)}\implies 16=4c(2)\implies 16=8c \\\\\\ \cfrac{16}{8}=c\implies \blacktriangleright \stackrel{mph}{2}=c \blacktriangleleft~\hspace{10em}3(2)=b\implies \blacktriangleright \stackrel{mph}{6}=b \blacktriangleleft[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Both sin(41) and cos(x) can be represented by the ratio b/c

What is complementary angles?

If the sum of two angles is equal to 90 degrees, then such angles are called complementary angles. The total of the two angles' measurements determines their complement and supplement. The pair of angles is said to be complimentary if the product of the two angles equals the measurement of a right angle. Example:

   40° is the complement of 50°.

   50° is the complement of 40°.

sin (41) = b/c

cos (x) = b/c

∴both sin(41) and cos(x) can be represented by the ratio b/c

x + 41 = 90 (∵ complementary angles)

x = 90-41 = 49

∵ sin 41 = cos x

∴ sin 41 = cos (90-41)

Solve for x. -14 - x = 14

Answers

Answer:

x= -28

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First you have to add 14 to both sides to get the x by itself. That's always the first thing you have to do. Get x by itself.

2. After that, you should have -x= 28. You can't leave it like that because it is still not simplified. It's basically saying 28 is the opposite of x. What's the opposite of positive? Negative.

3. Therefore, your final answer should be -28

Answer:

x = -28

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey! First, lets establish our equation :)

-14 -x = 14

Now, we are going to get our x alone on a single side, to do this, we are going to add 14 to both sides to be able to cut out -14 on the left side!

-14 -x = 14

+14      +14

     -x = 28

The last thing we have to do is divide both sides by -1 to get x by itself without it being negative!

-x = 28

÷-1  ÷-1

x = -28

So, x, is equal to -28 (negative 28!) :)

Compatible numbers : numbers that are easy to add, subtract, multiply, or divide mentally.  They are close in value to the actual numbers, although they do not necessary need to be rounded numbers.

-138 is close to -137.56

-6 is close to -6.12

Divide the top and bottom by -2:

What is tax?

A tax is some specific financial amount or some other charged taxpayer by the government in order to fund government spending.

Given is that you have to buy a new computer for $800.00 or a refurbished computer with the same equipment for $640.00. If you are paid $10.00/hour and your deductions are -

FICA (7.65%),

Federal tax withholding (12%)

State tax withholding (8%).

Total money earned after all the deductions -

A{n} = 10 - {7.65% of 10 + 12% of 10 + 8% of 10}

A{n} = 10 - {7.65/100 x 10 + 12/100 x 10 + 8/100 x 10}

A{n} = 10 - {7.65/10 + 12/10 + 8/10}

A{n} = 10 - 2.765

An = 7.235

Cost of new computer = $800.

For 1 hour. you earned $7.235.

Then, you will earn $1 in (1/7.235) hours

So, you will earn $800 in (1/7.235 x 800) = 110.5

Therefore, you will have to work 110.5 hours to buy the new computer.
