Answer:

x = 58.0

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the inverse of cos to solve for x once you set up the equation

[tex]cosx = \frac{9}{17}[/tex]

This is as 9 is the adjacent side and 17 is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

We can then solve for x using the inverse of cos

[tex]x= cos^{-1} (\frac{9}{17} )[/tex]

When plugged into a calculator you get

x= 58.03 degrees

this rounds to 58.0 degrees

1. [tex]P(X<5)[/tex] is the area under the curve to the left of [tex]x=5[/tex], which is a trapezoid with "bases" of length 2 and 5 and "height" 0.2, so

[tex]P(X<5)=\dfrac{5+2}2\cdot0.2=0.7[/tex]

2. Find the area under the curve for each of the specified intervals:

[tex]P(X\le2)=\dfrac{2\cdot0.2}2=0.2[/tex] (triangle with base 2 and height 0.2)

[tex]P(X\ge4)=\dfrac{1\cdot0.4}2=0.2[/tex] (triangle with base 1 and height 0.4)

[tex]P(2\le X\le4)=\dfrac{0.2+0.4}2\cdot2=0.6[/tex] (trapezoid with "bases" 0.2 and 0.4 and "height" 2)

[tex]P(1\le X\le3)=\dfrac{0.1+0.3}2\cdot2=0.4[/tex] (trapezoid with "bases" 0.1 and 0.3 and "height" 2)

The required probabilities are found using the  given graphs of the

probability distributions.

Response:

1) P(X< 5) is D) 0.7

2) The probability equal to 0.2 are;

The probabilities are given by the area under the curve of the graph of

the probability distribution, which are found as follows;

1) The given figure is a trapezium, which gives;

[tex]Area \ of \ a \ trapezium = \mathbf{\dfrac{a + b}{2} \cdot h}[/tex]

Where;

a, and b are the parallel sides of the trapezium

h = The height

Therefore;

[tex]P(X < 5) = \dfrac{5 + 2}{2} \times 0.2 = \mathbf{0.7}[/tex]

2) The probabilities equal to 0.2 are found as follows;

1) At P(X ≤ 2), the area is a triangle, which gives;

[tex]Area \ of \ a \ triangle = \mathbf{\dfrac{1}{2} \times Base \ length \times Height\sqrt{x}}[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 2) = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 0.2 = \mathbf{0.2}[/tex]

2) At P(X ≥ 4), has a triangular area, which gives;

[tex]P(X \geq 4) = \mathbf{\dfrac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 0.4}= 0.2[/tex]

3) P(2 ≤ X ≤4) has a trapezoidal area, which gives;

[tex]P( 2 \leq X \leq 5) = \mathbf{\dfrac{0.2 + 0.4}{2}} \times 0.2 = 0.6[/tex]

P(2 ≤ X ≤4) = 0.6 ≠ 0.2

4) P(1 ≤ X ≤ 3) has a trapezoidal area, which gives;

[tex]P( 1 \leq X \leq 3) = \dfrac{0.1 + 0.3}{2} \times 2 = 0.4[/tex]

P(1 ≤ X ≤ 3)  = 0.4 ≠ 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x^2+y^2=25

x-y^2=-5

In order to solve the equations, from equation 2 we get

-y^2= -5-x

y^2=5+x

Putting the value of y^2 in equation 1

x^2+5+x=25

x^2+5-25+x=0

x^2+x-20=0

x^2+5x-4x-20= 0

x(x+5)-4(x+5)=0

(x+5)(x-4)=0

So

x+5=0  x-4=0

x=-5   x=4

Now for x=-5

x^2+y^2=25

(-5)^2+y^2=25

25+y^2=25

y^2=25-25

y^2=0

so Y=0  

And for x = 4

x^2+y^2=25

(4)^2+y^2=25

16+y^2=25

y^2=25-16

Final answer:

After spending $37 on pizza and $89 on concert tickets, John overdrawn his account by $26. This calculation subtracts the total expenses from his initial amount, resulting in a negative balance.

Explanation:

John initially has $100, and we need to calculate how much money he will have on Monday after his expenses over the weekend. He bought pizza for $37 and concert tickets for $89, totaling $126 in expenses. To find out how much money John has left, we subtract his total expenses from his initial amount:

Initial Amount: $100
Total Expenses (Pizza + Concert Tickets): $37 + $89 = $126

Now, subtract the total expenses from the initial amount:

$100 - $126 = -$26

This means John will have a deficit of $26. Since he spent more than what he initially had, it implies he has overdrawn his account by $26.

Answer:

The solution to this system is (-2, 1, -3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's eliminate variable x first.  Combine the first two equations, obtaining:

3x - 0y + 2z  = -12.

Now subtract the third equation from this result:

 3x - 0y + 2z  = -12

-(3x −   y −   z =  −4)

----------------------------

           y + 3z  = -8

Similarly, combine the second and third original equations to eliminate x again.  To do this, subtract  2(x + y + z = -4) from the first equation:

2x−y+z=−8

-2x - 2y - 2z = 8

-----------------------

    -3y - z = 0

Now we have eliminated x completely, and find from -3y - z = 0 that z = -3y.  Substitute this -3y for z in the equation y + 3z  = -8 found above:

y + 3(-3y)  = -8.  Then y - 9y = -8, and so y must = 1.  From -3y - z = 0, substituting 1 for y, we find that z = -3(1), or z = -3.

Finally, subst. 1 for y and -3 for z in the second equation:

x + 1 - 3 = -4

So, x - 2 = -4, and thus x must be -2.

The solution to this system is (-2, 1, -3).

Answer:

the answer is 18 birds and 5 cats

Step-by-step explanation:

the easiest way i did this was that i used a calculator and kept subtracting 8.5 untill i reached a number that was completely divisable by 5, i subtracted 8.5 five times which got the total down to 90$ and since each bird is 5$ you can just divide which means there was a total of 18 bird and 5 cats on Tuesday

To find out how many birds were at the shelter on Tuesday, we set up and solved a system of linear equations involving the total daily care costs and the total number of animals. By substituting and simplifying, we found the number of birds among the 23 animals.

The question involves solving a system of linear equations to find out how many birds were at the shelter on Tuesday, given the daily care costs for birds and cats, the total cost for Tuesday, and the total number of birds and cats. We use the information that the shelter spends $5.00 per day to care for each bird and $8.50 per day to care for each cat, with a total expenditure of $132.50 for 23 birds and cats together.

Let x be the number of birds and y be the number of cats. Therefore, we have two equations:

From the second equation, we can isolate one variable, say x = 23 - y. Substituting this into the first equation gives us:

5(23 - y) + 8.5y = 132.50

After simplifying, we find the value of y, and then substitute back to find x, which represents the number of birds. This method of solving the system of equations is straightforward and efficient for this problem.

The length AB of the triangle is 31.2 inches.

The side AB of the triangle can be found using sine rule for triangles as follows:

cross multiply

AB sin 43 = 22 sin 75

divide both sides by sin 43

AB = 22 sin 75 / sin 43

AB = 21.2503681784 / 0.68199836006

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle is A = Lw.  We are told that the width is 3 less than twice the length, so we will change the width into some expression in terms of the length.

w = 2L - 3 and

length = L.

Filling in the area formula now, knowing that the area is given as 170:

170 = (2L - 3)(L) so

Get everything on one side of the equals sign and throw it into the quadratic formula to factor it and solve for the values of L.  When we do this we get that L = 10 and L = -8.5

Since the 2 things in math that will NEVER EVER be negative are time and distance/length measures, it is safe to disregard the -8.5.  Therefore,

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\text{274.5 cm; }71.3^{\circ}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If we open the surface of the pole and lay it flat, we will get a rectangle with the red stripe as a diagonal.

l = 260 cm.

The width of the rectangle is enough for two revolutions (i.e., twice the circumference).

w = 2C = 2 × 2πr = 4π × 14/2 = 28π cm = 87.96 cm

Length of stripe

The stripe is the diagonal of the rectangle.

d² = 260² + (28π)² = 67 600 + 87.96² = 67 600 + 7738 = 75 338

d = √(75 338) = 274.5 cm

Angle with horizontal

tanθ = 260/(28π) = 260/87.96 =2.956

θ = arctan2.956

θ = 71.3°

The stripe is [tex]\boxed{ \text{274.5 cm}}[/tex] long and the angle with the horizontal is [tex]\boxed{71.3^{\circ}}[/tex].

Final answer:

The red stripe on the barber pole is approximately 520.8 cm long and makes an angle of about 71.1 degrees with the horizon.

Explanation:

The problem describes a cylinder (barber pole) with a helical stripe wrapping around it. To find the length of the stripe, we need to construct a right-angled triangle by unwrapping the helix. One side of the triangle is the height of the pole (260 cm), and the other side is the circumference of the pole multiplied by the number of revolutions (2).

First, calculate the circumference using the diameter given:

The length of the stripe is then the hypotenuse of the right triangle, which can be found using the Pythagorean theorem:

For the angle with the horizon, θ, we use the tangent function:

The angle with the horizon is approximately 71.1 degrees. So, the length of the stripe is about 520.8 cm, and it makes an angle of roughly 71.1° with the horizon.

Find the missing side of the right triangle using Pythagorean Theorem:

10^2 =8.7^2 +x^2;

x^2=100-75.69=24.31

x= sqrt 24.31~ 4.93

Area of trapezoid is area of triangle+area of a rectangle.

A=(8.7x4.93/2)+(12x4.93)

A=80.6055 ~81 ft^2

Ok so you do height times width

Answer:

Either the height is [tex]x[/tex] and the length is [tex]x-4[/tex] or the other way round.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume is given in terms of x as  [tex]V(x)=x^3-6x^2+8x[/tex].

We factor the GCF to get;

[tex]V(x)=x(x^2-6x+8)[/tex].

We split the middle term of the trinomial in the parenthesis.

[tex]V(x)=x(x^2-4x-2x+8)[/tex].

We now factor the expression within the parenthesis by grouping;

[tex]V(x)=x[x(x-4)-2(x-4)][/tex].

[tex]V(x)=x(x-2)(x-4)[/tex].

Since the width of the box is [tex]x-2[/tex] units, the linear expression for the height and length is [tex]x(x-4)[/tex]

Either the height is [tex]x[/tex] and the length is [tex]x-4[/tex] or the other way round.
