BD Is The Angle Bisector Of

Answers

Answer 1

Note: Let us consider, we need to find the [tex]m\angle ABC[/tex] and [tex]m\angle DBC[/tex].

Given:

In the given figure, BD is the angle bisector of ABC.

To find:

The [tex]m\angle ABC[/tex] and [tex]m\angle DBC[/tex].

Solution:

BD is the angle bisector of ABC. So,

[tex]m\angle ABD=m\angle DBC[/tex]

[tex]3x=x+20[/tex]

[tex]3x-x=20[/tex]

[tex]2x=20[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2.

[tex]x=\dfrac{20}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=10[/tex]

Now,

[tex]m\angle DBC=(x+20)^\circ[/tex]

[tex]m\angle DBC=(10+20)^\circ[/tex]

[tex]m\angle DBC=30^\circ[/tex]

And,

[tex]m\angle ABC=(3x)^\circ+(x+20)^\circ[/tex]

[tex]m\angle ABC=(4x+20)^\circ[/tex]

[tex]m\angle ABC=(4(10)+20)^\circ[/tex]

[tex]m\angle ABC=(40+20)^\circ[/tex]

[tex]m\angle ABC=60^\circ[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]m\angle DBC=30^\circ,m\angle ABD=30^\circ[/tex] and [tex]m\angle ABC=60^\circ[/tex].

15 points please explain it to me add the answer and the work since I’m so confused on when to subtract missing lengths where and when

Answers

You didn't specify what the question was. However, I am going to assume you are looking for the missing side of the shape.

Let's call the left side "Side A" and the right side "Side B". One is longer than the other side. In this case, Side B is longer than Side A. To find the missing length, you will need to subtract Side A from Side B

Side B - Side A = Missing side

16 - 13 = 3

Therefore, the length of the missing side is 3.

(2x–y)²–(y+2)²-----------

Answers

Answer:

4x² -4xy -4y -4

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\boxed{ {a}^{2} - {b}^{2} = (a + b)(a - b)}[/tex]

In this case, a= 2x -y and b= y +2.

(2x -y)² -(y +2)²

= (2x -y +y +2)[2x -y -(y +2)]

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

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

= 2x(2x) +2x(-2y) +2x(-2) +2(2x) +2(-2y) +2(-2) (expand)

= 4x² -4xy -4x +4x -4y -4

= 4x² -4xy -4y -4

Alternatively, start by expanding the brackets.

[tex]\boxed{(a - b)^{2} = {a}^{2} - 2ab \: + {b}^{2} }[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{(a + b)^{2} = {a}^{2} + 2ab \: + {b}^{2} }[/tex]

(2x -y)² -(y +2)²

= 4x² -4xy +y² -(y² +4y +4)

= 4x² -4xy +y² -y² -4y -4 (expand)

= 4x² -4xy -4y -4 (simplify)

The weekly amount of money spent on maintenance and repairs by a company was observed, over a long period of time, to be approximately normally distributed with mean $400 and standard deviation $20. How much should be budgeted for weekly repairs and maintenance to provide that the probability the budgeted amount will be exceeded in a given week is only 0.1?

Answers

Answer:

$425.6 should be budgeted for weekly repairs and maintenance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean $400 and standard deviation $20.

This means that [tex]\mu = 400, \sigma = 20[/tex]

How much should be budgeted for weekly repairs and maintenance to provide that the probability the budgeted amount will be exceeded in a given week is only 0.1?

This is the 100 - 10 = 90th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.9, so X when Z = 1.28.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]1.28 = \frac{X - 400}{20}[/tex]

[tex]X - 400 = 20*1.28[/tex]

[tex]X = 425.6[/tex]

$425.6 should be budgeted for weekly repairs and maintenance.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = # of favorable outcomes / possible outcomes

favorable outcomes is what we want to happen ( throwing more than 3 pitches )

So to find the # of favorable outcomes we must find the frequency that the pitcher throws more than 3 pitches ( note: frequency of throwing 3 pitches is not included)

There are two possible outcomes of the pitcher pitching more than 3 pitches, 4 pitches having a frequency of 15, and 5 pitches which has a frequency of 10

So # of favorable outcomes = 10 + 15 = 25

Now we want to find the # of possible outcomes.

To do so we simply add the frequencies of each possible outcome.

15 + 20 + 40 + 15 + 10 = 100

So there are a total of 100 possible outcomes

Finally to find the probability of the pitcher throwing more than 3 pitches we divide favorable outcomes ( 25) by possible outcomes (100)

Our answer = 25/100 which can be converted into a percentage as 25%

Answers

Answer:

(12,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

So whenever you are asked for an "intercept" it is the point where a line crosses the axis. The x intercept is where the line crosses at the x axis (horizontal line on the graph) and the y intercept is where the y axis crosses (vertical axis).

So this question is really asking where is the point when y = 0

The x values in the chart are 5 apart-- 22 +5 = 27, 27+ 5 = 32

The y values are 18 apart --> 36 + 18 = 54, 54+ 18 = 72

Make a little chart where y = 0 (this is where the x crosses) and you can see

there is a point at (17, 18) and then (12, 0) and that point is the x intercept.

Answer:

(12, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

the x-intercept is the point, where y=0.

so, the second coordinate is therefore 0, no matter what.

now, at what x is that ?

let's find the line function.

a line is

y = a×x + b

let's use the first point (22, 36)

36 = a×22 + b

a = (36 - b)/22

let's use the second point (27, 54)

54 = a×27 + b

now we use the first expression describing a in terms of b and insert that into the second expression.

54 = 27×(36 - b)/22 + b

54×22 = 27×(36 - b) + 22b = 972 - 27b + 22b

1188 = 972 - 5b

216 = -5b

b = -43.2

=>

a = (36 - -43.2)/22 = (36 + 43.2)/22 =79.2/22 = 3.6

our line is

y = 3.6x - 43.2

so, now back to the question, at what x is y=0 ?

0 = 3.6x - 43.2

3.6x = 43.2

x = 12

What is Probability?

It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event.

Two events are independent if the occurrence of one event does not affect the probability of the other event occurring.

Based on this definition, the scenario that depicts two independent events is Neva is hungry and she buys a snack from the concession stand.

The fact that Neva is hungry and decides to buy a snack from the concession stand is not affected by any other event.

The occurrence of one event (Neva buying a snack) does not affect the probability of the other event occurring.

Therefore, the Neva is hungry and she buys a snack from the concession stand. event is independent.

On a certain hot summer's day, 554 people used the public swimming pool. The
daily prices are $1.75 for children and $2.50 for adults. The receipts for admission totaled $1097.00.
How many children and how many adults swam at the public pool that day?


Answers

Answer:

Children= 384      Adults= 170

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write a system of algebraic equations:

[tex]1.75x+2.50y=1097[/tex]

[tex]x+y=554[/tex]

Second, use linear combination to eliminate one variable (I will eliminate x, or children.)

[tex]1.75x+2.50y=1097[/tex]

[tex]-1.75(x+y=554)[/tex]

[tex]1.75x+2.50y=1097[/tex]

[tex]-1.75x+-1.75y=-969.5[/tex]

[tex]0.75y=127.5[/tex]

Divide both sides by 0.75

[tex]0.75y=127.5[/tex]

[tex]/0.75[/tex]        [tex]/0.75[/tex]

[tex]y=170[/tex], there are 170 adults

Now, plug in 170 for [tex]x+y=554[/tex]

[tex]x+170=554[/tex]

Subtract 170 from both sides

[tex]x+170=554[/tex]

      [tex]-170[/tex]   [tex]-170[/tex]

[tex]x=384[/tex], there are 384 kids.

Hope this helps!!!

Answer:

384 children and 170 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

if x is children and y is adults

1.75x+2.5y=1097

x+y=554

1.75x=1097-2.5y

x=554-y

1.75x=1097-2.5y

1.75x=1.75(554-y)

1097-2.5y=969.5-1.75y

1097-969.5=2.5y-1.75y

127.5=0.75y

127.5/0.75=y

170=y

x+y=554

x=554-y

x=554-170

x=384

to prove these are correct just do 1.75(384)+2.5(170) and see if it equals 1097, and do 384+170 to see if its the amount of people

1.75(384)+2.5(170)

672+425

1097

384+170=554
