What is a triangle?

It is a two-dimensional figure which has three sides and the sum of the three angles is equal to 180 degrees.

We have,

In this triangle:

angle W = (3x-24) degrees.

angle C = (4x-11) degrees.

angle T = 2x degrees.

Now,

The sum of the three angles is equal to 180 degrees.

3x - 24 + 4x - 11 + 2x = 180

9x - 35 = 180

9x = 180 + 35

9x = 215

x = 215/9

Now,

The angle W.

= 3x - 24

= (3 x 215/9) - 24

= 215/3 - 24

= 71.67 - 24

= 47.67

Thus,

The value of angle W is 47.67

Given the following functions, find the indicated values.
f(x)=8-4x
(a) f(-7) (b) f(0) (c) f(4)
(a) f(-7)=

Answers

Answer:

(a) 36, (b) 8, (c) - 8

======================

Given function

f(x) = 8 - 4x

Find the indicated values

(a) f(-7)

f(-7) = 8 - 4(-7) = 8 + 28 = 36

(b) f(0)

f(0) = 8 - 4(0) = 8 - 0 = 8

(c) f(4)

f(4) = 8 - 4(4) = 8 - 16 = - 8

Answer:

a) f(-7) = 36 b) f(0) = 8 c) f(4) = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

a) f(-7) = ?

→ f(x) = 8 - 4x

→ f(-7) = 8 - 4(-7)

→ f(-7) = 8 + 28

→ f(-7) = 36

Hence, f(-7) = 36.

b) f(0) = ?

→ f(x) = 8 - 4x

→ f(0) = 8 - 4(0)

→ f(0) = 8 - 0

→ f(0) = 8

Hence, f(0) = 8.

c) f(4) = ?

→ f(x) = 8 - 4x

→ f(4) = 8 - 4(4)

→ f(4) = 8 - 16

→ f(4) = -8

Hence, f(4) = -8.

What is SAS(Side -Angle-Side) triangle?

"SAS" is when we know two sides and the angle between them.

To solve an SAS triangle we use "The Law of Cosines" to calculate the unknown side.

The Law of Cosines = a² = b² + c² − 2bc cosA

where

'b' and 'c' are two given sides

'A' is the angle between side 'b' and 'c' and

a' is the unknown side which we have to find.

In ΔABC , b=21, c=20, a= AC

By the Cosine law

a² = 21²+20² - 2*21*20 cos90°

a² =441 + 400 - 0 (∵cos 90° =0)

a² = 841

a=√841

a=29= AC.

Now, in ΔCDE, b=8, c=15 and a = CE

By the Cosine law

a² = 8² + 15²- 2*8*15cos90°

a² = 64 + 225 - 0 (∵cos 90° =0)

a²= 289

a = 17 = CE.

AE = AC + CE

AE = 29+17= 46.

Therefore, the total segment AE is 46.

Write an equation of the line passing through point
P(-8, 0) that is perpendicular to the line y=-3

Answers

The equation of line passing through the point P(-8,0) that is perpendicular to the line y=-3 is y=0 which can be found out from slope intercept formula.

It is given to us that -

The point is P(-8,0)

The line is represented as y=-3

The point P is perpendicular to the given line.

We have to find out the equation of the line passing through P which is perpendicular to the given line.

We know that the equation of a line is given by -

y = mx + c

where, (x, y) = coordinates of the point

m = slope of the line

c = a constant

Comparing this with the equation of the given line, we have

m=0 and c =-3

This implies that the slope of the perpendicular is also equal to 0.

The slope intercept formula for the perpendicular line can be represented as -

y = mx + c

Using the coordinates of P(-8,0), we have

0 = 0*(-8) +c

=> c = 0.

Thus, the equation of line passing through the point P(-8,0) that is perpendicular to the line y=-3 is y=0.

A statistician proposed a new method for constructing a 90 percent confidence interval to estimate the median of assessed home values for homes in a large community. To test the method, the statistician will conduct a simulation by selecting 10,000 random samples of the same size from the population. For each sample, a confidence interval will be constructed using the new method. If the confidence level associated with the new method is actually 90 percent, which of the following will be captured by approximately 9000 of the confidence intervals constructed from the simulation?

(A) The Sample Mean
(B) The Sample Median
(C) The Sample Standard Division
(D) The Population mean

Answers

The measure that will be captured by approximately 9000 of the confidence intervals is given as follows:

(E) The Population Median.

What is the interpretation of a x% confidence interval?

The interpretation of a x% confidence interval is that it is x% likely that the population parameter(mean/proportion/standard deviation/median) is between a and b, which are the bounds of the confidence interval.

The bounds of the confidence interval are obtained by the estimate plus/minus the margin of error.

The measure for which the confidence intervals are calculated in this problem is given by:

Johnny has some nickels and dimes in his pocket, and the change is worth $0.75. He has twice as many dimes as nickels. How many of each type of coin does Johnny have?
| BTW this is a system of equations question

Answers

The number of dimes and nickels that Johnny has are 6 and 3 respectively.

How to calculate the value?

The following should be noted:

Nickel = 5 cent = 0.05

Dime = 10 cents = 0.10

Let the number of nickels = n

Let the number of dimes = 2n

Total worth = $0.75

This will be illustrated as:

0.05(n) + 0.10(2n) = 0.75

0.05n + 0.20n = 0.75

0.25n = 0.75

Divide

n = 0.75/0.25

n = 3

Number of nickels = 3

Number of dimes = 2n

= 2 × 3

Now, the total amount of dollars is $2000.

Now, we have the following progression:

This is an arithmetic progression.

an = a+(n-1)d where a is the first term and d is the common difference

2000 = 80+(n-1)80

2000 = 80+80n-80

2000 = 80n

What is a percentage?

The percentage is calculated by dividing the required value by the total value and multiplying by 100.

Example:

Required percentage value = a

total value = b

Percentage = a/b x 100

Example:

50% = 50/100 = 1/2

25% = 25/100 = 1/4

20% = 20/100 = 1/5

10% = 10/100 = 1/10

We have,

The first $25,000 is taxed at 8%.

This means,

Amount from 0 to $25000 is taxed at 8%.

Now,

Chris earned = $17,000

Tax amount.

= 8% of 17,000
