3. Segment Addition Postulate.

By the angle-angle similarity postulate, △YXZ∼△YZQ, and △YXZ∼△ZXQ.

The corresponding sides of two similar triangles are proportional.

Since similar triangles have proportional sides, therefore

[tex]\frac{a}{c}=\frac{f}{a}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{b}{c}=\frac{b}{e}[/tex]

Solving the equation for a² and b² gives

[tex]a^2=cf[/tex] and [tex]b^2=ce[/tex]

The value of a² is cf and the value b² is ce.

Adding these together gives

[tex]a^2+b^2=cf+ce[/tex]

Factoring out the common segment gives

[tex]a^2+b^2=c(f+e)[/tex]

From the given figure it is clear that

[tex]c=f+e[/tex]

        (Segment Addition Postulate)

Using the Segment Addition Postulate, we get

[tex]a^2+b^2=c(c)[/tex]

On simplification, we get

The y-coordinate of point C may have a value of 5 or -1.

If any of its inner angles is 90 degrees, the triangle is said to be right-angled. Another term for this triangle is the right triangle or 90-degree triangle.

The given data in the problem is;

A coordinate plane contains the right triangle ABC.

AB = 6 units

Surface area, A= 9 square units

The AB symbol is located on the x-axis parallel line y=2.AB will thus be perpendicular to the x-axis.

As a result, AB will be parallel to the side that contains point C. (BC or AC). As a result, the triangle's area should be justified by the length of the side or leg containing point C, which is the point's y-coordinate.

The other triangle leg's length should be,

BC = AC = 9/3

BC = AC = 3

Therefore, the point C's y-coordinate can be,

Step-by-step explanation:

If Year 1 is the base year, then the inflation rate in Year 2 was 2.10 percent. The correct option is a.

Inflation rate is the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services in an economy is increasing over a certain period of time, typically one year.

To calculate the inflation rate, we need to compare the price level in Year 2 to the price level in Year 1.

Using the data from Table 24-1, we can see that the price index in Year 2 is 102.1 and the price index in Year 1 is 100.0.

The inflation rate can be calculated using the following formula:

Inflation rate = (Price index in Year 2 - Price index in Year 1) / Price index in Year 1 * 100%

Plugging in the values, we get:

Inflation rate = (102.1 - 100.0) / 100.0 * 100%

Inflation rate = 2.1%

Therefore, the correct answer is (a) 2.10 percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

n and (n + 2)

Therefore,

n × (n + 2) = 8

n^2 + 2n = 8

n^2 +2n - 8 = 0

n^2 + 4n - 2n -8 = 0

n (n + 4) -2 ( n + 4)

(n - 2 ) ( n + 4)

Therefore,

n = -4 or + 2

But since n can't be negative, n = 2

substituting

(n+2) = 2+2 = 4

Therefore, the value of the greater integer is 4

The distribution value's skewness Pearson coefficient is 2.5.

Given that the median is 12 and the standard deviation is 6, the mean value is 17.

The difference between the mean and median is multiplied by three to determine Pearson's coefficient of skewness. By dividing the outcome by the standard deviation, A random variable, sample, statistical population, data set, or probability distribution's standard deviation is equal to the square root of its variance.

To determine Pearson's coefficient of skewness, use the following formula:

Skewness=(3(Mean-Median))÷standard deviation

Replace the values there with,

Skewness=(3(17-12))÷6

Skewness=(3×5)÷6

Skewness=5÷2

Skewness=2.5

Therefore, for a distribution with a mean of 17, a median of 12, and a standard deviation of 6, the value of the Pearson coefficient of skewness is 2.5.

The linear equation for the line which passes through the points given as (-1,4) and (5,2), is written in the point-slope form as [tex]$y=\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{13}{3}$[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

A condition is given that a line passes through the points whose coordinates are (-1,4) and (5,2).

It is asked to find the linear equation which satisfies the given condition.

Step 1 of 3

Determine the slope of the line.

The points through which the line passes are given as (-1,4) and (5,2). Next, the formula for the slope is given as,

[tex]$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$[/tex]

Substitute 2&4 for [tex]$y_{2}$[/tex] and [tex]$y_{1}$[/tex] respectively, and [tex]$5 \&-1$[/tex] for [tex]$x_{2}$[/tex] and [tex]$x_{1}$[/tex] respectively in the above formula. Then simplify to get the slope as follows,

[tex]m=\frac{2-4}{5-(-1)}$\\ $m=\frac{-2}{6}$\\ $m=-\frac{1}{3}$[/tex]

Step 2 of 3

Write the linear equation in point-slope form.

A linear equation in point slope form is given as,

[tex]$y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)$[/tex]

Substitute [tex]$-\frac{1}{3}$[/tex] for m,-1 for [tex]$x_{1}$[/tex], and 4 for [tex]$y_{1}$[/tex] in the above equation and simplify using the distributive property as follows,

[tex]y-4=-\frac{1}{3}(x-(-1))$\\ $y-4=-\frac{1}{3}(x+1)$\\ $y-4=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{1}{3}$[/tex]

Step 3 of 3

Simplify the equation further.

Add 4 on each side of the equation [tex]$y-4=\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{1}{3}$[/tex], and simplify as follows,

[tex]y-4+4=\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{1}{3}+4$\\ $y=\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{1+12}{3}$\\ $y=\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{13}{3}$[/tex]

This is the required linear equation.

The volume of gasoline in the cylindrical tank is increasing at 23.56 ft.³/sec when the depth of the gasoline in the tank is 6 feet. Computed using differentiation.

Since the tank is cylindrical in shape, its volume can be written as:

V = πr²d,

where V is its volume, r is the radius, and d is the depth.

The radius is constant, given r = 5ft.

Thus the volume can be shown as:

V = π(5)²d,

or, V = 25πd.

Differentiating this with respect to time, we get:

δV/δt = 25πδd/δt ... (i),

where δV/δt, represents the rate of change of volume with respect to time, and δd/δt represents the rate of change of depth with respect to time.

Now, we are given that when the depth increases at 0.3 ft./sec when the depth of the gasoline is 6 feet.

Thus, we can take δd/δt = 0.3 ft./sec, in (i) to get:

δV/δt = 25πδd/δt = 25π(0.3) ft.³/sec = 23.56 ft.³/sec.

Thus, the volume of gasoline in the cylindrical tank is increasing at 23.56 ft.³/sec when the depth of the gasoline in the tank is 6 feet. Computed using differentiation.

The question written correctly is:

"Gasoline is pouring into a vertical cylindrical tank of radius 5 feet. When the depth of the gasoline is 6 feet, the depth is increasing at 0.3 ft./sec. How fast is the volume of gasoline changing at that instant?"

The local maximum of the function f(x) is (0,64)

Given,

From the table we can notice that when ₋2<x<0, f(x) is increasing

And in case of when 0<x<3, f(x) is decreasing progressively.

we know that a local maximum is present on the graph of the function y=f(x) at the location where the graph shifts from increasing to decreasing. The tangent has zero slope at this location. And at the point when the graph shifts from declining to increasing, a local minimum is present.

Therefore, a local maximum also known as relative maximum, is a maximum that exists in a certain area and is not necessarily(but could be) a global maximum.

Hence f(0) is a local maximum of the ordered pair (0,64)

The growth of the lily pad is in geometric progression, and it covers half the pond in 29 days.

In the question, we are given that the size of the lily pad doubles itself every day.

If we assume the size of the lily pad on the first day as a, then on the second day its size will be 2a, on the third day it will be 2(2a) = 4a, and on the fourth day, it will be 2(4a) = 8a, and so on.

This makes a geometric progression, with the first term as a, and the constant ratio as 2.

We are given that on the 30th day, the size of the lily pad, covers the entire pond.

The size on the 30th day can be shown as the 30th term of this geometric progression

Therefore, size of the  pond = a(2)³⁰⁻¹ = a.2²⁹. {Using the formula, aₙ = arⁿ⁻¹, where aₙ is the n-th term, a is the first term, and r is the constant ratio}.

We are asked the day on which the pond is half covered.

The size of the pond in this case = (a.2²⁹)/2 = a.2²⁸.

The day can be calculated as follows:

a.2ⁿ⁻¹ = a.2²⁸,

or, 2ⁿ/2 = 2²⁸,

or, 2ⁿ = 2²⁹,

or, n = 29.

Thus, the lily pad covers half the pond on the 29th day.

We conclude that f(x) is odd, so the correct option is A.

f(x) is an odd function if:

f(-x) = -f(x).

f(x) is an even function if:

f(x) = f(-x).

In this case, we know that the function f(x) has the points:

{ (-2, 8), (-1, -3.5), (0, 0), (1, 3.5), (2, -8)}

As you can see:

f(-2) = 8

f(2) = -8

Then:

f(-2) = -f(2)

Also:

f(-1) = -3.5

f(1) = 3.5
