Step-by-step explanation:

7h - 5(3h - 8) = -72  Distribute the -5

7h - 5(3h )(-5)(-8) = -72  A negative times a negative is a positive

7h - 15h + 40 = -72  Combine like terms

-8h + 40 = -72  Subtract 40 from both sides

-8h +40 - 40 = -72 - 40

-8h = -32  Divide both sides by -8

[tex]\frac{-8h}{-8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-32}{-8}[/tex]

h = 4

The statement that in the Orthogonal Decomposition Theorem, each term in formula (2) for Å, is itself an orthogonal projection of y onto a subspace of W is true .

The orthogonal decomposition of the vector of is the sum of the vectors of the subspaces of and the vectors of the orthogonal complements of . The orthogonal decomposition theorem states that each vector in can be uniquely described in the form , if W is a subspace of V then ecah vector in can be written in uniquely. Therefore z belongs to W⊥ because it is orthogonal to the spanning set of W. To keep the decomposition y = p + z unique, assume another decomposition y = q + w such that q ∈ W and w ∈ W⊥. Both decompositions are equal to y, so we have p − q = w − z. where p − q is in W and w − z is in W⊥.

On solving the provided question, we can say that -  95 confidence interval Z alpha 2 = 1.96, CI = (4.1 , 53.9)

The z critical value is 1.96 for a test with a 95% confidence level (e.g. = 0.05). The z critical value is 5.576 for a test with a 99% confidence level (for instance, with = 0.01).

The two red tails represent the alpha level split by two. Finding the z-score for an alpha level for a two-tailed test is what is meant when a question asks you to determine z alpha/2. The confidence interval may be subtracted from 100% to calculate alpha, which is connected to confidence levels.

for 95% confidence,

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

3 x^4 - 16 x^3 + 4 x + 363 = 0

Eliminate the cubic term by substituting y = x - 4/3:

363 + 4 (y + 4/3) - 16 (y + 4/3)^3 + 3 (y + 4/3)^4 = 0

Expand out terms of the left-hand side:

3 y^4 - 32 y^2 - (476 y)/9 + 3059/9 = 0

Divide both sides by 3:

y^4 - (32 y^2)/3 - (476 y)/27 + 3059/27 = 0

Add 2/3 sqrt(3059/3) y^2 + (32 y^2)/3 + (476 y)/27 to both sides:

y^4 + 2/3 sqrt(3059/3) y^2 + 3059/27 = 2/3 sqrt(3059/3) y^2 + (32 y^2)/3 + (476 y)/27

y^4 + 2/3 sqrt(3059/3) y^2 + 3059/27 = (y^2 + sqrt(3059/3)/3)^2:

(y^2 + sqrt(3059/3)/3)^2 = 2/3 sqrt(3059/3) y^2 + (32 y^2)/3 + (476 y)/27

Add 2 (y^2 + sqrt(3059/3)/3) λ + λ^2 to both sides:

(y^2 + sqrt(3059/3)/3)^2 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(3059/3)/3) + λ^2 = (476 y)/27 + 2/3 sqrt(3059/3) y^2 + (32 y^2)/3 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(3059/3)/3) + λ^2

(y^2 + sqrt(3059/3)/3)^2 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(3059/3)/3) + λ^2 = (y^2 + sqrt(3059/3)/3 + λ)^2:

(y^2 + sqrt(3059/3)/3 + λ)^2 = (476 y)/27 + 2/3 sqrt(3059/3) y^2 + (32 y^2)/3 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(3059/3)/3) + λ^2

(476 y)/27 + 2/3 sqrt(3059/3) y^2 + (32 y^2)/3 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(3059/3)/3) + λ^2 = (2 λ + 32/3 + (2 sqrt(3059/3))/3) y^2 + (476 y)/27 + 2/3 sqrt(3059/3) λ + λ^2:

(y^2 + sqrt(3059/3)/3 + λ)^2 = y^2 (2 λ + 32/3 + (2 sqrt(3059/3))/3) + (476 y)/27 + 2/3 sqrt(3059/3) λ + λ^2

Complete the square on the right-hand side:

(y^2 + sqrt(3059/3)/3 + λ)^2 = (y sqrt(2 λ + 32/3 + (2 sqrt(3059/3))/3) + 238/(27 sqrt(2 λ + 32/3 + (2 sqrt(3059/3))/3)))^2 + (4 (2 λ + 32/3 + (2 sqrt(3059/3))/3) (λ^2 + 2/3 sqrt(3059/3) λ) - 226576/729)/(4 (2 λ + 32/3 + (2 sqrt(3059/3))/3))

To express the right-hand side as a square, find a value of λ such that the last term is 0.

This means 4 (2 λ + 32/3 + (2 sqrt(3059/3))/3) (λ^2 + 2/3 sqrt(3059/3) λ) - 226576/729 = 8/729 (729 λ^3 + 243 sqrt(9177) λ^2 + 3888 λ^2 + 864 sqrt(9177) λ + 165186 λ - 28322) = 0.

Thus the root λ = 1/9 (-sqrt(9177) - 16) + (85 13^(2/3) (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(6 (3 (i sqrt(7766346) - 4023))^(1/3)) + ((-i sqrt(3) + 1) (13 (i sqrt(7766346) - 4023))^(1/3))/(6 3^(2/3)) allows the right-hand side to be expressed as a square.

(This value will be substituted later):

(y^2 + sqrt(3059/3)/3 + λ)^2 = (y sqrt(2 λ + 32/3 + (2 sqrt(3059/3))/3) + 238/(27 sqrt(2 λ + 32/3 + (2 sqrt(3059/3))/3)))^2

Take the square root of both sides:

y^2 + sqrt(3059/3)/3 + λ = y sqrt(2 λ + 32/3 + (2 sqrt(3059/3))/3) + 238/(27 sqrt(2 λ + 32/3 + (2 sqrt(3059/3))/3)) or y^2 + sqrt(3059/3)/3 + λ = -y sqrt(2 λ + 32/3 + (2 sqrt(3059/3))/3) - 238/(27 sqrt(2 λ + 32/3 + (2 sqrt(3059/3))/3))

Solve using the quadratic formula:

y = 1/6 (sqrt(2) sqrt(9 λ + 48 + sqrt(9177)) + sqrt(2) sqrt(48 - sqrt(9177) - 9 λ + 238 sqrt(2) 1/sqrt(9 λ + 48 + sqrt(9177)))) or y = 1/6 (sqrt(2) sqrt(9 λ + 48 + sqrt(9177)) - sqrt(2) sqrt(48 - sqrt(9177) - 9 λ + 238 sqrt(2) 1/sqrt(9 λ + 48 + sqrt(9177)))) or y = 1/6 (sqrt(2) sqrt(48 - sqrt(9177) - 9 λ - 238 sqrt(2) 1/sqrt(9 λ + 48 + sqrt(9177))) - sqrt(2) sqrt(9 λ + 48 + sqrt(9177))) or y = 1/6 (-sqrt(2) sqrt(9 λ + 48 + sqrt(9177)) - sqrt(2) sqrt(48 - sqrt(9177) - 9 λ - 238 sqrt(2) 1/sqrt(9 λ + 48 + sqrt(9177)))) where λ = 1/9 (-sqrt(9177) - 16) + (85 13^(2/3) (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(6 (3 (i sqrt(7766346) - 4023))^(1/3)) + ((-i sqrt(3) + 1) (13 (i sqrt(7766346) - 4023))^(1/3))/(6 3^(2/3))

Substitute λ = 1/9 (-sqrt(9177) - 16) + (85 13^(2/3) (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(6 (3 (i sqrt(7766346) - 4023))^(1/3)) + ((-i sqrt(3) + 1) (13 (i sqrt(7766346) - 4023))^(1/3))/(6 3^(2/3)) and approximate:

y = -2.83639 - 2.06535 i or y = -2.83639 + 2.06535 i or y = 2.83639 - 1.07606 i or y = 2.83639 + 1.07606 i

Substitute back for y = x - 4/3:

x - 4/3 = -2.83639 - 2.06535 i or y = -2.83639 + 2.06535 i or y = 2.83639 - 1.07606 i or y = 2.83639 + 1.07606 i

Add 4/3 to both sides:

x = -1.50306 - 2.06535 i or y = -2.83639 + 2.06535 i or y = 2.83639 - 1.07606 i or y = 2.83639 + 1.07606 i

Substitute back for y = x - 4/3:

x = -1.50306 - 2.06535 i or x - 4/3 = -2.83639 + 2.06535 i or y = 2.83639 - 1.07606 i or y = 2.83639 + 1.07606 i

Add 4/3 to both sides:

x = -1.50306 - 2.06535 i or x = -1.50306 + 2.06535 i or y = 2.83639 - 1.07606 i or y = 2.83639 + 1.07606 i

Substitute back for y = x - 4/3:

x = -1.50306 - 2.06535 i or x = -1.50306 + 2.06535 i or x - 4/3 = 2.83639 - 1.07606 i or y = 2.83639 + 1.07606 i

Add 4/3 to both sides:

x = -1.50306 - 2.06535 i or x = -1.50306 + 2.06535 i or x = 4.16972 - 1.07606 i or y = 2.83639 + 1.07606 i

Substitute back for y = x - 4/3:

x = -1.50306 - 2.06535 i or x = -1.50306 + 2.06535 i or x = 4.16972 - 1.07606 i or x - 4/3 = 2.83639 + 1.07606 i

Add 4/3 to both sides:

Answer:  x = -1.50306 - 2.06535 i or x = -1.50306 + 2.06535 i or x = 4.16972 - 1.07606 i or x = 4.16972 + 1.07606 i

The probability that (a and b) or (c and d) or (b and d) are selected is 3/25

To find the probability that a and b or c and d or b and d are selected, we can use the formula for probability:

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes

Probability of a = 1/5

Probability of b = 1/5

Probability of a and b = 1/5 × 1/5 = 1/25

Probability of c = 1/5

Probability of d = 1/5

Probability of c and d = 1/5 × 1/5 = 1/25

Probability of b = 1/5

Probability of d = 1/5

Probability of b and d = 1/5 × 1/5 = 1/25

The probability that (a and b) or (c and d) or (b and d) are selected will be:

Probability of (a and b) or (c and d) or (b and d) = P(a and b) +  P(c and d +  P(b and d)

Probability of (a and b) or  (c and d) or (b and d) = 1/25 + 1/25 + 1/25 = 3/25

Initially find the similarity in each row or column. Get the logic relation between the blocks/tiles. Then try to apply the same logic on the missing tile/block to get the answer.

In the given question there are 9 tiles with 1 missing tile.

Now Check the first row:(As we go to the right one-by-one)

1) Normal circle is changing its square side in anti clockwise direction and also it goes in and out every time we pass a block/tile.

2)Dark circle is at corners of the squares as we pass the block it goes out or in tile by tile and also it changes the corner every time one corner is visited.

3)Triangle is at corners of the square and always inside the square, it changes the corner tile by tile in anti clockwise direction.

Similarly the same logic applies to remaining two rows.

Now for third row:

1) As the normal circle is at right side of square and inside the square, as we pass the tile it goes up(anti clockwise) and to outside of square.

2)The dark circle changes the corner once it visits a corner as it visited the down corner once it changes the corner to top right of square

3)Triangle just changes the corner as we pass, so it goes to bottom left corner of the square.

  (b)  16.64%

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the total interest earned on a 200,000 investment at ...

And you want to know the effective rate for the last period.

The multiplier of the investment at rate r compounded n times per year for t years is ...

  k = (1 +r/n)^(nt)

Using this multiplier for the rates and periods given the balance of the account at the end of 6 years will be ...

  200,000(1 +.08/12)^(12·2) × (1 +.12/4)^(4·1.5) × (1 +.16/2)^(2·2.5)

  ≈ 411,555.72

The interest earned is the difference between the account balance and the principal invested:

  411,555.72 -200,000 = 211,555.72 . . . . interest earned in 6 years

The annual multiplier for the last term is ...

  (1 +.16/2)^(2·1) = 1.1664

The effective interest rate is 1 less than this:

  16.64% = effective rate during final year

Charles evaluates f(-2) and determines its value to be 30  Charles concludes that is not factor of f(x).

What is Factor theorem?

The factor theorem in algebra establishes a connection between a polynomial's factors and zeros. The polynomial remainder theorem has this particular special instance. A polynomial f(x) has a factor if and only if f=0, according to the factor theorem.

Given : f(x)=2x^4 -3x^3 +5x -16

By Factor theorem, If x+2 is a factor of f(x), then f(-2) should be equal to 0.

So, Charles can use factor theorem to determine whether x + 2 is a factor of f(x) by putting x=-2 in f(x),

f(x) = 2x^4 -3x^3 +5x -16

     = 2×(-2)^4 - 3×(-2)^3 + 5(-2) - 16

     = 2×16 + 3×8 - 10 - 16

     = 32 + 24 -10 -16

     = 56 -26

     = 30.

Since, f(-2) ≠ 0, (x +2) is not a factor of f(x).

Answer: Hence, the time taken by the experienced crew would be 9 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

To graph the triangle AABC, we can plot the coordinates of the three vertices and then connect them to form the triangle. The coordinates of the vertices are (0, 2), (3, 2), and (2, 1), so we can plot these points on a coordinate grid and connect them with line segments to form the triangle:

(0,2) __________ (3,2)

To reflect the triangle in the x-axis, we can multiply the y-coordinate of each vertex by -1. This will cause the triangle to be flipped over the x-axis. The coordinates of the reflected triangle are (0, -2), (3, -2), and (2, -1), so we can plot these points on the same coordinate grid and connect them with line segments to form the reflected triangle:

The p-value for the hypothesis test about factor b is greater than 0.05.

What is Hypothesis?

In effect, a theory is a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that refers to a particular issue or problem.

Thus, a hypothesis is a set of possible explanations or resolutions applicable to a situation. In other words, the hypotheses pose different scenarios in which the aim is to explain the origin and eventual resolution of the problem.

The p-value for the hypothesis test about factor b is greater than 0.05.

The p-value is a measure of statistical significance used in hypothesis testing. It represents the probability of obtaining a result at least as extreme as the one observed in the sample, given that the null hypothesis is true.

In general, a p-value less than 0.05 is considered statistically significant and indicates that the observed result is unlikely to have occurred by chance. A p-value between 0.01 and 0.025 is considered moderately significant, while a p-value between 0.025 and 0.05 is considered borderline significant. A p-value greater than 0.05 is not considered statistically significant and indicates that the observed result is likely due to chance.

Describe hypothesis.

A theory is, in essence, a hypothesis or set of hypotheses pertaining to a certain subject or issue(s).

Consequently, a hypothesis is a group of potential explanations or solutions that could be applied to a situation. In other words, the hypotheses present many possibilities with the intent of illuminating the problem's origin and potential solutions.

The p-value for the factor b hypothesis test is higher than 0.05.

A statistical significance indicator used in hypothesis testing is the p-value. Given that the null hypothesis is true, it represents the likelihood of obtaining a result that is at least as extreme as the one seen in the sample.

A p-value of less than 0.05 is typically regarded as statistically significant and denotes the likelihood that the observed result did not arise by chance. While a p-value between 0.025 and 0.05 is regarded as borderline significant, one between 0.01 and 0.025 is regarded as moderately significant. The observed result is most likely the result of chance if the p-value is greater than 0.05, which is the threshold for statistical significance.

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Legs = 3cm and h cm

Hypotenuse = 8 cm

The area of the triangle is calculated using

Area = 0.5 * b * h

Where

h = √(8² - 3²) --- this is gotten from the Pythagorean theorem

So, we have

h = 7.4

The area is then calculated as

Area = 0.5 * b * h

So, we have

Area = 0.5 * 3 * 7.4

Step-by-step explanation:

since it is geometric sequence we will use the formula

[tex]tn = {a \times r}^{n - 1} [/tex]

a = 2

[tex]r = - \frac{1}{4} [/tex]

The first term

T1(a) = 2

The second Term

[tex]t2 = {a \times r}^{2 - 1} = {a \times r}^{1} [/tex]

[tex]t2 = {2 \times - \frac{1}{4} }^{1} = - \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

The third term

[tex]t3 = {a \times r}^{3 - 1} = {a \times r}^{2} [/tex]

[tex]t3 = {2 \times - \frac{1}{4} }^{2} = 2 \times - \frac{1}{16} = \frac{1}{8} [/tex]

The fourth term

[tex]t4 = {a \times r}^{4 - 1} = {a \times r}^{3} [/tex]

[tex]t4 = {2 \times - \frac{1}{4} }^{3} = 2 \times - \frac{1}{64} = - \frac{1}{32} [/tex]

The fifth term

[tex]t5 = {a \times r}^{5 - 1} = {a \times r}^{4} [/tex]

[tex]t5 = {2 \times - \frac{1}{4} }^{4} = 2 \times - \frac{1}{256} = - \frac{1}{128} [/tex]

i hope all these helped

Answer:

[tex]2,\; -\dfrac{1}{2},\; \dfrac{1}{8},\; -\dfrac{1}{32},\; \dfrac{1}{128}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5.5 cm}\underline{Geometric sequence}\\\\$a_n=ar^{n-1}$\\\\where:\\\phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $a$ is the first term. \\\phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $r$ is the common ratio.\\\phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $a_n$ is the $n$th term.\\\phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $n$ is the position of the term.\\\end{minipage}}[/tex]

Given:

Substitute the given values of a and r into the formula to create an equation for the nth term:

[tex]a_n=2\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{n-1}[/tex]

To find the first 5 terms of the geometric sequence, substitute n = 1 through 5 into the equation.

[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies a_1 & =2\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{1-1}\\& =2\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{0}\\& =2\left(1\right)\\&=2\end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies a_2 & =2\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{2-1}\\& =2\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{1}\\& =2\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)\\&=-\dfrac{1}{2}\end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies a_3 & =2\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{3-1}\\& =2\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{2}\\& =2\left(\dfrac{1}{16}\right)\\&=\dfrac{1}{8}\end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies a_4 & =2\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{4-1}\\& =2\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{3}\\& =2\left(-\dfrac{1}{64}\right)\\& =-\dfrac{1}{32}\end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies a_5 & =2\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{5-1}\\& =2\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{4}\\& =2\left(\dfrac{1}{256}\right)\\& =\dfrac{1}{128}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the first 5 terms of the given geometric sequence are:

[tex]2,\; -\dfrac{1}{2},\; \dfrac{1}{8},\; -\dfrac{1}{32},\; \dfrac{1}{128}[/tex]

The inequality that represents the number of minutes Cynthia would need to walk to reach her goal before she gets to school is;

50m + 236 ≥ 950

We are told that;

Cynthia has a watch that counts the number of steps she takes every

day.

She can get 50 steps every minute for a casual walk.

Number of steps she has walked today = 236 steps

Number of steps she wants to get to before going to school = 950 steps

Now, if m represents the number of minutes Cynthia would need to walk to reach her goal before she gets to school, then the inequality equation her is;

50m + 236 ≥ 950
