Tan(angle) = opposite leg/ adjacent leg

Tan(30) = x/22

X = 22 * tan(30 )

X = 12.701 feet.

Round as needed

Twenty-five juniors from a University volunteer to allow their Math GRE test scores to be used in a study. These 25 juniors had

fgiga [73]

Let's start first by writing down the given:
σ = 100
sample mean = 450
sample size = 25

These information, plus the fact that we know that the population is approximately normally distributed, would tell us that we can use the normal distribution curve in analyzing the problem.

A confidence interval of the mean is just a range statistically estimated to contain the population mean. For a 90% confidence interval, we would look at the Z-table and see where 90% of the data falls. We'll notice that it will fall within 1.645 standard deviations of the mean.

Next, we look for the standard error of the mean. This will have a formula
$error= \frac{standard deviation of population}{ \sqrt{N} }$

The standard error would just therefore be equal to
$\frac{100}{ \sqrt{25} }= \frac{100}{5} =20$

Lastly, we just get the product of the standard error and 1.645 and add it to 450 for the maximum value and subtract it to 450 for the minimum value.
$450-20(1.645)=417.1$
$450+20(1.645)=482.9$

ANSWER: 417.1<μ<482.9

Jenny multiplies the square root of her favorite positive integer by $\sqrt{2}$. Her product is an integer. a) Name three number

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Part a) $2,50,18$

Part b) When Jenny divides the square root of her favorite positive integer by $\sqrt{2}$ , she gets an integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-------> the favorite positive integer

Part a)

1) For $x=2$

$\sqrt{2}*\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{4}=2$ -----> the product is an integer

so

The number $x=2$ could be Jenny favorite positive integer

2) For $x=50$

$\sqrt{50}*\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{100}=10$ -----> the product is an integer

so

The number $x=50$ could be Jenny favorite positive integer

3) For $x=18$

$\sqrt{18}*\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{36}=6$ -----> the product is an integer

so

The number $x=18$ could be Jenny favorite positive integer

Part B)

1) For $x=2$

$\sqrt{2}/\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{1}=1$ -----> the result is an integer

2) For $x=50$

$\sqrt{50}/\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{25}=5$ -----> the result is an integer

3) For $x=18$

$\sqrt{18}/\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{9}=3$ -----> the result is an integer

Therefore

When Jenny divides the square root of her favorite positive integer by $\sqrt{2}$ , she gets an integer

An astronaut on the moon throws a baseball upward. the astronaut is 6 ft, 6 in. tall, and the initial velocity of the ball is

marta [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The position function is

$s(t)=-2.7t^2+50t+6.5$ and if we are looking for the time(s) that the ball is 10 feet above the surface of the moon, we sub in a 10 for s(t) and solve for t:

$10=-2.7t^2+50t+6.5$ and

$0=-2.7t^2+50t-3.5$ and factor that however you are currently factoring quadratics in class to get

t = .07 sec and t = 18.45 sec

There are 2 times that the ball passes 10 feet above the surface of the moon, once going up (.07 sec) and then again coming down (18.45 sec).

For part B, we are looking for the time that the ball lands on the surface of the moon. Set the height equal to 0 because the height of something ON the ground is 0:

$0=-2.7t^2+50t+6.5$ and factor that to get

t = -.129 sec and t = 18.65 sec

Since time can NEVER be negative, we know that it takes 18.65 seconds after launch for the ball to land on the surface of the moon.

Emma borrowed $300 to repair her car. the finance (interest) charge on the loan was $20, and the term on the loan was 14 days. w

Murrr4er [49]

Given:
loan amount = 300
finance charge = 20
term = 14 days.

To solve for APR.
<span>1. Divide the finance charge by the loan amount.
20/300 = 0.0667

2. Multiply the result by 365.
0.0667 x 365 = 24.35

3. Divide the result by the term of the loan.
24.35/14 = 1.74 (APR in decimal format)
<span>
4. Multiply the result by 100.
1.74 x 100 = 174% APR</span></span>
