Select the correct augmented matrices. Liam wants to buy a car and pay for it in three installments. The total cost of the car i

s $29,000. Two times the first installment is $1,000 more than the sum of the third installment and three times the second installment. Liam must pay 15% interest on the second and the third installments: the interest will amount to $2,100. If x, y, and z represent the first, second, and third installments, respectively, identify the augmented matrices that model Liam's situation.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The total cost of the car is 29,000 dollars. Which is paid in three installments . x , y and z are the installments.

To Find:

The value of x, y and z.

Solving:

It is said that 2 times the 1 installment is $1,000 ore than the sum of the 3 rd installment and 3 times the second installment.

= 2x = 1000 + z + 3y

Transposing:

= z = 2x - 3y - 1000

x + y + z = 29000 + 2100

= x + y + z = 31100

= x + y + 2x - 3y - 1000 = 31100

= 3x - 2y = 32100

First installment at start paid = x (We have assumed)

Remaining Installment which is left to pay = 29,000 - x

(29,000 - x) * 15 /100 = Interest for First

= (29000 - x) * 3/20

=> 4350 - 0.15x

Installment Paid Second = y

(29000 - x) + 4350 - 0.15x - y ) * 15/100 = Interest Second

(29000 - x) + 4350 - 0.15x - y ) * 3/20

= 5002.5 - 0.1725x - 0.15y

Interest of 1st installment + Interest of 2nd installment = 2100

Using this principle solving:

= 4,350 - 0.15x + 5,002.5 - 0.1725x - 0.15y = 2,100

= 0.3225x + 0.15y = 7,252.5

= 6.45x + 3y = 1,45,050

= 12.9x + 6y = 2,90,100

= 4.3x + 2y = 96,700

= 4.3x + 2y = 96700

= 3x - 2y = 32,100

= 7.3x = 1,28,800

= x ≈ 17644 ( 17,643.8356)

3x - 2y = 32,100

= y ≈ 10416 (10,415.7534 )

x + y + z = 31100

= z ≈ 3040 ( 3,040.4110 )

An isosceles triangle ABC with the base BC is inscribed in a circle. Find the measure of angles of it, if measure of arc BC = 10

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

The measures of the angles of the triangle are 51° , 64.5° , 64.5°

OR

The measures of the angles of the triangle are 129° , 25.5° , 25.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the meaning of the inscribed triangle in a circle

- If a triangle inscribed in a circle, then the vertices of the triangle lie

on the circumference of the circle and each vertex is an inscribed

angle in the circle subtended by the opposite arc

- Fact in the circle the measure of the inscribed angle is 1/2 the

measure of its subtended arc

* Now lets solve the problem

- Δ ABC is an isosceles with the base BC

∴ AB = AC

∴ m∠B = m∠C

- Δ ABC is inscribed in a circle

∴ ∠A is inscribed angle subtended by arc BC (minor or major)

# The measure of the minor arc is less than 180° and the measure of

the major arc is greater then 180° and the sum of the two arcs

equals the measure of the circle which is 360°

∴ ∠B subtended by arc AC

∴ ∠C subtended by arc AB

∵ The measure of the arc BC = 102°

- There is two cases in this question

(1) If the angle A subtended by the minor arc BC

(2) If the angle A subtended by the major arc BC

- Lets solve case (1)

∵ ∠A is an inscribed angle subtended by the minor arc BC

∴ m∠A = 1/2 the measure of the arc BC

∵ The measure of the arc BC is 102°

∴ m∠A = 1/2 × 102 = 51°

∵ The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°

∴ m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

∴ 51 + m∠B + m∠C = 180° ⇒ subtract 51 from both sides

∴ m∠B + m∠C = 129°

∵ m∠B = m∠C ⇒ isosceles Δ

∴ m∠B = m∠C = 129/2 = 64.5°

* The measures of the angles of the triangle are 51° , 64.5° , 64.5°

- Lets solve case (2)

∵ ∠A is an inscribed angle subtended by the major arc BC

∴ m∠A = 1/2 the measure of the arc BC

∵ The measure of the minor arc BC is 102°

∵ The measure of the circle is 360°

∴ The measure of the major arc = 360 - 102 = 258°

∴ m∠A = 1/2 × 258 = 129°

∵ The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°

∴ m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

∴ 129 + m∠B + m∠C = 180° ⇒ subtract 129 from both sides

∴ m∠B + m∠C = 51°

∵ m∠B = m∠C ⇒ isosceles Δ

∴ m∠B = m∠C = 51/2 = 25.5°

* The measures of the angles of the triangle are 129° , 25.5° , 25.5°

A random supporter roots the home team with probability 0.9, and the away team with probability 0.1.

Choosing 6 out of 8 supporters who root for the home team has probability

$\displaystyle\binom{8}{6}\cdot 0.9^6\cdot 0.1^2 = 28\cdot0.531441\cdot 0.01=0.14$

Searchers are planning a study to estimate the impact on crop yield when no-till is used in combination with residue retention a

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

n=77

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation and definitions

$\hat p=0.025$ or 2.5%, estimated proportion for decline in crop yield when no-till is used with residue retention and crop rotation

$p$ true population proportion for decline in crop yield when no-till is used with residue retention and crop rotation

n (variable of interest) represent the sample size required

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that $ME =\pm 0.035$ or 3.5% and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96$

And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

$n=\frac{0.025(1-0.025)}{(\frac{0.035}{1.96})^2}=76.44$

And rounded up we have that n=77
