Answer:

29.15 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

George walks; 25km west and then 15 km south

Resolving the directions to x and y axis;

North and South represent positive and negative y axis.

East and West represent positive and negative x axis respectively.

25km west

Rx = -25 km

15 km south

Ry = -15 km

The resultant displacement from the house is;

R = √(Rx^2 + Ry^2)

Substituting the values;

R = √((-15)^2 + (-25)^2)

R = √(225+625)

R = √(850)

R = 29.15 km

Therefore, he is 29.15 km from house

Which equation correctly uses point (–2, –6) to write the equation of this line in point-slope form? Y – 6 = y minus 6 equals St

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Part 1) $y+6=\frac{2}{5}(x+2)$

Part 2) $y+6=\frac{5}{2}(x+2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in point slope form is

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we're going to analyze two cases

<em>First case</em>

$Point\ (-2,-6)$

$slope\ m=\frac{2}{5}$

substitute

$y+6=\frac{2}{5}(x+2)$

therefore

y plus 6 equals StartFraction 2 Over 5 EndFraction left-parenthesis x plus 2 right parenthesis

<em>Second case</em>

$Point\ (-2,-6)$

$slope\ m=\frac{5}{2}$

substitute

$y+6=\frac{5}{2}(x+2)$

therefore

y plus 6 equals StartFraction 5 Over 2 EndFraction left-parenthesis x plus 2 right parenthesis

Consider the function represented by the equation y-6x-9=0. Which answer shows the equation written in function notation with x

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

A. f(x) = 6x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

y - 6x - 9 = 0

We have to write this equation in function notation with x as the independent variable. This means that y will be replaced by f(x) and all other terms will be carried to the other side of the equation to get the desired function notation.

y - 6x - 9 = 0

y = 6x + 9

f(x) = 6x + 9

Therefore, option A gives the correct answer.

George still has 40 percent of his book to read. If George has read 180 pages, how many pages does he still have to read? How do

beks73 [17]

Answer: 72

Step-by-step explanation: so you do a line = line method the lines should look like they are fractions.

you do it for the both numbers the percent is always out of 100.

it should look like this

40% ?

--------- = -----------

100% 180

then you cross multiply 40 and 180 and than divide it by 100. your answer should be 72. you later replace the ? with 72

you know this because It is smaller than 180 and its bigger than the number 40.

There is many ways to do this but i did it this way.

180-123.75= 56.25

56.25/5=11.25

Suppose that you want to estimate the mean pH of rainfalls in an area that suffers from heavy pollution due to the discharge of

labwork [276]

Answer:

The number of rainfalls is $n =96$

The answer to the second question is no it will not be valid this because from the question we are told that the experiment require one pH reading per rainfall so getting multiply specimens(used for the pH reading) from one rainfall will make the experiment invalid.

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question we are told that

The standard deviation is $\sigma = 0.5$

The margin of error is $E = 0.1$

Given that the confidence level is 95% then we can evaluate the level of significance as

$\alpha = 100 - 95$

$\alpha = 5 \%$

$\alpha =0.05$

Next we will obtain the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ from the normal distribution table , the value is $Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

$n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} * \sigma }}{ E} ]^2$

substituting values

$n = [\frac{1.96 * 0.5 }{ 0.1} ]^2$

$n =96$

The answer to the second question is no the validity is null this because from the question we are told that the experiment require one pH reading per rainfall so getting multiply specimens(used for the pH reading) from one rainfall will make the experiment invalid
