The congruent sides of an isosceles triangle are each 1 unit longer than the length of the shortest side of the triangle. The pe

rimeter of the triangle is the same as the perimeter of a square whose side length is 2 units shorter than the length of the shortest side of the triangle. What is the length of the shortest side of the triangle?

Answer:

10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the length of the shortest side of the triangle by x.  Then the sum of the lengths of the other two sides is 2(x + 1), and the perimeter of the triangle is thus x + 2(x + 1), or 3x + 2.

Represent the side length of the square by x - 2.  Then the perimeter of the square is 2(x - 2) + 2(x - 2) = 4(x - 2) = 4x - 8, and this perimeter matches that of the triangle:

4x - 8 = 3x + 2, or

x = 10

The length of the shortest side of the triangle is 10 units.

lianna [129]

Answer: A

n-4(32.5) > 300;n > 430tep-by-step explanation:

given that Zack wants to make a profit of more than $300 for painting 4 identical rooms. That is

Profit > $300

Then, the profit he makes is equal to the amount he is paid minus the cost of supplies. The cost of supplies is $32.50 for each room. That is

n - 32.5 and

P + 32.5 × 4

Where 4 = number of rooms

P + 130

The minimum profit = 300 + 130 = $430

Therefore, the inequality and solution that represent the dollar amount, n, that zack must be paid for each room if he is to make a profit of more than 300$ is

n-4(32.5) > 300;n > 430

Divide 794.1 by 7.61. Round off your answer to two decimal places. A. 104.35 B. 786.49 C. 95.83 D. 1,043.50
VikaD [51]
Answer: 
A. 104.35

Explanation: 
794.1 ÷ 7.61 = 104.34954 
Round off to two decimal places: 
104.349 
round 4 up to 5 because the next number is greater than 5: 
9 > 5 
So 
104.35

Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola with a focus at (3, 0) and a directrix at x = -3.
Nikitich [7]
Check the picture below.

now, keep in mind that the focus point is at 3,0 and the directrix is to the left-hand-side of it, therefore, is a horizontal parabola, and it opens to the right-hand-side, like in the picture.

keep in mind that the vertex is half-way between the focus point and directrix, at a distance "p" from either one, notice the "p" distance is just 3 units, since the parabola is opening to the right, "p" is positive.

\bf \textit{parabola vertex form with focus point distance}\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
\boxed{(y-{{ k}})^2=4{{ p}}(x-{{ h}})}
\\\\
(x-{{ h}})^2=4{{ p}}(y-{{ k}})
\end{array}
\qquad 
\begin{array}{llll}
vertex\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\\\
{{ p}}=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\
\qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
h=0\\
k=0\\
p=3
\end{cases}\implies (y-0)^2=4(3)(x-0)\implies y^2=12x\implies \cfrac{1}{12}y^2=x

After a number of complaints about its tech assistance, a computer manufacturer examined samples of calls to determine the frequ
icang [17]

Answer:

a) Upper Control Limit = 0.10

   Lower Control Limit = 0.01

b) The tech assistance process is stable and in control.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - After a number of complaints about its tech assistance, a

            computer manufacturer examined samples of calls to determine

            the frequency of wrong advice given to callers. Each sample

            consisted of 100 calls.

SAMPLE             1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10 11 12 13 14 15 16

Number of errors 5  3   5   7   4   6   8   4   5    9   3   4   5   6   6   7

To find - a. Determine 95 percent limits.

              b. Is the tech assistance process stable (i.e., in control)

Proof -

z = 95% confidence interval

  = 1.96

⇒z = 1.96

Proportion of defects,P = total defectives/total observations

                                     = 0.0544

⇒P = 0.0544

Now,

Q = 1-P

   = 0.9456

⇒Q = 0.9456

Now,

Average sample size, N = 100

Standard deviation = \sqrt{\frac{P.Q}{N} }

                             = 0.0227

Now,

Upper Control Limit = P + z(Standard deviation)

        = 0.0988

⇒Upper Control Limit = 0.0988 ≈ 0.10

And

Lower Control Limit = P - z(Standard deviation )

       = 0.0099

⇒Lower Control Limit = 0.0099 ≈ 0.01

∴ we get

Upper Control Limit = 0.10

Lower Control Limit = 0.01

b.)

Now,

it is clear that the fraction defective values are wit in upper an lower control limits.

So, The tech assistance process is stable and in control.
