RT = RS + ST
8x - 43 = 2x - 4 + 4x - 1
8x - 43 = 6x - 5
8x - 6x = -5 + 43
2x = 38
x = 38/2
x = 19

QS = 2RS = 2(2x-4) = 2(2*19-4) = 2*34 = 68

The following data represent the length of life in
Natali [406]

Answer:

(a) For the stem-and-leaf plot, we need to organise all data in columns, one column is the stem and a second column is the leaf, but in this case, stems are going to be the digits to the left of the decimal point, and leafs are the digits to the right of the decimal point:

<u>Stem</u>            <u> Leaf </u>

0             2 2 2 3 3 4 5 7

1              0 2 3 5 5 8

2             0 3 5

3             0 3

4             0 5 7

5             0 5 6 9

6             0 0 0 5

(b) Relative frequency distribution.

Remember that, a relative frequency is calculated dividing the absolute frequency by the total data, in this case, we approximated to the hundredth.

Total                          30                                          

(c)

To calculate the sample mean we need to sum all number, which results: 83.9. Then, we divide this result to the total 30, which result: 2.80.

The sample range is the difference between the highest and the lowest value: 6.5 - 0.2 = 6.3.

The sample standard deviation is calculated trough the following process:

Step 1: Subtract the mean from each number.

Step 2: Square each result.

Step 3: Add the squared deviations.

Step 4: Divide the sum by one less the total.

Step 5: Take the square root, and there you have it.

Doing this steps, the result is 2.22.

This last process is attached:

Two window washers start at the heights shown. (A: 21 ft high rising 8 in per second. The other is 50 feet high descending 11inc
babunello [35]

For this case, the first thing we are going to do is write the generic equation of motion for the vertical axis.

We have then:

h = \frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 + vo * t + h0

Where,

  • <em>g: acceleration of gravity </em>
  • <em>vo: initial speed </em>
  • <em>h0: initial height </em>

For the first body:

h1 = \frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 + \frac {8} {12} * t + 21

For the second body:

h2 = \frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 - \frac {11} {12} * t + 50

By the time both bodies have the same height we have:

h1 = h2\\

\frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 + \frac {8} {12} * t + 21 = \frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 - \frac {11} {12} * t + 50

Rewriting we have:

\frac {8} {12} * t + 21 = - \frac {11} {12} * t + 50

\frac {8} {12} * t + \frac {11} {12} * t = 50 - 21

\frac {19} {12} * t = 29

Clearing time:

t = 29 (\frac {12} {19})\\t = 18.31s

Answer:

 it takes 18.31s for the two window washers to reach the same height

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula that relates the length of a ladder, L, that leans against a wall with distance d from the base of the wall and the height h that the ladder reaches up the wall is L = StartRoot d squared + h squared EndRoot. What height on the wall will a 15-foot ladder reach if it is placed 3.5 feet from the base of a wall?

L = √d² + h²
