Let x = the # jujubes Sam had
he gave x/2 to jen
jen eats half of it  =    1/2(x/2) =    x/4
the remaining  x/4 he gave to kyle
kyle kept 8 and gave 10 to Kim
so
             x/4 - 8 = 10
             x/4 = 18
             x =72
thus    jen had 36 jujubes
jen eat    18  jujubes

What is the value of x? Enter your answer, as a decimal, in the box. x= A right triangle with vertices labeled as A, B, and C. S
____ [38]

x=3.95

Explanation

From the given information we find that the triangle is right angled at C. CB is the base,AC is the height and AB is the hypotenuse.

Given that D is the hypotenuse of the hypotenuse AB.

BC=6

BD=4.2

AD=x

the height and the base of the triangle is given.

Using pythagoras theorem, we can find the hypotenuse AB.

AB=\sqrt{AC^2+CB^2} \\=\sqrt{5^2+6^2} \\=\sqrt{25+36} \\=\sqrt{61} \\

D is the midpoint of AB

therefore AD=AB/2=\sqrt{61}/2

=3.905

x=3.905 cm

Let P2 be the vector space of all polynomials of degree 2 or less, and let H be the subspace spanned by 10x2+4xâ1, 3xâ4x2+3, and
lord [1]

I suppose

H=\mathrm{span}\{10x^2+4x-1,3x-4x^2+3,5x^2+x-1\}

The vectors that span H form a basis for P_2 if they are (1) linearly independent and (2) any vector in P_2 can be expressed as a linear combination of those vectors (i.e. they span P_2).

  • Independence:

Compute the Wronskian determinant:

\begin{vmatrix}10x^2+4x-1&3x-4x^2+3&5x^2+x-1\\20x+4&3-8x&10x+1\\20&-8&10\end{vmatrix}=-6\neq0

The determinant is non-zero, so the vectors are linearly independent. For this reason, we also know the dimension of H is 3.

  • Span:

Write an arbitrary vector in P_2 as ax^2+bx+c. Then the given vectors span P_2 if there is always a choice of scalars k_1,k_2,k_3 such that

k_1(10x^2+4x-1)+k_2(3x-4x^2+3)+k_3(5x^2+x-1)=ax^2+bx+c

which is equivalent to the system

\begin{bmatrix}10&-4&5\\4&3&1\\-1&3&-1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}k_1\\k_2\\k_3\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}a\\b\\c\end{bmatrix}

The coefficient matrix is non-singular, so it has an inverse. Multiplying both sides by that inverse gives

\begin{bmatrix}k_1\\k_2\\k_3\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-\dfrac{6a-11b+19c}3\\\dfrac{3a-5b+2c}3\\\dfrac{15a-26b+46c}3\end{bmatrix}

so the vectors do span P_2.

The vectors comprising H form a basis for it because they are linearly independent.

The triangles in the diagram are congruent. If mF = 40°, mA = 80°, and mG = 60°, what is mB?
maria [59]

Answer:

The answer is 40 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two triangles are congruent, which means they are the same shape and size, they share the same angle measures. Since angle B is the same as angle F, it equals 40 degrees.


I hope this helped! :-)

V125BC [204]

Answer:

The probability that all three have type B​+ blood is 0.001728

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have type B+ blood, or they do not. The probability of a person having type B+ blood is independent of any other person. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

The probability that a person in the United States has type B​+ blood is 12​%.

This means that p = 0.12

Three unrelated people in the United States are selected at random.

This means that n = 3

Find the probability that all three have type B​+ blood.

This is P(X = 3).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.12)^{3}.(0.88)^{0} = 0.001728

The probability that all three have type B​+ blood is 0.001728
