Can anyone please help me with this question? : A target consists of two concentric circles. The larger circle has diameter 1m.

When a complete novice fires at the target, the probability of hitting the blue circle is the same as the probability of hitting the green region. Find the diameter of the blue circle.

We know that
if  <span>the probability of hitting the blue circle is the same as the probability of hitting the green region
then 
the area of the blue circle is equal to the area of the green region

Let
x----> diameter of the blue circle

area of the blue circle=pi*(x/2)</span>²----> (pi/4)*x² m²-----> equation 1

area of the green region=area of the larger circle-area of the blue circle
area of the green region=pi*(1/2)²-(pi/4)*x²
=(pi/4)-(pi/4)*x² m²----> equation 2

equate equation 1 and equation 2
(pi/4)*x²=(pi/4)-(pi/4)*x² -----> divide by (pi/4)---> x²=1-x²
2x²=1-----> x²=1/2----> x=1/√2-----> x=√2/2 m

the diameter of the blue circle is √2/2 m

Help please.<br><br> Find x.
Degger [83]
You have to use the Geometric Mean for triangles to find x.  Our form will look like this: \frac{2}{x} = \frac{x}{6+2} which simplifies to \frac{2}{x} = \frac{x}{8}.  Cross multiply to get x^{2} =16.  Therfore, x = 4.  Usually when we take the square root of a number we will end up with both the principle (positive) root and the negative one as well.  But since the 2 things in math that will never EVER be negative are time and distance/length, we will not consider the -4.  x = 4

If f(x)=x2+10sinx, show that there is a number c such that f(c)=1000.
gayaneshka [121]
F(x) is continuous for all x.

Pick a point and show that f(x) is either negative or positive. Pick another point and show that f(x) is negative, if positive, or positive, if negative.

At x = 30, f(30) - 1000 = 900 + 10sin(30) - 1000 ≤ 0
Now, show at another point f(x) - 1000 is positive, and hence, there would be root between 30 and such point.

Let's pick 40.
At x = 40, f(40) - 1000 = 1600 + 10sin(40) - 1000 ≥ 0

Since f(x) - 1000 is continuous, there lies a root between 30 and 40, and hence, 30 ≤ c ≤ 40

1. What is m∠CAD?
bulgar [2K]
< CAD = 100....if u add < ACB + < CBA u get < CAD
================
< DAB = 125 and < ACB = 30

if DAB = 125.....then BAC = 180 - 125 = 55
and all 3 interior angles of a triangle = 180
< BAC + < ACB + < ABC = 180
55 + 30 + < ABC = 180
85 + < ABC = 180
< ABC = 180 - 85
< ABC = 95 <===

The following table shows the number of hours a cleaning company spends cleaning apartments.
mart [117]
First, plot the points in a graph to see the general trend. The independent variable is time. I used MS Excel to plot the points in a graph, as shown in the attached picture.

1. The relationship is linear as shown in the general trend.
2. The relationship presents that as time increases, the number of apartments cleaned also increases. The two variables are directly proportional.
3. The rate of change represents the slope of the line. Choose any two points and find the slope. 

m = (6-3)/(2-1) = 3 apartments cleaned/hour
