The statement given in the question is “Half of the tigers at the zoo eat raw meat at its noontime meal.”

The options are:

A) Correct as written

B) Incorrect because it doesn’t agree in number

C) Incorrect because it doesn’t agree in person

D) Incorrect because it doesn’t agree in gender

The pronoun here is "its". The pronoun usage here should refer to the tigers being talked about. "Its" indicates that the subject is singular and not plural. Whereas we know that "half of the tigers" are plural. Hence, the statement is incorrectly written as pronoun-antecedent doesn't agree in number.

Note that the gender of the tiger is unknown so usage of its is correct.

The correct answer is: B) Incorrect because it doesn’t agree in number

What is the difference between factoring and solving ?

trapecia [35]

Answer:

Factoring is a step taken towards solving a quadratic equation. ... You cannot factor them, the only way to find the roots then, is by using the quadratic formula. Suppose you factor the quadratic polynomial as and . Then set them equal to zero and solve for , you will have

Step-by-step explanation.

Example 1 – Solve: x2 + 16 = 10x

Step 1: Write the equation in the correct form. In this case, we need to set the equation equal to zero with the terms written in descending order.

Step 2: Use a factoring strategies to factor the problem.

Step 3: Use the Zero Product Property and set each factor containing a variable equal to zero.

Step 4: Solve each factor that was set equal to zero by getting the x on one side and the answer on the other side.

Based on a study from the Chronicles of Flippin'' Awesomeness, the probability that Napoleon and Pedro make it to their first pe

muminat

Answer:

15.25% probability that Napoleon and Pedro catch the bus and make it to their first period class on time

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

$P(A \cap B)$ is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this problem, we have that:

Event A: Both Napoleon and Pedro catch the bus, so P(A) = 0.25.

Event B: Making to their first period class on time.

However, the probability that they make it to their first period class on time, given that they catch the bus is 0.61.

This means that $P(B|A) = 0.61$

What is the probability that Napoleon and Pedro catch the bus and make it to their first period class on time

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$

$0.61 = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{0.25}$

$P(A \cap B) = 0.61*0.25$

$P(A \cap B) = 0.1525$

15.25% probability that Napoleon and Pedro catch the bus and make it to their first period class on time

A person is standing 50 ft from a statue. The person looks up at an angle of elevation of 8o when staring at the top of the stat

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

$h=50.25\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Right Triangles </u>

In a right triangle, one of the internal angles is 90°. When this happens, there is always a longer side, called hypotenuse and two shorter sides, called legs. They relate to Pythagoras's theorem. The basic trigonometric relations also stand, including

$\displaystyle tan\alpha=\frac{a}{c}$

where a is the opposite leg to $\alpha$ and c is its adjacent led .

In our problem, we have a statue being looked by a person in such a way that the top of the statue forms an angle of 8° with the horizontal and the base of the statue forms an angle of 14° down. We also know the distance from the person to the statue is 50 ft. The situation is shown in the image below.

The height of the statue is h=a+b, where

$a=50tan8^o$

$b=50tan14^o$

Thus

$h=50tan8^o+50tan14^o$

$h=50(tan8^o+tan14^o)$

$\boxed{h=50.25\ ft}$

The width of a triangle is six more than twice the height. The area of the triangle is 88in2. Find the height and base of the tr

malfutka [58]

For this case we have that by definition, the area of a triangle is given by:

$A = \frac {b * h} {2}$

Where:

b: It is the base of the triangle

h: It is the height of the triangle

According to the statement data we have:

$b = 6 + 2h$

Substituting we have:

$88 = \frac {(6 + 2h) * h} {2}\\176 = 6h + 2h ^ 2\\2h ^ 2 + 6h-176 = 0$

We divide between 2 on both sides:

$h ^ 2 + 3h-88 = 0$

We factor by looking for two numbers that, when multiplied, are obtained -88 and when added together, +3 is obtained.

These numbers are +11 and -8.

$(h + 11) (h-8) = 0$

We have two roots:

$h = -11\\h = 8$

We choose the positive value.

Thus, the base of the triangle is: $b = 6 + 2 (8) = 22$

Answer:

The base of the triangle is 22 units.
