Answer:

The cart’s speed in miles per hour is 14.2 miles per hour .

Option (B) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Rob measures his go-cart’s speed to be 250 inches per second.

As

$1\ inch = \frac{1}{63360}\ miles$

$1\ second = \frac{1}{3600}\ hours$

Now convert 250 inches per second into miles per hour .

$250 inches\ per\ second = \frac{250\times \frac{1}{63360}}{\frac{1}{3600}}\ miles\ per\ hour$

$250 inches\ per\ second = \frac{\frac{250}{63360}}{\frac{1}{3600}}\ miles\ per\ hour$

$250 inches\ per\ second = \frac{250\times 3600}{63360}\ miles\ per\ hour$

$250 inches\ per\ second = \frac{900000}{63360}\ miles\ per\ hour$

250 inches per second = 14.2(Approx) miles per hour.

Therefore the cart’s speed in miles per hour is 14.2 miles per hour .

Option (B) is correct .

On a piece of paper, graph y< x-3. Then determine which answer matches<br> the graph you drew

Aneli [31]

Answer:

The graph is shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The inequality of a line to graph is given as:

$y$

In order to graph it, we first make the 'inequality' sign to 'equal to' sign. This gives,

$y=x-3$

Now, we plot this line on a graph. The given line is of the form:

$y=mx+b$ Where, 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept.

So, for the line $y=x-3$ , $m=1,b=-3$

The y-intercept is at (0, -3).

In order to draw the line correctly we find another point. Let the 'y' value be 0.

Now, $0=x-3\\x=3$

So, the point is (3, 0).

Now, we mark these points and draw a line passing through these two points.

Now, consider the line inequality $y$ . The 'y' value is less than $x-3$ . So, the solution region will be region below the line and excluding all the points on the line. So, we draw a broken line and shade the region below it.

The graph is shown below.

In triangle XYZ, if angle X is congruent to angle Z, XY = 13x - 21, YZ = 8x - 6, & XZ = x + 4, find x & the measure of e

Naily [24]

Answer:

Given: In triangle XYZ, $\angle X \cong \angle Z$ , XY=13x-21 , YZ=8x-6 and XZ=x+4.

If two angles are congruent if and only if, they measure the same number of degrees.

therefore, from the given condition; $\angle X = \angle Z$ .

Isosceles Triangle : An triangle with two equal sides. The angles opposite the equal sides are also equal.

Therefore, the triangle XYZ is an isosceles triangle, as the base angle $\angle X$ and $\angle Z$ are equal and the sides opposite to these angles are also equal i.e, XY=YZ.

Since, we have XY=YZ ,

⇒ 13x-21 =8x-6 or

13x-8x=21-6 or

5x=15

Simplify:

x=3

Therefore, the sides of an isosceles triangle are:

XY = 13x-21 = $13\cdot 3 -21$ = 39-21 = 18 unit ,

YZ = 8x-6 = $8 \cdot3 -4$ = 24-6 =18 unit,

and XZ = x+4 = 3+4 =7 unit.

Since, the triangle is isosceles, we draw a line from an vertex angle Y of a triangle XYZ which is perpendicular (i.e, of 90 degree angle) to opposite side meets the opposite side at its midpoint i.e, say W.

As W is the midpoint(i.e, it divide the sides into two equal halves),

XW=WZ = $\frac{7}{2} =3.5$ unit

Now, use the Pythagorean theorem, to find the altitude WY.

⇒ $(WY)^2+(WZ)^2=(YZ)^2$

Substitute the value of WZ = 3.5 unit and YZ = 18 unit in above formula to calculate the length of WY;

⇒ $(WY)^2+(3.5)^2=(18)^2$

Simplify:

$(WY)^2=324-12.25=311.75$ or

$WY=\sqrt{311.75}$

On simplify we get;

WY=17.65 unit(approx.)

The vertex angle Y is split into two equal angles, we can find the vertex angle by finding the one of the base angle by using the fact; $Cosine = \frac{Base}{Hypotenuse}$ .

⇒ $\cos Z =\frac{3.5}{18}$

⇒ $\cos Z = 0.195$ (approx) or

$Z=\cos^{-1}(0.195)$

Therefore, the angle $\angle Z = 78.7^{\circ}$ .

The sum of the measure of the angle in the triangle is 180 degree.

In triangle XYZ.

$\angle X +\angle Y+\angle Z =180^{\circ}$

Since $\angle X=\angle Z =78.7^{\circ}$

then,

$78.7^{\circ}+\angle Y+78.7^{\circ}=180^{\circ}$

⇒ $157.4^{\circ}+\angle Y=180^{\circ}$

Simplify:

$\angle Y=22.6^{\circ}$ .

Therefore, the measure of each angle are: $\angle X=\angle Z=78.7^{\circ}$ and $\angle Y =22.6^{\circ}$

Mkey [24]

Answer: The lower bound of confidence interval would be 0.116.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

p = 13.2%= 0.132

n = 1105

At 90% confidence,

z = 1.645

So, Margin of error would be

$z\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}\\\\=1.645\times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.132\times 0.868}{1152}}}\\\\=0.0164$

So, the lower bound of the confidence interval would be

$p-\text{margin of error}\\\\=0.132-0.0164\\\\=0.116$

Hence, the lower bound of confidence interval would be 0.116.
