Let

x--------> original length side of a square


we know that

area rectangle=length*width

area=126 in²

length=(x+8)

width=(x-3)

so

126=(x+8)*(x-3)------> x²-3x+8x-24=126----> x²+5x-150=0


using  a graph tool------> to resolve the second order equation

see the attached figure

the solution is

x=10 in


the answer is

the original length side of a square is 10 in

A factory received a shipment of 38 sprockets, and the vendor who sold the items knows there are 5 sprockets in the shipment tha
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

a) 0.00019923%

b) 47.28%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To find the probability of all sockets in the sample being defective, we can do the following:

The first socket will be in a group where 5 of the 38 sockets are defective, so the probability is 5/38

The second socket will be in a group where 4 of the 37 sockets are defective, as the first one picked is already defective, so the probability is 4/37

Expanding this, we have that the probability of having all 5 sockets defective is: (5/38)*(4/37)*(3/36)*(2/35)*(1/34) = 0.0000019923 = 0.00019923%

b) Following the same logic of (a), the first socket have a chance of 33/38 of not being defective, as we will pick it from a group where 33 of the 38 sockets are not defective. The second socket will have a chance of 32/37, and so on.

The probability will be (33/38)*(32/37)*(31/36)*(30/35)*(29/34) = 0.4728 = 47.28%

Translate triangle a by vector (-3/1)to give triangle b. Then rotate your triangle b 180 degrees around the origin to give trian
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Rotation of triangle A across a point (1.5, -0.5) by 180°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Translation of a figure about a vector \binom{-3}{1} means translation of a figure by 3 units to the left on x-axis and 1 unit in the positive direction of the y-axis.

Rule for the translation will be,

(x, y) → [(x - 3), (y + 1)]

From the figure attached,

Vertices of the triangle A are A(1, -1), B(1, -4) and C(3, -4)

After translation new image points will be A'(-2, 0), B'(-2, -3), C'(0, -3).

After rotation of these image points 180° about the origin will be,

Rule for the rotation,

(x, y) → (-x, -y)

A'(-2, 0) → A"(2, 0)

B'(-2, -3) → B"(2, 3)

C'(0, -3) → C"(0, 3)

Therefore, A(1, -1) → A"(2, 0) is the single transformation.

Rule for this transformation which maps triangle C to A will be defined by,

Rotation of triangle A across a point (1.5, -0.5) by 180°.
