Aaron paid $18.20 for the pencils because he bought 13 markers ($9.75/.75) and bought 4 times as many pencils so he bought 52 pencils (13 times 4) and each pencil cost .35 so divide 52 by .35 you get $18.20

Triangle R T S is sitting on a horizontal line. Line S R extends through point Q to form exterior angle T R Q. Angle R T S is (2

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The value of x is 3 ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>An exterior angle</em></u> is the angle between one side of a triangle and the

extension of an adjacent side

<u><em>The measure of an exterior angle at any vertex of a triangle equal the </em></u>

<u><em>sum of the measures of the two opposite interior angles</em></u>

- Triangle R T S is sitting on a horizontal line

- Line S R extends through point Q to form exterior angle T R Q

- m∠RTS is (25 x)°, m∠TSR is (57 + x)° , m∠TRQ is (45 x)°

* Lets find the value of x

∵ ∠TRQ is an exterior angle of Δ RTS at the vertex R

∵ The opposite interior angles to vertex R are ∠RTS and ∠TSR

∴ m∠TRQ = m∠RTS + m∠TSR ⇒ <u><em>as the rule above</em></u>

∵ m∠TRQ = (45 x)°

∵ m∠RTS = (25 x)°

∵ m∠TSR = (57 + x)°

Substitute these measures in the equation above

∴ 45 x = 25 x + 57 + x

∴ 45 x = 26 x + 57

Subtract 26 x from both sides

∴ 19 x = 57

Divide both sides by 19

∴ x = 3

* The value of x is 3

If a hurricane was headed your way, would you evacuate? The headline of a press release states, "Thirty-four Percent of People o

IgorC [24]

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval would be given by (0.326;0.354)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

$X=63$ number of people who live within 20 miles of the coast in high hurricane risk counties of eight southern states

$n=6138$ random sample taken

$\hat p=0.34$ estimated proportion of people who live within 20 miles of the coast in high hurricane risk counties of eight southern states

$p$ true population proportion of people who live within 20 miles of the coast in high hurricane risk counties of eight southern states

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

2) Confidence interval

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 98% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.98=0.02$ and $\alpha/2 =0.01$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-2.33, z_{1-\alpha/2}=2.33$

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$

If we replace the values obtained we got:

$0.34 - 2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.34(1-0.34)}{6138}}=0.326$

$0.34 + 2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.34(1-0.34)}{6138}}=0.354$

The 98% confidence interval would be given by (0.326;0.354)

Colton has a stone paperweight composed of a triangular pyramid on top of a triangular prism with the dimensions shown below. Us

Eva8 [605]

The area of the base would be found using the area of a triangle formula which is 1/2 x base x height.

The base and height are the two sides perpendicular to each other, which are both 5 inches.

The area of the base = 1/2 x 5 x 5 = 12.5 square inches.

The volume of the triangular prism is the area of the base times the height, which is 4 inches.

Volume of the triangular prism is 12.5 x 4 = 50 cubic inches.

Volume of the triangular prism is 1/3 x area of base x height, which is 7:

Volume of the triangular prism = 1/3 x 12.5 x 7 = 29.17 cubic inches.

Total volume = 29.17 + 50 = 79.17 cubic inches.

Suppose the graph of a cubic polynomial function has the same zeroes and passes through the coordinate (0, -5). Write the equati

amid [387]

In this we know all three zeros and one point from which the graph pass.
So we will let specific cubic polynomial function of the form
$f(x) = a(x - x_1)(x-x_2)(x-x_3)$

As we know zeros are that point where we will get value of function equal to zero. So it is basically in form $(x_n , 0)$

SO in given question zeros are (2 , 0) , (3, 0) and (5,0)
So we can say $x_1 = 2 , x_2 = 3 , x_3 = 5$

So required equation is
$f(x) = a (x-2)(x-3)(x-5)$
              $= a[(x^2 - 2x - 3x + 6)(x-5)]$
              $= a[(x^2 - 5x+6)(x-5)]$
              $= a(x^3 - 5x^2 + 6x- 5x^2 + 25x - 30)$
              $= a(x^3 - 10x^2+31x-30)$
Now we have one point (0 , -5) from which graph passes.
So we say at x = 0 , f(x) = -5
$-5= a (0-0+0 - 30)$
$-5 = -30a$
$a = \frac{-5}{-30} = \frac{1}{6}$
So required equation of cubic polynomial is
$f(x) = \frac{1}{6}(x^3 -10x^2+31x-30)$

For finding y - intercept we simply plugin x = 0 in given equation.
As we know at x = 0 , value of function is -5.
So y - intercept is -5.
