Answer:

16.065

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find 10 percent of 17.85 by dividing 17.85 by 10

10 / 17.85 = 1.785

then you subtract 1.785 by 17.85 to get the original price

Let the letter o represent the original price.

17.85 = o + (o*1.10)
17.85 = 2.10 * o
o = 17.85/2.10=8.5
The original price was $8.50

Given circle X with radius 10 units and chord AB with length 12 units, what is the length of segment CX, which bisects the chord

andrew-mc [135]

Consider the circle with center X, as shown in the figure.

Draw the diameter of the circle which is parallel to cherd AB, as shown in the figure.

Since the diameter and AB are parallel, then the line segment XC which bisects AB at C, will be perpendicular to AB.

SO triangle XCB is a right triangle. Thus the length of CX, by the Pythagorean theorem is

$\sqrt{ XB^{2}- CB^{2}} = \sqrt{ 10^{2}- CB^{6}}= \sqrt{100-36}= \sqrt{64}=8$ units.

Answer: 8 units

A company wants to establish that the mean life of its batteries, when used in a wireless mouse, is over 183 days. The data will

enyata [817]

Answer:

a) Null and alternative hypotheses are:

$H_{0}$ : mu=183 days

$H_{a}$ : mu>183 days

b) If the true mean is 190 days, Type II error can be made.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let mu be the mean life of the batteries of the company when it is used in a wireless mouse

Null and alternative hypotheses are:

$H_{0}$ : mu=183 days

$H_{a}$ : mu>183 days

Type II error happens if we fail to reject the null hypothesis, when actually the alternative hypothesis is true.

That is if we conclude that mean life of the batteries of the company when it is used in a wireless mouse is at most 183 days, but actually mean life is 190 hours, we make a Type II error.

Which expression is equivalent to StartFraction (3 m Superscript negative 2 Baseline n) Superscript negative 3 Baseline Over 6 m

Dovator [93]

Option a: $\frac{m^{5} }{162n}$ is the equivalent expression.

Explanation:

The expression is $\frac{(3m^{-2} n)^{-3}}{6mn^{-2} }$ where $m\neq 0, n\neq 0$

Let us simplify the expression, to determine which expression is equivalent from the four options.

Multiplying the powers, we get,

$\frac{3^{-3}m^{6} n^{-3}}{6mn^{-2} }$

Cancelling the like terms, we have,

$\frac{3^{-3}m^{5} n^{-1}}{6 }$

This equation can also be written as,

$\frac{m^{5}}{3^{3}6 n^{1} }$

Multiplying the terms in denominator, we have,

$\frac{m^{5} }{162n}$

Thus, the expression which is equivalent to $\frac{(3m^{-2} n)^{-3}}{6mn^{-2} }$ is $\frac{m^{5} }{162n}$

Hence, Option a is the correct answer.

Which function has the domain x>or= -11

iogann1982 [59]

I'm assuming this is multiple choice and you forgot to post the answers. I'll take a guess and say it probably looks something like this:
$y = \sqrt{x + 11}$
Because you can't take the square root of a negative number without getting an imaginary result, resulting in the function having a closed domain limit.
