If ray NP bisects <MNQ, m<MNQ=(8x+12)°, m<PNQ=78°, and m<RNM=(3y-9)°, find the value of x and y

Answers

Step 1

Find the measure of angle x

we know that

If ray NP bisects <MNQ

then

m<MNQ=m<PNM+m<PNQ ------> equation A

and

m<PNM=m<PNQ -------> equation B

we have that

m<MNQ=(8x+12)°

m<PNQ=78°

so

substitute in equation A

(8x+12)=78+78-------> 8x+12=156------> 8x=156-12

8x=144------> x=18°

Step 2

Find the measure of angle y

we have

m<PNM=(3y-9)°

m<PNM=78°

so

3y-9=78------> 3y=87------> y=29°

therefore

the answer is

the measure of x is 18° and the measure of y is 29°


Answer: If NP bisects MNQ, MNQ=8x+12,PNQ=78, and RNM=3y-9, find the values of x and y

x= 18 y=11

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that MNQ= 8x+12

PNQ=78 and MNP is equal to PNQ

Therefore, PNQ=MNP

So since these two angles make up MNQ,

Add 78+78 which is 156

So now we need to find x

The equation to find x is 8x+12=156

8x+12=156

8x=144

x=18

Now that we know x it is time to find y.

So we know that RNM=3y-9

And we know that MNQ is equal to 156

RNM an MNQ form a straight line which means that it is equal to 180 degrees

So the equation to find y is 3y-9+156=180

3y-9+156=180

3y+147=180

3y=33

y=11

So in conclusion, x=18 and y=11

differentiate f(x)=x^2sin(x)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle \large{f\prime(x) = 2x \sin (x) + x^2 \cos (x)}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a function:

[tex]\displaystyle \large{f(x) = x^2 \sin (x)}[/tex]

Notice that there are two functions multiplying each other. Recall the product rules.

[tex]\displaystyle \large{y=h(x)g(x) \to y\prime = h\prime (x) g(x) + h(x)g\prime (x)}[/tex]

You can let x^2 = h(x), sin(x) = g(x) or sin(x) = h(x), x^2 = g(x) as your desire but I’ll let h(x) = x^2 and g(x) = sin(x).

Therefore, from a function:

[tex]\displaystyle \large{f(x) = x^2 \sin (x) \to f\prime (x) = (x^2)\prime \sin(x) + x^2 (\sin (x))\prime}[/tex]

Recall the power rules and differentiation of sine.

[tex]\displaystyle \large{y = ax^n \to y\prime = nax^{n-1} \ \ \ \tt{for \ \ polynomial \ \ function}}\\ \displaystyle \large{y = \sin (x) \to y\prime = \cos (x) }[/tex]

Therefore, from differentiating function,

[tex]\displaystyle \large{f\prime(x) = 2x \sin (x) + x^2 \cos (x)}[/tex]

And we are done!

Answer:

[tex]g(x)=x^2-4x-8[/tex]

we have to find the value of (f+g)(x)

As we know

[tex](f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)=(2x-5)+(x^2-4x-8)[/tex]

[tex]=2x-5+x^2-4x-8[/tex]

[tex]=x^2+2x-4x-5-8=x^2-2x-13[/tex]

Answers

The law of large numbers in probability, is a theorem that describes the result of performing the same experiment a large number of times because the average of the results obtained from a large number of trials is close enough to the expected value.

So, according to this definition and the situation given , the correct answer is option B - if 800 people are randomly surveyed about the TV shows they watch, about 400 of them will be women; because there are larger number of experiment.

Part B:

To get the expected value of a t-shirt we will multiply each of the 3 prices by the associated probability, and then add up these three products-

[tex](24\times\frac{1}{6})+(30\times\frac{1}{2})+(36\times\frac{1}{3})[/tex]

A recent poll of employees working for a national fast-food chain claims that 58% of its employees eat at the fast-food chain. A sample of 200 people shows that only 42% of the employees eat at the fast-food chain.

To determine whether this sample supports the population proportion of 0.58, a simulation of 200 trials is run, each with a sample size of 50 and a point estimate of 0.42. The minimum sample proportion from the simulation is 0.31, and the maximum sample proportion from the simulation is 0.53.

What is the margin of error of the population proportion using half the range?




±0.07

±0.11

±0.21

Answers

Answer:

Option B 0.11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that  the population proportion of 0.58, a simulation of 200 trials is run, each with a sample size of 50 and a point estimate of 0.42. The minimum sample proportion from the simulation is 0.31, and the maximum sample proportion from the simulation is 0.53.

This gives an idea that confidence interval is

(0.31, 0.53) with mean being in the middle of this interval

Margin of error = 1/2 (length of this interval)

Length of confidence interval =[tex]0.53-0.31 =0.22[/tex]

Margin of error =± 1/2(0.22) = ±0.11

Hence option B is correct

Final answer:

To solve the equation 7(2e-1)-11=6+6e for e, distribute, combine like terms, subtract, add, and divide until you have isolated e. The solution is e=3.

Explanation:

To solve for e in the equation 7(2e-1)-11=6+6e, first distribute the 7 on the left side of the equation:

14e - 7 - 11 = 6 + 6e

Now, combine like terms on both sides:

14e - 18 = 6 + 6e

Next, subtract 6e from both sides:

8e - 18 = 6

Add 18 to both sides:

8e = 24

Today the ratio of elinor's age is 3:8 to his mother after 15 years ,the ratio will become 6:11. Find elinor's age today and find her mothers age after 15 years.

Answers

Given

ratio of elinor's age to his mother is 3 : 8

after 15 years

 the ratio will become 6:11

Find out the  elinor's age today and find her mothers age after 15 years.

To proof

As given in the question

ratio of elinor's age to his mother is 3 : 8

let x be the variable describe age.

let the elinor age = 3x

let the mother age = 8x

after 15 years

ratio will become 6:11

[tex]\frac{elinor\ age + 15 }{Mother\ age + 15 } = \frac{6}{11}[/tex]

As assume ealier elinor age be 3x and mother age be 8x

put this in the above equation

we get

[tex]\frac{3x + 15 }{8x + 15 } = \frac{6}{11}[/tex]

now sloving the above equation

we get

11 ( 3x + 15) = 6 ( 8x + 15 )

33x + 165 = 48x + 90

75 = 15x

[tex]x = \frac{75}{15}[/tex]

x = 5

Therefore

elinor's age today = 3x

                              = 3 × 5

                              = 15years

mothers age after 15 years = 8x + 15

                                              = 8× 5 + 15

                                              = 40 + 15

                                              = 55years

Hence proved

 

Final answer:

The problem is about solving a system of equations established from the given ratios of Elinor's and her mother's ages. Substitution method is used to find their present ages, and to find mother's age after 15 years, we add 15 to her current age.

Explanation:

This is a problem related to ratios and ages, which can be solved as an algebraic system of equations. Let's denote Elinor's present age as 'e' and her mother's age as 'm'. Then, from the problem we know that:

e/m = 3/8 (1), and

(e+15)/(m+15) = 6/11 (2).

From equation (1), we can express e as (3/8)m. We then substitute e in equation (2) to find the value of 'm'. Once we have 'm', we substitute its value in equation (1) to get 'e'. And to find her mother's age after 15 years, we add 15 to 'm'.

Solve the equation. Check for extraneous solutions.

9|9 – 8x| = 2x + 3

Answers

To solve an absolute value equation of the form |X| = k, where X is an expression with a variable and k is a non-negative number or an expression, you must solve the compound equation X = k or X = -k.

The first step is to divide both sides by 9 to get the absolute value of an expression equal to a non-negative number.

9|9 – 8x| = 2x + 3

Divide both sides by 9.

[tex] |9 - 8x| = \dfrac{2x + 3}{9} [/tex]

Now we eliminate the absolute value by rewriting this as a compound equation.

[tex] 9 - 8x = \dfrac{2x + 3}{9} ~~~or~~~ 9 - 8x = -\dfrac{2x + 3}{9} [/tex]

We must solve both equations.

Multiply both sides by 9.

[tex] 9(9 - 8x) = 2x + 3 ~~~or~~~ 9(9 - 8x) = -(2x + 3) [/tex]

[tex] 81 - 72x = 2x + 3 ~~~or~~~ 81 - 72x = -2x - 3 [/tex]

[tex] -74x = -78 ~~~or~~~ -70x = -84 [/tex]

[tex] x = \dfrac{-78}{-74} ~~~or~~~ x = \dfrac{-84}{-70} [/tex]

[tex] x = \dfrac{39}{37} ~~~or~~~ x = \dfrac{6}{5} [/tex]

Answer: x = 39/37 or x = 6/5

To check for extraneous solutions, we plug in each solution into the original equation and check if it works.

Check 39/37:

9|9 – 8(39/37)| = 2(39/37) + 3

|81 - 72(39/37)| = 78/37 + 3

|2997/37 - 2808/37| = 78/37 + 111/37

|189/37| = 189/37

189/37 = 189/37

The solution 39/37 is valid.

Check x = 6/5.

9|9 – 8x| = 2x + 3

9|9 – 8(6/5)| = 2(6/5) + 3

|81 - 72(6/5)| = 12/5 + 15/5

|405/5 - 432/5| = 27/5

|-27/5| = 27/5

27/5 = 27/5

The solution x = 6/5 is also valid.

There are no extraneous solutions.

Read the passage from the opinion of the court in Brown v. Board of Education, written by Justice Warren. In the instant cases, that question is directly presented. . . . There are findings below that the Negro and white schools involved have been equalized, or are being equalized, with respect to buildings, curricula, qualifications and salaries of teachers, and other "tangible" factors. Our decision, therefore, cannot turn on merely a comparison of these tangible factors in the Negro and white schools involved in each of the cases. We must look instead to the effect of segregation itself on public education. . . . Today, education is perhaps the most important function of state and local governments. Compulsory school attendance laws and the great expenditures for education both demonstrate our recognition of the importance of education to our democratic society. It is required in the performance of our most basic public responsibilities, even service in the armed forces. It is the very foundation of good citizenship. Today it is a principal instrument in awakening the child to cultural values, in preparing him for later professional training, and in helping him to adjust normally to his environment. In these days, it is doubtful that any child may reasonably be expected to succeed in life if he is denied the opportunity of an education. Such an opportunity, where the state has undertaken to provide it, is a right which must be made available to all on equal terms. We come then to the question presented: Does segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race, even though the physical facilities and other "tangible" factors may be equal, deprive the children of the minority group of equal educational opportunities? We believe that it does. . . . To separate them from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone. What reason does Warren give for making the claim that comparing "tangible factors is not enough to evaluate segregation? A. Educational and physical facilities themselves are not actually equal. B. The state has promised to provide equal educational opportunities. C. Age and qualifications in public schools are a more reliable factor to examine. D. The real impact of racial segregation is emotional damage to minority students.
