a line passeses through the ponts (2, a) and (4a,5) and has a slope of 1/2 find the value of a

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is found by (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Using the points, that is (5-a)/(4a-2) = 1/2

multiply both sides by the denominator 4a-2

5-a = (1/2)(4a-2)

5-a=2a-1

put like terms on opposite sides by adding a to both sides so a terms on the right, adding 1 on both sides so numbers are on the left

6=3a

divide both sides by 3

a=2

For Triangle 1

a. Hypothenus = 4

b. Adjacent = 2√3

For Triangle 2:

a. Hypothenus = 2√2

b. Adjacent = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

For Triangle 1

NOTE: We shall be using angle 30°.

a. Determination of the Hypothenus.

Opposite = 2

Angle (θ) = 30°

Hypothenus =?

Sine θ = Opposite /Hypothenus

Sine 30 = 2 / Hypo

0.5 = 2 / Hypo

Cross multiply

0.5 × Hypo = 2

Divide both side by 0.5

Hypo = 2 / 0.5

Hypothenus = 4

b. Determination of the Adjacent

NOTE: We shall be using angle 30°.

Opposite = 2

Angle (θ) = 30°

Adjacent =?

Tan θ = Opposite / Adjacent

Tan 30 = 2 / Adj

1 / √3 = 2 / Adj

Cross multiply

1 × Adj = 2 × √3

Adjacent = 2√3

For Triangle 2:

a. Determination of the Hypothenus.

Opposite = 2

Angle (θ) = 45°

Hypothenus =?

Sine θ = Opposite /Hypothenus

Sine 45 = 2 / Hypo

1 / √2 = 2 / Hypo

Cross multiply

1 × Hypo = 2 × √2

Hypothenus = 2√2

b. Determination of the Adjacent

Opposite = 2

Angle (θ) = 45°

Adjacent =?

Tan θ = Opposite / Adjacent

Tan 45 = 2 / Adj

1 = 2 / Adj

Cross multiply

1 × Adj = 2

Adjacent = 2

What is an equation for the parabola with focus (0, -12) and directrix y = 12

Answers

Given:

Focus of a parabola is (0, -12) and directrix is y = 12.

To find:

The equation of the parabola.

Solution:

General form of a parabola is

[tex](x-h)^2=4p(y-k)[/tex]       ...(i)

where, (h,k) is vertex, (h,k+p) is focus and y=k-p is directrix.

Focus is (0, -12).

[tex](h,k+p)=(0,-12)[/tex]

[tex]h=0[/tex]

[tex]k+p=-12[/tex]         ...(ii)

Directrix is y = 12.

[tex]k-p=12[/tex]      ...(iii)

Adding (ii) and (iii), we get

[tex]2k=0[/tex]

[tex]k=0[/tex]

Putting k=0 in (ii), we get

[tex]0+p=-12[/tex]

[tex]p=-12[/tex]

Putting h=0, k=0 and p=-12 in (i).

[tex](x-0)^2=4(-12)(y-0)[/tex]

[tex]x^2=-48y[/tex]

[tex]-\dfrac{1}{48}x^2=y[/tex]

Therefore, the required equation of parabola is [tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{48}x^2[/tex].

What is the volume V of the sphere. Write the answer in terms of pie.



Plz help

Answers

Answer:

Volume=972π units cubed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a sphere is:

V=4/3πr^3

where r=radius

and v=volume

so we know the radius of the sphere in the diagram is 9 cm

so r=9 cm

we can subsitute this into the formula and solve.

V=4/3π(9^3)

V=4/3π*729

V=972π units cubed.

Answers

Answer:

Test statistic Z= 0.13008 < 1.96 at 0.10 level of significance

null hypothesis is accepted

There is no difference proportion of positive tests among men is different from the proportion of positive tests among women

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(I):-

Given surveyed two random samples of 390 men and 360 women who were tested

first sample proportion

                    [tex]p_{1} = \frac{360}{390} = 0.9230[/tex]

second sample proportion

                  [tex]p_{2} = \frac{47}{52} = 0.9038[/tex]

Step(ii):-

Null hypothesis : H₀ : There is no difference  proportion of positive tests among men is different from the proportion of positive tests among women

Alternative Hypothesis:-

There is difference between proportion of positive tests among men is different from the proportion of positive tests among women

 

[tex]Z = \frac{p_{1}- p_{2} }{\sqrt{PQ(\frac{1}{n_{1} }+\frac{1}{n_{2} } } }[/tex]

where

          [tex]P = \frac{n_{1}p_{1} +n_{2} p_{2} }{n_{1}+n_{2} }[/tex]

         P =  0.920

[tex]Z= \frac{0.9230-0.9038}{\sqrt{0.920 X0.08(\frac{1}{390}+\frac{1}{52} } )}[/tex]

Test statistic Z =  0.13008

Level of significance = 0.10

The critical value Z₀.₁₀ = 1.645

Test statistic Z=0.13008 < 1.645 at 0.1 level of significance

Null hypothesis is accepted

There is no difference proportion of positive tests among men is different from the proportion of positive tests among women

A 1200 kg car travels at a constant speed of 15 m/s in a circular loop with a diameter of 45 m. What is the coefficient of friction on the car?

Answers

(a)

KE = m v^2 / 2 = (1200 kg)(20 m/s)^2 / 2 = 240,000 J

(b)

The energy is entirely dissipated by the force of friction in the brake system.

(c)

W = delta KE = KEf - KEi = (0 - 240,000) J = -240,000 J

(d)

Fd = delta KE

F = (delta KE) / d = (-240,000 J) / (50 m) = -4800 N

The magnitude of the friction force is 4800 N.

A car can travel 400 miles on 16 gallons of gasoline. How much gasoline will it need to go 275 miles?

*HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!*

Answers

Answer:

11 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{16 gallons}{400 miles} =\frac{x}{275 m}[/tex]

So x is the number of miles. This is a ratio problem, so if we had a situation like 1:2, when 1 changes 2 will accordingly change. 2:4. And 1:2 = 2:4.

So now to solve the equation. Cross multiply 16 and 275 = 4400. Cross multiply 400 and x. You'll end up with an equation like 400x = 4400. Then solve and you'll get x = 11. Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for percent error is [ |va-ve/ve| * 100% ].

The percentage error should be 3.6%

Given that,

Shaun estimated that the attendance at a college game was 1,200 people. The actual attendance was 1,158.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

[tex]= (1200-1158)\div 1158 \times 100\%\\\\= 42\div 1158 \times 100\%\\\\= 0.036 \times 100\%\\\\[/tex]

On average, Americans have lived in 4 places by the time they are 18 years old. Is this average a different number for college students? The 50 randomly selected college students who answered the survey question had lived in an average of 3.79 places by the time they were 18 years old. The standard deviation for the survey group was 1.2. What can be concluded at the α = 0.10 level of significance?

Answers

Answer:

The decision rule is

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

There is  no sufficient evidence to conclude that the average is a different number for college students

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  sample size is  n =  50  

    The  population mean is [tex]\mu = 4[/tex]

     The  sample mean is [tex]\= x = 3.79[/tex]

     The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 1.2[/tex]

     The  level of significance is  [tex]\alpha = 0.10[/tex]

The  null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \mu = 4[/tex]

The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : \mu \ne 4[/tex]

Generally  the  test statistics is mathematically represented as

         [tex]z = \frac{ \= x - \mu }{ \frac{ \sigma }{ \sqrt{n}} }[/tex]

=>      [tex]z = \frac{ 3.79 - 4 }{ \frac{1.2}{ \sqrt{50}} }[/tex]

=>       [tex]z = -1.237[/tex]

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to    -1.237  is    

         [tex]P(Z < -1.237) = 0.10804[/tex]

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

        [tex]p-value = P(Z < -1.237) = 2 * 0.10804[/tex]

=>    [tex]p-value = 0.21608[/tex]

Generally  from the values obtained we see that

       [tex]p-value > \alpha[/tex]

Hence

The decision rule is

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

 The conclusion is

There is  no sufficient evidence to conclude that the average is a different number for college students
