The statement that every diagonal of a trapezoid divides it into two congruent triangles is false.

Two or more triangles are said to be congruent if and only if sides and angles of one triangle is equal to the corresponding sides and angles of another triangle.

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral which has at least one pair of parallel sides.

The sides may or may not be equal.

Consider an isosceles trapezium, ABCD, given below which has two parallel opposite sides and the other pair of sides are equal.

If we draw a diagonal, AC, we have two triangles ABC and ADC.

AC = AC (common side)

AD = BC (given)

But AB ≠ CD

Hence the triangles cannot be congruent.

Hence the given statement is false.

The length of the diagonal of the rectangle is 11.70 in.

A diagonal of a polygon is a line segment that joins two vertices of the polygon which are not already joined by an edge of the polygon.

Since, there is no information about which polygon's diagonal length we are asked to find, so let us consider that the given side lengths are of a rectangle,

Now, please refer to the figure attached in the solution,

We know that, the diagonal of a rectangle divides it into two right triangles,

Here our rectangle is ABCD and the diagonal AC divides it into rt. Δ ABC and rt. Δ ADC,

Considering the rt. Δ ABC,

The diagonal AC is acting as the hypotenuse of rt. Δ ABC,

So, using Pythagoras theorem,

AC² = AB² + BC²

AC = √4²+11²

AC = √121+16

AC = 11.70

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the formula for calculating the quarterly payment of a loan with compound interest:

Payment = (r * P) / (1 - (1 + r)^(-n))

where:

r = quarterly interest rate (12% / 4 = 0.03)

P = principal amount (remaining debt after down payment) = $150,000

n = total number of quarterly payments (10 years * 4 quarters per year = 40)

(1) Calculation of Quarterly Payment:

Payment = (0.03 * 150,000) / (1 - (1 + 0.03)^(-40)) = $2,365.87 (rounded to the nearest cent)

Therefore, the quarterly payment is $2,365.87.

(2) Calculation of Total Amount of Payment:

Total amount of payment = (number of payments) * (quarterly payment)

number of payments = 10 years * 4 quarters per year = 40

Total amount of payment = 40 * 2,365.87 = $94,634.80

Therefore, the total amount of payment is $94,634.80.

(3) Calculation of Total Amount of Interest Paid:

Total amount of interest paid = total amount of payment - principal amount

Total amount of interest paid = $94,634.80 - $150,000 = -$55,365.20

Note that the result is negative because the down payment ($50,000) exceeds the total amount of interest paid over the life of the loan. Therefore, in this case, the total amount of interest paid is $0, and the man ends up paying a total of $100,000 ($50,000 down payment + $50,000 in quarterly payments).

a) We cannot determine the probability

b) The mean of x - 55 is $28 - $55 = -$27, and the standard deviation of x - 55 is $0.45.

c) By the central limit theorem, the sampling distribution of x^-x will be approximately normal if the sample size is large enough.

d)  The probability that the average fee paid by the sample of households exceeds $55 is very close to 0.

a. We cannot determine the probability that the amount a randomly selected household pays for access to the internet exceeds $55 because we don't have information about the distribution of individual payments, only the mean and standard deviation of the population.

b. The mean of the sampling distribution of x is equal to the population mean, which is $28. The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of x is equal to the population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size, which is $10/sqrt(500) ≈ $0.45. Therefore, the mean of x - 55 is $28 - $55 = -$27, and the standard deviation of x - 55 is $0.45.

c. By the central limit theorem, the sampling distribution of x^-x will be approximately normal if the sample size is large enough. In this case, since the sample size is 500 and greater than 30, we can assume that the sampling distribution is approximately normal.

d. To find the probability that the average fee paid by the sample of households exceeds $55, we need to standardize the value of x using the sampling distribution of x^-x and then find the probability of a z-score greater than or equal to:

z = (55 - 28)/0.45 ≈ 60. The probability of a z-score greater than or equal to 60 is extremely small, as the normal distribution tails off quickly. Therefore, the probability that the average fee paid by the sample of households exceeds $55 is very close to 0.

Answer:

A) Yes, Rolle's Theorem can be applied!

Step-by-step explanation:

Rolle's theorem states that if a function f is continuous on the closed interval [a, b] and differentiable on the open interval (a, b) such that f(a) = f(b), then f′(x) = 0 for some x with a ≤ x ≤ b.

Here, for our continuous function [tex]f(x)=-x^2+2x[/tex] over the closed interval [tex][0,2][/tex], we can tell that the function is clearly differentiable over the interval [tex](0,2)[/tex] as [tex]f'(x)=-2x+2[/tex], so we'll need to check if [tex]f(0)=f(2)[/tex]:

[tex]f(0)=-0^2+2(0)=0\\f(2)=-(2)^2+2(2)=-4+4=0[/tex]

Next, we'll need to check if f'(x) = 0 for some x within the closed interval:

[tex]f'(x)=-2x+2=0\\-2x+2=0\\-2x=-2\\x=1[/tex]

As x=1 is contained in [0,2] and the previous conditions were met, Rolle's Theorem can be applied!

A and B are not independent since the result of one toss affects the second toss. Specifically, if the first toss result is a head (A), then the second toss will be more likely to result in a head (B).

A and B are conditionally independent given C since the probability of getting head(A) for the first toss does not depend on the type of coin selected (C).

P(A|C) = 1/2, P(B|C) = 1/2, P(A∩B|C) = 1/4, P(A) = 1/2, P(B) = 3/4, and P(A∩B) = 1/4. Therefore, given the information that a regular coin has been selected (C), the probability of A and B occurring independently is 1/4. This suggests that A and B are conditionally independent given C.

The final volume of a system with initially of 2 liters if the pressure is tripled and the temperature is tripled, is 11.57 liters.

The combined gas law equation relates the initial and final conditions of a system of gas by considering the effect of changes in pressure, volume, and temperature:

P1 * V1 / T1 = P2 * V2 / T2

Given the initial conditions of the system:

V1 = 2 liters

P1 = 1 atm

T1 = 273 K (room temperature)

And the changes in pressure and temperature:

P2 = 3 * P1 = 3 atm

T2 = 3 * T1 = 819 K

We can calculate the final volume of the system:

V2 = (P1 * V1 / T1) * (T2 / P2) = (1 atm * 2 liters / 273 K) * (819 K / 3 atm) = approximately 11.57 liters

The cross product of two vectors v and w is explicitly defined as ijkv jwk and also transformed as a dual vector under rotation.

The cross product of two vectors v and w is defined as:

v × w = (v2w3 - v3w2)i - (v1w3 - v3w1)j + (v1w2 - v2w1)k

To show that this cross product transforms as a dual vector under rotation, consider a rotation matrix R that transforms a vector u to u'. The transformation of u can be written as:

u' = Ru

We can write the cross product of v and w in terms of their components as:

v × w = (v1, v2, v3) × (w1, w2, w3) = (v2w3 - v3w2, -(v1w3 - v3w1), v1w2 - v2w1)

To see how this changes under rotation, we can use the matrix-vector product to transform v × w:

(v × w)' = R(v × w) = (Rv × Rw)

Rotation matrix R in terms of its components:

R = (r11, r12, r13; r21, r22, r23; r31, r32, r33)

(v × w)' = (r11r12r13r21r22r23r31r32r33(v2w3 - v3w2) - (v1w3 - v3w1) + (v1w2 - v2w1))

Since the Levi-Civita symbol is a symbol and does not transform under rotation, we have:

(v × w)' = det(R)(v × w)

This shows that the cross product of two vectors v and w transforms as a dual vector under rotation, and that the transformation is proportional to the determinant of the rotation matrix R.
