Answers

Answer 1

The length of the line segment PT is 72 / 7.  

What is the length of a given line segment?

In this problem we have the case of five colinear points, that is, points lying on a line, where the following conditions are fulfilled:

PT = 2 · PQ = 2 · QT        (Q is the midpoint of PT)              (1)

QT = 2 · PR = 2 · RT          (R is the midpoint of QT)            (2)

RT = 2 · RS = 2 · ST          (S is the midpoint RT)                  (3)

PS = 9                                                                                     (4)

PT = PS + ST                                                                          (5)

By (4) and (3) in (5):

PT = 9 + RT / 2                    (5b)

(1) in (5b):

2 · QT = 9 + RT / 2              (5c)

(2) in (5c):

4 · RT = 9 + RT / 2    

(7 / 2) · RT = 9

RT = 18 / 7

By (5b):

PT = 9 + 18 / 14

PT = 9 + 9 / 7

PT = 72 / 7

The length of the line segment PT is 72 / 7.

What is a function?

A statement, principle, or policy that creates the link between two variables is known as a function. Functions are found all across mathematics and are required for the creation of complex relationships.

The function is given below.

f(x) = (x² - 4x + 4) / (x² - 4)

Simplify the equation, then we have

f(x) = (x² - 4x + 4) / (x² - 4)

f(x) = (x - 2)² / [(x - 2)(x + 2)]

f(x) = (x - 2) / (x + 2)

What exactly are dependent events?

Dependent occurrences are ones that are dependent on previous events. The outcomes of prior events have an impact on these occurrences. Dependent events are two or more occurrences that are dependent on one another. If one event is altered by chance, another is most likely to differ.

What exactly is the distinction between dependent and independent?

The independent and dependent factors are the two most crucial variables in a research experiment. The experimental has authority over the independent variable. The variable that varies in reaction toward the independent variable is known as the dependent variable.

According to the information provided:

P(A) = 0.74

P(B) = 0.85

P(A|B) = 0.84

Using  dependent events formula:

P(A∩B) = P(A/B) × P(B)

            = 0.84 X 0.85

            = 0.714

Given m n, find the value of x.

Answers

Answer:

x = 21°

Step-by-step explanation:

180 - 159 = 21

Alternate angles (see image below) are equal, so x = 21

Using corresponding angles and adjacent angles concept, the value of x from the given parallel lines is 21°.

Given that, straight line m parallel to straight line n and t is the transversal.

The corresponding angles definition tells us that when two parallel lines are intersected by a third one, the angles that occupy the same relative position at each intersection are known to be corresponding angles to each other.

Here, y°=159°

Now, y°+x°=180° (Adjacent angles on straight line)

159°+x°=180°

x°=21°

Therefore, the value of x from the given parallel lines is 21°.

The 107th derivative of f(x) =cos(x) is sin(x).

What is derivative of a function?

The derivative of y = f(x) function is the rate of change of  y  with respect to the independent variable x.

Derivative is represented by [tex]\frac{d}{dx}[/tex] and

First derivative to y is given by  [tex]\frac{d}{dx}f(x) = \lim_{h\to \00} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}[/tex]

Second derivative [tex]\frac{d^{2}y }{dx^{2} } = \frac{d}{dx} (\frac{dy}{dx} )[/tex] and so on higher derivatives can be defined.

[tex]\frac{d(sinx)}{dx} = cosx\\\frac{d(cosx)}{dx} = -sinx[/tex]

Given f(x) = cos(x)

Then the first derivative of cos(x) is [tex]\frac{d(cosx)}{dx} = -sinx[/tex]

The second derivative of cos(x) is [tex]\frac{d^{2}(cosx) }{dx^{2} } = \frac{d}{dx} (\frac{dcosx}{dx} ) = \frac{d(-sinx)}{dx} =-cosx[/tex]

Third derivative [tex]\frac{d^{3}(cosx) }{dx^{3} } = \frac{d }{dx } (\frac{d^{2} cosx}{dx^{2} } ) = \frac{d(-cosx }{dx } = sinx[/tex]

[tex]\frac{d^{4}(cosx) }{dx^{4} } = \frac{d(sinx) }{dx } = cosx\\\frac{d^{5}(cosx) }{dx^{5} } = \frac{d(cosx) }{dx } = -sinx\\\\\frac{d^{6}(cosx) }{dx^{6} } = \frac{d(-sinx) }{dx } = -cosx\\\\\frac{d^{7}(cosx) }{dx^{7} } = \frac{d(-cosx) }{dx } = sinx\\[/tex]

Eighth derivative if cos(x) is  cos(x)

and so on

Therefore , the first , fifth , ninth ,... derivative of f(x) =cos(x)  is -sin(x)

The second, sixth, tenth.... derivative of f(x) =cos(x)  is -cos(x)

The fourth , eighth , 12th,... derivative of f(x) =cos(x)  is cos(x)

We can say that very multiple of fourth derivative of f(x) =cos(x)  is cos(x)

We can write 107 as 104 + 3

As 104 is multiple of 4 therefore 104th derivative of cos(x) is cos(x)

[tex]\frac{d^{107}(cosx) }{dx^{107} } = \frac{d^{3} }{dx^{3} } (\frac{d^{104} cosx}{dx^{104} } ) \\\frac{d^{107}(cosx) }{dx^{107} } = \frac{d^{3}(cosx) }{dx^{3} } = sinx[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the values of three expenditures, given three relations between them.

(The first thing to realize is that the question isn't about averages at all. It is about values that are described as averages.)

Setup

Let f, j, c represent the (average) amounts spent on flowers, jewelry, and gift certificates, respectively. The three given relations are ...

  f + j + c = 53.42

  j = 4.40 + c

  f + c = 15.58 + j

Solution

Using the second equation to substitute for j in the third, we have ...

  f +c = 15.58 +(4.40 +c)

  f = 19.98 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

Using this and the second equation to substitute into the first, we have ...

  19.98 +(4.40 +c) +c = 53.42

  24.38 +2c = 53.42

  2c = 29.04

  c = 14.52

Then ...

  j = 4.40 +c = 4.40 +14.52 = 18.92

The average expenditures are ...

Flowers: $19.98Jewelry: $18.92Gift Certificates: $14.52

The line y=kx+4 goes through the point (2,-2)
Find the value of k.

Answers

Answer:

k= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know the line will go through the point (2,-2), we can plug these values into our x,y variables to solve for k. Our 2 is the x-value and our -2 is the y-value.

y = kx+4

-2 = k(2)+4

To get k by itself, we first have to subtract the 4 from both sides.

-2-4 = k(2)+4-4

-6 = k(2)

Then, we can divide each side by the 2 to get our answer.

-6/2 = k(2)/2

k = -3

(x +3) is a factor of the function f(x)= x³ +5x²-3x³-10x²+2x-3.

Here, we are given 4 functions. If (x+3) is a factor of any of these equations, then x = -3 and y = 0 must be a solution. Let us check each function one by one-

1. f(x) = x²-12x³ +54x² - 108x+81

putting x = -3, we get-

f(-3) = -3²-12(-3)³ +54(-3)² - 108(-3)+81

= 9+324+486+324+81

= 1,224

Thus, (x +3) is not a factor.

2. f(x)=x²-3x³-x+3

putting x = -3, we get-

f(-3) = -3²-3(-3)³-(-3)+3

= 9+81+9+3

= 102

Thus, (x +3) is not a factor.

3. f(x)=x+2x¹-23x³-60x²

putting x = -3, we get-

f(-3) = -3+2(-3)¹-23(-3)³-60(-3)²

= -3-6+621+540

= 1,152

Thus, (x +3) is not a factor.

4. f(x)= x³ +5x²-3x³-10x²+2x-3

putting x = -3, we get-

f(-3) = -3³ +5(-3)²-3(-3)³-10(-3)²+2(-3)-3

= -27+45+81-90-6-3

= 0

Thus, (x +3) is a factor of the function f(x)= x³ +5x²-3x³-10x²+2x-3.

I have studied the history of currencies for many years and feel strongly that the United States does not fully understand the consequences of keeping the penny in circulation.Consider your own experiences with pennies. For example, if you spot a penny on the ground, do you stop to pick it up or walk on by? Is it worth it to collect enough pennies to roll them? Can you even buy anything with a penny? I doubt it.There might have been a time when a penny would buy a few pieces of candy or a bottle of soda, but those days are long gone. I was surprised to hear that many people feel quite strongly that pennies are still valuable. I am obviously not one of them! Not only does it make financial sense to take the penny out of circulation, but it also makes environmental sense.The penny has quite a legacy in United States history; it was one of the first coins made by our government. In 1792, Congress passed the Coinage Act, allowing for the minting of American coins. Pennies were made of copper, but the rising price of this metal eventually caused the government to change the composition. Today, pennies are made of a mix of copper and zinc.Over its 228-year-old history, the penny has seen many changes, both in its composition and design. You might not know that the first pennies were minted with an image of Lady Liberty. Coin collectors still hunt far and wide to find some of the earliest versions. But just because these old pennies have value to collectors doesnt mean we should still be making them.As the cost of living continues to rise, the value of a penny decreases. It is clear to me that the penny no longer has a place or a purpose in American currency. In 2019, it cost around two cents to make a penny. This means that it literally costs about two cents to make one cent, and that is ridiculous! According to the U.S. Mints annual report from 2018, penny production operated at a loss of millions of dollars.Producing pennies is also bad for the environment. Todays pennies are made of zinc and copper, and mining those materials causes a lot of pollution. For every ton of copper mined, there are more than two tons of carbon dioxide produced. This means that producing pennies contributes to climate change. I dont think anyone here can argue that making a one-cent coin is worth destroying our environment. If you need yet another reason to remove pennies from circulation, consider this: we waste an enormous amount of time during sales transactions because of pennies. Looking for and counting out pennies by customers and cashiers adds around two seconds to a purchase. This adds up to twelve minutes a year! I am sure you can see how this hurts the economy by slowing down lines and therefore decreasing the number of transactions completed in a day.Some studies show that people are in favor of keeping the penny in circulation. However, it is likely that those people have a sense of nostalgia. Perhaps they have fond memories of stuffing piggy banks full of pennies. Or maybe they enjoyed earning pennies for childhood chores. Whatever the reason, times have changed and people need to see the bigger picture. There are other arguments for keeping the penny in circulationfor example, people who still use cash to purchase things. Also, charities benefit from all of those pennies dropped into containers at store check-out lines or at the drive through.While these reasons are worth mentioning, the reality is that most charities will never see a significant number of pennies collected on their behalf. They have more effective ways to raise money. And saving pennies or being paid in pennies is a thing of the past. In fact, as a society we are moving away from using cash. The penny should be removed from circulation, saving the governmentand, therefore, all of us taxpayerstime and money.QuestionWhich claim made in "Is a Penny Saved Worth Anything?" is supported by reasons or evidence?Using pennies hurts the economy by adding time to sales transactions Penny production has never operated at a loss..The penny lost value when the image of Lady Liberty was replaced.Americans are taxed for the production of pennies. solve for x: x - 1 = 4x + x - 8 + 3x How is the provincial executive formed according to the Constitution of Nepal?
