Find The Distance From Point A To XZ . Round Your Answer To The Nearest Tenth.The Distance Is About (Blank)

Answers

Answer 1

Using the distance formula, the distance between A to point Z to the nearest tenth is 4.1 .

How to find the distance using the coordinates?

The 2D distance formula gives the shortest distance between two points in a two-dimensional plane.

Using the distance formula,

d = √(y₂ - y₁) + (x₂ - x₁)²

let's use the distance formula, to find the distance between point A and XZ.

Using the coordinates,

A(3, 3) and XZ(4, -1)

Therefore,

x₁ = 3

x₂ = 4

y₁ = 3

y₂ = -1

d = √(4 - 3)² + (-1 - 3)²

d = √1² + (-4)²

d = √1 + 16

d = √17

Therefore,

d = 4.12310562562

d = 4.1

William opened two investment accounts. The first​ year, these​ investments, which totaled ​$2600​, yielded ​$175 in simple interest. Part of the money was invested at 7.5​% and the rest at 5​%. How much was invested at each​ rate?

Answers

An amount of $1800 was invested at a rate of 7.5% and $800 was invested at a rate of 5%.

What is the percentage?

The percentage is a ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100.

Given that, one part of $2600 was invested at a rate of 7.5% and the other part was invested at a rate of 5%, and the total yield was $175 simple interest.

Let $x was invested at 7.5%, then $(2600-x) was invested at 5%.

Since the yield is $175, it follows,

7.5% of x + 5% of (2600-x) = 175

7.5x/100 + 5(2600-x)/100 = 175

7.5x + 13000 - 5x = 17500

2.5x = 17500-13000

2.5x = 4500

x = 1800

Now, the value of (2600-x) is,

2600-1800

=800

Hence, $1800 was invested at a rate of 7.5% and $800 was invested at a rate of 5%.

William invested $1800 at 7.5% and $800 at 5% on his both accounts.

What is simple interest?

We know simple interest (SI) is given by SI = (p×r×t)/100, where

p = principle, r = rate in percentage, and t = time in years.

Given, William opened two investment accounts. In the first​ year, these​ investments, which totaled ​$2600​,

Assuming he invested $x at 7.5% on the first account and $(2600 - x) at 5% in the second account and yielded ​$175 in simple interest.

(x×7.5×1)/100 + {(2600 - x)×5×1}/100 = 175.

7.5x/100 + (13000 - 5x)/100 = 175.

7.5x + 13000 - 5x = 17500.

According to a study done by UCB students, the height for Martian adult males is normally distributed with an average of 65 inches and a standard deviation of 2.4 inches. Suppose one Martian adult male is randomly chosen. Let X = height of the individual. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible.

Answers

The probability that the person is between 67.1 and 68.3 inches, using the normal distribution, is of:

0.1056 = 10.56%.

Normal Probability Distribution

The z-score of a measure X of a variable that has mean symbolized by [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation symbolized by [tex]\sigma[/tex] is obtained by the rule presented as follows:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The z-score represents how many standard deviations the measure X is above or below the mean of the distribution, depending if the obtained z-score is positive or negative.Using the z-score table, the p-value associated with the calculated z-score is found, and it represents the percentile of the measure X in the distribution.

The mean and the standard deviation for the heights of UCB students are given as follows:

[tex]\mu = 65, \sigma = 2.4[/tex]

The probability that the person is between 67.1 and 68.3 inches is the p-value of Z when X = 68.3 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 67.1, hence:

X = 68.3:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Z = (68.3 - 65)/2.4

Z = 1.38.

Z = 1.38 has a p-value of 0.9162.

X = 67.1:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Z = (67.1 - 65)/2.4

Z = 0.88.

Z = 0.88 has a p-value of 0.8106.

0.9162 - 0.8106 = 0.1056 = 10.56%.

nto an empty bucket. After 56 minutes, 8 inches
of water are in the bucket. What linear function
n the form y = mx + b represents the amount of
water in inches, w, in the bucket after t minutes?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

w = t/7

at the beginning we 0 inches of water.

after 56 minutes we have 8 inches of water.

that is a ratio of 56 minutes / 8 inches = 7/1 = 1 / 1/7.

so, in 1 minute we get 1/7 inch of water.

in 2 minutes 2×1/7 = 2/7.

in 3 minutes 3×1/7 = 3/7.

...

hence the equation.

Answer:

y = t/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Start time t = 0,Start level y = 0,Level of y = 8 in after t = 56 min

Solution

Find the value of m and b in the equation y = mx + b.

The value of b = 0, since there is no level in the bucket initially.

Find the value of m, the slope:

8 = 56m,m = 8/56m = 1/7

So the equation is:

y =  (1/7)t + 0

Let P be the set of integers that are multiples of 3 between 1 and 10 and Q be the set of positive integers that are multiples of 4 and are less than 15. Which of the following list of elements does not belong to the union of P and Q?

A. 5

B. 3

C. 6

D. 4

Answers

The union of the sets P and Q does not have the integer 5 since it is neither a multiple of 3 or a multiple of 4.

P is the set of integers between 1 and 10 and multiple of 3.

∴P = {3,6,9}

Q is the set of positive integers less than 15 and multiple of 4.

∴Q = {4,8,12}

Now the union of the sets P and Q is given by :

P∪Q = {3,4,6,8,9,12}

Now the union of the sets does not contain the integer 5.

Any collection of items, including a set of raw materials, the seven days of the week, several car types, etc., can be categorized as a set.

Find the measure of the exterior angle.

Answers

The measure of the exterior angle is 139 degrees.

What is the measure of the exterior angle?

The sum of the interior angle of a triangle is 180 degree.

The sum of angles on a straight line is 180 degrees.

From the diagram;

Angle 1 = 64 degreesAngle 2 = 75 degreesAngle 3 = ?

First, we determine the third interior angle of the triangle.

Angle 1 + Angle 2 + Angle 3 = 180

64 + 75 + Angle 3 = 180

139 + Angle 3 = 180

Angle 3 = 180 - 139

Angle 3 = 41 degrees

Now, angle 3 and the exterior angle forms a angle on a straight line.

Hence;

Angle 3 + Exterior angle = 180

41 +  Exterior angle = 180

Exterior angle = 180 - 41

Exterior angle = 139 degrees.

In the context of understanding public opinion, which of the following is the best definition of values?-a person's general philosophy about the role of government-a person's political party-a specific preference on a particular issue-basic principles that shape a person's opinions about issues and events Part of the pride of being an American comes from the fact that most people that want jobs have jobs. However, this is not always the case. Sometimes, as happened in 2008, the economy slows down, and jobs become harder to find or keep. Businesses make less money and so can keep fewer people employed. Those people who lost their jobs then have less money to spend. Because they have less money to spend, other businesses make less money, and then they, too, have to cut workers. In the United States, these cycles always end and the economy recovers, but it can take a while. People have to get creative about making money if they lose their jobs. Sometimes, they can use the skills they used at their old jobs to make money independently. For example, people dont buy many car stereos when the economy is bad. So, car stereo stores have to layoff some of their stereo installers. If an installer has a place to work, that person can install stereos without a store. Often, this person will charge less than the store where he or she used to work. Also, the installer will get to keep all of the money he or she charged. At the store where the installer used to work, the store would have made most of the money. During hard times, it is important to be open-minded. There are always ways to make money outside of a formal job, if a person is willing to do things he or she wouldnt normally do. A computer programmer, for example, might not be able to find work as a computer programmer. However, if the programmer is good with his or her hands, he or she may be able to find work in construction. Lawns never stop growing, and many aspects of life do not stop just because the economy has slowed down. A person who lost a job at a supermarket may be able to mow lawns for money, or do many other things. Most importantly, a person who loses a job must not give up. Ones attitude is very important in determining if he or she will be successful. A hopeful person is more likely to find a new job. Also, a hopeful person will be better able to keep trying new things. A hopeful person, too, can be patient. The jobs will come back. They always do.Which of these best describes the central idea of the passage?
