Response:

x = 11, y = 8

Detailed explanation:

Triangles ΔABC and ΔFDE are congruent according to the SSS postulate

Set the congruent sides of the two triangles equal to each other

BC = ED, which gives us

x + 3 = 14 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x = 11

-------------------------------------

DF = AB, can be expressed as

x - y = 3 ← substitute x = 11

11 - y = 3 (subtract 11 from both sides )

- y = 3 - 11 = - 8 (multiply both sides by -1 )

y = 8

Response:

x equals 11 and y equals 8.

Detailed explanation:

It is stated that ΔABC and ΔFDE are congruent.

The corresponding segments of congruent triangles are also congruent.

AB=FD                       (CPCTC)

3=x-y.... (1)

BC=DE                       (CPCTC)

x+3=14

Subtracting 3 from both sides yields the following results.

x=14-3

x=11

So, x is found to be 11.

Inserting x=11 into equation (1).

3=11-y

Adding y to both sides leads to the following procedure.

3+y=11

Removing 3 from both sides produces the final result.

y=11-3

y=8

And we find y to be 8.

A rectangle has area 64 m2. Express the perimeter of the rectangle as a function of the length L of one of its sides. State the
Leona [12618]
A rectangle is defined as a two-dimensional figure that features two pairs of equal, parallel sides. Its dimensions consist of length (L) and width (W). The area of a rectangle can be calculated using the formula that multiplies these two dimensions together. The perimeter can be expressed as

P = 2L + 2W.

Given that
A = LW = 64
therefore, W = 64/L.
Substituting this value into the perimeter formula yields

P = 2L + 2(64/L)
P = 2L + 128/L.

Assume that the readings on the thermometers are normally idistributed with a mean of 0◦ and a standard deviation of 1.00◦C. Fin
zzz [12365]

Answer:

The recorded temperature is -0.675ºC.

Detailed explanation:

To tackle problems involving normally distributed samples, the z-score formula can be utilized.

In a distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score for a specific measure X is calculated as follows:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score indicates how many standard deviations a given measure deviates from the mean. Once the Z-score is determined, we refer to the z-score table to obtain the corresponding p-value. This p-value represents the likelihood that the measure's value is less than X, thereby indicating the percentile of X. By taking 1 minus the p-value, we find the probability that the measure's value exceeds X.

For this scenario, we know that:

Assuming the thermometer readings follow a normal distribution with a mean of 0◦ and a standard deviation of 1.00◦C, this leads us to \mu = 0, \sigma = 1

We need to determine P25, which is the 25th percentile.

This represents the value of X corresponding to Z with a p-value of 0.25, thus we utilize Z = -0.675, applicable between Z = -0.67 and Z = -0.68.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-0.675 = \frac{X - 0}{1}

X = -0.675

The recorded temperature is -0.675ºC.

Which are the solutions of x2 = –5x + 8? StartFraction negative 5 minus StartRoot 57 EndRoot Over 2 EndFraction comma StartFract
tester [12383]

Answer:

x=\frac{-5-\sqrt{57} }{2}\ or\ x=\frac{-5+\sqrt{57} }{2}

Detailed solution:

Given:

The problem to solve is:

x^2=-5x+8

Convert the equation into the standard quadratic form ax^2+bx +c =0, where a,\ b,\ and\ c represent constants.

So, by adding 5x-8 to both sides, we get:

x^2+5x-8=0

Note that a=1,b=5,c=-8.

The roots of this quadratic are found by applying the quadratic formula given as:

x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Substitute a=1,b=5,c=-8 into the formula and calculate for x.

x=\frac{-5\pm \sqrt{5^2-4(1)(-8)}}{2(1)}\\x=\frac{-5\pm \sqrt{25+32}}{2}\\x=\frac{-5\pm \sqrt{57}}{2}\\\\\\\therefore x=\frac{-5-\sqrt{57} }{2}\ or\ x=\frac{-5+\sqrt{57} }{2}

Hence, the roots are:

x=\frac{-5-\sqrt{57} }{2}\ or\ x=\frac{-5+\sqrt{57} }{2}
