WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Answer:
61.42 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter = sum of all sides of surrounding the figure = circumference of a circle + 2(length of the rectangle)
Note: two semicircles = 1 full circle
Perimeter = πd + 2(L)
Where,
Diameter of the circle (d) = 10
Length of rectangle (L) = 15
Plug in the values
Perimeter = π*10 + 2(15)
Perimeter = 10π + 30
≈ 61.42 units (approximated to nearest tenths)
Find the equation of the line through point (-4,1) and parallel to y= -1/2x-2.
Answer:
[tex]y = -\frac{1}{2}x - 1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
In order for two lines to be parallel they must have the same slope. In other words the m constant in the line equation needs to match
[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]
This means for the equation we're trying to find, we already know m. It's just -1/2 since that's the slope of the line it needs to be parallel to.
Next, let's find the constant b. We know the slope, and we know it goes through points (-4, 1), so let's plug this into our equation
[tex]y = -\frac{1}{2}x + b\\1 = - \frac{1}{2}\times{-4} + b\\1 = 2 + b\\b = -1[/tex]
Now that we have both constants, we know the equation of the line.
[tex]y = -\frac{1}{2}x - 1[/tex]
To convince yourself this is correct, let's plot these two lines.

Answer:
"Type II error" is the right answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
A type II mistake would be that a fake null hypothesis also isn't rejected. It's also called false negatives.It happens whenever an investigator does not eliminate a truly wrong null hypothesis. Here quite a scientist determines that whenever it genuinely exists, that there's no substantial consequence.Thus the above is the right answer.
g Kristina Karganova invites 17 relatives to a party: her mother, aunts, uncles, brothers, 1 male cousin, and female cousins. If the chances of any one guest arriving first are equally likely, find the probabilities that the first guest to arrive is as follows. (a) A brother or an uncle (b) A brother or a cousin (c) A brother or her mother (a) The total number of outcomes is nothing and the number of outcomes in the event is nothing.
Answer:
7 / 17 ;
10 / 17 ;
5 / 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Guests :
Mother = 1
Aunts = 3
Uncles = 3
Brothers = 4
Male cousin = 1
Female cousin = 5
_________________
Total guests = 17
Since each of the guests have an equal probability of arrival :
Probability that first guest to arrive :
Brother or uncle :
Number of brothers =4
Number of uncles = 3
P(brother or uncle) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes
Required outcome (number of brothers + uncles) = (4 + 3) = 7
Total possible outcomes = total guests = 17
P(brother or uncle) = 7 / 17
2.)
P(brother or cousin) :
Required outcome = (number of brothers + cousins) = (4 + 1 + 5) = 10
Total possible outcomes = total guests = 17
P(brother or cousin) = 10/17
3.)
P(brother or mother) ;
Required outcome = (number of brothers + mother) = (4+1) = 5
Total possible outcomes = total guests = 17
P(brother or mother) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes = 5 / 17
What is the length of the arc of a circle of diameter 8 meters subtended by a central angle of
3pi/4 radians?
Answer:
9.42 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
diameter = 8 m
radius = 4 m
Length of arc = radius * central angle in radians
= 4 * 3[tex]\pi[/tex] / 4
= 12[tex]\pi[/tex] / 4
= 3[tex]\pi[/tex]
= 66 / 7
= 9.42 m
The length of the arc of a circle of diameter 8 meters subtended by a central angle of 3pi/4 radians is 9.42 meters.
What is the arc of the circle?The arc period of a circle can be calculated with the radius and relevant perspective using the arc period method.
expalination:
⇒angle= arc/radius
= 3pi/4 radians
diameter = 8 m
radius = 4 m
Length of arc = radius * central angle in radians
⇒4 * 3 / 4
⇒12 / 4 = 3
⇒66 / 7
⇒9.42 m
Hence the arc of a circle is 9.42 m.

Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the functions f and g in the tables below. f(x) = 90x2 + 180x + 92 x y 0 92 1 362 2 812 3 1,442 4 2,252 5 3,242 g(x) = 6x x y 0 1 1 6 2 36 3 216 4 1,296 5 7,776 Which of the following statements is true? A. At approximately x = 4.39, the rate of change of f is equal to the rate of change of g. B. As x increases, the rate of change of g exceeds the rate of change of f. C. As x increases, the rate of change of f exceeds the rate of change of g. D. For every value of x, the rate of change of g exceeds the rate of change of f.
Answer:
As x increases, the rate of change of g exceeds the rate of change of f.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]f(x) = 90x^2 + 180x + 92[/tex]
[tex]\begin{array}{ccccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} & f(x) & {92} & {362} & {812} & {1442} & {2252} & {3242} \ \end{array}[/tex]
[tex]g(x) = 6^x[/tex]
[tex]\begin{array}{ccccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} & g(x) & {1} & {6} & {36} & {216} & {1296} & {7776} \ \end{array}[/tex]
Required
Which of the options is true?
A. At [tex]x \approx 4.39[/tex], f(x) has the same rate of change as g(x)
Rate of change is calculated as:
[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]
For f(x)
[tex]f(x) = 90x^2 + 180x + 92[/tex]
[tex]f(4.39) = 90*4.39^2 + 180*4.39 + 92 = 2616.689[/tex]
So, the rate of change is:
[tex]m = \frac{2616.689}{4.39} = 596.06[/tex]
For g(x)
[tex]g(x) = 6^x[/tex]
[tex]g(4.39) = 6^{4.39} = 2606.66[/tex]
So, the rate of change is:
[tex]m = \frac{2606.66}{4.39} = 593.77[/tex]
The rate of change of both functions are not equal at x = 4.39. Hence, (a) is false.
B. Rate of change of g(x) is greater than f(x) with increment in x
Using the formula in (a), we have:
[tex]\begin{array}{ccccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} & f(x) & {92} & {362} & {812} & {1442} & {2252} & {3242} & m &\infty & 362 & 406 & 480 & 563 &648.4\ \end{array}[/tex]
[tex]\begin{array}{ccccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} & g(x) & {1} & {6} & {36} & {216} & {1296} & {7776} & m & \infty & 6 & 18 & 72 & 324 & 1555 \ \end{array}[/tex]
From x = 1 to 4, the rate of change of f is greater than the rate of g.
However, from x = 5, the rate of change of g is greater than the rate of f.
This means that (b) is true.
The above table further shows that (c) and (d) are false.

1 calculate the weight of a dog on the earth and on the moon if it has a mass of 28kg
To solve the problem.
W=m×g
W=28×10
W=280.
The weight of a dog on the surface of earth is 280N.
Answer:
274.68N and 45.36N respectively
Step-by-step explanation:
Weight of any object is the mass in kilograms(kg) multiplied by the gravity in meter per square second(m/s^2). The gravity on earth is 9.81m/s^2 and on moon is 1.62m/s^2...so since the gravity varies the weight of the dog will also vary. The wight on earth would be 28kg multiplied by 9.81m/s^2 which would be 274.68N and the weight on moon would be 28kg multiplied by 1.62m/s^2 which would be 45.36N.

Given:
The function is:
[tex]g(x)=f(x+2)-3[/tex]
To find:
The statement that best compares the graph of g(x) with the graph of f(x).
Solution:
The transformation is defined as
[tex]g(x)=f(x+a)+b[/tex] .... (i)
Where, a is horizontal shift and b is vertical shift.
If a>0, then the graph shifts a units left and if a<0, then the graph shifts a units right.
If b>0, then the graph shifts b units up and if b<0, then the graph shifts b units down.
We have,
[tex]g(x)=f(x+2)-3[/tex] ...(ii)
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get
[tex]a=2[/tex]
[tex]b=-3[/tex]
Therefore, the graph of g(x) is shifted 2 units left and 3 units down.
Hence, the correct option is C.

n( A U B) with a line at the top = n(A) + n(B) - n( A n B)
7 = 50-n(A U B)
or, n( A U B) = 50 - 7
so, n(A U B) = 43
Then
n( A U B) = n(A)+n(B)-n(A n B)
43 = 18 + 28 - n( A n B)
or, 43 = 46 - n(A n B)
or, n(A n B) = 46 - 43
so, n(A n B) = 3
A boat is pulled into a dock by means of a winch 12 feet above the deck of the boat. (a) The winch pulls in rope at a rate of 4 feet per second. Determine the speed of the boat when there is 15 feet of rope out.
Answer:
the speed of the boat is 6.67 ft/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
height of the winch, h = 12 ft
the rate at which the winch pulls, the rope, = 4 ft/s
This form a right triangle problem;
let the height of the right triangle = h
let the base of the triangle = b (this corresponds to the horizontal displacement of the boat)
let the hypotenuse side = c
c² = b² + h²
[tex]2c\frac{dc}{dt} = 2b\frac{db}{dt} + 2h \frac{dh}{dt}\\\\The \ height \ of \ the \ winch \ is \ not \ changing \\\\2c\frac{dc}{dt} = 2b\frac{db}{dt} + 2h (0)\\\\2c\frac{dc}{dt} = 2b\frac{db}{dt} \\\\c\frac{dc}{dt} = b\frac{db}{dt} ----(*) \\\\when;\\\\the\ hypotenuse \ c = 15 \ ft\\\\the \ the \ the \ height, h = 12 \ ft\\\\the \ base, b \ becomes ;\\\\b^2 = c^2 -h^2\\\\b^2 = 15^2 - 12^2\\\\b^2 = 81\\\\b = \sqrt{81} \\\\b = 9 \ ft\\\\\\from \ the \ equation (*) \ above;\\\\[/tex]
[tex]c\frac{dc}{dt} = b \frac{db}{dt} \\\\dc/dt = 4 \ ft/s, \ \ c = 15 \ ft, \ \ b = 9 \ ft\\\\15 (4) = 9\frac{db}{dt} \\\\60 = 9 \frac{db}{dt} \\\\\frac{db}{dt} = \frac{60}{9} = 6.67 \ ft/s[/tex]
Therefore, the speed of the boat is 6.67 ft/s
