which of these figures has rotational symmetry
9514 1404 393
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The parallelogram has rotational symmetry of degree 2. It looks the same after rotation by 180°.
_____
Additional comment
When a figure only looks like itself after a full rotation of 360°, it is said to have rotational symmetry of degree 1. All of the figures here will return to their original appearance after one 360° rotation. So, we assume the intent of the question is to identify figures with a rotational symmetry of degree greater than 1.

Briana figures it would take her 12 hours to complete the task working alone, and that it would take Henry 18 hours if he completed the task by himself. How long will it take Briana and Henry to complete the task together?
a. 6.7 hours
b. 7.2 hours
c. 5.6 hours
Answer:
The correct answer is B. It will take them 7.2 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that to collect data on the signal strengths in a neighborhood, Briana must drive from house to house and take readings, and she has a graduate student, Henry, to assist her, and Briana figures it would take her 12 hours to complete the task working alone, and that it would take Henry 18 hours if he completed the task by himself, to determine how long will it take Briana and Henry to complete the task together the following calculation must be performed:
1/12 + 1/18 = X
18 / (12 x 18) + 12 / (18 x 12) = X
30/216 = X
5/36 = X
36/5 = 7.2
Therefore, they will be able to finish the task in 7.2 hours.
Suppose you obtain a chi-square statistic of 67.81. Are your results statistically significant if the critical value obtained from the distribution of chi-square is 3.84 with an alpha level of .05? Explain.
Answer:
Result is statistically significant.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Chisquare statistic, χ² = 67.81
Critical value for the distribution, χ²critical = 3.84
α = 0.05
The Decison region :
If χ² statistic > Critical value ; Reject H0 ; this. Eans that result is statistically significant.
Therefore, since, 67.81 > 3.84 ; This means that the result is statistically significant at 0.05

ZDAC = ZBAD.
What is the length of CD?
Round to one decimal place.
Answer:
3.4
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle bisector theorem states that for a triangle that is bisected, the ratio between the two edges in each of the triangles that form are proportional to each other.
For this triangle, the bisector splits the triangle into ΔABD and ΔACD. The edges of ΔABD are BD and AB, while the edges of ΔACD are CD and AC. Therefore, we can say that BD/AB = CD/AC . Note that both parts of line that is bisected (BC) are on top, while the other edge sides are on the bottom. *
BD/AB = CD/AC
2.6/4.9 = ? / 6.5
multiply both sides by 6.5 to isolate the ?
2.6 * 6.5 / 4.9 = ? ≈ 3.4
* this can also be rearranged so that AB/BD = AC/CD, but it is vital to ensure that either both sides that are part of the larger triangle are on top or both parts of the bisected line are on top

The increase in length of an aluminum rod is twice the increase in length of an Invar rod with only a third of the temperature increase. Find the ratio of the lengths of the two rods.
Answer:
the ratio of lengths of the two rods, Aluminum to Invar is 11.27
Step-by-step explanation:
coefficient of linear expansion of aluminum, [tex]\alpha _{Al} = 23 \times 10^{-6} /K[/tex]
Coefficient of linear expansion of Invar, [tex]\alpha _{Iv} = 1.2 \times 10^{-6}/K[/tex]
Linear thermal expansion is given as;
[tex]\Delta L = L_0 \times \alpha\times \Delta T\\\\where;\\\\L_0 \ is \ the \ original \ length \ of \ the \ metal\\\\\Delta L \ is \ the \ increase \ in \ length[/tex]
The increase in length of Invar is given as;
[tex]\Delta L_{Iv} = L_0_{Iv} \times \alpha _{Iv}\times \Delta T_{Iv}[/tex]
The increase in length of the Aluminum;
[tex]\Delta L_{ Al} = L_0_{Al} \times \alpha _{Al} \times \Delta T_{Al}\\\\from \ the\ given \ question, \ the \ relationship \ between \ the \ rods \ is \ given \ as\\\\ L_0_{Al} \times \alpha _{Al} \times \frac{1}{3} \Delta T_{Iv}= 2( L_0_{Iv} \times \alpha _{Iv} \times \Delta T_{Iv})\\\\ L_0_{Al} \times \alpha _{Al} \times \Delta T_{Iv}= 6( L_0_{Iv} \times \alpha _{Iv} \times \Delta T_{Iv})\\\\ L_0_{Al} \times \alpha _{Al} \times \Delta T_{Iv} = 6L_0_{Iv} \times 6\alpha _{Iv} \times 6 \Delta T_{Iv}\\\\[/tex]
[tex]\frac{L_0_{Al}}{6L_0_{Iv} } = \frac{6\alpha _{Iv} \ \times \ 6 \Delta T_{Iv}}{\alpha _{Al} \ \times \ \Delta T_{Iv}} \\\\\frac{L_0_{Al}}{6L_0_{Iv} } = \frac{6\alpha _{Iv} \ \times \ 6}{\alpha _{Al} \ } \\\\\frac{L_0_{Al}}{L_0_{Iv} } = 6^3(\frac{\alpha _{Iv} }{\alpha _{Al} } )\\\\\frac{L_0_{Al}}{L_0_{Iv} } = 6^3(\frac{1.2 \times 10^{-6} }{23\times 10^{-6} } )\\\\\frac{L_0_{Al}}{L_0_{Iv} } = 6^3(\frac{1.2}{23} )\\\\\frac{L_0_{Al}}{L_0_{Iv} } = \frac{259.2}{23} \\\\\frac{L_0_{Al}}{L_0_{Iv} } = 11.27[/tex]
Therefore, the ratio of lengths of the two rods, Aluminum to Invar is 11.27
The ratio of the lengths of the two rods which is length of aluminum to length of Invar rod is; 11.27
Formula for linear thermal expansion is;
ΔL = L × α × ΔT
Where;
ΔL is change in original length
L is original length
α is coefficient of linear expansion
ΔT is change in temperature
We are told that increase in length of aluminum rod is twice the increase in length of an Invar rod with only a third of the temperature increase.
Thus;
ΔL = 2ΔL
ΔT for the aluminum rod = ⅓ΔT for the Invar rod.
Thus, we have;
L_al × α_al × ⅓ΔT = 2L_in × 2α_in × 2ΔT
ΔT will cancel out to give;
⅓(L_al × α_al) = 2L_in × 2α_in × 2
Multiply both sides by 3 to get;
(L_al × α_al) = 6L_in × 6α_in × 6
From online tables, the linear coefficient of expansion of aluminum is 23 × 10^(-6) C¯¹
While the coefficient of thermal expansion for Invar rod is 1.2 × 10^(-6) K¯¹
Thus;
L_al × 23 × 10^(-6) = 6L_in × (6 × 1.2 × 10^(-6)) × 6
L_al/L_in = (6 × 6 × 1.2 × 10^(-6) × 6)/(23 × 10^(-6))
L_al/L_in = 11.27

A television camera is positioned 4000 ft from the base of a rocket launching pad. The angle of elevation of the camera has to change at the correct rate in order to keep the rocket in sight. Also, the mechanism for focusing the camera has to take into account the increasing distance from the camera to the rising rocket. Let's assume the rocket rises vertically and its speed is 800 ft/s when it has risen 3000 ft. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
(a) How fast is the distance from the television camera to the rocket changing at that moment?
ft/s
(b) If the television camera is always kept aimed at the rocket, how fast is the camera's angle of elevation changing at that same moment?
rad/s
============================================
Explanation for part (a)
t = time in secondsx = horizontal distance from the camera to the launch pady = vertical distance from the launch pad to the rocket's locationz = distance from camera to the rocket at time tAll distances mentioned are in feet.
We'll have a right triangle which allows us to apply the pythagorean theorem. Refer to the diagram below.
a^2+b^2 = c^2
x^2+y^2 = z^2
Apply the derivative to both sides with respect to t. We'll use implicit differentiation and the chain rule.
[tex]x^2+y^2 = z^2\\\\\frac{d}{dt}[x^2+y^2] = \frac{d}{dt}[z^2]\\\\\frac{d}{dt}[x^2]+\frac{d}{dt}[y^2] = \frac{d}{dt}[z^2]\\\\2x*\frac{dx}{dt}+2y*\frac{dy}{dt}=2z*\frac{dz}{dt}\\\\x*\frac{dx}{dt}+y*\frac{dy}{dt}=z*\frac{dz}{dt}\\\\[/tex]
Now we'll plug in (x,y,z) = (4000,3000,5000). The x and y values are given. The z value is found by use of the pythagorean theorem. Ie, you solve 4000^2+3000^2 = z^2 to get z = 5000. Or you could note that this is a scaled copy of the 3-4-5 right triangle.
We know that dx/dt = 0 because the horizontal distance, the x distance, is not changing. The rocket is only changing in the y direction. Or you could say that the horizontal speed is zero.
The vertical speed is dy/dt = 800 ft/s and it's when y = 3000. It's likely that dy/dt isn't the same value through the rocket's journey; however, all we care about is the instant when y = 3000.
Let's plug all that in and isolate dz/dt
[tex]4000*0+3000*800=5000*\frac{dz}{dt}\\\\2,400,000=5000*\frac{dz}{dt}\\\\\frac{dz}{dt} = \frac{2,400,000}{5000}\\\\\frac{dz}{dt} = 480\\\\[/tex]
At the exact instant that the rocket is 3000 ft in the air, the distance between the camera and the rocket is changing by an instantaneous speed of 480 ft/s.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Explanation for part (b)
Again, refer to the diagram below.
We have theta (symbol [tex]\theta[/tex]) as the angle of elevation. As the rocket's height increases, so does the angle theta.
We can tie together the opposite side y with the adjacent side x with the tangent function of this angle.
[tex]\tan(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}\\\\\tan(\theta) = \frac{y}{x}[/tex]
Like before, we'll apply implicit differentiation. This time we'll use the quotient rule as well.
[tex]\tan(\theta) = \frac{y}{x}\\\\\frac{d}{dt}[\tan(\theta)] = \frac{d}{dt}\left[\frac{y}{x}\right]\\\\\sec^2(\theta)*\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt}*x - y*\frac{dx}{dt}}{x^2}\\\\\sec^2(\theta)*\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{800*4000 - 3000*0}{4000^2}\\\\\sec^2(\theta)*\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{3,200,000}{16,000,000}\\\\\sec^2(\theta)*\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{32}{160}\\\\\sec^2(\theta)*\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{5}\\\\[/tex]
Let's take a brief detour. We'll return to this later. Recall earlier that [tex]\tan(\theta) = \frac{y}{x}\\\\[/tex]
If we plug in y = 3000 and x = 4000, then we end up with [tex]\tan(\theta) = \frac{3}{4}\\\\[/tex] which becomes [tex]\tan^2(\theta) = \frac{9}{16}[/tex]
Apply this trig identity
[tex]\sec^2(\theta) = 1 + \tan^2(\theta)[/tex]
and you should end up with [tex]\sec^2(\theta) = 1+\frac{9}{16} = \frac{25}{16}[/tex]
So we can now return to the equation we want to solve
[tex]\sec^2(\theta)*\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{5}\\\\\frac{25}{16}*\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{5}\\\\\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{5}*\frac{16}{25}\\\\\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{16}{125}\\\\\frac{d\theta}{dt} = 0.128\\\\[/tex]
This means that at the instant the rocket is 3000 ft in the air, the angle of elevation theta is increasing by 0.128 radians per second.
This is approximately 7.334 degrees per second.
The distance from the television camera to the rocket is changing at 480 ft/s while the camera's angle of elevation is changing at 0.128 rad/s
Let x represent the distance from the camera to the rocket and let h represent the height of the rocket.
a)
[tex]x^2=h^2+4000^2\\\\2x\frac{dx}{dt}=2h\frac{dh}{dt} \\\\x\frac{dx}{dt}=h\frac{dh}{dt} \\\\At \ h=3000\ ft, \frac{dh}{dt}=800\ ft/s;\\x^2=3000^{2} +4000^2\\x=5000\\\\\\x\frac{dx}{dt}=h\frac{dh}{dt} \\\\5000\frac{dx}{dt}=3000*800\\\\\frac{dx}{dt}=480\ ft/s[/tex]
b)
[tex]tan(\theta)=\frac{h}{4000} \\\\h=4000tan(\theta)\\\\\frac{dh}{dt}=4000sec^2(\theta)\frac{d\theta}{dt} \\\\\\At\ h=3000\ ft;\\\\tan\theta = \frac{3000}{4000}=\frac{3}{4} \\\\sec^2(\theta)=1+tan^2(\theta)=1+(\frac{3}{4})^2=\frac{25}{16} \\\\\\\frac{dh}{dt}=4000sec^2(\theta)\frac{d\theta}{dt}\\\\800=4000*\frac{25}{16}* \frac{d\theta}{dt}\\\\\frac{d\theta}{dt}=0.128\ rad/s[/tex]
Hence, The distance from the television camera to the rocket is changing at 480 ft/s while the camera's angle of elevation is changing at 0.128 rad/s

5<x<29
Step-by-step explanation:
One theorem tells us that if a triangle has two congruent sides and one of the included angle is bigger than the other, the triangle with the included angle that is bigger. has a bigger side than the other.
This is the opposite in this case. The triangles share two sides and we know that the triangle with the side length 18 has a bigger angle than the triangle with the side length 15. So this means that
[tex]48 > 2x - 10[/tex]
Let find the range of x values.
An angle cannot be negative or zero so this means that
[tex]2x - 10 > 0[/tex]
Solve for x.
[tex]2x > 10[/tex]
[tex]x > 5[/tex]
The angle cannot be bigger than 48 so
[tex]48 > 2x - 10[/tex]
Solve for x.
[tex]58 > 2x[/tex]
[tex]29 > x[/tex]
So x must be greater than 5 but less than 29.

[tex]p= 0.23\\\\ \therefore \\\\1-p=0.77\\\\n=1200\\\\ P=\frac{311}{1200}=0.2591\\\\\therefore\\\\Z= \frac{0.2591-0.23}{\sqrt{((0.23)\times \frac{(1-0.23))}{1200}}}=2.4049[/tex]
Z=2.576 tabled value. Because Z is 2.4049, that's less than Z stated, there is no indication that a null hypothesis is rejectable, which means that 23% of all adults record the logo of the Company.
