What is number line geometery?

A number line is a horizontal line that has numbers in equal intervals.The numbers included on the line can be negative or positive taking zero as a reference point at the center called the origin.

The horizontal straight lines in which the integers are placed in equal intervals increase as we go right.The horizontal straight lines in which the integers are placed in equal intervals decreases as we go left.

A vector is an object that has both a magnitude as wel as direction. direction. It is represented by an arrow (head) and the tail which indicates the direction.The length is proportional to the quantity's magnitude.The resultant vector can be calculated using vector addition, and vector subtraction.Unit vector always has a magnitude of one and tells about the direction

explanation:- using number line concept.

-3 to 0 would be 3 then add 8 = 11 miles.

⇒Sarah started 3 miles below the rim = -3

⇒ initially she was above 8 miles

⇒  total distance first from -3 to 0 and than from o to 8

Therefore total distance =  |–3 – 8| = 11.

Hence the answer is option D. Sarah is correct because |–3 – 8| = 11.

Determine the linear factors for x4-2x^2+1

Answers

Use a substitution: let b = x^2
Then b^2 = x^4.

Now you need to factor

b^2 - 2b + 1 =

(b - 1)^2

Since b = x^2, now we replace b with x^2 and factor again.

(x^2 - 1)^2 is the square of a difference of squares.

= (x^2 - 1)(x^2 - 1)

=(x + 1)(x - 1)(x + 1)(x - 1)

= (x + 1)^2(x - 1)^2
Didn't you mean    x^4-2x^2+1 ?

Choose "p" to represent x^2.  Then p^2 - 2p + 1    = (p-1)(p-1)

These results are equivalent to (x^2-1)(x^2+1).

x^2-1 can be factored:  (x-1)(x+1)

x^2-1 (again) can be factored:  (x-1)(x+1)

Then the factored expression is (x-1)^2 * (x+1)^2.

Answers

If they started at a same time the distance between them will be 1300 mi exactly after an hour (1 hour). 

(1200 m/h)^2 + (500 m/h)^2 = (1300 m)^2 

Time is 1 Hour 

So the distance between the boat heads and steamer heads if they started the same time and be 1300 mi is 1 hour.

Answer: After t=1 hour the distance between the boat and the steamer be 1300 mi.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given the speed of boat = 1200 mph

the speed of steamer =500 mph

Distance traveled by boat in time "t"=[tex]\frac{distance}{time}=\frac{1200}{t}[/tex]

Distance traveled by steamer in time time "t"=[tex]\frac{500}{t}[/tex]

As boat head south and steamer heads east ∴ they will make a right angle triangle with hypotenuse=shortest distance between them =1300mi(given)

By Pythagoras theorem

[tex](Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2=(Hypotenuse)^2\\\\\Rightarrow(\frac{1200}{t})^2+(\frac{500}{t})^2=(1300)^2\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{1440000}{t^2}+\frac{250000}{t^2}=1690000\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{1690000}{t^2}=1690000\\\\\Rightarrow\ t^2=\frac{1690000}{1690000}=1[/tex]

The length of a rectangle is 5 less than twice the width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 146 centimeters, find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answers

Length of rectangle = 5 less than 2x width
Perimeter = 146 cm

Equations we will use...
w = width
(2w - 5) = length (l)
perimeter (p) = 2(l + w)

Substitute equation for length into equation for perimeter
p = 2(l + w)
146 = 2((2w - 5) + w)     
[use distributive prop.]
146 = 4w - 10 + 2w        [combine like terms]
146 = 6w -10                  
[solve for w]
156 = 6w
w = 26 cm

Now substitute width back into the equation for length...
l = 2w - 5
l = 2(26) - 5
l = 47

Double check to make sure values added up to 146 cm
w + w + l + l = 146
26 + 26 + 47 + 47 = 146
146 = 146

Therefore, the width is 26 cm and the length is 47 cm.


The dimension of the rectangle should be 47cm and 26 cm respectively.

Given that,

The perimeter of the rectangle is 146 cm.And, the length is 5 less than twice the width. Here we assume the length be x and the width be y.

Based on the above information,

We know that

The perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l + w)

w = width

(2w - 5) = length

So,

146 = 2(2w - 5 + w)

146  = 4w - 10 + 2w

156 = 6w

w = 26 cm

And, the length is

= 2(26) - 5

= 47 cm

Therefore we can conclude that the dimension of the rectangle should be 47cm and 26 cm respectively.

Please explain your answer.

Answers

The equation that represents an identity is 
3w + 8 – w = 4w – 2(w – 4). w = 8

Answer:

The correct option is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations that are true for any value of the variable, no matter what value is plugged in for the variable, then they are called Identity equations.

The first equation is

[tex]7m-5=8m+7-m[/tex]

[tex]7m-5=7m+7[/tex]

Subtract 7m from both the sides.

[tex]-5=7[/tex]

This statement is false for any value of m. Therefore this is not an Identity equation.

The second equation is

[tex]3w+8-w=4w-2(w-4)[/tex]

Using distributive property,

[tex]2w+8=4w-2w+8[/tex]

[tex]2w+8=2w+8[/tex]

[tex]0=0[/tex]

This statement is true for any value of w. Therefore this is an Identity equation.

The third equation is

[tex]9-(2v+3)=-2v-6[/tex]

[tex]9-2v-3=-2v-6[/tex]

[tex]-2v+6=-2v-6[/tex]

[tex]6=-6[/tex]

This statement is false for any value of v. Therefore this is not an Identity equation.

The fourth equation is

[tex]-3y+3=-3y-6[/tex]

Add 3y on both the sides.

[tex]3=-6[/tex]

This statement is false for any value of y. Therefore this is not an Identity equation.

Hence the correct option is 2.

2 out of 10 people have an allergic reaction to a new medicine. What is the probability that exactly 4 out of 10 people given the medicine experience an allergic reaction?

Answers

I would say about 1/10. Hope this helps!

The probability that exactly 4 out of 10 people given the medicine experience an allergic reaction is approximately 0.087 or 8.7%.

To find the probability that exactly 4 out of 10 people experience an allergic reaction to the new medicine, we use the binomial probability formula:

[tex]\[ P(X = k) = \binom{n}{k} \times p^k \times (1 - p)^{n - k} \][/tex]

Where:

( n ) is the number of trials (in this case, 10 people)

( k ) is the number of successes (in this case, 4 people)

( p ) is the probability of success on each trial (in this case, the probability of having an allergic reaction, which is 2 out of 10, or 0.2)

Now let's calculate:

[tex]\[ P(X = 4) = \binom{10}{4} \times 0.2^4 \times (1 - 0.2)^{10 - 4} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ P(X = 4) = \frac{10!}{4!(10-4)!} \times 0.2^4 \times 0.8^6 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ P(X = 4) = \frac{10!}{4! \times 6!} \times 0.2^4 \times 0.8^6 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ P(X = 4) = \frac{10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \times 0.2^4 \times 0.8^6 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ P(X = 4) = 210 \times 0.2^4 \times 0.8^6 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ P(X = 4) = 210 \times 0.0016 \times 0.262144 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ P(X = 4) = 0.08704 \][/tex]

So, the probability that exactly 4 out of 10 people given the medicine experience an allergic reaction is approximately 0.087 or 8.7%.

(C) The price was reduced by a quarter
(D) The price became a half of what it was before
(E) The price is now 1.5 of what it was before
(F) The price now is 66 2 3 % of what it was before
(G) The price now is 200% of what it was before
(H) The price is 75% of what it was before

Answers

Correct answers to the statement that the price increased by 1/2 are: (B) The price is 150% of the price before and (E) The price is now 1.5 of what it was before. All other options either imply the price doubled, decreased, or was halved, which are not equivalent to an increase by half.

When it is stated that the price increased by 1/2, it means that the new price is the original price plus half of the original price. This is equivalent to multiplying the original price by 1.5. Let's evaluate the provided options:

(A) The price doubled - This would mean the new price is twice the original price, or the original price multiplied by 2, which is incorrect.(B) The price is 150% of the price before - This is correct because 150% implies the original price plus 50% of the original price, which matches our initial statement.(C) The price was reduced by a quarter - This would mean the new price is 75% of the original price, which is incorrect.(D) The price became a half of what it was before - This means the new price is half the original price, which is incorrect.(E) The price is now 1.5 of what it was before - This is correct, as it directly states that the new price is 1.5 times the original price.(F) The price now is 66 2/3% of what it was before - This would imply a decrease in price, which is incorrect.(G) The price now is 200% of what it was before - This implies the price doubled, which is not the case.(H) The price is 75% of what it was before - This would mean the price decreased, which is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answers to the statement "price increased by 1/2" are (B) The price is 150% of the price before and (E) The price is now 1.5 of what it was before.

The equivalent statements are (B) "The price is 150% of the price before" and (E) "The price is now 1.5 of what it was before".

To determine which statements are equivalent to the statement "price increased by 1/2", let's analyze each option:

(A) The price doubled:

This statement is not equivalent because doubling the price means multiplying it by 2, which is an increase of 100%.

(B) The price is 150% of the price before:

This statement is equivalent. Increasing by 1/2 is equivalent to increasing by 50%, which makes the new price 150% of the original price.

(C) The price was reduced by a quarter:

This statement is not equivalent because reducing by a quarter means subtracting 25%, not adding 50%.

(D) The price became a half of what it was before:

This statement is not equivalent because it implies a decrease to half, whereas the original statement implies an increase by half.

(E) The price is now 1.5 of what it was before:

This statement is equivalent. If the price is increased by 1/2, it becomes 1 + 1/2 = 1.5 times the original price.

(F) The price now is 66 2/3 % of what it was before:

This statement is not equivalent. 66 2/3 % represents a decrease, not an increase.

(G) The price now is 200% of what it was before:

This statement is not equivalent because 200% represents a doubling, not an increase of 1/2.

(H) The price is 75% of what it was before:

This statement is not equivalent because 75% represents a decrease, not an increase.

So, the equivalent statements are (B) and (E).

△EFG≅△JKL . What is m∠K ?

Now that K is JKL, K will be similar to EFG's mid and late game.

Middle and late phase of EFG = F

M∠F = 62°

Therefore m∠K = m∠F = 62°

"1. how many ancestors does a node at level n in a binary tree have? provide justification."

Answers

In binary tree there are n ancestor at level n.

Proof :

Take P(0): At node level 0, it has no ancestors since this is a roo tnode.

Take P(1): At node level 1, it has one ancestor. The ancestor is the root, its parents which is at level 0.

Take P(K): A node level K it has K ancestors. Its parent is at level K – 1.

Take P(K+1): At node K + 1 level have more than one ancestor than that of node at k level.

Thus there are n ancestor at level n in binary tree.

A node at level n in a binary tree has n ancestors. This is because there are n nodes on the path from the root to the node itself.


In a binary tree, the ancestors of a node are all the nodes that appear on the path from the root of the tree to that node. The level of a node is defined as its distance from the root node, with the root node being at level 0.

To determine the number of ancestors of a node at level n, consider the following:

The node at the root (level 0) has 0 ancestors.A node at level 1 has the root node as its ancestor (1 ancestor).In general, a node at level n has n - 1 nodes on the path from the root to the node.Therefore, a node at level n in a binary tree has n ancestors because it includes all nodes from the root (level 0) to the node itself (excluding the node itself).

Hence, the number of ancestors for a node at level n is simply n.

using the doubles when multiplying with 4

2 × (4 × 4)

= 2 × 16

= 32

Hence,

we use the doubles this way as by doubling the result obtained on multiplying the 4 with 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

4 × 8 = 32

Now,

using the doubles when multiplying with 4

2 × (4 × 4)

= 2 × 16

= 32

Hence,

we use the doubles this way as by doubling the result obtained on multiplying the 4 with 4

or

double the number 4 i.e 2 × 4 = 8

then again double the result i.e  2 × 8 = 16

and, again double the result i.e 2 × 16 = 32 which the required answer.

You want to place a towel bar that is 24 1⁄4 centimeters long in the center of a door that is 70 1⁄3 centimeters wide. How far should you place the bar from each edge of the door?

Answers

Subtract the width of the towel bar from the width of the door and divide by 2.

     70 1/3
 -   24 1/4
--------------

You need a common denominator to subtract the fractions. The LCD is 12,so we can rewrite the subtraction using the LCD.

     70 4/12
 -   24 3/12
--------------
     46 1/12

Now you need to divide 46 1/12 by 2.

46/2 = 23

(1/12) / 2 = 1/24

The answer is 23 1/24 cm

Answer:

You should place it 23 1/24 centimeters from each edge.

Step-by-step explanation:

The towel bar will be in the center in the door so the space between the edge of the door and each side of the bar is equal in the left and the right of the door. So lets define:

x: distance between edge of door and the towel bar edge.

We see that x is the distance left in both sides of the towel bar from the door so:

x+24 (1/4) +x = 70 (1/3)

2x + 24 (1/4)  =  70 (1/3)

2x=   70 (1/3) -  24 (1/4)

To operate the fractions , we need a common denominator that can be obtained simply by multiplying both denominators 4* 3=12

We then subtract the whole numbers and fractions

2x=   70 (4/12) -  24 (3/12) =  =( 46 1/12)

x= ( 46 1/12) / 2 = 23 (1/24)
