A blue boat and a red boat are on the same side of a lake and are 18 miles apart. The blue boat is 30 miles from a lighthouse on the opposite side of the lake. The angle formed by the boats and the lighthouse, and whose vertex is at the blue boat, measures 120°. Find the distance from the red boat to the lighthouse. What is the angle made from the lighthouse to the two boats?

Answer:
red boat distance: 42 milesangle at lighthouse: 22°Step-by-step explanation:
The Law of Cosines can be used to find the distance from the red boat to the lighthouse.
b² = l² +r² -2lr·cos(B)
b² = 18² +30² +2·18·30·cos(120°) = 1764
b = √1764 = 42
The distance from the red boat to the lighthouse is 42 miles.
__
The angle at the lighthouse can be found using the law of sines.
sin(L)/l = sin(B)/b
L = arcsin(l/b·sin(B)) = arcsin(18/42·sin(120°)) ≈ 21.79°
The angle between the boats measured at the lighthouse is about 22°.

A study was conducted to determine if there was a difference in the driving ability of students from West University and East University by sending a survey to a sample of 100 students at both universities. Of the 100 sampled from West University, 15 reported they were involved in a car accident within the past year. Of the 100 randomly sampled students from East University, 12 students reported they were involved in a car accident within the past year. True or False. The difference in driving abilities at the two universities is statistically significant at the .05 significance level.
Answers
Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
Before testing the hypothesis, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]
Subtraction between normal variables:
When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.
West University:
15 out of 100, so:
[tex]p_W = \frac{15}{100} = 0.15[/tex]
[tex]s_W = \sqrt{\frac{0.15*0.85}{100}} = 0.0357[/tex]
East University:
12 out of 100, so:
[tex]p_E = \frac{12}{100} = 0.12[/tex]
[tex]s_E = \sqrt{\frac{0.12*0.88}{100}} = 0.0325[/tex]
Test the difference in driving abilities at the two universities:
At the null hypothesis we test if there is no difference, that is, the subtraction of the proportions is 0, so:
[tex]H_0: p_W - p_E = 0[/tex]
At the alternative hypothesis, we test if there is a difference, that is, if the subtraction of the proportions is different of 0. So
[tex]H_1: p_W - p_E \neq 0[/tex]
The test statistic is:
[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, and s is the standard error.
0 is tested at the null hypothesis:
This means that [tex]\mu = 0[/tex]
From the two samples:
[tex]X = p_W - p_E = 0.15 - 0.12 = 0.03[/tex]
[tex]s = \sqrt{s_W^2+s_E^2} = \sqrt{0.0357^2+0.0325^2} = 0.0483[/tex]
Value of the test statistic:
[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]z = \frac{0.03 - 0}{0.0483}[/tex]
[tex]z = 0.62[/tex]
P-value of the test and decision:
The p-value of the test is the probability that the proportions differ by at least 0.03, which is P(|z| > 0.62), that is, 2 multiplied by the p-value of z = -0.62.
Looking at the z-table, z = -0.62 has a p-value of 0.2676.
2*0.2676 = 0.5352.
The p-value of the test is 0.5352 > 0.05, which means that the difference in driving is not statistically significant at the .05 significance level, and thus the answer is False.

Answer:
The idea is to transform the expression by multiplying [tex](\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x})[/tex] with its conjugate, [tex](\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x})[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
For any real number [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex], [tex](a + b)\, (a - b) = a^{2} - b^{2}[/tex].
The factor [tex](\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x})[/tex] is irrational. However, when multiplied with its square root conjugate [tex](\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x})[/tex], the product would become rational:
[tex]\begin{aligned} & (\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x}) \, (\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}) \\ &= (\sqrt{x + 1})^{2} -(\sqrt{x})^{2} \\ &= (x + 1) - (x) = 1\end{aligned}[/tex].
The idea is to multiply [tex]\sqrt{x}\, (\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x})[/tex] by [tex]\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}}[/tex] so as to make it easier to take the limit.
Since [tex]\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}} = 1[/tex], multiplying the expression by this fraction would not change the value of the original expression.
[tex]\begin{aligned} & \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \sqrt{x} \, (\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x}) \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \left[\sqrt{x} \, (\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x})\cdot \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}}\right] \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt{x}\, ((x + 1) - x)}{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x + 1}+ \sqrt{x}}\end{aligned}[/tex].
The order of [tex]x[/tex] in both the numerator and the denominator are now both [tex](1/2)[/tex]. Hence, dividing both the numerator and the denominator by [tex]x^{(1/2)}[/tex] (same as [tex]\sqrt{x}[/tex]) would ensure that all but the constant terms would approach [tex]0[/tex] under this limit:
[tex]\begin{aligned} & \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \sqrt{x} \, (\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x}) \\ &= \cdots\\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x + 1}+ \sqrt{x}} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt{x} / \sqrt{x}}{(\sqrt{x + 1} / \sqrt{x}) + (\sqrt{x} / \sqrt{x})} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty}\frac{1}{\sqrt{(x / x) + (1 / x)} + 1} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (1/x)} + 1}\end{aligned}[/tex].
By continuity:
[tex]\begin{aligned} & \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \sqrt{x} \, (\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x}) \\ &= \cdots\\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x + 1}+ \sqrt{x}} \\ &= \cdots \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (1/x)} + 1} \\ &= \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + \lim\limits_{x \to \infty}(1/x)} + 1} \\ &= \frac{1}{1 + 1} \\ &= \frac{1}{2}\end{aligned}[/tex].
Answer:
Hello,
Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following trinomial:

-4x is the common term, so:
[tex]-4x(\frac{-4x^3}{-4x} - \frac{4x^2}{-4x^3} + \frac{24x}{-4x}) = -4x(x^2+x-6)[/tex]
The second degree polynomial can also be factored, finding it's roots.
Solving a quadratic equation:

This polynomial has roots [tex]x_{1}, x_{2}[/tex] such that [tex]ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})[/tex], given by the following formulas:
[tex]x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}[/tex]
[tex]x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}[/tex]
[tex]\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac[/tex]
x² + x - 6
Quadratic equation with [tex]a = 1, b = 1, c = -6[/tex]
So
[tex]\Delta = 1^{2} - 4(1)(-6) = 25[/tex]
[tex]x_{1} = \frac{-1 + \sqrt{25}}{2} = 2[/tex]
[tex]x_{2} = \frac{-1 - \sqrt{25}}{2} = -3[/tex]
So
[tex]x^2 + x - 6 = (x - 2)(x - (-3)) = (x - 2)(x + 3)[/tex]
The complete factorization is:
[tex]-4x(x^2+x-6) = -4x(x - 2)(x + 3)[/tex]
Thus the correct answer is given by option d.

Answers
Here we have the quadratic function:
f(x) = -16*x^2 + 60*x + 16
We can see that it is in standard form:
y = a*x^2 + b*x + c
a) First we want to completely factorize the function f(x).
To do it, we first need to find the roots of f(x).
Remember that for a generic quadratic equation:
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0
whit roots x₁ and x₂, the factorized form is:
a*(x - x₁)*(x - x₂)
And the roots are given by:
[tex]x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4*a*c} }{2*a}[/tex]
Then for the case of f(x) = -16*x^2 + 60*x + 16, the roots are:
[tex]x = \frac{-60 \pm \sqrt{60^2 - 4*(-16)*16} }{2*(-16)} = \frac{-60 \pm 68}{-32}[/tex]
So the two roots are:
x₁ = (-60 + 68)/-32 = -0.25
x₂ = (-60 - 68)/-32 = 4
Then the factorized form is:
f(x) = -16*(x - 4)*(x + 0.25)
B) We already found the roots, which are:
x₁ = -0.25
x₂ = 4
These are the x-intercepts:
(-0.25, 0) and (4, 0)
C) We can see that the leading coefficient is negative.
This means that the arms of the graph go downwards, so as |x| increases, the value of f(x) tends to negative infinity.
D) To graph f(x) we can find some of the points of the graph (like the x-intercepts and some more of them) and then connect them with a parabola curve, the graph that you will get is the one that you can see below.
