In his 2011 State of the Union Address, President Barack Obama said:
"To attract new businesses to our shores, we need the fastest, most reliable ways to move people, goods, and information—from high-speed rail to high-speed Internet. Our infrastructure used to be the best, but our lead has slipped. The jobs created by the transcontinental railroad & the Interstate Highway System didn't just come from laying down track or pavement. They came from businesses that opened near a town's new train station or the new off-ramp.

We've begun rebuilding for the 21st century. And tonight, I'm proposing that we redouble those efforts. We'll put more Americans to work repairing crumbling roads and bridges. Within 25 years, our goal is to give 80% of Americans access to high-speed rail. Within the next five years, we'll make it possible for businesses to deploy the next generation of high-speed wireless coverage to 98% of all Americans. This isn't just about faster Internet or fewer dropped calls. It's about connecting every part of America to the digital age."

Answer 1

Answer: This is a persuasion. Where he says "To attract new businesses to our shores, we need the fastest, most reliable ways to move people, goods, and information—from high-speed rail to high-speed Internet." He is stating the problem. Also where he says "I'm proposing that we redouble those efforts." he is prompting a solution to the problem. Furthurmore, he’s stating the problem and teaching you how to figure out the solution.

Which equation goes with the circle?

Answers

Answer:

An equation of the circle with centre (-2,1) and radius 3 is [tex]\mathbf{(x+2)^2+(x-1)^2=9}[/tex]

Option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the figure we get centre of circle C (-2,1) and radius of circle r = 3

The equation of circle is of form: [tex](x-h)^2+(x-k)^2=r^2[/tex] where (h,k) is centre and r is radius.

We have centre C (-2,1) so, we have h = -2 and k = 1

We have radius = 3 so, r = 3

Putting values in the equation and finding the required equation:

[tex](x-h)^2+(x-k)^2=r^2\\(x-(-2))^2+(x-1)^2=(3)^2\\(x+2)^2+(x-1)^2=9[/tex]

So,  an equation of the circle with centre (-2,1) and radius 3 is [tex]\mathbf{(x+2)^2+(x-1)^2=9}[/tex]

Option D is correct.

Using properties of parallelograms, RSTU is a parallelogram that has vertices R (-3,1), S (3,4), and T( 6,2(. What are the coordinates of point U.

Answers

Answer:

(0, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral (has four sides) in which opposite sides are parallel to each other. Also for a parallelogram, the opposite sides and angles are equal to each other.

Hence for parallelogram RSTU, RS // TU and RU // ST

Let the coordinate of U be (x , y). Two lines are parallel to each other if their slopes are equal, hence:

Slope of RS = (4 - 1) /[3 - (-3)] = 3/6 = 0.5

Slope of ST = (2 - 4) /[6 - 3] = -2/3

Slope of RU = (y - 1) /[x - (-3)] = (y - 1) / (x + 3)

Slope of TU = (y - 2) /[x - 6]

Slope of RU = Slope of ST

(y - 1) / (x + 3) = -2/3

3y - 3 = -2x -6

2x + 3y = -6 + 3

2x + 3y = -3                  (1)

Slope of RS = Slope of TU

0.5 = (y - 2) /[x - 6]

0.5x - 3 = y  - 2

0.5x - y = 1                  (2)

Solving 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:

x = 0, y = -1

Therefore the coordinates of U = (0, -1)

Middle Figure.

Triangles

There are many ways to solve this. I think the most easily understood is to break it into 2 triangles and a rectangle.

Base of both triangles = 5 + 5 = 10

The height of each triangle = (7 - 3)/2 = 4/2 = 2. You divide by 2 because there are 2 bases -- one in each triangle.

Area = 1/2 * 2 * 10 = 10

But there are 2 of them so the total area is 20

Rectangle

The length of the rectangle = 5 + 5 = 10

The width = 3

Area = 30

Total

Total Area = 2 squares + 2 triangles + 1 rectangle

Total Area = 18 + 20 + 30 = 68

Thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village are approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 4.9 millimeters (mm) and a standard deviation of 1.2 mm. For a randomly found shard, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
(a) the thickness is less than 3.0 mm
(b) the thickness is more than 7.0 mm
(c) the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm

Answers

Answer:

a) The probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm

P(X<3.0) = 0.057

b) The probability that the thickness is less than 7.0 mm

P(X>7) = 0.0401

c) The probability that the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm

P( 3 < x <  7)= 0.9029

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given mean of the Population (μ)  = 4.9 mm

Standard deviation of the Population(σ) = 1.2 mm

a)

Let 'X' be the random variable in normal distribution

[tex]Z = \frac{x-mean}{S.D} = \frac{3.0-4.9}{1.2} = -1.583[/tex]

The probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm

[tex]P(X<3.0) = P(Z < -1.583) = 1 - P( Z>1.583)[/tex]

                                               =  1 - ( 0.5 + A(1.583)

                                              = 0.5 - A(1.583)

                                             = 0.5 - 0.4430

                                             = 0.057

The probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm

P(X<3.0) = 0.057

b)

Let 'X' be the random variable in normal distribution

[tex]Z = \frac{x-mean}{S.D} = \frac{7.0-4.9}{1.2} = 1.75[/tex]

The probability that the thickness is less than 7.0 mm

[tex]P(X>7.0) = P(Z >1.75) = 0.5 - A(1.75)[/tex]

                                          = 0.5 - 0.4599   ( from normal table )

                                          = 0.0401

The probability that the thickness is less than 7.0 mm

P(X>7) = 0.0401

c)

Let 'X' be the random variable in normal distribution

[tex]Z_{1} = \frac{x_{1} -mean}{S.D} = \frac{3.0-4.9}{1.2} = -1.583[/tex]  

[tex]Z_{2} = \frac{x_{2} -mean}{S.D} = \frac{7.0-4.9}{1.2} = 1.75[/tex]

The probability that the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm

P( 3 < x <  7) =  P( - 1.583 < X < 1.75 )

                   =   A(  1.75 ) + A( -1.583)

                  =     A(1.75)+A(1.583)

                 = 0.4599 + 0.4430

                = 0.9029  

The probability that the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm

P( 3 < x <  7)= 0.9029

Seven more than three times a number is thirty-one. Write an equation
and solve for the unknown number.

Answers

Answer:

As an equation, (we'll use x as the variable), that word problem is 3x+7=31.

To solve we'd subtract 7 from both sides to isolate 3x, which gives us 3x=24. Now, to isolate x(unknown number) we would divide both sides by 3. When you divide both sides by 3, you'd get x=8.

An equilateral triangle has a side length of 12sqrt(3) inches. What is the length of the altitude of the triangle?
HELP ASAP

Answers

Answer:

18 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x inches be the altitude of the triangle.

By Pythagoras Theorem,

[6sqrt(3)]^2 + x^2 = [12sqrt(3)]^2

108 + x^2 = 432

x^2 = 324

x = 18

So the altitude of the triangle is 18 inches.

a streamer going downstream in a river cover the distance between two towns in 15 hours coming back upstream it covers the distance in 20 hours the speed of the water is 3 kilometre per hour . find the distance between two towns​

Answers

Answer:

360 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let stream speed = x

Speed of water = 3km/hr

Therefore,

Upstream speed = (x - 3) km/hr

Downstream speed = (x + 3) km/hr

Time taken downstream = 15 hours

Time taken upstream = 20 hours

Recall:

Distance = speed * time

Upstream Distance = downstream distance

20(x - 3) = 15(x + 3)

20x - 60 = 15x + 45

20x - 15x = 45 + 60

5x = 105

x = 105 / 5

x = 21

Upstream speed = (21 - 3) = 18

Distance between the two towns :

18 * 20 = 360 km

5x + 7y = -6
4x + 7y = -9

Answers

Answer:

Simplifying
5x + 7y = -6

Solving
5x + 7y = -6

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-7y' to each side of the equation.
5x + 7y + -7y = -6 + -7y

Combine like terms: 7y + -7y = 0
5x + 0 = -6 + -7y
5x = -6 + -7y

Divide each side by '5'.
x = -1.2 + -1.4y

Simplifying
x = -1.2 + -1.4y
__________________________________

Simplifying
4x + 7y = -9

Solving
4x + 7y = -9

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-7y' to each side of the equation.
4x + 7y + -7y = -9 + -7y

Combine like terms: 7y + -7y = 0
4x + 0 = -9 + -7y
4x = -9 + -7y

Divide each side by '4'.
x = -2.25 + -1.75y

Simplifying
