The wire supporting a 20-foot tall phone pole is attached to the top of the pole, and to the
ground 12 feet from the pole. How long is the wire?
Answer:
22.36 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
This situation forms a right triangle, where the wire is the hypotenuse
Use the pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse/wire length:
a² + b² = c²
20² + 12² = c²
400 + 144 = c²
544 = c²
22.36 = c
So, the wire is 22.36 feet long

Answer:
your formla is \(a{2}\)\(+b{2}=c{2}\) (part A is 5^2 + 9^2) (part B is 106)What portion of the population are eligible voters and over the age of 24? one-fourth one-third one-half two-thirds.
The portion of a population is simply a fraction of the population.
The required parameters are missing.
So, I will solve this question using the following parameters
Population = 600Eligible voters over the age of 24 = 400So, the portion of the population that are eligible voters over the age of 24 is calculated by dividing the number of eligible voters over the age of 24 by the overall population.
So, we have:
\(\mathbf{Portion= \frac{400}{600}}\)

How do you find the midpoint of coordinates
Answer:
The midpoint is halfway between two end points.
The x value is halfway between the two x values and
the y value is also halfway between the two y values.
Add both the x and y coordinates and divide by 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the x-coordinate of the midpoint of a segment, add the x-coordinates of the endpoints and divide by 2.
To find the y-coordinate of the midpoint of a segment, add the y-coordinates of the endpoints and divide by 2.
Example:
Find the midpoint of the segment with endpoints (2, 8) and (-5, 12).
x-coordinate of the midpoint: (2 + (-5))/2 = -3/2
y-coordinate: (8 + 12)/2 = 30/2 = 15

Step-by-step explanation:
The preference relation ≽ satisfies monotonicity if for all x, y ∈ X, if xk ≥ yk for all k, then x ≽ y, and if xk > yk for all k, then x ≻ y.
The preference relation ≽ satisfies strong monotonicity if for all x, y ∈ X, if xk ≥ yk for all k and x ≠ y then x ≻ y.
Show that preferences represented by min{x1, x2} satisfy monotonicity but not strong monotonicity
If we contrast the different parts, x1 = 3 2 = y1 and x2 = 4 4 = y2 are the results.
To show that preferences represented by min{x₁, x₂} satisfy monotonicity but not strong monotonicity, we need to demonstrate two things:
Preferences satisfy monotonicity: If xᵢ ≥ yᵢ for all i, then x ≽ y, and if xᵢ > yᵢ for all i, then x ≻ y.
Preferences do not satisfy strong monotonicity: There exist x and y such that xᵢ ≥ yᵢ for all i, but x ≠ y, and x ≰ y.
Let's address each of these points:
Monotonicity:
Suppose x and y are two bundles such that xᵢ ≥ yᵢ for all i. We need to show that x ≽ y and x ≻ y.
First, note that min{x₁, x₂} represents the minimum value between x₁ and x₂, and the same applies to y₁ and y₂.
Since x₁ ≥ y₁ and x₂ ≥ y₂, we can conclude that min{x₁, x₂} ≥ min{y₁, y₂}.
Therefore, x ≽ y, indicating that if all components of x are greater than or equal to the corresponding components of y, then x is weakly preferred to y.
However, if x₁ > y₁ and x₂ > y₂, then min{x₁, x₂} > min{y₁, y₂}. Hence, x ≻ y, indicating that if all components of x are strictly greater than the corresponding components of y, then x is strictly preferred to y.
Thus, preferences represented by min{x₁, x₂} satisfy monotonicity.
Strong Monotonicity:
To show that preferences represented by min{x₁, x₂} do not satisfy strong monotonicity, we need to provide an example of x and y such that xᵢ ≥ yᵢ for all i, but x ≠ y, and x ≰ y.
Consider the following bundles:
x = (3, 4)
y = (2, 4)
In this case, x₁ > y₁ and x₂ = y₂, so x ≻ y.
However,Thus, xᵢ ≥ yᵢ for all i, but x ≠ y, and x ≰ y.If we compare the individual components, x₁ = 3 ≥ 2 = y₁ and x₂ = 4 ≥ 4 = y₂.
Therefore, preferences represented by min{x₁, x₂} satisfy monotonicity but not strong monotonicity.

Since we have (0, a) as our y-intercept, then a=b, where a and b are constants.
The y-intercept, as indicated in the question, is (0, a) meaning that for the function f(x), when x=0, then f(x) = a.
The horizontal asymptote of a function is a horizontal line that the graph approaches as x approaches infinity or

The radius of a circle is 6 feet. What is the circle's circumference? Use 3.14
determine a region whose area is equal to the given limit. do not evaluate the limit.
The obtained limit is identical to the limit that was specified. Therefore, the right answer is option C.
What is a region whose area is equal to the given limit?Generally, the equation for the limit is mathematically given as
\($\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{4}{n} \sqrt{1+\frac{4 i}{n}}$.\)
The goal is to locate the zone whose area corresponds to the value supplied by the limit.
The definite integral of a function is what is used to compute the area of that function that is underneath its graph.
The limit,
\(\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{i=1}^{n} f(a+i \cdot \Delta x) \Delta x\)
where\($\Delta x=\frac{b-a}{n}$\) and \($x_{i}=a+i \Delta x$\) for the interval $[a, b]$, is equivalent to the integral
\(\int_{a}^{b} f(x) d x .\)
The given limit can also be written as
\(\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{i=1}^{n} \sqrt{1+\left(\frac{4}{n}\right)} i \cdot \frac{4}{n} .\)
In this limit, \($\Delta x=\frac{4}{n}$\). It can be observed that\($f(a+i \Delta x)=\sqrt{1+\left(\frac{4}{n}\right)} i$\) which implies that \($a=1$ and $f(x)=\sqrt{x}$.\)
Solve the \($\Delta x=\frac{b-a}{n}$\)equation for as follows:
\(\begin{aligned}\frac{4}{n} &=\frac{b-1}{n} \\4 &=b-1 \\5 &=b\end{aligned}\)
Therefore, the specified limit may be expressed as an integral as follows:
\(\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{i=1}^{n} \sqrt{1+\left(\frac{4}{n}\right) i} \cdot \frac{4}{n}=\int_{1}^{5} \sqrt{x} d x\)
Therefore, the limit that has been provided designates the area of the graph of "sqrt(x)" on the interval.[1,5]
However, none of the available choices are compatible with this choice. So, consider
\(a=0, f(x)=\sqrt{1+x}$ and $\Delta x=\frac{4}{n}$.\)
Find the value of $b$ as:
\($$\begin{aligned}\frac{4}{n} &=\frac{b-0}{n} \\4 &=b\end{aligned}$$\)
Find the value of x_{i} as:
\(\begin{aligned}&x_{i}=0+\frac{4}{n} i \\&x_{i}=\frac{4}{n} i\end{aligned}\)
$$
Thus, the integral \($\int_{0}^{4} \sqrt{1+x} d x$\) can be expressed using the equation \($\int_{a}^{b} f(x) d x=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{i=1}^{n} f\left(x_{i}\right) \Delta x$\)
\(\begin{aligned}\int_{0}^{4} \sqrt{1+x} d x &=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{i=1}^{n} \sqrt{1+\frac{4 i}{n} \frac{4}{n}} \\&=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{4}{n} \sqrt{1+\frac{4 i}{n}}\end{aligned}\)

Mopeds (small motorcycles with an engine capacity below 50 cm3) are very popular in europe because of their mobility, ease of operation, and low cost. suppose the maximum speed of a moped is normally distributed with mean value 46.8 km/h and standard deviation 1.75 km/h. consider randomly selecting a single such moped. a button hyperlink to the salt program that reads: use salt. (a) what is the probability that maximum speed is at most 50 km/h? (round your answer to four decimal places.) ___
(b) what is the probability that maximum speed is at least 49 km/h? (round your answer to four decimal places.) ___
(c) what is the probability that maximum speed differs from the mean value by at most 1.5 standard deviations? (round your answer to four decimal places.) ___
(a) We need to find P(X ≤ 50), where X is the maximum speed of a moped. We have:
μ = 46.8 km/h
σ = 1.75 km/h
Using standardization, we get:
Z = (X - μ) / σ
Z follows a standard normal distribution. Therefore,
P(X ≤ 50) = P(Z ≤ (50 - μ) / σ)
= P(Z ≤ (50 - 46.8) / 1.75)
= P(Z ≤ 1.8286)
= 0.9641 (rounded to four decimal places)
Therefore, the probability that the maximum speed is at most 50 km/h is 0.9641.
(b) We need to find P(X ≥ 49). Using standardization, we get:
P(X ≥ 49) = P(Z ≥ (49 - μ) / σ)
= P(Z ≥ (49 - 46.8) / 1.75)
= P(Z ≥ 1.2571)
= 0.1038 (rounded to four decimal places)
Therefore, the probability that the maximum speed is at least 49 km/h is 0.1038.
(c) We need to find P(|X - μ| ≤ 1.5σ). Using standardization, we get:
P(|X - μ| ≤ 1.5σ) = P(-1.5 ≤ (X - μ) / σ ≤ 1.5)
= P(-1.5 ≤ Z ≤ 1.5)
= P(Z ≤ 1.5) - P(Z ≤ -1.5)
= 0.8664 - 0.0668
= 0.7996 (rounded to four decimal places)
Therefore, the probability that the maximum speed differs from the mean value by at most 1.5 standard deviations is 0.7996.

Since x and 3x both have x, you can add them together to get 4x (if there is x by itself, it really means that there is one of it, so it would be 1x.)
Then, you subtract 7x by 4x, which gives you the answer, 3x. You could also solving it by asking yourself: What number plus 4x equals 7x, which would give you 3x.
which of the following best explans why the monopolists marginal revenue is less than the sales price
Monopolists are firms that have control over the supply of a particular product or service in a market. Due to this control, they can charge higher prices than competitive firms, which can result in lower quantities sold.
One reason why a monopolist's marginal revenue is less than the sales price is due to the downward-sloping demand curve. As the monopolist increases its sales price, the quantity demanded decreases. This means that the revenue generated from each additional unit sold is lower than the revenue generated from the previous unit sold. In other words, the marginal revenue earned from each unit sold is less than the sales price. This occurs because the monopolist must lower the price of all units sold to sell additional units, which lowers the average revenue earned per unit.
To illustrate this, imagine a monopolist that sells widgets for $10 each. If the monopolist lowers the price to $9, it may sell 10 widgets, resulting in revenue of $90 ($9 x 10). However, if the monopolist maintains the $10 price and only sells 9 widgets, the revenue is $90 ($10 x 9). In this case, the marginal revenue for the 9th unit sold is $0, which is less than the sales price of $10. This is because the monopolist must lower the price of all units sold to sell the additional unit, resulting in a decrease in average revenue per unit. Overall, the monopolist's marginal revenue is less than the sales price due to the downward-sloping demand curve and the need to lower prices to sell additional units.
A monopolist, unlike firms in a competitive market, has significant market power due to the absence of competition. This allows the monopolist to control the market price of their product by adjusting the quantity supplied. When a monopolist wants to sell an additional unit, they must lower the sales price for all units, including the ones already being sold. This is because the demand curve faced by a monopolist is downward-sloping, meaning that in order to sell more units, the monopolist has to decrease the price.
Marginal revenue refers to the additional revenue gained from selling one more unit of the product. As the monopolist lowers the sales price to sell more units, two things happen: the revenue increases from the additional unit sold, but there is also a loss in revenue from the units that were sold at a higher price before the price reduction.
As a result, the marginal revenue is less than the sales price, since it takes into account not only the revenue from the additional unit sold but also the loss of revenue from lowering the price of all units. This relationship between the monopolist's pricing strategy and marginal revenue is a key factor in determining the monopolist's profit-maximizing level of output and price.
