The length of the line joining points (x,4) and (-x,3) is 7 units. Find the value of x.

Maelezo ya Majibu

The problem provides us with two points, (x, 4) and (-x, 3), and tells us that the distance between them is 7 units. We need to find the value of x that satisfies this condition. To find the distance between two points, we can use the distance formula: d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2) where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points, and d is the distance between them. Using this formula, we can calculate the distance between the given points: d = sqrt((-x - x)^2 + (3 - 4)^2) d = sqrt(4x^2 + 1) We are given that this distance is equal to 7 units: sqrt(4x^2 + 1) = 7 To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. To do this, we will square both sides of the equation: 4x^2 + 1 = 49 Now we can solve for x: 4x^2 = 48 x^2 = 12 x = sqrt(12) = 2sqrt(3) Therefore, the value of x that satisfies the given conditions is 2sqrt(3), which is option D.

Given that P = (-4, -5) and Q = (2,3), express →PQ in the form (k,θ). where k is the magnitude and θ the bearing.

Maelezo ya Majibu

To find →PQ, we need to subtract the coordinates of point P from those of point Q, giving us: →PQ = Q - P = (2-(-4), 3-(-5)) = (6, 8) The magnitude, or length, of →PQ is found using the distance formula: k = √(6² + 8²) = √100 = 10 To find the bearing θ, we use trigonometry. The tangent of θ is the ratio of the opposite side (the change in y-coordinates) to the adjacent side (the change in x-coordinates): tan θ = 8/6 = 4/3 Using a calculator, we can find that θ is approximately 53.13º. However, we need to adjust this value depending on which quadrant →PQ lies in. Since both x and y are positive, →PQ lies in the first quadrant, so we don't need to make any adjustments. Therefore: θ = 53.13º So the vector →PQ can be expressed in the form (k,θ) as: (10 units, 53.13º) Therefore, the correct answer is (a) (10 units, 053º).

Which of the following is the semi-interquartile range of a distribution?

Maelezo ya Majibu

The semi-interquartile range is a measure of variability in a dataset. To calculate it, we first need to find the median of the dataset, which is the middle value when the data is arranged in order from lowest to highest. Then, we need to find the quartiles, which are the values that divide the dataset into four equal parts. The semi-interquartile range is half of the difference between the upper quartile and the lower quartile. The upper quartile is the value that separates the highest 25% of the data from the lowest 75%, while the lower quartile is the value that separates the lowest 25% of the data from the highest 75%. Looking at the given options, the formula that corresponds to the semi-interquartile range is: 1/2 (Upper Quartile - Lower Quartile) Therefore, the correct answer is option d) "1/2 (Upper Quartile - Lower Quartile)".

This is a question about vector addition. To find →PR, we need to add →PQ and →RQ, but in reverse order (→PR = →PQ + →RQ). Given →PQ = -2i + 5j and →RQ = -i - 7j, we can add them as follows: →PR = →PQ + →RQ →PR = (-2i + 5j) + (-i - 7j) →PR = -2i - i + 5j - 7j →PR = -3i - 2j Therefore, the answer is "-3i - 2j". Option (B) "-3i + 12j", (C) "-i + 12j", and (D) "i - 12j" are incorrect.
