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).

To find the probability that at least one student will graduate, we can calculate the probability that no student will graduate and then subtract that from 1. The probability that a student will not graduate from college is 1 - 0.4 = 0.6. So, the probability that none of the three selected students will graduate is: 0.6 * 0.6 * 0.6 = 0.216 Therefore, the probability that at least one student will graduate is: 1 - 0.216 = 0.784 So, the answer is 0.78. In summary, the probability that at least one student will graduate from college given that 3 students are selected is 0.784 or 0.78, which is obtained by subtracting the probability that none of the three students will graduate from 1.

To find the values of x for which 3f(x) = g(x), we need to substitute the given functions f(x) and g(x) and then solve for x. Substituting the function f(x) = 2x^2 + 3x - 7, we get: 3f(x) = 3(2x^2 + 3x - 7) = 6x^2 + 9x - 21 Substituting the function g(x) = 5x^2 + 7x - 6, we get: g(x) = 5x^2 + 7x - 6 Now we can set these two equations equal to each other and solve for x: 6x^2 + 9x - 21 = 5x^2 + 7x - 6 Subtracting 5x^2 and 7x from both sides, we get: x^2 + 2x - 15 = 0 Factoring this quadratic equation, we get: (x + 5)(x - 3) = 0 Therefore, the values of x that satisfy the equation 3f(x) = g(x) are x = -5 and x = 3. Hence, the answer is: x = -5 or 3.

To find the mean height of all the students, you need to add up the heights of all the students and divide by the total number of students. First, you need to find the total number of students, which is the sum of 20, 16 and 14 students, which is 50 students in total. Then, you need to find the total height of all the students by multiplying the number of students in each group by their respective mean height and adding them all up. Total height of all students = (20 x 1.67) + (16 x 1.50) + (14 x 1.40) = 33.4 + 24 + 19.6 = 77 meters Finally, to find the mean height of all the students, you need to divide the total height of all the students by the total number of students: Mean height of all students = Total height of all students / Total number of students = 77 / 50 = 1.54 meters Therefore, the answer is 1.54m.

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)".

To find the mode of the distribution, we need to identify the value with the highest frequency. In the table, the frequency is given for each distance (in km) covered by the hunters. Let's first find the frequency of distance 5 km covered by the hunters. From the table, we know that the sum of all frequencies should be equal to 40, the total number of hunters. Sum of frequencies = 5 + 4 + x + 9 + 2x + 1 = 40 Simplifying the equation, we get: 3x + 19 = 40 3x = 21 x = 7 Now we know that the frequency of distance 5 km is x = 7. The frequencies for the other distances are: - Frequency of distance 3 km = 5 - Frequency of distance 4 km = 4 - Frequency of distance 6 km = 9 - Frequency of distance 7 km = 2x = 14 - Frequency of distance 8 km = 1 The highest frequency is 14, which corresponds to the distance of 7 km. Therefore, the mode of the distribution is 7 km. Hence, the answer is option (C) 7.

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.
