The area of a square is (16x2 − 8x + 1) square units. Determine the length of each side of the square by factoring the area expression completely. Show your work.

The figure shows triangle def and line segment bc, which is parallel to ef: triangle def has a point b on side de and point c on side df. the line bc is parallel to the line ef. part a: is triangle def similar to triangle dbc? explain using what you know about triangle similarity. part b: which line segment on triangle dbc corresponds to line segment ef? explain your answer. part c: which angle on triangle dbc corresponds to angle f? explain your answer. asap

I've been working on this for a few days and i just don't understand, it's due in a few hours. you. the direction of a vector is defined as the angle of the vector in relation to a horizontal line. as a standard, this angle is measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis. the direction or angle of v in the diagram is α. part a: how can you use trigonometric ratios to calculate the direction α of a general vector v = < x, y> similar to the diagram? part b suppose that vector v lies in quadrant ii, quadrant iii, or quadrant iv. how can you use trigonometric ratios to calculate the direction (i.e., angle) of the vector in each of these quadrants with respect to the positive x-axis? the angle between the vector and the positive x-axis will be greater than 90 degrees in each case. part c now try a numerical problem. what is the direction of the vector w = < -1, 6 > ?

Given a normal distribution with µ =50 and σ =4, what is the probability that 5% of the values are less than what x values? between what two x values (symmetrically distributed around the mean) are 95 % of the values? instructions: show all your work as to how you have reached your answer. don’t simply state the results. show graphs where necessary.
