Suppose a ramp 2 ft high makes an angle of 4.8° with the ground. Find the length of the ramp.​

Answer:

23.9 ft (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the sine trig ratio to find the length of the ramp.

\sf \sin(\theta)=\dfrac{O}{H}

where:

  • \theta is the angle
  • O is the side opposite the angle
  • H is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)

Given:

  • \theta = 4.8°
  • O = height of ramp = 2 ft
  • H = length of ramp

Substituting the given values into the formula and solving for H:

\implies \sf \sin(4.8^{\circ})=\dfrac{2}{H}

\implies \sf H=\dfrac{2}{\sin(4.8^{\circ})}

\implies \sf H=23.9\:ft\:(nearest\:tenth)

suppose that the lifetime of a transistor is a gamma random variable x with mean of 24 weeks and standard deviation of 12 weeks.
emmainna [20.7K]

The probability that the transistor will last between 12 and 24 weeks is 0.424

X= lifetime of the transistor in weeks E(X)= 24 weeks

O,= 12 weeks

The anticipated value, variance, and distribution of the random variable X were all provided to us. Finding the parameters alpha and beta is necessary before we can discover the solutions to the difficulties.

X~gamma(\alpha ,\beta)

E(X)= \alpha \beta                 \beta= 12^{2}/24=6 weeks

V(x)= \alpha \beta ^{2}                \alpha=24/6= 4

Now we can find the solutions:

The excel formula used to create Figure one is as follows:

=gammadist(X, \alpha, \beta, False)

P(12\leq X\leq 24)

P(12/6\leq G\leq 24/6)

P(2\leq G\leq 4)

P= 0.424

Therefore, probability that the transistor will last between 12 and 24 weeks is 0.424

Determine the solution set of (2x - 5)2 = 11.
zhenek [66]
I think what you meant was

(2x - 5)² = 11 -- (1)

Square root both sides of (1), i.e.

√(2x - 5)² = ± √11 -- (2)

From (2), we have

2x - 5 = ± √11 -- (3)

By adding 5 to both sides in (3), we have

2x = 5 ± √11 -- (4)

Divide both sides of (4) by 2, and we obtain

x = (5 ± √11)/2 -- (5)

From (5), the solution set of (1) is

x = (5 + √11)/2, (5 - √11)/2 ...Ans.

What irrational number can be added to pi to get a sum that is rational
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer is  -pi

Let x be this unknown number. Adding on x to pi gets us the expression x+pi

If we set x+pi equal to zero (which is a rational number) and solve for x, we get

x+pi = 0

x+pi - pi = 0 - pi

x = -pi

so adding pi to -pi will lead to 0 since

x+pi = -pi+pi = 0
