Answer:

(C) 245 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We can view the starting and ending flight points as the hypotenuse of a right-angle triangle. Since the plane flew 125 miles south, the height of the triangle is 125 and we are given the hypotenuse as 275

If we designate the height as a and the hypotenuse as h, and the base as b then
h² = a² + b²  by the Pythagorean  theorem

or

b² = h² - a² ==> (h + a)(h - a)   {x² - y² = (x + y) (x -y)}

Substituting known values
b² = 275² - 125² = (275 + 125)(275-125) = 400 x 150 = 60,000

b =  √60000 = 244.94 and the closest answer is C: 245 miles

antoniya [11.8K]

The complete question is;

Five people buy individual insurance policies. According to the research, the probability of each of these people not filing a claim for at least 5 years is 2/3.

The probability that all 5 have not filed a claim after 5 years is A: 0.132 B: 0.868 C: 1 , and the probability that exactly 3 will have filed a claim after 5 years is A: 0.016 B: 0.033 C: 0.067

Answer:

1) P(all 5 file no claim after 5 years) = 0.132

2) P(exactly 3 file claim after 5 years) = 0.033

Step-by-step explanation:

1) we are told that the probability of each of these people not filing a claim for at least 5 years is 2/3.

Thus, for all 5 of them,

The probability will be;

P(all 5 file no claim after 5 years) = (2/3)^5 = 0.1317 ≈ 0.132

2) since probability of each not filing a claim for last 5 years = 2/3

Then probability of each filing a claim after 5 years = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3

So, P(exactly 3 file claim after 5 years) = (1/3)^3 ≈ 0.037.

The closest answer is 0.033.

Factor completely 15x^5 + 12x^4-24x^3-3x^2
diamong [38]

Answer:

3x^2 (5x^3 + 4x^2 - 8x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is 15x^5 + 12x^4-24x^3-3x^2

Here we have to find the GCF of all the above terms.

The GCF is 3x^2, let's take out 3x^2 and write the remaining terms in the parenthesis.

15x^5 + 12x^4-24x^3-3x^2

=3x^2 (5x^3 + 4x^2 - 8x - 1)

Therefore, the factors are 3x^2 and (5x^3 + 4x^2 -8x -1).

15x^5 + 12x^4-24x^3-3x^2 = 3x^2 (5x^3 + 4x^2 -8x -1)

Thank you.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle measures 6cm and one of its legs measures 3cm.Find the measure of the other leg. If necessary
belka [17]

Answer:

5.2

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

Where c is the length of hypotenuse

and a, b are lengths of the legs.

Put in 6 for c,

Put in 3 for a and you get 9+b^2=36

Subtract 9 from both sides and get b^2= 27

Then find the square root of both sides to get b, so the answer is the square root of 27.

The cloest square root is 5, then apporixmate the tenths value and see if they work.
