Since the specific conclusion is based on a general premise, this is a case of deductive reasoning.

<h3>What is deductive reasoning?</h3>

The term deductive reasoning has to do with the process of arriving at a specific conclusion based on a more general premise.

In this case, the conclusion arrived at was based on the fact that Mia saw a general sign that read that 3 grapefruit cost $2.50. Hence, this is a case of deductive reasoning.

g Two teams compete in the NBA (National Basketball Associa- tion) championshipseries. The team who wins four games out of seven

Firlakuza [10]

Answer: The required probability is 0.32.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability of winning team A over B = 0.7

Probability of losing team A over B = 0.3

Number of matches = 7"

So, using the "Binomial distribution" :

We get that

$P(X=5)=^7C_5(0.7)^5(0.3)^2=0.32$

Hence, the required probability is 0.32.

Find the rational zeros of the polynomial function, f(x)= 4x^3-8x^2-19x-7

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

The rational zero of the polynomial are $\pm \frac{7}{4}, \pm \frac{1}{4},\pm \frac{7}{2},\pm \frac{1}{2},\pm 7,\pm 1$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial as :

f(x) = 4 x³ - 8 x² - 19 x - 7

Now the ration zero can be find as

$\dfrac{\textrm factor of P}{\textrm factor Q}$ ,

where P is the constant term

And Q is the coefficient of the highest polynomial

So, From given polynomial , P = -7 , Q = 4

Now , $\dfrac{\textrm factor of \pm P}{\textrm factor of \pm Q}$

I.e $\dfrac{\textrm factor of \pm P}{\textrm factor of \pm Q}$ = $\frac{\pm 7 , \pm 1}{\pm 4 ,\pm 2,\pm 1 }$

Or, The rational zero are $\pm \frac{7}{4}, \pm \frac{1}{4},\pm \frac{7}{2},\pm \frac{1}{2},\pm 7,\pm 1$

Hence The rational zero of the polynomial are $\pm \frac{7}{4}, \pm \frac{1}{4},\pm \frac{7}{2},\pm \frac{1}{2},\pm 7,\pm 1$ . Answer

Answer:

AB = 8/ cos 60

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the hypotenuse AB

Since we have a right triangle

cos theta = adj/ hyp

cos 60 = 8/ AB

AB cos 60 = 8

AB = 8/ cos 60
