Answer:

4√3.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the height is h then

tan 60 = h / (1/2*8)

tan 60 = h/4

h = 4 tan 60

= 4 * √3.

A teacher student committee consisting of 4 people is to be formed from 5 teachers and 20 students. Find the probability that th

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

99.96%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the information:

5 teachers

20 students

4 people in committee

=> the are 25 people in total

Hence, the total possible outcomes of all the members in the 4 committee:

$C^{4} _{25} = 12650$

They want us to find the probability that the committee will consist of at least one student, which means that

=(Total possible outcome - committee with no student) / Total possible outcomes

So we need to find the possible outcomes of committee with no student:

= $C^{4} _{5} =5$

=> the probability that the committee will consist of at least one student.

= (12650 - 5) / 12650

= 0.9996

= 99.96%

Hope it will find you well.

Determine whether or not F is a conservative vector field. If it is, find a function f such that F = ∇f. (If the vector field is

Elis [28]

In order for F to be conservative, there must be a scalar function f such that the gradient of f is equal to F. This means

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=3x^2-2y^2$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=4xy+4$

Integrate both sides of the first equation with respect to x :

$f(x,y)=x^3-2xy^2+g(y)$

Differentiate both sides with respect to y :

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=-4xy+\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dy}=4xy+4\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dy}=8xy+4$

But we assume g is a function of y, which means its derivative can't possibly contain x, so there is no scalar function f whose gradient is F. Therefore F is not conservative.

Two mechanics worked on the car the first mechanic work for five hours in a sec mechanic work for 15 hours together the tires a

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Mechanic 1: $55 per hour

Mechanic 2: $105 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the rate of the first mechanic with x and the second with y.

So, we have:

$x + y = 160$

The total earnings is: $1850, so we have:

$5x + 15y = 1850$

Required

Determine the rate of each

The equations are:

$x + y = 160$ --- (1)

$5x + 15y = 1850$ --- (2)

Divide (2) through by 5

$x + 3y = 370$ --- (3)

Subtract (1) from (3)

$x - x + 3y - y = 370 - 160$

$2y = 210$

Divide through by 2

$y = \frac{210}{2}$

$y = 105$

Substitute 105 for y in (1)

$x + y = 160$

Make x the subject

$x = 160 - y$

Substitute 105 for y

$x = 160 - 105$

$x = 55$

Hence:

Mechanic 1: $55 per hour

Mechanic 2: $105 per hour
