The distance between the start and end points is 28.3 miles.

<h3>How to find the distance?</h3>

Remember that the distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is:

d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_2 -y_1)^2}

Here the initial point is (0mi, 0mi).

If we define the north as positive y-axis and east as the positive x-axis, after that Thomas travels 24 miles north and 15 miles west his new position is:

(-15mi, 24mi).

The distance is then:

d = \sqrt{(-15mi - 0mi)^2 + (24mi - 0mi)^2} = 28.3mi

You invested $1,200 in a mutual fund. Your account now has a value of $1,333. what was your gain?
OleMash [197]
You have invested 1200 dollars in your mutual fund and now gained 1333 dollars. First let's solve how much money added to your investment.
=> 1333 - 1200 = 133 dollars was added to your account
=> 133 / 1200 = 0.11 
Next, lets convert this to decimal value.
=> 0.11 * 100% = 11% was added to you investment.

as Saturn revolves around the sun, it travels at a speed of approximately 6 miles per second. convert this speed to miles per mi
3241004551 [841]

Given:

Speed = 6 miles per second

If the Saturn revolves 6 miles in 1 second then the speed is:

\begin{gathered} In\text{ 1 second distance is 6 miles} \\ So\text{ in 60 second distance is =6}\times60\text{ miles} \\ =360 \end{gathered}

So speed in minutes is 360 miles per min.

In 3 minutes traveling distance is:

\begin{gathered} =360\times3 \\ =1080 \end{gathered}

A. 40x^2 + 240x + 200
Shape: Rectangle
Formula: A = LW
A = (10x + 10)(4x + 20)
= (10x)(4x) + (10x)(20) + (10)(4x) + (10)(20)
= 40x^2 + 200x + 40x + 200
= 40x^2 + 240x + 200

2. 57,600 ft^2
Width:
4x + 20 = 160
4x = 140
x = 35
Plug-In:
10x + 10
10(35) + 10
350 + 10
360 = Length

A = LW
A = 360 • 160
A = 57,600 ft^2

Can you help me with number 6? <br> Confused abit <br> Please
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

You can see the three diagram attached. Each link is labeled with the probability: you have probability 1/6 that a six is rolled, and 5/6 that it is not rolled.


To answer the questions, find the path that brings you to the desired outcome, and multiply all the labels you meet.


First question:

To get three sixes, you have to choose the left path at each roll. The probability is always 1/6, so the answer is


\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{6^3}


Second question:

To get no sixes, you have to choose the right path at each roll. The probability is always 5/6, so the answer is


\frac{5}{6} \times \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{5}{6} = \frac{5^3}{6^3}


Third question:

To get exactly one six, it can either be the first, second or third roll.


In all cases, you have to choose the left path once and the right path twice: left-right-right mean that you get the six in the first roll, right-left-right means that you get the six in the second roll, right-right-left means that you get the six in the third roll.


In every case, the left turn has probability 1/6, and the right turn has probability 5/6. The probability of each combination is thus


\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{5}{6} = \frac{5^2}{6^3}


And since there are three of these combinations, The answer is


3\frac{5^2}{6^3}


Fourth question:

Since the question suggests to use what we already achieved, let's do it: having at least one six is the complementary event of having no sixes at all. If an event has probability p, its complementary has probability 1-p. So, since the probability of no sixes is known, the probability of at least one six is


1 - \frac{5^3}{6^3}
