The number 10,000 written in scientific notation form is 1 × 10⁴.

<h3>What is the time length 10,000 written in scientific notation?</h3>

Given the number of years in the question;

10,000 years.

To write convert to scientific notation, move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point.

The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the 10.

If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative.

If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.

Hence;

10,000 ⇒ 1 × 10⁴

Therefore, the number 10,000 written in scientific notation form is 1 × 10⁴.

The mailing list of an agency that markets scuba-diving trips to the Florida Keys contains 78% males and 22% females. The agency

choli [55]

Answer:

a) 0.98% probability that 17 of the 29 people are men.

b) 3.86% probability that the first woman is reached on the 8th call

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person chosen by the agency, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is a man, or it is a woman. The probability of selecting a man or a women in each trial is independent from other trials. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

(a) What is the probability that 17 of the 29 people are men?

This is P(X = 17) when $n = 29, p = 0.78$ . So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 17) = C_{29,17}.(0.78)^{17}.(0.22)^{12} = 0.0098$

0.98% probability that 17 of the 29 people are men.

(b) What is the probability that the first woman is reached on the 8th call?

On the first 7 trials, all men, each with a 78% probability.

On the 8th trial, a women, with a 22% probability. So

$P = (0.78)^{7}*0.22 = 0.0386$

3.86% probability that the first woman is reached on the 8th call

What is the measure of L

Ber [7]

If j is 52° and its a right angle, add 90° and 52°. Then subtract 180° from that answer. Because all triangles add up to 180°.

Write the standard form of the equation of a line if the point on the line nearest to the origin is at (6, 8).

Alchen [17]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{4}{3}x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The line passes through the origin has an equation y = mx

m - slope

The formula of a slope of a line passes through the origin

and a point (x, y):

$m=\dfrac{y}{x}$

We have the point (6, 8). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{8}{6}=\dfrac{8:2}{6:2}=\dfrac{4}{3}$

Finally:

$y=\dfrac{4}{3}x$

If f(x)=x^3-x+2, then (f^-1)'(2)

yawa3891 [41]

Note that f(x) as given is <em>not</em> invertible. By definition of inverse function,

$f\left(f^{-1}(x)\right) = x$

$\implies f^{-1}(x)^3 - f^{-1}(x) + 2 = x$

which is a cubic polynomial in $f^{-1}(x)$ with three distinct roots, so we could have three possible inverses, each valid over a subset of the domain of f(x).

Choose one of these inverses by restricting the domain of f(x) accordingly. Since a polynomial is monotonic between its extrema, we can determine where f(x) has its critical/turning points, then split the real line at these points.

f'(x) = 3x² - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = ±1/√3

So, we have three subsets over which f(x) can be considered invertible.

• (-∞, -1/√3)

• (-1/√3, 1/√3)

• (1/√3, ∞)

By the inverse function theorem,

$\left(f^{-1}\right)'(b) = \dfrac1{f'(a)}$

where f(a) = b.

Solve f(x) = 2 for x :

x³ - x + 2 = 2

x³ - x = 0

x (x² - 1) = 0

x (x - 1) (x + 1) = 0

x = 0 or x = 1 or x = -1

Then $\left(f^{-1}\right)'(2)$ can be one of

• 1/f'(-1) = 1/2, if we restrict to (-∞, -1/√3);

• 1/f'(0) = -1, if we restrict to (-1/√3, 1/√3); or

• 1/f'(1) = 1/2, if we restrict to (1/√3, ∞)
