We may draw a vertical that bisects the vertex angle and the shorter side of the triangle, to form a right-triangle with the measurements:
hypotenuse = 8
length = 1.5

We may then apply:
sin(∅) = P / H
sin(∅) = 1.5 / 8
∅ = 10.8 ≈ 11°

This is half of the vertex angle, so the vertex angle is:
11 * 2 = 22°

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle ABC with vertices A(0, 0), B(0, 4), and C(6, 0) is dilated to form a triangle A'B'C' with vertices A′(0, 0), B′(0, 10), and C′(15, 0). If the center of dilation is point A or A' (the origin), then

$\dfrac{A'B'}{AB}=\dfrac{A'C'}{AC}.$

Since

AB=4;
A'B'=10;
AC=6;
A'C'=15,

then the scale factor of the dilation is

$k=\dfrac{10}{4}=\dfrac{15}{6}=2.5.$

What is the simplified form of the following expression?

USPshnik [31]

Option C:

$$\frac{\sqrt[3]{100 x}}{5}=\sqrt[3]{\frac{4 x}{5}}$

Solution:

Given expression is

$$\sqrt[3]{\frac{4 x}{5}}$

Note: $\sqrt[3]{125}=\sqrt[3]{{5^3}} = 5$

To find the correct expression for the above simplified expression.

Option A: $\frac{\sqrt[3]{4 x}}{5}$

5 can be written as $\sqrt[3]{125}$ .

$$\frac{\sqrt[3]{4 x}}{5}=\frac{\sqrt[3]{4 x}}{\sqrt[3]{125} }$

$$=\sqrt[3]{\frac{4x}{125} }$

It is not the given simplified expression.

Option B: $\frac{\sqrt[3]{20 x}}{5}$

$$\frac{\sqrt[3]{20 x}}{5}=\frac{\sqrt[3]{20 x}}{\sqrt[3]{125} }$

$$=\sqrt[3]{\frac{20x}{125} }$

Cancel the common factor in both numerator and denominator.

$$=\sqrt[3]{\frac{4x}{25} }$

It is not the given simplified expression.

Option C: $\frac{\sqrt[3]{100 x}}{5}$

$$\frac{\sqrt[3]{100 x}}{5}=\frac{\sqrt[3]{100 x}}{\sqrt[3]{125} }$

$$=\sqrt[3]{\frac{100x}{125} }$

Cancel the common factor in both numerator and denominator.

$$=\sqrt[3]{\frac{4 x}{5}}$

It is the given simplified expression.

Option D: $\frac{\sqrt[3]{100 x}}{125}$

$$\frac{\sqrt[3]{100 x}}{125}=\frac{\sqrt[3]{100 x}}{5^3}$

It is not the given simplified expression.

Hence Option C is the correct answer.

$$\frac{\sqrt[3]{100 x}}{5}=\sqrt[3]{\frac{4 x}{5}}$

"the life length x (in years) of a dvd player" is exponentially distributed with mean 5 years. what is the probability that a mo

loris [4]

The exponential distribution is:
$\lambda e^{- \lambda x}$
where $\lambda = \frac{1}{mean}=\frac{1}{5}$

The probability we want is how likely will a dvd player last more than 8 years, given it has already lasted 5 years
To find this, you use conditional probability.
$P(A|B) = \frac{P(A and B)}{P(B)}$
where A is P(x>8) and B is P(x>5)
To find these probabilities, integrate over the distribution:
$P(x \ \textgreater \ N) = \int_N^{\infty} \frac{1}{5} e^{-x/5} dx = e^{-N/5}$

Sub into conditional probability formula:

$P(x \ \textgreater \ 8 | x\ \textgreater \ 5) = \frac{P(x\ \textgreater \ 8)}{P(x\ \textgreater \ 5)} = \frac{e^{-8/5}}{e^{-5/5}} = e^{-3/5} = 0.549$

Final Answer: Given a dvd player is more than 5 years old, the probability that it will last another 3 more years is about 54.9%
