A diagram would surely help here.  But imagine that you stand at spot A and someone finds that your distance from the base of the building is 42 feet.  Call this point B.
 
Imagine a vertical line from that spot, straight up.  Label the top of this line C.

The acute angle at A is 67 degrees.  You want to find the height of the building, which would be the length of the "opposite side of triangle ABC."
The length of the "adjacent side of triangle ABC" would be 42 feet.

We don't know the length of the hypotenuse, altho' we could easilyl calculate it using the Pyth. Them.

We choose the tangent function to solve for the height of the building (which is the length of the opposite side. 

                                                                         height
By definition, tangent (67 degrees) = -------------------------------------
                                                                       42 feet

Find tan 67.  Multiply your result by 42 feet.  This product is the height of the building.

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function

P(X=7)=(8C7)(0.9)^7 (1-0.9)^{8-7}=0.3826  

P(X=8)=(8C8)(0.9)^8 (1-0.9)^{8-8}=0.4305  

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)=0.3826 +0.4305=0.8131

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts  

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest "number of automobiles with both headligths working", on this case we now that:  

X \sim Binom(n=8, p=0.9)  

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

And for this case we want to find this probability:

P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function

P(X=7)=(8C7)(0.9)^7 (1-0.9)^{8-7}=0.3826  

P(X=8)=(8C8)(0.9)^8 (1-0.9)^{8-8}=0.4305  

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)=0.3826 +0.4305=0.8131

Factor 27a^3 b^9+8c^18
Artemon [7]

Answer:

(3ab^3+2c^6)(9a^2b^6-6ab^3c^6+4c^12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Polynomial 27a^3 b^9+8c^18

Factoring the given polynomial

27a^3b^9 can be written as

=3^3.a^3.b^3^3

=(3ab^3)^3

Also 8c^18 can be written as

=2^3.c^6^3

=(2c^6)^3

Hence Polynomial 27a^3 b^9+8c^18 can be written as

=(3ab^3)^3+(2c^6)^3

Applying sum of cubes formula i.e. a^3 + b^3=(a+b)(a^2 – ab + b^2)

=(3ab^3+2c^6)(9a^2b^6-6ab^3c^6+4c^12) !

Two functions are shown at the top.
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of change is the slope

Function A:

Slope = change in y/Change in x

= (9-3)/(3-0) = 6/3 = 2

Function B:

Clearly the slope is 3

(y = mx + c, m is the slope)

Rate of change of B is more than A
