Answer:

y(x)=0.8x+2.1

x=12 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of miles covered and with a fixed charge of 2.1 irrespective of miles covered then the equation can be written as

y(x)=0.8x+2.1

Substituting y(x) with 11.7 then

11.7=0.8x+2.1

0.8x=11.7-2.1=9.6

X=9.6/0.8=12 miles

Which pair of numbers is relatively prime
Anna007 [38]
Without any calculations it's evident it can't be neither B (both numbers are even, so they're divisible by 2) nor C (the numbers end in 0 and 5, so they're divisible by 5).

A.
57=3\cdot19\\
96=2^5\cdot3
Both numbers have a factor of 3, so they're not relatively prime.
That means it must be D. But, let's check it.

143=11\cdot13\\
323=17\cdot19

Indeed, those two numbers are relatively prime.

: A personal computer manufacturer buys 36% of its chips from Japan and the rest from the United St...
meriva

Answer: 0.9862

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The probability that the chips belongs to Japan: P(J)= 0.36

The probability that the chips belongs to United States : P(U)= 1-0.36=0.64

The proportion of Japanese chips are defective : P(D|J)=0.017

The proportion of American chips are defective : P(D|U)=0.012

Using law of total probability , we have

P(D)=P(D|J)\times P(J)+P(D|U)\times P(U)\\\\\Rightarrow\ P(D)=0.017\times0.36+0.012\times0.64=0.0138

Thus , the probability that chip is defective = 0.0138

Then , the probability that a chip is defect-free=1-0.0138=0.9862

Find the longer leg of the triangle.
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Choice A. 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle in question is a right triangle.

  • The length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite to the right angle) is given.
  • The measure of one of the acute angle is also given.

As a result, the length of both legs can be found directly using the sine function and the cosine function.

Let \text{Opposite} denotes the length of the side opposite to the 30^{\circ} acute angle, and \text{Adjacent} be the length of the side next to this 30^{\circ} acute angle.

\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{Opposite} &= \text{Hypotenuse} \times \sin{30^{\circ}}\\ &=2\sqrt{3}\times \frac{1}{2} \\&= \sqrt{3}\end{aligned}.

Similarly,

\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{Adjacent} &= \text{Hypotenuse} \times \cos{30^{\circ}}\\ &=2\sqrt{3}\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \\&= 3\end{aligned}.

The longer leg in this case is the one adjacent to the 30^{\circ} acute angle. The answer will be 3.

There's a shortcut to the answer. Notice that \sin{30^{\circ}} < \cos{30^{\circ}}. The cosine of an acute angle is directly related to the adjacent leg. In other words, the leg adjacent to the 30^{\circ} angle will be the longer leg. There will be no need to find the length of the opposite leg.

Does this relationship \sin{\theta} < \cos{\theta} holds for all acute angles? (That is, 0^{\circ} < \theta?) It turns out that:

  • \sin{\theta} < \cos{\theta} if 0^{\circ} < \theta;
  • \sin{\theta} > \cos{\theta} if 45^{\circ} < \theta;
  • \sin{\theta} = \cos{\theta} if \theta = 45^{\circ}.
