Answer:

b = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Your equation is ...

(5^3)b -1 = 5^b -3

This is a mix of exponential and linear terms, and cannot be solved algebraically.

___

We suspect you might mean ...

5^(3b -1) = 5^(b -3)

We can equate the exponents to find a value for b:

3b -1 = b -3

2b = -2 . . . . add 1-b to both sides

b = -1 . . . . . . divide by 2

NISA [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question.

Dominique, Marco, Roberto , and John work for a publishing company. The company wants to send two employees to a statistics conference. To be fair, the company decides that the two individuals who get to attend will have their names drawn from a hat. This is like obtaining a simple random sample of size 2. (a) Determine the sample space of the experiment. That is, list all possible simple random samples of size n = 2. (b) What is the probability that Dominique and Marco attend the conference? (c) What is the probability that John attends the conference? (d) What is the probability that John stays home?

Since there are four employees to select the two to send from. then for us to get the sample space for the experiment we need to merge all possible two employees and represent them as set.

Let D = Dominique, M = Marco, R = Roberto and J = John

a) The sample space for the experiment is the total number of possible outcomes that we can have. It is as given below

S = 4C2 = 4!/(4-2)!2! (Selecting 2 out of 4 employees)

Total sample space = 4!/2!2!

Total sample space = 4*3*2!/2!2

Total sample space = 12/2 = 6

The sample space are S = {DM, DR, DJ, MR, MJ, RJ}

b) Probability is the ratio of number of event to the sample space.

P = n(E)/n(S)

Given n(S) = 6

n(E) is the event of Dominique and Marco attending the conference.

E = {DM}

n(E) = 1

P(D and M) = 1/6

Hence the probability that Dominique and Marco attend the conference is 1/6

c) For John to attend the conference, the event outcome will be given as;

E = {DJ, MJ, RJ}

n(E) = 3

n(S) = 6

Probability for John to attend the conference is 3/6 = 1/2

d) Probability that John stays at home = 1 - Prob (John attends the conference)

Probability that John stays at home = 1 - 1/2

Probability that John stays at home = 1/2

Emir is standing in a treehouse and looking down at a swingset in the yard next door. The angle of depression from Emir's eyelin

boyakko [2]

<h3>Answer: 24 feet (Choice D)</h3>

=============================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below. The goal is to find x, which is the horizontal distance from the base of the tree to the swing set.

Focus on triangle BCD.

The angle B is roughly 30.26 degrees, and this is the angle of depression. This is the amount of degrees Emir must look down (when starting at the horizontal) to spot the swing set.

We know that he's 14 ft off the ground, which explains why AB = CD = 14.

The goal is to find BC = AD = x.

---------------------------

Again, keep your focus on triangle BCD.

We'll use the tangent ratio to say

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(B) = CD/BC

tan(30.26) = 14/x

x*tan(30.26) = 14

x = 14/tan(30.26)

x = 23.9965714046732

That value is approximate. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

That value rounds to 24 feet when rounding to the nearest whole foot.
