Answer:

50 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram is attached below.

Theorem: The Exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angles.

By the theorem stated above:

m∠3+m∠5=m∠1

2x+20+30=3x

3x-2x=50

x=50

The value of x is 50 degrees.

The volume of a cone is 3rx? cubic units and its height is x units. Which expression represents the radius of the cone's base, i

Marianna [84]

Answer:

It is given that the volume of a cone = $3\pi x^3$ cubic units

Volume of cone with radius 'r' and height 'h' = $\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

Equating the given volumes, we get

$3\pi x^3=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

$r^2h=3$ × $3x^3$

$r^2h=9 x^3$

It is given that the height is 'x' units.

Therefore, $r^2x=9x^3$

$r^2=9x^2$

Therefore, $r=3 x$

So, the expression ' $3 x$ ' represents the radius of the cone's base in units.

Modeling Exponential Growth and Decay In Exercises 119 and 120, Find the exponential function

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

There is no exponential function passing through (1,1) and (5,5).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following exponential function

$y = Ce^{kt}$

The function passes through these two points:

(1,1): This means that when t = 1, y = 1

(5,5): This means that when t = 5, y = 5.

(1,1)

$y = Ce^{kt}$

$Ce^{k} = 1$

$e^{k} = \frac{1}{C}$

(5,5)

$y = Ce^{kt}$

$5Ce^{k} = 1$

$Ce^{k} = \frac{1}{5}$

From above, we have that:

$e^{k} = \frac{1}{C}$

$C\frac{1}{C} = \frac{1}{5}$

$1 = \frac{1}{5}$

1 cannot be equal to 1/5, so this is wrong.

This means that there is no exponential function passing through (1,1) and (5,5).

An unfair coin with Pr[H] = 0.2 is flipped. If the flip results in a head, a marble is selected at random from a urn containin

satela [25.4K]

Normally when dealing with coins the probability of getting heads or tails is 0.5 each. However in this case since its an unfair coin, the probability of getting heads is 0.2.
H - head
T - tails
R - red marble
pr (H) = 0.2
urn
6 red and 4 blue
pr (T) = 0.8
urn
3 red and 5 blue

when heads is obtained
red - 6/10 -0.6
blue - 4/10 - 0.4
therefore when multiplying with 0.2 probability of getting heads
pr (R ∩ H) red - 0.6*0.2 = 0.12

when tails is obtained
red - 3/8 - 0.375
blue - 5/8 - 0.625
when multiplying with 0.8 probability of getting tails
pr (R ∩ T) red - 0.375 * 0.8 = 0.3

using bayes rule the answer can be found out,
the following equation is used;
pr (H | R) = pr (R ∩ H) / {pr (R ∩ H) + pr (R ∩ T)}
= 0.12 / (0.12 + 0.3)
= 0.12 / 0.42
= 0.286
the final answer is 0.286

If ab = 20 cm and bc = 4 cm, then what are the possible lengths for ac so that ab, bc and ac can form a triangle?

telo118 [61]

16<ac<24
If it is less than 16 it will not form a triangle and if it is more than 24 the other two legs will not be larger than ac is.
