Suppose Galileo and his assistant were 1 km apart when Galileo uncovered his lantern to try to measure the speed of light. How l

Damm [24]

There are many theories and measurement for the speed of light. It is believed that light travels at 299,792 km per second. In the earlier day philosopher Aristotle believed that light didn't travel but happens instantaneously. Therefore, for Galileo and his assistant to be only 1km apart, I would have to agree with Aristotle theory of light traveling instantaneously.

Solve. (K+1)(k-5)=0<br> Explin how to solve ???

Anna71 [15]

Alright remember, if any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to 0, the entire expression will be equal to 0.
k+1=0
k-5=0
Set the first factor equal to 0 and solve
k=-1
Set the next factor equal to 0 and solve
k=5
The final solution is all the values that make (k+1)(k-5)=0 true.
k=-1, 5

Hope this helped you out :)

How to solve this equation

mariarad [96]

$\bf \sqrt{5x+19}-4=3x-15
\\\\
\sqrt{5x+19}=3x-15+4\\\\ \sqrt{5x+19}=3x-11\leftarrow \textit{square both sides}
\\\\
(\sqrt{5x+19})^2=(3x-11)^2
\\\\
5x+19=(3x-11)^2\qquad 
\begin{cases}
(3x-11)^2\to (3x-11)(3x-11)\\
 --------------\\
\textit{or use FOIL to expand it}
\end{cases}$

then solve for "x"

At a certain high school, 15 students play stringed instruments and

Aleks [24]

Answer:

<em>0</em> is the probability that a randomly selected student plays both a stringed and a brass instrument.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of students who play stringed instruments, N(A) = 15

Number of students who play brass instruments, N(B) = 20

Number of students who play neither, N( $A \cup B$ )' = 5

<u>To find:</u>

The probability that a randomly selected students plays both = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

Total Number of students = N(A)+N(B)+N( $A \cup B$ )' =15 + 20 + 5 = 40

(As there is no student common in both the instruments we can simply add the three values to find the total number of students)

As per the venn diagram, no student plays both the instruments i.e.

$N(A\cap B) =0$

Formula for probability of an event E can be observed as:

$P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}$

$P(A\cap B) = \dfrac{N(A\cap B)}{N(U)}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{0}{40}\\\Rightarrow P(A\cap B) = 0$

So, <em>0</em> is the probability that a randomly selected student plays both a stringed and a brass instrument.
