Pythagorean theorem
25^2 = x^2 + x^2
so 625 = 2x^2
312.5 = x^2
17.68 = x
17.68 feet is your answer

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

B. $840

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Rate of simple interest = 3.5%

Principal amount = $12,000

Time = 2 year

To find:

Interest earned = ?

Solution:

Formula for Simple Interest is given as:

$S.I. = \dfrac{PRT}{100}$

Where P is the principal amount

R is the annual Rate of interest

T is the time for which principal was invested.

Here, we are given that:

P = $12,000

R = 3.5%

T = 2 years

Putting all the values in the formula:

$SI= \dfrac{12000\times 3.5 \times 2}{100}\\\Rightarrow SI= 12\times 35 \times 2\\\Rightarrow SI = \$840$

So, answer is:

B. $840

Softa [21]

Answer:

P(Y = 0) = 0.09

P(Y = 1) = 0.4

P(Y = 2) = 0.32

P(Y = 3) = 0.19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the events be:

$W =$ Wednesday

$T =$ Thursday

$F =$ Friday

$S =$ Saturday

Their corresponding probabilities are

$P(W) = 0.3\\P(T) = 0.4\\P(F) = 0.2\\P(S) = 0.1$

Since $Y$ = number of days beyond Wednesday that it takes for both magazines to arrive(so possible $Y$ values are 0, 1, 2 or 3)

The possible number of outcomes are therefore $4^2 = 16\\(W, W), (W, T), (W, F), (W, S)\\(T, W), (T, T), (T, F), (T, S)\\(F, W), (F, T), (F, F), (F, S)\\(S, W), (S, T), (S, F), (S, S)$

The values associated for each of the outcomes are as follows:

$Y(W, W) = 0, Y(W, T) = 1, Y(W, F) = 2, Y(W, S) = 3\\Y(T, W) = 1, Y(T, T) = 1, Y(T, F) = 2, Y(T, S) = 3\\Y(F, W) = 2, Y(F, T) = 2, Y(F, F) = 2, Y(F, S) = 3\\Y(S, W) = 3, Y(S, T) = 3, Y(S, F) = 3, Y(S, S) = 3$

The probability mass function of $Y$ is,

$P(Y = 0) = 0.3(0.3) = 0.09\\P(Y = 1) = P[(W, T) or (T, W) or (T, T)]\\= [0.3(0.4) + 0.3(0.4) + 0.4(0.4)]\\= 0.4\\\\P(Y = 2) = P[(W, F) or (T, F) or (F, W) or (F, T) or (F, F)]\\= [0.3(0.2) + 0.4(0.2) + 0.2(0.3) + 0.2(0.4) + 0.2(0.2)]\\= 0.32\\\\P(Y = 3) = P[(W, S) or (T, S) or (F, S) or (S, W) or (S, T) or (S, F) or (S, S)]\\= [0.3(0.1) + 0.4(0.1) + 0.2(0.1) + 0.1(0.3) 0.1(0.4) + 0.1(0.2) + 0.1(0.1)]\\= 0.19$

This is my next Trigonometry question I am needed help on- I just want to be sure I've got it right, or if not, then the steps I

makkiz [27]

$\bf \textit{simmetry identities}\\\\
sin(-\theta)=-sin(\theta)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
sin(-\theta)=\cfrac{1}{5}\implies -sin(\theta)=\cfrac{1}{5}\implies sin(\theta)=\cfrac{-1}{5}\cfrac{\leftarrow opposite=b}{\leftarrow hypotenuse=c}
\\\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{5^2-(-1)^2}=a
\\\\\\
\pm\sqrt{24}=a\implies \pm2\sqrt{6}=a$

so. hmm which is it? the +/- ? well, neverminding for a second, the value of tangent, just looking at the sign, the tangent is positive,

tangent = opposite/adjacent.... so that only happens, when both are the same sign, + or - both

now, we know the sine is -1/5.. if the sine is negative, the cosine also has t to be negative, so we'd use the -2√(6) = a

thus $\bf cos(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\implies cos(\theta)=\cfrac{-2\sqrt{6}}{5}$
