179 and 180

consecutive numbers have a difference of 1 between them

let the 2 numbers be n and n + 1, then

n + n + 1 = 359

2n + 1 = 359 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

2n = 358 ( divide both sides by 2 )

n = 179 and n + 1 = 179 + 1 = 180

the 2 pages are 179 and 180

Solve for x in the given interval. sec x= -2√3/3, for π/2 ≤x≤π

drek231 [11]

Answer:

b. $x=\frac{5\pi}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$\sec x=-\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3},\:\:for\:\:\frac{\pi}{2}\le x \le \pi$

Recall that the reciprocal of the cosine ratio is the secant ratio.

This implies that;

$\frac{1}{\cos x}=-\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3}$

$\Rightarrow \cos x=-\frac{3}{2\sqrt{3} }$

$\Rightarrow \cos x=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

We take the inverse cosine of both sides to obtain;

$x=\cos^{-1}(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})$

$x=\frac{5\pi}{6}$

What number is it? the difference of 9 and three times equals 69. find the number

Mazyrski [523]

Consider the number as 'n' (for now)
3n - 9 = 69
3n = 69 + 9
3n = 78
n = 78/3
n = 26

Multiply and Simplify (x-4)(x^2 - 5x - 6)

kirill [66]

Answer:

x^3 -9x^2 +14x +24

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-4)(x^2 - 5x - 6)

Multiply the x by everything in the second term

x * (x^2 - 5x - 6)

x^3 -5x^2 -6x

Multiply the -4 by everything in the second term

-4 * (x^2 - 5x - 6)

-4x^2 +20x +24

Add everything together

I like to line them up vertically

x^3 -5x^2 -6x

-4x^2 +20x +24

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

x^3 -9x^2 +14x +24

The manager of a music store has kept records of

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

(a) $P(x\le 3) = 0.75$

(b) $P(x\le 3) = 0.75$

(b) is the same as (a)

(d) $P(x = 1\ or\ 2) = 0.55$

(e) $P(x > 2) = 0.45$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\begin{array}{ccccccc}{CDs} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} & {6\ or\ more}\ \\ {Prob} & {0.30} & {0.25} & {0.20} & {0.15} & {0.05} & {0.05}\ \ \end{array}$

Solving (a): Probability of 3 or fewer CDs

Here, we consider:

$\begin{array}{cccc}{CDs} & {1} & {2} & {3} \ \\ {Prob} & {0.30} & {0.25} & {0.20} \ \ \end{array}$

This probability is calculated as:

$P(x\le 3) = P(1) + P(2) + P(3)$

This gives:

$P(x\le 3) = 0.30 + 0.25 + 0.20$

$P(x\le 3) = 0.75$

Solving (b): Probability of at most 3 CDs

Here, we consider:

$\begin{array}{cccc}{CDs} & {1} & {2} & {3} \ \\ {Prob} & {0.30} & {0.25} & {0.20} \ \ \end{array}$

This probability is calculated as:

$P(x\le 3) = P(1) + P(2) + P(3)$

This gives:

$P(x\le 3) = 0.30 + 0.25 + 0.20$

$P(x\le 3) = 0.75$

(b) is the same as (a)

Solving (c): Probability of 5 or more CDs

Here, we consider:

$\begin{array}{ccc}{CDs} & {5} & {6\ or\ more}\ \\ {Prob} & {0.05} & {0.05}\ \ \end{array}$

This probability is calculated as:

$P(x \ge 5) = P(5) + P(6\ or\ more)$

This gives:

$P(x\ge 5) = 0.05 + 0.05$

$P(x \ge 5) = 0.10$

Solving (d): Probability of 1 or 2 CDs

Here, we consider:

$\begin{array}{ccc}{CDs} & {1} & {2} \ \\ {Prob} & {0.30} & {0.25} \ \ \end{array}$

This probability is calculated as:

$P(x = 1\ or\ 2) = P(1) + P(2)$

This gives:

$P(x = 1\ or\ 2) = 0.30 + 0.25$

$P(x = 1\ or\ 2) = 0.55$

Solving (e): Probability of more than 2 CDs

Here, we consider:

$\begin{array}{ccccc}{CDs} & {3} & {4} & {5} & {6\ or\ more}\ \\ {Prob} & {0.20} & {0.15} & {0.05} & {0.05}\ \ \end{array}$

This probability is calculated as:

$P(x > 2) = P(3) + P(4) + P(5) + P(6\ or\ more)$

This gives:

$P(x > 2) = 0.20+ 0.15 + 0.05 + 0.05$

$P(x > 2) = 0.45$
