Katena32 [7]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A) 41

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the hypotenuse be denoted by h

perpendicular as p and base as b

According to the Pythagoras theorem

h²=p²+b²

h =  \sqrt{ {p}^{2} +  {b}^{2}  }

h =   \sqrt{ {(40)}^{2}  +  {(9)}^{2} }

h =  \sqrt{1600 + 81}  =  \sqrt{1681}

h = 41

What is the maximum number of possible extreme values for the function, F(x)=x^4+x^3-7x^2-x+6?
Arturiano [62]

Coming from a 6th grader but I hope this is right!

Polynomials of degree greater than 2 can have more than one max or min value. The largest possible number of minimum or maximum points is one less than the degree of the polynomial. The following examples illustrate several possibilities.

since the degree is 4

number of possible extreme values = 4 -1 = 3

In a large population, 60 % of the people have been vaccinated. If 5 people are randomly selected, what is the probability that
Delvig [45]
<h3>Answer:    0.98976</h3>

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

Explanation:

60% of the people have been vaccinated, so 40% have not.

The probability of getting five people in a row that aren't vaccinated is (0.40)^5 = 0.01024

Subtract this from 1 to get the probability of at least one vaccinated person in the sample of five.

1-0.01024 = 0.98976

This works because the events "at least one vaccinated" and "none vaccinated" are complementary. One or the other must happen, which means the two probabilities add to 1.

9 is the difference between two numbers, and their sum is 31. Find the numbers.
algol [13]

Answer:

The first number is 20, the second one is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x and the second number be y

Since it says "9 is the difference between two numbers", the first equation will be x-y=9

It also says that "their sum is 31". That means the second equation will be x+y=31

here are the two equations:

x-y=9

x+y=31

You can solve this any way you like, but I'll show elimination

add the two equations

x-y=9

x+y=31

2x=40

divide by 2

x=20

Substitute 20 as x in one of the equations

20+y=31

subtract 20 from both sides

y=11

That means the two numbers are 20 and 11

Hope this helps!
