$\lim_{x \to \pi /4} \frac{tan x - 1}{x- \pi /4} = \frac{0}{0}$
With L` Hospital`s Rule ( ( tan x ) ` = 1/ cos^2 x ) :
$\lim_{x \to \pi /4} \frac{1}{cos ^{2} x} = \\ = \frac{1}{cos ^{2} ( \pi /4)} = \\ \frac{1}{1/2}$ = 2

Three shooters shoot at the same target, each of them shoots just once.The first one hits the target with a probability of 50%,

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Let X be the number of times the target is hit. The probability P(X≥1) then equals 1 minus the probability of missing the target three times:

P(X≥1) = 1− (1−P(A)) (1−P(B)) (1−P(C))

= 1−0.4*0.3*0.2

= 0.976

To find the probability P(X≥2) of hitting the target at least twice, you can consider two cases: either two people hit the target and one does not, or all people hit the target. We find:

P(X≥2)=(0.4*0.7*0.8)+(0.6*0.3*0.8)+(0.6*0.7*0.2)+(0.6*0.7*0.8) = 0.788

What was Mike's average rate of descent over his last three hours?

Romashka [77]

Answer:

The average rate of descent over the last 3 hours is 1000 ft/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of Change

It's usually referred to as to the variation that one magnitude has in reference to another. The reference magnitude can be time t. The rate of change is calculated as the slope of the curve that represents the function.

The image shows the variation of Mike's height above sea level in feet with time in hours. We need to calculate the rate of change in the last three hours (from 7 to 10).

The rate of change can be calculated with the slope of the line, which formula is:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{h_2-h_1}{t_2-t_1}$
