Answer:

0.7 = 70%.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5 cans, and she will pick 2, so the number of possibilities that she can pick 2 cans is a combination of 5 choose 2:

C(5,2) = 5!(3!*2!) = 5*4/2 = 10

To find how many possibilities there are with at least 1 can of soup, we can find the number of groups that include no cans of soup, and then see how many possibilities complete the total 10:

There are 3 "no-soup" cans, so the number of possibilities is a combination of 3 choose 2:

C(3,2) = 3!/2! = 3

So, there are 3 possibilities that have no cans of soup, so the number of possibilities that have at least 1 can of soup is 10 - 3 = 7

Then, the probability is 7 / 10 = 0.7 = 70%.

A line has a slope of $-\frac{3}{7},$ and its $y$-intercept is $(0,18)$. What is its $x$-intercept?
puteri [66]

Answer:

(42, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know the slope and y-intercept we can write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form which is y = mx + b; therefore, the equation is y = -3/7x + 18. To find the x-intercept, we just plug in y = 0 which becomes:

0 = -3/7x + 18

-18 = -3/7x

x = 42

Tanx cosx = 0
shtirl [24]
You're almost finished.

(sin/cos) times cos = 0

Look at the left side.  You could write it as (sin x cos) / cos = 0
and simply divide numerator and denominator by the cosine (cancel it).

Then what do you have left ? . . .  <u>sin(x) = 0</u>       Do I need to finish this for you ?
