A woman has 7 keys. only one of them will open her door. when seh arrives at the door there is no sufficient light for her to fi

nd the correct key. if she tries one key at a time and discards the keys that don't work, what is the probability that she will open the door with the first key she picks? what is the probability that it will take exactly three attempts to open the door? suppose that the first three attempts to open the door have been unsuccessful. what is the probability that she will pick the right key the fourth time?

Since she has seven key the probability that the first one will open the door is
\frac{1}{7}
if it takes three attempts to open the door,the probability is
\frac{1}{3}
if the three attempts would not work
then the probability that the fourth attempt will open the door is
\frac{1}{4}
hope this helps

A basketball player shoots a basketball that reaches a height above 15 feet before landing back on the ground exactly after 7 se
Papessa [141]

Answer:

I and IV

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the height of the basketball reaches above 15 feet, hence the maximum of the function should be greater than 15 feet. Also at 7 seconds, the ball is on the ground, hence f(7) = 0 feet

The maximum of a function is at x = -b/2a

i) f(x) = -(x-3)² + 16 = -(x² - 6x + 9) + 16 = -x² + 6x + 7

The maximum of a function is at x = -b/2a = -6 / 2(-1) = 3

f(3) = -(3-3)² + 16 = 16 > 15

Also f(7) = - (7 - 3)² + 16 = 0

Hence this option is correct

ii) f(x) = -x² + 8x - 7

The maximum of a function is at x = -b/2a = -8 / 2(-1) = 4

f(4) = -4² + 8(4) - 7 = 9 < 15   not correct

Also f(7) = - 7² + 8(7) - 7 = 0

Hence this option is not correct since the maximum f(4) = 9 < 15  

iii)  f(x) = -(x-3)² + 14 = -(x² - 6x + 9) + 14 = -x² + 6x + 5

The maximum of a function is at x = -b/2a = -6 / 2(-1) = 3

f(3) = -(3-3)² + 14 = 14 < 15

Also f(7) = - (7 - 3)² + 14 = -2

Hence this option is not correct since the maximum f(4) = 9 < 15 and f(7) ≠ 0

iv)f(x)  = -x² + 6x + 7

The maximum of a function is at x = -b/2a = -6 / 2(-1) = 3

f(3) = -(3)² + 6(3) + 7 = 16 > 15

Also f(7) = - (7)² + 6(7) + 7 = 0

Hence this option is correct

The angle of depression from the top of a flag pole to a point on the ground is 30°. If the point on the ground is 75 feet from
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Height of flag pole to the nearest foot is 43 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In the diagram we have flag pole AB and C is the point on the ground.

It is given that angle of depression is 30°

and the distance of the point C from the base B is 75 feet

so we have

BC= 75 feet  

∠C = 30°

AB= h feet

now in right ΔABC

tan C = \frac{opposite \ side }{base} \\tan C=\frac{AB}{BC}

now we plug AB= h , ∠C= 30° and BC =75

tan 30= \frac{h}{75}

75 tan30 = h            ( multiply both sides by 75)

h= 75 tan 30 =75 (0.5773)\\ h= 43.3 feet\\

Height of flag pole to the nearest foot is

h= 43 feet
