Answer:

The direction of 5c + 4d is approximately 19.0° clockwise with

the positive part of x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets talk about the direction of a vector

- If the vector is (x , y), then  

# Its magnitude is √(x² + y²)

# Its direction is tan^-1 (y/x)

- The direction is the angle between the positive part of x-axis and  

  the vector

* Lets solve the problem

∵ c = (2.4 , 0.45) and d = (7 , -4)

- To find 5c + 4d , multiply the two coordinates of c by 5 and the two

  coordinates of d by 4

# Multiply c by 5

∴ 5c = [5(2.4) , 5(0.45)]

∴ 5c = (12 , 2.25)

# Multiply d by 4

∴ 4d = [4(7) , 4(-4)]

∴ 4d = (28 , -16)

- Lets add 5c and 4d

∴ 5c + 4d = (12 , 2.25) + (28 , -16)  

∴ 5c + 4d = [(12 + 28) , (2.25 + -16)]

∴ 5c + 4d = (40 , -13.75)

- The vector is in the 4th quadrant because the x-coordinate is

 positive and the y-coordinate is negative

* Find the direction of 5c + 4d

∵ The direction is tan^-1 (y/x)

∴ The direction is tan^-1 (-13.75/40) = -18.97°

* The direction of 5c + 4d is approximately 19.0° clockwise with

 the positive part of x-axis

Using it's concept, it is found that the probability that he winds up wearing the white shirt and tan pants is of \frac{1}{8}.

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

In this problem:

  • For the shirt, there is 4 outcomes, hence the probability of the white shirt is 1/4.
  • For the pair of pants, there are 2 outcomes, blue or tan, hence the probability of tan pants is 1/2.

Since the shirt and the pants are independent, the probability is given by:

p = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8}.

Un capital de 4000 lei este plasat în regim de dobândă simplă pe o perioadă de 3 ani cu rata dobânzii
9966 [12]

Answer:

960

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple interest formula is the following:

I = P*r*t

Where I is the interest generated after t years, P is the inicial value and r is the rate of interest.

In this case, we have that the inicial value is P = 4000, the rate of interest is r = 8% = 0.08 and the amount of time invested is t = 3 years.

So, the interest will be:

I = 4000*0.08*3 = 960
