The last time (before August 21, 2017) when the lower 48 states saw a total solar eclipse was 1979.

That was 2017 - 1979 = 38 years ago.

In scientific notation,
38 = 3.8 x 10¹

Answer:  3.8 x 10¹ years ago.

<h3>Answer:  17/24</h3>

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

Explanation:

We have these four cases or possible outcomes

  • Case 1) We select 0 black marbles and 3 red marbles.
  • Case 2) We select 1 black marble and 2 red marbles.
  • Case 3) We select 2 black marbles and 1 red marble.
  • Case 4) We select 3 black marbles and 0 red marbles.

Let's calculate the probability for case 4.

There are 7 black marbles out of 10 total. The probability of picking black is 7/10. If no replacement is made, then 6/9 is the probability of picking black again (subtract 1 from the numerator and denominator separately). Finally, 5/8 is the probability of getting black a third time.

The probability of getting 3 black marbles in a row is

(7/10)*(6/9)*(5/8) = (7*6*5)/(10*9*8) = 210/720 = 7/24.

That fraction 7/24 means that if you had 24 chances, then you expect about 7 of them will lead to getting three black marbles in a row (aka case 4). Therefore, 24-7 = 17 occurrences are expected where we get cases 1 through 3 occur in some fashion (pick one case only).

Notice how cases 1 through 3 encapsulate the phrasing "at most 2 black marbles" which is another way of saying "2 black marbles is the highest we can go".

So that's why the answer is 17/24.

➷  \sqrt{20} can be simplified to 2\sqrt{5}

Multiply 2 by 6 to get the simplified version for part 1

= 12\sqrt{5}

\sqrt{8} can be simplified to 2\sqrt{2}

Multiply 2 by 3 to get the simplified version:

= 6\sqrt{2}

It would be:

12\sqrt{5} - 3\sqrt{8}

The length of a swimming poollane
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

x²+5x - 150 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be y and width be x

If the  length of a swimming pool is 10 more than 2 times the width, then;

y = 2x+10 ...1

Since the Area is 300m²

A = xy

300 = xy .... 2

Substitute 1 into 2

300 = x(2x+10)

300 = 2x²+10x

Rearrange

2x²+10x - 300 = 0

Divide through by 2

x²+5x - 150 = 0

This gives the required quadratic expression

<h3>Answer: Choice A) 29.5 </h3>

This value is approximate.

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

Work Shown:

First we need to find angle C

A+B+C = 180

46+73+C = 180

119+C = 180

C = 180 - 119

C = 61

This is not the final answer, so answer choice B is likely a trick/trap answer.

We'll use this angle value to help find side c. Use the law of sines

c/sin(C) = b/sin(B)

c/sin(61) = (32.3)/sin(73)

c = sin(61)*(32.3)/sin(73)

c = 29.5410185554849 which is approximate

c = 29.5 which points us to choice A as the final answer.
