A box in a college bookstore contains books, and each book in the box is a history book, an English book or a science bok. If 1/

3 of these books are history books and 1/6 of these books are English books, what fraction of the books are science books?

1/2 are science because if you make 1/3, 2/6 + 1/6= 3/6. 3/6 = 1/2. 1/2 and 1/2 make a whole.

Use synthetic division to find (x^2+3x–4)÷(x+4)

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

X^2-x- 8/x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

X+4 becomes a negative 4

Then multiply -4 by the first number which is 1 so -4×1 is -4. Then subtract -4 by the second number 3. This gives you -1 so multiply that by 4 which is -4. Then subtract 4 from the third number -4. So that'll give you -8. Then add an x-value to every number except the very last number as that number will be you remainder.

SinA=√1-x÷√1+X<br> Find the value of cosA

Irina-Kira [14]

The value of cos A is √(1 + x²)/ (1 - x²) /√1 + x

<h3>Trigonometric ratios</h3>

It is important to note that

sin A = opposite/ hypotenuse

cos A = adjacent/ hypotenuse

Then,

opposite = $\sqrt{1} - x$

Hypotenuse = $\sqrt{1} + x$

Let's find the adjacent side using the Pythagorean theroem

$(\sqrt{1} + x)^2 = (\sqrt{1 -x } )^2 + x^2$

$1 + x^2 = 1 - x^2 + x^2$

$x = \sqrt{\frac{1 + x^2}{1 -x^2} }$

cos A = x/hypotenuse

$cos A = \frac{\sqrt{\frac{1+x^2}{1 -x^2} } }{\sqrt{1} +x}$

cos A = √(1 + x²)/ (1 - x²) /√1 + x

Thus, the value of cos A is √(1 + x²)/ (1 - x²) /√1 + x

You are purchasing soft drinks for the company annual party. You expect about 32 people to be there. You want to allow at least

qaws [65]

<span>32*18=576 oz. </span>

<span>Store A offers 24-12 oz cans for $5.89. That means $5.89 gets you 288 oz. Store B offers 12-12oz cans for $3.79, so that means $3.79 gets you 144oz. </span>

<span>Store A is $5.89 per every 288 oz. You need 576 oz, which is double that. That means it will cost you twice as much as it would buying 24-12 oz cans: </span>
<span>$5.89*2=$11.78 </span>

<span>Store B is $3.79 for 144 oz. As previously stated, you need 576 oz, so you'll need to buy 4 12-packs of 12 oz cans: </span>
<span>$3.79*4=15.16 </span>

<span>So not only is Store A a better deal, but they'll save you $15.16-$11.78=$3.38 dollars. </span>

M∠1 = 80 – x; and

Burka [1]

Answer:

$10$

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>m∠</em>2 and <em>m∠</em>1 are congruent by the Corresponding Angles Theorem; we set both expressions equal to each other:

[80 - x]° = [90 - 2x]°

+ x° + x°

______________

80° = [90 - x]°

-90° - 90°

__________

−10° = [−x]°

$10° = x$

A professor's son, having made the wise decision to drop out of college, has been finding his way in life taking one job or anot

Trava [24]

Answer:

88.88% probability that it endures for less than a year and a half

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

$\mu = 66, \sigma = 10$

The next career begins on Monday; what is the likelihood that it endures for less than a year and a half?

One year has 52.14 weeks. So a year and a half has 1.5*52.14 = 78.21 weeks.

So this probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 78.21.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{78.21 - 66}{10}$

$Z = 1.22$

$Z = 1.22$ has a pvalue of 0.8888

88.88% probability that it endures for less than a year and a half
