Two events, A and B, are disjoint. What is the probability that both A and B will occur at the same time?

1 answer:

6 0

ANSWER

$P(A\cap B)=0$

EXPLANATION

If the two events are disjoint, then they are mutually exclusive.

This means that their intersection is zero.

Therefore

$n(A\cap B)=0$

This implies that,

$P(A\cap B)= \frac{n(A\cap B)}{n(U)}$

$P(A\cap B)= \frac{0}{n(U)} = 0$

The probability that the two events will occur together is 0, which means an impossibility.

Find the given derivative by finding the first few derivatives and observing the pattern that occurs. d103 dx103 (sin(x))

aleksandrvk [35]

To find $\frac{d^{103}}{dx^{103}} \left(\sin{(x)}\right)$ , we find the first few derivatives and observe the pattern that occurs.

$\frac{d}{dx} (\sin{(x)})=\cos{(x)} \\ \\ \frac{d^2}{dx^2} (\sin{(x)})= \frac{d}{dx} (\cos{(x)})=-\sin{(x)} \\ \\ \frac{d^3}{dx^3} (\sin{(x)})= -\frac{d}{dx} (\sin{(x)})=-\cos{(x)} \\ \\ \frac{d^4}{dx^4} (\sin{(x)})= -\frac{d}{dx} (\cos{(x)})=-(-\sin{(x)})=\sin{(x)} \\ \\ \frac{d^5}{dx^5} (\sin{(x)})= \frac{d}{dx} (\sin{(x)})=\cos{(x)}$

As can be seen above, it can be seen that the continuos derivative of sin (x) is a sequence which repeats after every four terms.

Thus,

$\frac{d^{103}}{dx^{103}} \left(\sin{(x)}\right)= \frac{d^{4(25)+3}}{dx^{4(25)+3}} \left(\sin{(x)}\right) \\ \\ = \frac{d^3}{dx^3} \left(\sin{(x)}\right)=-\cos{(x)}$

Therefore,

$\frac{d^{103}}{dx^{103}} \left(\sin{(x)}\right)=-\cos{(x)}$ .
