How to evaluate this f (x) = -x^+1 for x =-3

Just plug in -3 for x. So it will be -(-3)^+ 1
Which is 3^+1.
I'm confused by your ^ sign I'm not sure if this is supposed to be squared or not...? But just solve/simplify the equation.
Hope this helps!

Substitute x with -3

so f(3)=-(3) +1
=-2

Two dice are tossed together. What is the probability of getting an odd number on the second die and a total of five?

wolverine [178]

Probability = (number of ways to succeed) / (total possible outcomes) .

The total possible results of rolling two dice is

(6 on the first cube) x (6 on the second one) = 36 possibilities.

How many are successful ? I need you to clarify something first.
You said that the 'second die' shows an odd number. When a pair
of dice is rolled, the problem usually doesn't distinguish between them.
And in fact, you said that they're "tossed together" (like a spinach and
arugula salad ?) so I would understand that they would lose their identity
unless they were, say, painted different colors, and we wouldn't know
which one is the second one.

Oh well, I'll just work it both ways:

First way:
Two identical dice are tossed.
The total is 5 and ONE cube shows an odd number.

How can that happen ?

1 ... 4
4 ... 1
3 ... 2
2 ... 3

Four possibilities. Probability = 4/36 = 1/9 = 11.1% .

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

Second way:
A black and a white cube are tossed together.
The total is 5 and the white cube shows an odd number.

How can that happen:

B ... W
4 .... 1
2 .... 3

Only two possibilities. Probability = 2/36 = 1/18 = 5.6% .

The length of the shorter base in an isosceles trapezoid is 4 in, its altitude is 5 in, and the measure of one of its obtuse ang

siniylev [52]

The sum of angles in any quadrilateral, including trapezoid, is 360⁰.
Because we have an isosceles trapezoid, we have 2 angles with measure 135⁰,
and we have 2 equal acute angles with measure x⁰.
So, we can find value of acute angle,
135*2 +2x =360⁰
270+2x=360
2x=360-270
2x=90
x=45⁰

So, acute angles in trapezoid = 45⁰.
From triangle ABC,
angle ACB =90⁰
angle A=45⁰,
so angle ABC= 180-(90-45)=45⁰
Triangle ABC is isosceles triangle,so |AC| = |CB|= 5 in.

So, longer base AA' = 5+4+5= 14 in

Now, we can find area of trapezoid.
shorter base = 4 in
longer base = 14 in
altitude =h = 5 in
Area of trapezoid =(1/2)(base1+base2)*h
Area of trapezoid = (1/2)(4+14)*5= 9*5=45 in²
Answer is 45 in².
