Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(9x-1)^-1/2 - (x+2)(9x-1)^-1/2

= (9x-1)^-1/2( 1 - (x + 2))

= (9x-1)^-1/2(-1 - x)

= -(x + 1)(9x-1)^-1/2

= -(x + 1) / (9x-1)^1/2

Anthony needs to find the greatest common factor of both 18 and 24. The reason why is because this way he can have the same number of plants in each row while having the greatest number in each row possible. The amount of plants he needs to put in each row is 6.

Please help me solve 5 and 6 for my homework

Answer:

(5) The perpendicular height of the triangle is 8.48 mm.

(6) The 1184.86 cm far up the wall the ladder reach.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part (5):

When a perpendicular is drawn in an isosceles triangle then the perpendicular divided the base into 2 equal parts.

The figures is shown below.

In ΔABC,

CB = 6 mm

So,

CD = BD = 3 mm

Now calculating the perpendicular height of the triangle.

Using Pythagoras theorem in ΔADC:

$(AC)^2=(CD)^2+(AD)^2\\\\(9)^2=(3)^2+(AD)^2\\\\81=9+(AD)^2\\\\(AD)^2=81-9\\\\(AD)^2=72\\\\AD=8.48mm$

Thus, the perpendicular height of the triangle is 8.48 mm.

Part (6):

The figure is shown below.

Converting meter to centimeter:

1 m = 100 cm

So,

12 m = 1200 cm

Using Pythagoras theorem in ΔXYZ:

$(XZ)^2=(YZ)^2+(XY)^2\\\\(1200)^2=(190)^2+(XY)^2\\\\1440000=36100+(XY)^2\\\\(XY)^2=1440000-36100\\\\(XY)^2=1403900\\\\XY=1184.86cm$

Thus, 1184.86 cm far up the wall the ladder reach.

Answer:

There is a 25.52% probability of observating 4 our fewer succesful recommendations.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each recommendation, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it was a success, or it was a failure. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

$p = 0.553, n = 10$

If the claim is correct and the performance of recommendations is independent, what is the probability that you would have observed 4 or fewer successful:

This is

$P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)$
