The image is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

x = 56.44°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached image, we can see that this is a right angle triangle which has opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse as sides. Since we want to find the angle x, thus, we can make use of trigonometric ratios.

From the attached image, the side opposite to angle x is 10ft and the hypotenuse is 12 ft.

From trigonometric ratios, we know that, sin x = opposite/hypotenuse

So, sin x = 10/12

x = sin^(-1) (10/12)

x = sin^(-1) 0.8333

x = 56.44°

PLEASE HELP

If an event occurs 0 times (out of 4, in this case) then it does not occur at least once. So we can find the probability of it not occurring and then subtract that value from 1.

So, what are the chances of it not occurring in 1 trip?

1−.37=.63

What about not occurring in 2 trips?

(1−.37)⋅(1−.37)=.63⋅.63=.3969

Now what about not occurring in 4 trips?

.63^4 = 0.15752961

We must subtract this value from 1

(recall that what we just calculated is the probability of it not occurring, so the probability of it occurring at least once is:

1−0.15752961 = .84247039

TLDR - In 4 trips the chance of a guest catching a cutthroat once in under 4 trips in 0.84.

Simplify the following expression (6x2 + 8x - 3) - (3x2 - 6)
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

3x^2 +8x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

(6x^2 + 8x - 3) - (3x^2 - 6)

Distribute the minus sign

(6x^2 + 8x - 3) - 3x^2 + 6

Combine like terms

3x^2 +8x +3
