The measure of angle A is 15°, and the length of side BC is 8. What are the lengths of the other two sides, rounded to the neare

Leokris [45]

This is the concept of geometry, given that AB=AC, it means that the tirangle is isosceles, thus to get the value of AB and AC we proceed as follows;
thus using the cosine rule:
c^2=a^2+b^2-2abcosC
suppose\AB=AC=x
thus;
8^2=x^2+x^2-2*x*xcos15
64=2x^2-2x^2cos15

64=2x^2-1.9x^2
64=0.1x^2
x^2=640
x=sqrt640
x=25.3
hence;
AC=AB=25.3

What is the factored form of 8x^2+12x

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

4x(2x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the common factor of 8x^2 and 12x is 4x, put that out and separate the distributed remaining factors.

If 90 percent of automobiles in Orange County have both headlights working, what is the probability that in a sample of eight au

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

$P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)$

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function

$P(X=7)=(8C7)(0.9)^7 (1-0.9)^{8-7}=0.3826$

$P(X=8)=(8C8)(0.9)^8 (1-0.9)^{8-8}=0.4305$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)=0.3826 +0.4305=0.8131$

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest "number of automobiles with both headligths working", on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=8, p=0.9)$
