Lol


trouble varies directly as distance
lets say t=trouble and d=distance
t=kd
k is constant

given
when t=20, and d=400
find k
20=400k
divide by 400 both sides
1/20=k



t=(1/20)d

given, d=60
find t

t=(1/20)60
t=60/20
t=3

If there is a 10% chance of sun tomorrow and a 20% chance of wind and no sun, what is the probability that it is windy, given th
professor190 [17]
Since there are two events happening simultaneously (windy and no sun), we can apply the concept of conditional probability here. P(A|B) = P(A∩B)/P(B) where it means that given B is happening, the probability that A is happening as well is the ratio of the chance for A and B to happen simultaneously over the chance of B to happen. For our case, this can be interpreted as P(A|B): it is the probability that it is windy (A) GIVEN that there is no sun (B) P(A∩B) : chance of wind and no sun P(B) : chance that there is no sun tomorrow The chance of P(A∩B) is already given as 20% or 0.20. Since there is 10% or 0.10 chance of sun, then chances of having no sun tomorrow is (1-0.10) = 0.90. Thus, we have P(A|B) = 0.2/0.9 ≈ 0.22 or 22%. So, answer is B: 22%<span>.</span>

The period of f(x)=cos (2pi/3)x is ...?
Zigmanuir [339]
Well lets see. if you're  being specific about the rigor,  then the period means that <span>cos(2Π÷3(x+α))=cos(2Π÷3(x))</span>Therefore this gives <span>2π÷3α=2π</span>so α = 3.
Hope this can help you
