Answer:

B.  `29/40`

Step-by-step explanation:

These events are not mutually exclusive.  This means they can happen at the same time.

For two events A and B that are not mutually exclusive,

P(A or B) = P(A)+P(B) - P(A and B)

Our events are:

P(girl or 7th grade) = P(girl)+P(7th grade)-P(girl and 7th grade)

There are 40 girls out of 80 students:

P(girl or 7th grade) = 40/80+P(7th grade)-P(girl and 7th grade)

There are 36 7th graders in the choir out of 80 students:

P(girl or 7th grade) = 40/80+36/80-P(girl and 7th grade)

There are 18 7th grade girls in the choir:

P(girl or 7th grade) = 40/80+36/80-18/80 = 76/80-18/80 = 58/80

Both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 2:

(58÷2)/(80÷2) = 29/40

What is the period function of f(x)=1/2tan (2x+5)
soldi70 [24.7K]

Compare your f(x)=1/2tan (2x+5) to

g(x)=a*tan (bx + c).


Note how b = 2.


The period of the given tangent function is pi/b, which here is pi/2, or 90 degrees. Multiplying x by 2 horizontallyl compresses the graph of tan x by a factor of 1/2.

You do 9x27=243 then take 2x31=62 add 243+62=305 then take 305 and subtract it from 28 305-28=277 
so if i did it right you should get n=277
