Solution: We are given that a box contains 24 light bulbs. 2 light bulbs are defective.

Now if a person selects 10 bulbs at random, without replacement.

We are required to find the probability that both defective bulbs will be selected.

Since there are two defective, therefore two defective can be chosen in \binom{2}{2} ways.

Also since 10 bulbs are selected, the remaining 8 bulbs can be selected in \binom{22}{8}

Also, the total number of ways 10 bulbs can be selected is:

\binom{24}{10}

Therefore, the probability that both defective bulbs will be selected is:

\frac{\binom{2}{2}\binom{22}{8}}{\binom{24}{10}}

\frac{1 \times 319770}{1961256}

0.1630 rounded to 4 decimal places

Hence, the probability that both defective bulbs will be selected is 0.1630

Graph h(x)=7 sin x ?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The graph of h(x) is shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

h(x)=7\sin x

The general form of sine function is

f(x)=a\sin(bx+c)+d

Where, a is amplitude, b is period, c is phase shift and d is vertical shift.

So, the amplitude of the given function is 7, period is 1, phase shift is 0 and vertical shift is 0.

It means the minimum value of function is -7 and maximum value is 7.

Put x=0 in the given function.

h(x)=7\sin (0)=7(0)=0

Put  x=-\frac{\pi}{2} in the given function.

h(x)=7\sin (-\frac{\pi}{2})=-7(1)=-7

Put  x=\frac{\pi}{2} in the given function.

h(x)=7\sin (\frac{\pi}{2})=7(1)=7

Therefore the points on the function are (0,0), (-\frac{\pi}{2},-7),(\frac{\pi}{2},7).

The graph of function is shown below.

Giving brainlyest to first answer<br> and id correct
Savatey [412]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin with, convert both fractions into improper fractions:

1\frac{2}{3}=\frac{5}{3} and 2\frac{3}{9}=\frac{21}{9}.

Then convert the first fraction to ninths in order to add the two:

\frac{5}{3}*\frac{3}{3}=\frac{15}{9}.

Then we add the two:

\frac{15+21}{9}

\frac{36}{9}=4

What multiplies to 7?

1×7
and
-1×-7

Which of these add up to -8?

1+7=8 but not -8

-1+-7=-8 do this is right

A negative plus a negative will add up together since they are the same and make another negative number

Answer: -1 and -7 multiply to 7 and add up to -8
