Number of returns = 47
Number of returns that contain errors = 5
Number of returns that does not contain error = 47 - 5 = 42

P(selecting none that contains error in the unreplaced selection) = 42/47 x 41/46 x 40/45 = 68880 / 97290 = 0.708

option C is the correct answer.

Find an​ nth-degree polynomial function with real coefficients satisfying the given conditions calulator?
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Degree = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given conditions:

n = 4

i and 5i are zeros

f(-2) = 145

For zeros, it means they are a quadratic factor of the expression

It means, we will have x = ± i and x = ± 5i

therefore, the given factors are (x - i)(x + i)(x - 5i)(x + 5i)

Hence, we have the function

given degree = 4

f(x) = a(x-i)(x+i)(x-5i)(x+5i)

f(x) = a(x² + 1)(x² + 25)

Hence, substituting -2 for x, we have

f(-2) = a(5)(29) = 145

Hence, a = 1

f(x) = x⁴ + 26x² + 25

Therefore, we can see that the given degree = 4

I NEED HELP PLS I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST
ANEK [815]

Answer:

\approx 11.2\:\mathrm{in}

Step-by-step explanation:

The swing of the tip of pendulum is creating an arc. The question is actually asking for the length of this arc. The length of an arc is given by 2r\pi\cdot \frac{\theta}{360}, where r is the radius of the circle and \theta is the angle of the arc.

In this problem, we're given:

\theta = 40^{\circ},\\r=16

Substituting given values, we get:

2\cdot 16\cdot \pi \cdot \frac{40}{360}=32\pi\cdot \frac{1}{9}\approx \boxed{11.2\:\mathrm{in}}
