Answer:

The answer to your question is 39 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Force = 60 lb

angle = 40°

vertical component = ?

Process

To answer this question, we must imagine a right triangle where the force gave is the hypotenuse, and the vertical component will be the opposite side to the 40° angle.

1.- Look for a trigonometric function that relates the opposite side and the hypotenuse

          sin Ф = Opposite side / hypotenuse

- Solve for Opposite side

          Opposite side = hypotenuse x sin Ф

- Substitution

          Opposite side = 60 x sin 40

- Simplification

          Opposite side = 60 x 0.64

- Result

          Opposite side = 38.56 ≈ 39 lb

Find a cubic function f(x) = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d that has a local maximum value of 3 at x = −3 and a local minimum value of 0 a
Ahat [919]

Answer:

f(x) = (3x³ + 9x² - 27x + 15)/32

Step-by-step explanation:

f'(x) = 3ax² + 2bx + c

Maximum or minimum: f'(x) = 0

Maximum: f'(-3) = 0 and f(-3) = 3

Minimum: f'(1) = 0 and f(1) = 0

f'(-3) = 0 leads 27a - 6b + c = 0       (1)

f'(1) = 0 leads 3a + 2b + c = 0           (2)

f(-3) = 3 leads -27a + 9b -3c + d = 3    (3)

f(1) = 0 leads a + b + c + d = 0        (4)

(1) - (2):   24a - 8b = 0, or 3a - b = 0, b = 3a

(3) - (4)   -28a + 8b - 4c = 3    (5)

(1) * 4 + (5):  80a - 16b = 3,

use b = 3a, get 80a - 16*3a = 3, 32a = 3, a = 3/32, b = 3a = 9/32

From (2): c = -3a - 2b = -9/32 - 18/32 = -27/32

From (4): d = -a - b - c = -3/32 - 9/32 + 27/32 = 15/32

So

f(x) = (3x³ + 9x² - 27x + 15)/32

Based on a​ poll, among adults who regret getting​ tattoos, 1212​% say that they were too young when they got their tattoos. Ass
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

0.3165

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial distribution problem

Binomial distribution function is represented by

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

n = total number of sample spaces = number of adults sampled = 9

x = Number of successes required = number of selected adults that say they were too young to get tattoos = 0

p = probability of success = probability of an adult that regrets getting a tattoo saying they were too young to get the tattoo = 12% = 0.12

q = probability of failure = 1 - p = 1 - 0.12 = 0.88

P(X=0) = ⁹C₀ (0.12)⁰ (0.88)⁹⁻⁰

P(X=0) = 0.31647838183 = 0.3165

Hope this Helps!!!
