Answer:

0.0455

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The formula for calculator probability is </u>

# of favorable outcomes / # of possible outcomes

<u>The total number of marbles in the bag: </u>

7+3+2=12

<u>Probability of the first marble being blue:</u>

3/12

<u>Probability of the second marble being blue:</u>

2/11 -- 2 because only 2 blue marbles left after drawing the first one out, 11 because after taking the first marble out, we have 11 marbles left in the bag

<u>Formula for both events happening:</u>

p(A and B) = p(A) * p(B)

In this problem,

A = first one blue

B = second one blue

<u>Probability that if two marbles are drawn out of the bag, both are blue:</u>

3/12 x 2/11 = 0.045454

<u>Rounded answer:</u>

0.0455 (or 4.55%)

How to solve<br><br> 3sin^2x= cos^2x
DochEvi [55]

I'll try it.
I just went through this twice on scratch paper.  The first time was to
see if I could do it, and the second time was because the first result
I got was ridiculous.  But I think I got it.

You said                                                 <span><u>3sin²(x) = cos²(x)</u>

Use this trig identity:  sin²(x) = 1 - cos²(x)   

                                   Plug it into the original equation for (x).

                                                     3(1 - cos²(x) )  =  cos²(x)

Remove parentheses on the left:    3 - 3cos²(x)  =  cos²(x)

Add  3cos²(x)  to each side:            3                  =  4cos²(x)

Divide each side by  4 :                  3/4  =  cos²(x)

Take the square root of each side:    <em>cos(x) = (√3) / 2</em> .

There it is ... the cosine of the unknown angle.
Now you just go look it up in a book with a table cosines,
or else pinch it through your computer or your calculator,
or else just remember that you've learned that

                           cos( <em><u>30°</u></em> )  =  </span><span><span>(√3) / 2 </span>.

Write an equation of the line that passes through (18, 2) and is parallel to the line 3y−x=−12
miskamm [114]

keeping in mind that parallel lines have the same exact slope, hmmmm what's the slope of the line above anyway?

\bf 3y-x=-12\implies 3y=x-12\implies y=\cfrac{x-12}{3}\implies y = \cfrac{x}{3}-\cfrac{12}{3} \\\\\\ y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{1}{3}}x-4\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 1/3 and runs through (18,2)

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{18}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})~\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{2}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{1}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{18}) \\\\\\ y-2=\cfrac{1}{3}x-6\implies y=\cfrac{1}{3}x-4

I have a question and I cant seem figure it out. It says( Triangle ABC is a right triangle. Angle B is the right angle, side A i
pychu [463]

Answer:

you need to draw a triangle of given dimensions

Step-by-step explanation:

if B is right angle triangle then you can assume that either AB or BC is base and other one is perpendicular. So that makes AC hypotenuse

so let's assume BC is base of 6 cm. so draw a base of 6 cm line , name it BC

then draw a 90 degree angle on B keeping BC as Base . now length of perpendicular would be 4.5 cm. this perpendicular would be AB

no join A and C . length of AC should be 7.5 cm. if it's not then something is wrong in given question.
