Answer:

j = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

-13j - 20 = -8j + 20

Add 13 j to each side

-13j+13j - 20 = -8j+13j + 20

-20 = 5j+20

subtract 20 from each side

-20-20 = 5j +20-20

-40 = 5j

Divide by 5

-40/5 = =5j/5

-8 =j

You are playing a board game with your little sister. Moves are determined by rolling 2 six-sided dice. The red die tells you th

enot [183]

Answer: The probability is 1/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's define the possible outcomes of each dice:

Red: Forward (4 times), Backward (2 times)

Green : {1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4}

We want to find the probability of moving backward 2 spaces.

Then we need to find the probability of rolling a "backward" in the red dice, and a 2 in the green dice.

First, the probability of rolling a backward in the red dice is equal to the quotient between the number of outcomes that are "backward", and the total number of outcomes in the dice (there are 2 backwards and 6 outcomes in total), this is:

p1 = 2/6 = 1/3.

And the probability of rolling a 2 in the green dice is equal to the quotient between the number of outcomes with a 2, and the total number of outcomes. (The 2 appears two times, and there are 6 possible outcomes):

p2 = 2/6 = 1/3.

Now, the probability of both events happening at the same time is equal to the product of the individual probabilities, then the probability of moving backwards 2 spaces is:

P = p1*p2 = (1/3)*(1/3) = 1/9.

Verify the identity 6cos^2(x) -3 = 3 - 6sin^2(x)

Lorico [155]

Answer:

It is proved that $6\cos ^{2}x -3 = 3 - 6\sin ^{2} x$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We already have the identity of x as $\sin ^{2}x + \cos ^{2}x = 1$ .......... (1) .

So, from equation (1) we can write that

$\cos ^{2} x = 1 - \sin ^{2} x$

⇒ $6\cos ^{2} x = 6 - 6 \sin ^{2} x$

⇒ $6\cos ^{2} x -3 = 6 - 6 \sin ^{2}x -3$

⇒ $6\cos ^{2}x -3 = 3 - 6\sin ^{2} x$

Hence, it is proved that $6\cos ^{2}x -3 = 3 - 6\sin ^{2} x$ . (Answer)

I really don't understand help

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

128 ft sq.

Step-by-step explanation:

The way you find the area of a square is by multiplying one side by another, and since it is a square, the sides are the same. This means that if we have a square with a side length of x, the way to find the area of that square is to multiply x by x, which can be written as $x^2$ . Now, since we're doubling this, we can say that double Mary's garden is $2 * x^2$ . If we substitute 8 in for x, we have to multiply $8^2$ by 2 or 8 by 8 by 2 to find our answer. 8 times 8 is 64 and 64 times 2 is 128.
