There are 11 letters in Mississippi. One letter is an M. You have a 1/11 chance of drawing an M if you randomly pick a letter.

Mississippi = 11 letters

there is 1 M

so you have a 1/11 probability of picking M

How are the two functions f(x) = 0.7(6)x and g(x) = 0.7(6)–x related to each other?

Harlamova29_29 [7]

The answer
f(x) = 0.7(6)x = f(x) = 0.7(6)^x, and g(x) = 0.7(6)–x= g(x) = 0.7(6)^-x=1/0.7(6)^x
so 
g(x) =1/0.7(6)^x=1 /f(x)

 the relationship between f and g are g(x) =1 /f(x) or g(x) . f(x) = 1

P and W are twice-differentiable functions with P(7)=2(W(7)). The line y=9+2.5(x-7) is tangent to the graph of P at x=7. The lin

fiasKO [112]

Using the product rule, we have

$m(x) = x W(x) \implies m'(x) = xW'(x) + W(x)$

so that

$m'(7) = 7W'(7) + W(7)$

The equation of the tangent line to W(x) at x = 7 has all the information we need to determine m' (7).

When x = 7, the tangent line intersects with the graph of W(x), and

y = 4.5 + 2 (7 - 7) ==> y = 4.5

means that this intersection occurs at the point (7, 4.5), and this in turn means W (7) = 4.5.

The slope of this tangent line is 2, so W' (7) = 2.

Then

$m'(7) = 7\cdot2 + 4.5 = \boxed{18.5}$

PLEASE HELP!! if sec x=5/3 what is the value of b? NL=20 LM=3b angle of L is x degrees.

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

a. b=4

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sec \theta =\dfrac{1}{\cos \theta} = \dfrac{Hypotenuse}{Adjacent}$

From the attached triangle drawn below:

NL=20, LM=3b, $\angle L=x^\circ$

$\sec x =\dfrac{20}{3b}$

Since we are told that:

$\sec x =\dfrac{5}{3}\\$Then:\\\dfrac{20}{3b} =\dfrac{5}{3}\\$Cross multiply\\5 \times 3b =20 \times 3\\15b=60\\$Divide both sides by 15\\15b \div 15 =60 \div 15\\b=4$

The correct option is A.
