Answer:

1/3 or 0.333333

Step-by-step explanation:

The question talks about a die that was tossed once and we are now asked to find the probability that it is a figure greater than 4

---A die has 6 faces with the numbers 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 one on each of

the six faces.Considering an unbaised die the probability of any of the faces to appear in a single roll is 1/6.

So, P(1)=P(2)=P(3)=P(4)=P(5)=P(6)=1/6

Now that numbers greater than 4 are 5 and 6

So it can be P(5) or P(6)= P(5)+P(6)=2/6 = 1/3 or 0.33333

Answer 1/3 or 0.33333

Simplify the expression (-502) square root 0

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

$-502\sqrt 0 = 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$-502\sqrt 0$

Required

Simplify

$-502\sqrt 0$

----------------------------------------

$\sqrt 0 = 0$

----------------------------------------

So:

$-502\sqrt 0 = -502 * 0$

$-502\sqrt 0 = 0$

If cosX = -0.2, and x is in quadrant II, then what it the value of sinX

Tems11 [23]

$\sin x>0$ when $x$ is in quadrant II, so

$\cos^2x+\sin^2x=1\implies\sin x=\sqrt{1-\cos^2x}=\sqrt{1-(-0.2)^2}\approx1.02$

Through: (-5, 5), perp. to y = 5/9x - 4

zysi [14]

Answer:

$y=-\frac{9}{5}x-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is:</em></u>

Find the equation of the line that passes through: (-5, 5), and is perpendicular to the line y = 5/9x - 4

step 1

Find the slope of the line

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

The equation of the given line is

$y=\frac{5}{9}x-4$

The slope of the given line is

$m_1=\frac{5}{9}$

The opposite reciprocal is equal to

$m_2=-\frac{9}{5}$ ----> slope of the perpendicular line

step 2

Find the equation of the line in point slope form

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=-\frac{9}{5}$

$point\ (-5,5)$

substitute

$y-5=-\frac{9}{5}(x+5)$

step 3

Convert to slope intercept form

Isolate the variable y

$y-5=-\frac{9}{5}(x+5)\\\\y-5=-\frac{9}{5}x-9\\\\y=-\frac{9}{5}x-9+5\\\\y=-\frac{9}{5}x-4$
