Answer: 200 bulbs will not be defective.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of defective bulbs to good bulbs produced each day is 2 to 10. This ratio can also be expressed as 1 to 5 by reducing to lowest terms.

The total ratio is the sum of the proportions.

Total ratio = 1 + 5 = 6

This means that if n bulbs is produced, the number of defective bulbs would be

1/6 × n

The number of non defective would be

5/6 × n

Since n = 240, then the number of bulbs that will not be defective is

5/6 × 240 = 200 bulbs

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

5-8 is +3

8-14 is +3*2

14-26 is 3*4

26-50 is 3*8

which means 50 to the next number is 3*16, which is 48

48+50 is 98

Given: ΔABC; b= 10; c = 14, and ∠A = 54°. Find the length of side a to the nearest whole number.
alexandr402 [8]
A² = b² + c² - 2bc cosA
a² = 10² + 14² - 2*10*14 cos54
a² = 100 + 196 - 280 * cos54
a = \sqrt{100 + 196 - 280 * cos54}
a = 11.46

First, he needs to run to the store. To get to the store from his apartment, he can walk 1.2 miles North and 0.5 miles East alon
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

If Henry walks along the sidewalks, he will walk 1.7 miles in total. It will take him 17 minutes to reach the store and another 17 minutes to come back.

If Henry cuts through the city, he will walk √(1.2² + 0.5²) = 1.3 miles in total. It will take him 22.3 minutes to reach the store and another 22.3 minutes to come back.

Even though Henry will need to walk a longer distance if he walks along the sidewalks, he will be able to reach the store and back back in a shorter time than if he cuts through the city.

Simplify: cos2x-cos4 all over sin2x + sin 4x
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

\frac{\cos\left(2x\right)-\cos\left(4x\right)}{\sin\left(2x\right)+\sin\left(4x\right)}=\tan\left(x\right)

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{\cos\left(2x\right)-\cos\left(4x\right)}{\sin\left(2x\right)+\sin\left(4x\right)}

Apply formula:

\cos\left(A\right)-\cos\left(B\right)=-2\cdot\sin\left(\frac{A+B}{2}\right)\cdot\sin\left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right) and

\sin\left(A\right)+\sin\left(B\right)=2\cdot\sin\left(\frac{A+B}{2}\right)\cdot\sin\left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right)

We get:

=\frac{-2\cdot\sin\left(\frac{2x+4x}{2}\right)\cdot\sin\left(\frac{2x-4x}{2}\right)}{2\cdot\sin\left(\frac{2x+4x}{2}\right)\cdot\cos\left(\frac{2x-4x}{2}\right)}

=\frac{-\sin\left(\frac{2x-4x}{2}\right)}{\cos\left(\frac{2x-4x}{2}\right)}

=\frac{-\sin\left(\frac{-2x}{2}\right)}{\cos\left(\frac{-2x}{2}\right)}

=\frac{-\sin\left(-x\right)}{\cos\left(-x\right)}

=\frac{-\cdot-\sin\left(x\right)}{\cos\left(x\right)}

=\frac{\sin\left(x\right)}{\cos\left(x\right)}

=\tan\left(x\right)

Hence final answer is

\frac{\cos\left(2x\right)-\cos\left(4x\right)}{\sin\left(2x\right)+\sin\left(4x\right)}=\tan\left(x\right)
