A solider is parachute training. He jumps out of a plane high enough that the pilot determines the solider will land somewhere i

n an 240 foot radius land zone. The pilow forgot to mention to the solider that the parachute has very little maneuverablity (no steering). and there are 30 trees in the landing zone. Each tree from the air practically outlines a circle with a radius of 8 feet. What is the geometric probability that the solider will land in a tree?

Answer:

  1/30

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the landing zone is ...

  A = πr² = π·240²

  landing zone area = π(30²)(8²)

The area of a tree is ...

  A = πr² = π·8²

so the area of 30 trees is ...

  total tree area = 30(π·8²)

and the probability of landing in a tree is the ratio of areas:

  p(landing in tree) = (total tree area)/(landing zone area)

  = (π·30·8²)/(π·30²·8²) = 1/30

Use a graph in a (-2π, 2π, π/2) by (-3, 3, 1) viewing rectangle to complete the identity.
yaroslaw [1]

First, notice that:

2\tan (\frac{x}{2})=2\cdot(\pm\sqrt[]{\frac{1-cosx}{1+\cos x})}

And in the denominator we have:

1+\tan ^2(\frac{x}{2})=1+\frac{1-\cos x}{1+\cos x}=\frac{1+cosx+1-\cos x}{1+cosx}=\frac{2}{1+\cos x}

then, we have on the original expression:

\begin{gathered} \frac{2\tan(\frac{x}{2})}{1+\tan^2(\frac{x}{2})}=\frac{2\cdot\pm\sqrt[]{\frac{1-\cos x}{1+cosx}}}{\frac{2}{1+\cos x}}=\frac{2\cdot(\pm\sqrt[]{1-cosx})\cdot(1+\cos x)}{2\cdot(\sqrt[]{1+cosx})} \\ =(\sqrt[]{1-\cos x})\cdot(\sqrt[]{1+\cos x})=\sqrt[]{(1-\cos x)(1+\cos x)} \\ =\sqrt[]{1-\cos^2x}=\sqrt[]{\sin^2x}=\sin x \end{gathered}

therefore, the identity equals to sinx

how would you expect the graph of g(x)=f(x-h) to be related to the graph of f(x) when h is a negative number.
Kruka [31]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of g(x) would be the same as that of f(x) EXCEPT that the graph of g(x) would be translated h units to the left.  For example, if you had f(x-[-5]), the graph of f(x) would be translated 5 units to the left.

Annabelle read 10 books in 2 months. What was her rate of reading, in books per month?
goblinko [34]

Answer:

5 books per month

Step-by-step explanation:

We are trying to find a rate.

To find books per month, we would take the number of books and divide it by the number of months.

This would give us 10 books/2 months.

10/2 simplifies to 5.

Therefore the answer would be 5 books per month.
