Which number is rational -3 1/2, sqrt 5, pi, 9.23157...

-3 1/2 is rational because the decimal ends at -3.5. It is not sqrt(5) because the decimal never ends and the same follows for pi and 9.23157.

How do you this question (pre-cal)

Novay_Z [31]

The goal to proving identities is to transform one side into the other. We can only pick one side to transform while the other side stays the same the entire time. The general rule of thumb is to transform the more complicated side (though there may be exceptions to this guideline).

So I'll take the left hand side and try to turn it into $\csc^2( B )$

One way we can do that is through the following steps:

$\frac{\tan(B) + \cot(B)}{\tan(B)} = \csc^2(B)\\\\\frac{\tan(B)}{\tan(B)} + \frac{\cot(B)}{\tan(B)} = \csc^2(B)\\\\1 + \cot(B)*\frac{1}{\tan(B)} = \csc^2(B)\\\\1 + \cot(B)*\cot(B) = \csc^2(B)\\\\1 + \cot^2(B) = \csc^2(B)\\\\1 + \frac{cos^2(B)}{\sin^2(B)} = \csc^2(B)\\\\\frac{sin^2(B)}{\sin^2(B)}+\frac{cos^2(B)}{\sin^2(B)} = \csc^2(B)\\\\\frac{sin^2(B)+cos^2(B)}{\sin^2(B)} = \csc^2(B)\\\\\frac{1}{\sin^2(B)} = \csc^2(B)\\\\\csc^2(B)=\csc^2(B) \ \ {\Large \checkmark}\\\\$

Since we've shown that the left hand side transforms into the right hand side, this verifies the equation is an identity.

A coin is tossed four times What is the probability of getting four heads? (1 mark) a) b) What is the probability of getting exa

BlackZzzverrR [31]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

1. A coin is tossed four times. What is the probability of getting four heads?

Each toss has a 1/2 chance of getting a head.

So the chance of getting all four heads can be calculated as :

$1/2\times1/2\times1/2\times1/2=1/16$

2. A coin is tossed four times. What is the probability of getting two heads?

Each toss can have 2 results, so 4 flips will have $2^{4}$ or 16 results.

Getting two heads means getting two tails also. So, we can get the number of times two heads come = $\frac{4!}{2!2!}$ = 6

We can write the groups like - {HHTT,HTHT,HTTH,THHT,THTH,TTHH}

So, the required probability is : 6/16 or 3/8.

3. Not getting two heads means getting 3 tails and 1 head or all tails.

Probability of having all tails = $1/2\times1/2\times1/2\times1/2=1/16$

Probability of one head(1st trial) and three tails = 1/16

Probability of one head (2nd trial) and three tails (the 1st, 3rd and 4th trials) = 1/16

Probability of one head (3rd trial) and three tails (the 1st, 2nd and 4th trials) = 1/16

Probability of one head (4th trial) and three tails (the 1st, 2nd and 3rd trials) = 1/16

So, the total probability showing only one or none head and at least three tails = $1/16+1/16+1/16+1/16+1/16=5/16$

It takes Dan 32 minutes to complete 2 pages of math homework. At this rate, how many pages does he complete in 200 minutes?

Anna [14]

He can complete about 6 pages of math homework.
you first do 200 divided by 32 and you get 6.25. So therefore Dan can complete 6 pages in 200 minutes.

Radio waves travel at the speed of light, approximately 300,000,000 m/s. Part A How much time does it take for a radio message t

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to understand that every time a radio wave goes 300,000,000 meters a second passes, literally what meter per second means. of course it doesn't go that far, it goes 384,000 one way and then the same distance back, which makes 768,000. Under a third of the distance to make 1 second, so it will be less than one second.

You also want to understand the formula for speed. speed = distance / time. Whch also means, to find time you can change it to be time = distance / speed. And hey, we have distance and speed. 768,000 / 300,000,000 = .00256, I'll leave the significant figures to you unless you need help with them. but that's .00256 of a second. or .00256 s
