Answer: 5/18

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space when two 6- sided dice are rolled is given below:

(+) 1 2 3 4 5 6

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

2 3 4 5 6 7 8

3 4 5 6 7 8 9

4 5 6 7 8 9 10

5 6 7 8 9 10 11

6 7 8 9 10 11 12

The total sample space is 36.

Sum greater than 8 are : {9,10,11,12}

which are 10 in number:

Therefore : the probability that the sum of the two numbers on the dice will be greater than 8 will be :

number of the sum greater than 8 / Total sample space

That is ;

P(sum greater than 8) = 10/36

P(sum greater than 8) = 5/18

Simplify and write the trigonometric expression in terms of sine and cosine: sinx + cotx cosx=1/f(x)

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

cot(x)=cos(x)/sin(x)

sin(x) + cos(x) * cos(x)/sin(x) = 1/f(x)

(sin^2 + cos^(x))/sin(x) = 1 / f(x)

1 / sin(x) = 1 / f(x)

Taking the reciprocal of both sides, we get

sin(x) = f(x)

You throw a ball at a height of 6 feet above the

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

0.375 second and 3.5 second

Step-by-step explanation:

The position can be modeled by a quadratic function $\displaystyle{h=-16t^2+62t+6}$ . We are tasked to find the time when a ball reaches a height of 27 feet. Therefore, let h = 27:

$\displaystyle{27=-16t^2+62t+6}$

Solve for t:

$\displaystyle{27-6=-16t^2+62t}\\\\\displaystyle{21=-16t^2+62t}\\\\\displaystyle{16t^2-62t+21=0}$

Since the equation is quite complicated and more time-consuming to solve, i'll skip the factoring or quadratic part:

$\displaystyle{t=0.375, 3.5}$

After done solving the equation, you'll get t = 0.375 and 3.5 seconds. These solutions are valid since both are positive values and time can only be positive.

Hence, it'll take 0.375 and 3.5 seconds for a ball to reach 27 feet.

The vertices of a triangle are P(-7, -4), Q(-7, -8), and R(3, -3). Name the vertices of the image reflected across the line y=x.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

The answers are:
P ' = (-4,-7)
Q ' = (-8,-7)
R ' = (-3,3)

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

All you do is swap the x and y coordinates of the given points P, Q and R

The general rule is (x,y) ---> (y,x)

So that's why something like P = (-7,-4) becomes P ' = (-4,-7) when we reflect over the line y = x. The other points are handled the same way.
