Answer:

1024/59049, 1.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to do it would to be simply multiply 2/3 by itself 10 times

2/3 x 2/3 x 2/3 x 2/3 and so on

That would be a really long equation so instead we can use exponents to shorten it. We can simply just do 2^10/3^10

2^10=1024

3^10=59049

1024/59049, 1.7%

Answer:

1024/59049

Step-by-step explanation:

P( clear hurdle) = 2/3

There are 10 hurdles

P ( clear all hurdles) = P( clear hurdle) * P( clear hurdle)...... 10 times

= 2/3 * 2/3 *....... 10 times

= (2/3) ^ 10

=1024/59049

An archeologist discovered two artifacts buried beneath the ground. She found the first artifact at an elevation of -8:2/7 meter

8090 [49]

Answer:

Option D is the correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are provided angle of elevations of two artifacts buried beneath the ground and we are asked to find distance between these two elevations.

We will find distance between these elevations by taking the difference of two.

$35:\frac{4}{7}--8:\frac{2}{7}$

$35:\frac{4}{7}+8:\frac{2}{7}=43:\frac{6}{7}$

Since we know that distance is always positive so option A is incorrect.

Therefore, option D is the correct choice and distance between these two elevations is $43:\frac{6}{7}$ .

M∠1=28°, m∠6=65°, m∠5=65°. Find m∠MAX

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

<MAX = 93

Step-by-step explanation:

Since <MAX is technically <1 + <5, we know that <1 is 28 and <5 is 65. We can add both of these angles up to solve for <MAX, which is 28 + 65 = 93.

Pls only do this if yk it because i’m giving correct answer brainliest! :))

Answer:

$x=2+\frac{1}{2}\sqrt[]{21}$

$x=2-\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{{21}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$4x^2-16x-26=-21$

Add 21 on both sides.

$4x^2-16x-26+21=-21+21$

$4x^2-16x-5=0$

a=4

b=-16

c=-5

$x=\frac{-b\frac{+}{}\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

$x=\frac{-(-16)\frac{+}{}\sqrt[]{(-16)^2-4(4)(-5)} }{2(4)}$

$x=\frac{16\frac{+}{}\sqrt[]{256+80} }{8}$

$x=\frac{16\frac{+}{}\sqrt[]{336} }{8}$

$x=\frac{16\frac{+}{}\sqrt[]{2^2*2^2*21} }{8}$

$x=\frac{16\frac{+}{}2*2\sqrt[]{21} }{8}$

$x=\frac{16\frac{+}{}4\sqrt[]{21} }{8}$

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

$x=\frac{16}{8}+\frac{4\sqrt[]{21}}{8}$

$x=2+\frac{1}{2}\sqrt[]{21}$

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

$x=\frac{16}{8}-\frac{4\sqrt[]{21}}{8}\\x=2-\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{{21}$

3(5j+2)=2(3j-6) how do i do this

ohaa [14]

3(5j+2)=2(3j-6) do distributed to remove parenthesis 15j+6=6j-3 . Then move all j to left side and the second term to right side 15j-6j=-3-6. Now solve both sides 9j= -9. Now divide both sides by 9 to get j alone to j = -1
