Answer:

216/343 or 0.6297 (4dp)

Step-by-step explanation:

Anytime the probability of an event occurs more than once in a particular order (one time after another in the same instance), then the probability is multiplied together. If the probability of him making the shot is 1/7, then the probability of him missing it is 6/7. This is because this is the only other possible outcomes and all outcome probabilities must add to 1 (1-1/7 - 6/7).

So, if he misses it three times in a row then the probability is:

6/7 (probability miss this first time) x 6/7 (probability miss second time) x 6/7 (probability miss 3rd time).

6/7 x 6/7 x 6/7 = 216/343

or 0.6297 (4dp)

Hope this helped!

Answer:

∫▒〖arctan⁡(x).1 dx=arctan⁡(x).x〗-1/2  ln⁡(1+x^2 )+C

Step-by-step explanation:

∫▒〖1st .2nd dx=1st∫▒〖2nd dx〗-∫▒〖(derivative of 1st) dx∫▒〖2nd dx〗〗〗

Let 1st=arctan⁡(x)

And 2nd=1

∫▒〖arctan⁡(x).1 dx=arctan⁡(x) ∫▒〖1 dx〗-∫▒〖(derivative of arctan(x))dx∫▒〖1 dx〗〗〗

As we know that  

derivative of arctan(x)=1/(1+x^2 )

∫▒〖1 dx〗=x

So  

∫▒〖arctan⁡(x).1 dx=arctan⁡(x).x〗-∫▒〖(1/(1+x^2 ))dx.x〗…………Eq1

Let’s solve ∫▒(1/(1+x^2 ))dx by substitution now  

Let 1+x^2=u

du=2xdx

Multiply and divide ∫▒〖(1/(1+x^2 ))dx.x〗 by 2 we get

1/2 ∫▒〖(2/(1+x^2 ))dx.x〗=1/2 ∫▒(2xdx/u)  

1/2 ∫▒(2xdx/u) =1/2 ∫▒(du/u)  

1/2 ∫▒(2xdx/u) =1/2  ln⁡(u)+C

1/2 ∫▒(2xdx/u) =1/2  ln⁡(1+x^2 )+C

Putting values in Eq1 we get

∫▒〖arctan⁡(x).1 dx=arctan⁡(x).x〗-1/2  ln⁡(1+x^2 )+C  (required soultion)

Please help I need to turn this in today.
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have a Ti-84 series calculator, press "stat" then "Edit..." and then fill in the data table values for x and y in two lists. Then press "2nd" and "mode" to quit. Now press "stat" again and right arrow over to "calc" and press down until you find "ExpReg" and set the "Xlist" and "Ylist" that you used and you will get C as the answer. Another way to do this is to manually substitute values into all 4 equations, which is boring.
