aj paid $31.86 for a new basketball. The price he paid included sales tax of 6.25%. Which equation can be used to find the price

, p, of the basketball before tax? A. p + 0.0625p = 31.86 B. 6.25p = 31.86 C. 0.0625p = 31.86 D. p + 6.25p = 31.86

Miles incorrectly gave the product of 7 * 2.6 as 14 * 42 to use a place value chart or an area model to help miles understand hi

mrs_skeptik [129]

It looks like he used the distributive property. He multiplied 7*2. Then. 7*6. Then he multiplied them together. That is not how you multiply numbers

Find the value of $x$ for the right triangle. A right triangle with base labeled x and hypotenuse labeled 12 units. Angle betwee

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

6 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle described in the question has been sketched in the picture attached below :

From the triangle, we could solve for X, which is the base of the triangle using trigonometry :

Sinθ = opposite / hypotenus

Sin 30° = x / 12

0.5 = x / 12

x = 12 * 0.5

x = 6 feets

Hence base, x = 6 feets

Here is a uniform probability distribution.

Darya [45]

a) $P(4\le X\le6)=\dfrac25$ because it is equal to the area of the shaded region between X=4 and X=6, and the probability that X falls within some interval is given by the area under the PDF.

b) $a=3$ because the shaded region is a rectangle of height 1/5 (by virtue of X following a uniform distribution over the interval [2, 7], which has length 5).

Solve for b. -11b+7 = 40−11b+7=40

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

This equation is false

Step-by-step explanation:

Well,

-11b + 7 = 4 - 11b + 7 = 40

combine like terms

-11b + 7 = -11b + 3 = 40

Communicative property

-3 to both sides

-11b + 4 = -11b = 40

-4 to both sides

-11b = -11b = 36

+11b to both sides

0 = 36

0 is not equal to 36 meaning that this equation is false.

<em>Thus,</em>

<em>the equation given is false.</em>

Cos^2x+cos^2(120°+x)+cos^2(120°-x)<br>i need this asap. pls help me

o-na [289]

Answer:

$\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the addition formulae for cosine

cos(x ± y) = cosxcosy ∓ sinxsiny

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

cos(120 + x) = cos120cosx - sin120sinx

= - cos60cosx - sin60sinx

= - $\frac{1}{2}$ cosx - $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}$ sinx

squaring to obtain cos² (120 + x)

= $\frac{1}{4}$ cos²x + $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}$ sinxcosx + $\frac{3}{4}$ sin²x

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

cos(120 - x) = cos120cosx + sin120sinx

= -cos60cosx + sin60sinx

= - $\frac{1}{2}$ cosx + $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}$ sinx

squaring to obtain cos²(120 - x)

= $\frac{1}{4}$ cos²x - $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}$ sinxcosx + $\frac{3}{4}$ sin²x

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

Putting it all together

cos²x + $\frac{1}{4}$ cos²x + $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}$ sinxcosx + $\frac{3}{4}$ sin²x + $\frac{1}{4}$ cos²x - $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}$ sinxcosx + $\frac{3}{4}$ sin²x

= cos²x + $\frac{1}{2}$ cos²x + $\frac{3}{2}$ sin²x

= $\frac{3}{2}$ cos²x + $\frac{3}{2}$ sin²x

= $\frac{3}{2}$ (cos²x + sin²x) = $\frac{3}{2}$
