Answer:

0.001709

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting 9 tails then 1 head is:

(½)⁹ (½)¹ = (½)¹⁰

The probability of getting 10 tails then 1 head is:

(½)¹⁰ (½)¹ = (½)¹¹

The probability of getting 11 tails then 1 head is:

(½)¹¹ (½)¹ = (½)¹²

The total probability is:

(½)¹⁰ + (½)¹¹ + (½)¹²

A car travels 2.5 hours in a northerly Direction for 300 KM. what is the speed and velocity

STatiana [176]

Speed is distance traveled per block of time. As an equation, this is
Speed = distance/time

In your problem, the given distance is 300km, and the time is 2.5 hours.
Plugging into the equation,
Speed = 300km / 2.5 h
Speed = 120 km/h

Velocity is speed and direction.
The velocity would be 120 km/h north.

Step-by-step explanation:

$slope = \frac{rise}{run} = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} \\ = \frac{ - 7 - 13}{5 - ( - 3)} \\ = \frac{ - 20}{8} \\ = \frac{ - 2 \times 10}{2 \times 4} \\ = \frac{ - 10}{4} \\ = \frac{ - 2 \times 5}{ 2 \times 2} = \frac{5}{2}$

Write an equation for a parabola in which the set of all points in the plane are equidistant from the focus and line F(-6,0); x=

Bogdan [553]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have a vertical directrix, the equation of the parabola is

$(y - k) {}^{2} = 4p(x - h)$

Where p is the distance from the vertex to the directrix.

or the distance from the vertex to the focus.

Since we have a sideways parabola, let use the point for the directrix is (-6,0). So let find the midpoint of (-6,0) and (6,0). That would be our vertex.

$\frac{ - 6 + 6)}{2} = 0$
