Use the unit circle to find the value of tan (-180°).

In order to evaluate the tangent function "visually", you have to draw a vertical line tangent to the circle (i.e. the line x=1), and extend the radius until it meets that line.

Since the angle -180° makes you land on point (-1,0), if you extend the radius you'll meet the vertical line at point (1,0).

The tangent is the y-value of this point, and thus it's zero.

How do I write this fraction as a decimal 14 3/5

Softa [21]

we have

$14 \frac{3}{5}$

This is a mixed number

we know that

A mixed number is a combination of a whole number and a fraction.

$14 \frac{3}{5}$ is equal to

$14 +\frac{3}{5}$

where

$14$ is the whole number

$\frac{3}{5}$ is the fraction

$\frac{3}{5}=0.60$

$14 +\frac{3}{5} =14+0.60\\ \\ =14.60$

therefore

the answer is

$14.60$

A batch consists of 12 defective coils and 88 good ones. Find the probability of getting two good coils when two coils are rando

Allushta [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

The probability of getting two good coils when two coils are randomly selected if the first selection is replaced before the second is made is 0.7744

<u>Solution:</u>

Total number of coils = number of good coils + defective coils = 88 + 12 = 100

p(getting two good coils for two selection) = p( getting 2 good coils for first selection ) $\times$ p(getting 2 good coils for second selection)
