Starting at a fixed time, each car entering an intersection is observed to see whether it turns left (L), right (R), or goes str

aight ahead (A). The experiment terminates as soon as a car is observed to turn left. Let X = the number of cars observed. What are possible X values?Given the outcomes below, find their associated X values.Outcome: RRL AARRL AARL RRAL ARLx= _____

Answer:

The possible X values are the natural numbers.

RRL: X=3

AARRL: X=5

AARL: X=4

RRAL: X=4

ARL: X=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are going to observe the cars and the experiment will end when one of them turns left, and X is the number of cars observed, the possible X values will be the natural numbers (1,2,3....). Clearly we can observe any number of cars before one of them turns left. We cannot observe negative numbers of cars, or zero cars (We are going to observe at least one car), or fractions of cars.

Given the outcomes below, find their associated X values:

For this part of the problem, we are going to count how many cars we observed in total and that will be the X value.

RRL: X=3

AARRL: X=5

AARL: X=4

RRAL: X=4

ARL: X=3

2m=-6n-5 literal equation
Bingel [31]

Answer:

read below

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, archtan /  

tan

−

1

(

x

)

is the inverse of tangent. Tan is  

sin

cos

. Like the inverse of sin, the inverse of tan is also restricted to quadrants 1 and 4.

Knowing this we are solving for the inverse of tan -1. We are basically being asked the question what angle/radian does tan(-1) equal. Using the unit circle we can see that tan(1)= pi/4.

Since the "Odds and Evens Identity" states that tan(-x) = -tan(x). Tan(-1)= -pi/4.

Knowing that tan is negative in quadrants 2 and 4. the answer is in either of those two quadrants. BUT!!! since inverse of tan is restricted to quadrants 1 and 4 we are left with the only answer -pi/4.

the answer is m=-3n-5/2 or n=2m+5/6

Andrew
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Let's say Bailey takes "b" days to paint it.

and Andrew takes "a" days to paint the same house.

now, Andrew is 6 times faster than Bailey, therefore, if Andrew takes "a" days to do it, Bailey takes then "6a" days, or b = 6a.

now, the year they worked together, they finished it in 7 days.

so, after 1 day then, they have only done 1/7 of the whole work.

and Andrew for one day, has done 1/a of the house, whilst Bailey has done 1/b of the house or 1/(6a).

\bf \stackrel{\textit{Andrew's rate}}{\cfrac{1}{a}}+\stackrel{\textit{Bailey's rate}}{\cfrac{1}{b}}=\stackrel{\textit{1 day of work}}{\cfrac{1}{7}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1}{a}+\cfrac{1}{6a}=\cfrac{1}{7}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{let's multiply all by }\stackrel{LCD}{42a}\textit{ to toss the}\\
denominators
\end{array}

\bf 42a\left( \cfrac{1}{a}+\cfrac{1}{6a} \right)=42a\left( \cfrac{1}{7} \right)\implies 42+7=6a\implies \cfrac{49}{6}=a
\\\\\\
\stackrel{days}{8\frac{1}{6}}=a
\\\\\\
\textit{how many days will it take Bailey then?}\quad b=6a
\\\\\\
b=6\cdot \cfrac{49}{6}\implies b=\stackrel{days}{49}

The sum of two numbers is 240. If one number is twice the other number, find the two numbers.
Deffense [45]

Answer:

The sum of two numbers is 240. The larger number is 6 less than twice the smaller. Find the numbers.

----------

Let the smaller be "x" ; Larger is "2x-6"

EQUATION:

x + 2x-6 = 240

3x= 246

x = 82 (smaller)

2x-6 = 158 (larger)
