Answer:

a = 4, p = 2, q = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the right side of the identity, then compare the coefficients of like terms with those on the left side.

a(x - p)² + q ← expand (x - p)² using FOIL

= a(x² - 2px + p²) + q ← distribute parenthesis

= ax² - 2apx + ap² + q

Compare coefficients of x² term

a = 4

Compare coefficients of x- term

- 2ap = - 16, that is

- 2(4)p = - 16

- 8p = - 16 ( divide both sides by - 8 )

p = 2

Compare constant terms

ap² + q = 15 , that is

4(2)² + q = 15

16 + q = 15 ( subtract 16 from both sides )

q = - 1

Thus a = 4, p = 2, q = - 1

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the parameters

m2 ROC = 31° and

m2 COL = 52°

According to the diagram in the attachment;

m2 ROL = m2 ROC + m2 COL

Substitute the given values into the expression as shown;

m2 ROL= 31°+52°

m2 ROL = 83°

Find an equation of the tangent plane to the given surface at the specified point. z = ln(x − 8y), (9, 1, 0)

Archy [21]

Answer:

x - 8y - z = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided according to the question is as follows

f(x,y) = z = ln(x - 8y)

Now the equation for the tangent plane to the surface

For z = f (x,y) at the point P $(x_0,y_0,z_0)$ is

$z - z_0 = f_x(x_0,y_0)(x-x_0) + f_y(x_0,y_0)(y-y_0)\\$

Now the partial derivatives of f are

$f_x(x,y) = \frac{1}{x-8y} \\\\f_y(x,y) = \frac{8}{x-8y} \\\\P(x_0,y_0,z_0) = (9,1,0)\\\\f_z(9,1,0) = (\frac{1}{x-8y})_^{(9,1,0)}$

$\\\\=\frac{1}{9-8}$

= 1

Now

$f_y(9,1,0)=(\frac{8}{x-8y})_{(9,1,0)}\\\\ = -\frac{8}{9 - 8}$

= -8

So, the tangent equation is

$z - 0 = 1\times (x - 9) -8\times (y - 1)$

Now after solving this, the following equation arise

z = x - 9 - 8y + 8

z = x - 8y - 1

Therefore

x - 8y - z = 1

If you draw four cards at random from a standard deck of 52 cards, what is the probability that all 4 cards have distinct charac

mezya [45]

There are $\binom{52}4$ ways of drawing a 4-card hand, where

$\dbinom nk = \dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$

is the so-called binomial coefficient.

There are 13 different card values, of which we want the hand to represent 4 values, so there are $\binom{13}4$ ways of meeting this requirement.

For each card value, there are 4 choices of suit, of which we only pick 1, so there are $\binom41$ ways of picking a card of any given value. We draw 4 cards from the deck, so there are $\binom41^4$ possible hands in which each card has a different value.

Then there are $\binom{13}4 \binom41^4$ total hands in which all 4 cards have distinct values, and the probability of drawing such a hand is

$\dfrac{\dbinom{13}4 \dbinom41^4}{\dbinom{52}4} = \boxed{\dfrac{2816}{4165}} \approx 0.6761$

What is the length of BC? Round to the nearest tenth.

emmasim [6.3K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant trig relation is ...

Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

sin(65°) = BC/BA

BC = BA·sin(65°) ≈ (16 cm)·0.9063 ≈ 14.501 cm

BC ≈ 14.5 cm

_____

Additional comment

As is often the case, a simple estimate is all that is needed to identify the correct answer choice.

You only need to know how the long side of a right triangle compares to the others. In an isosceles right triangle, both legs are √2/2 ≈ 0.71 times the hypotenuse. The long side of a right triangle will never be shorter than that. This means the long side must be greater than about 11.2, and cannot be greater than 16. There is only one answer choice in that range.
