Answer:

7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

7/8 = .875

10/12 = .833

12/14 = .857

7/10 = .7

1/2 - .5

Answer:

7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparison of these three fractions is easier if you convert them so that all have the same denominator.

"Closer to 1/2 than to 1" implies that the fraction chosen lies between 1/2 and 3/4, that is, between 0.500 and 0.750.

7/8 = 0.875 must be rejected. It does not satisfy this criterion. 0.875 is NOT closer to 1/2 than it is to 1.

10/12 = 0.833 must be rejected for the same reason.

12/14 = 6/7 must be rejected for the same reason

7/10 = 0.700 satisfies the criterion (it lies closer to 1/2 than it does to 1).

From a hot-air balloon, Madison measures a 36^{\circ}

krek1111 [17]

The balloon’s vertical distance above the ground is 570.3 feet

<h3>Angle of elevation and depression</h3>

Given the following parameters

The angle of depression = 36 degrees

Base distance = 785 feet

<h3>Required</h3>

vertical distance above the ground (H)

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

tan 36 = H/785
H = 785tan36

H = 570.3 feet

Hence the balloon’s vertical distance above the ground is 570.3 feet

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the domain ( values of x ) that a quadratic can have is all real numbers

domain : - ∞ < x < ∞

the range ( values of y ) are from the vertex upwards , that is

range : y ≥ - 2

Let x be the ages of students in a class. Given the frequency distribution f(x) above, determine the following probabilities:.

lora16 [44]

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of events

The value of the probability P(x < 24) is 0.7895

<h3>How to calculate the probability P(x < 24)?</h3>

This is calculated as:

$P(x < 24) = \frac{n(x < 24)}{Total}$

So, we have:

$P(x < 24) = \frac{22 + 3 + 5}{22 + 3 + 5 + 4 + 4}$

Evaluate the sums

$P(x < 24) = \frac{30}{38}$

Evaluate the quotient

$P(x < 24) = 0.7895$

Hence, the value of the probability P(x < 24) is 0.7895
