Answer:

0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for conditional probability.

P(B|A) = P(A&B)/P(A) = 0.20/0.50 = 0.4

Answer: P(B/A) = 0.40.

Step-by-step explanation: For any two events A and B, given that

$P(A)=0.50,~~P(B)=0.80,~~P(A\cap B)=0.20.$

We are to find the conditional probability of happening of event B given event A has already happened.

That is,

$P(B/A)=?$

From the formula for conditional probability, we have

$P(B/A)=\dfrac{P(B\cap A)}{P(A)}\\\\\\\Rightarrow P(B/A)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}\\\\\\\Rightarrow P(B/A)=\dfrac{0.20}{0.50}\\\\\\\Rightarrow P(B/A)=0.40.$

Thus, P(B/A) = 0.40.

A washer and dryer cost $803 combind the washer costs $47 less then the dryer whats is the cost of the dryer

Naddik [55]

Answer:

the dryer costs $425

Step-by-step explanation:

x = washer

y = dryer

x + y = 803

x = y - 47

using the second equation a substitute in the first equation we get

y - 47 + y = 803

2y = 850

y = $425

FYI

x = y - 47 = 425 - 47 = $378

If the slope of AB = CD and BC = AD it's a parallelogram:

Slope of AB = 6+1 / -9+5 = -7/4

CD = -2-5 / 3+1 = -74

These are equal.

BC = 5-6 / -1 +9 = -1/8

AD = -2 +1 / 3+5 = -1/8

These are also equal so it is a parallelogram.

Now to find if the diagonals are perpendicular find the slope of the perpensicular points:

AC = 5 +1 / -1 +5 = 6/4 = 3/2

BD = 6+2 / -9 -3 = 8/-12 = -2/3

Because BD is the reciprocal of AC, this means they are perpendicular.

And because AB is not perpendicular to AD ( AB and AD are not reciprocals) it is a rhombus.

Use this list of Basic Taylor Series and the identity sin2θ= 1 2 (1−cos(2θ)) to find the Taylor Series for f(x) = sin2(3x) based

notsponge [240]

Answer:

The Taylor series for $sin^2(3 x) = - \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{-9^{n}2^{2n-1}x^{2n}}{(2n)!}$ , the first three non-zero terms are $9x^{2} -27x^{4}+\frac{162}{5}x^{6}$ and the interval of convergence is $( -\infty, \infty )$

Step-by-step explanation:

These are the steps to find the Taylor series for the function $sin^2(3 x)$

Use the trigonometric identity:

$sin^{2}(x)=\frac{1}{2}*(1-cos(2x))\\ sin^{2}(3x)=\frac{1}{2}*(1-cos(2(3x)))\\ sin^{2}(3x)=\frac{1}{2}*(1-cos(6x))$

2. The Taylor series of $cos(x)$

$cos(y) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{-1^{n}y^{2n}}{(2n)!}$

Substituting y=6x we have:

$cos(6x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{-1^{n}6^{2n}x^{2n}}{(2n)!}$

3. Find the Taylor series for $sin^2(3x)$

$sin^{2}(3x)=\frac{1}{2}*(1-cos(6x))$ (1)

$cos(6x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{-1^{n}6^{2n}x^{2n}}{(2n)!}$ (2)

Substituting (2) in (1) we have:

$\frac{1}{2} (1-\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{-1^{n}6^{2n}x^{2n}}{(2n)!})\\ \frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2} \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{-1^{n}6^{2n}x^{2n}}{(2n)!}$

Bring the factor $\frac{1}{2}$ inside the sum

$\frac{6^{2n}}{2}=9^{n}2^{2n-1} \\ (-1^{n})(9^{n})=(-9^{n} )$

$\frac{1}{2}-\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{-9^{n}2^{2n-1}x^{2n}}{(2n)!}$

Extract the term for n=0 from the sum:

$\frac{1}{2}-\sum_{n=0}^{0}\frac{-9^{0}2^{2*0-1}x^{2*0}}{(2*0)!}-\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{-9^{n}2^{2n-1}x^{2n}}{(2n)!}\\ \frac{1}{2} -\frac{1}{2} -\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{-9^{n}2^{2n-1}x^{2n}}{(2n)!}\\ 0-\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{-9^{n}2^{2n-1}x^{2n}}{(2n)!}\\ sin^{2}(3x)=-\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{-9^{n}2^{2n-1}x^{2n}}{(2n)!}$

To find the first three non-zero terms you need to replace n=3 into the sum

$sin^{2}(3x)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{-9^{n}2^{2n-1}x^{2n}}{(2n)!}\\ \sum_{n=1}^{3}\frac{-9^{3}2^{2*3-1}x^{2*3}}{(2*3)!} = 9x^{2} -27x^{4}+\frac{162}{5}x^{6}$

To find the interval on which the series converges you need to use the Ratio Test that says

For the power series centered at x=a

$P(x)=C_{0}+C_{1}(x-a)+C_{2}(x-a)^{2}+...+ C_{n}(x-a)^{n}+...,$

suppose that $\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{C_{n}}{C_{n+1}}| = R.$ . Then

If $R=\infty,$ the the series converges for all x
If $0$ then the series converges for all $|x-a|$
If R=0, the the series converges only for x=a

So we need to evaluate this limit:

$\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{\frac{-9^{n}2^{2n-1}x^{2n}}{(2n)!}}{\frac{-9^{n+1}2^{2*(n+1)-1}x^{2*(n+1)}}{(2*(2n+1))!}} |$

Simplifying we have:

$\lim_{n \to \infty} |-\frac{(n+1)(2n+1)}{18x^{2} } |$

Next we need to evaluate the limit

$\lim_{n \to \infty} |-\frac{(n+1)(2n+1)}{18x^{2} } |\\ \frac{1}{18x^{2} } \lim_{n \to \infty} |-(n+1)(2n+1)}|}$

-(n+1)(2n+1) is negative when n -> ∞. Therefore $|-(n+1)(2n+1)}|=2n^{2}+3n+1$

You can use this infinity property $\lim_{x \to \infty} (ax^{n}+...+bx+c) = \infty$ when a>0 and n is even. So

$\lim_{n \to \infty} |-\frac{(n+1)(2n+1)}{18x^{2} } | \\ \frac{1}{18x^{2}} \lim_{n \to \infty} 2n^{2}+3n+1=\infty$

Because this limit is ∞ the radius of converge is ∞ and the interval of converge is $( -\infty, \infty )$ .
