I'm about 75% confident in my answer. Saying that, I mean that i'm not always right. I think it's 73

The first choice can be any one of the 8 side dishes.
For each of these . . .
The 2nd choice can be any one of the remaining 7.

Total number of ways to pick 2 out of 8 = (8 x 7) = 56 ways .

BUT ...

That doesn't mean you can get 56 different sets of 2 side dishes.

For each different pair, there are 2 ways to choose them . . .
(first A then B), and (first B then A). Either way, you wind up with (A and B).

So yes, there are 56 different 'WAYS' to choose 2 out of 8.
But there are only 28 different possible results, and 2 'ways'
to get each result.

There are 5 green jelly beans, 7 red jelly beans and 8 yellow jelly beans. What percent of the jelly beans are red?

Answer: 35%

Step-by-step explanation:

8 + 5 + 7 = 20

50% = 10

25% = 5

10% = 2

5% = 1

25% + 10% = 5+2

35% = 7

Find the third side in simplest radical form can anybody help me with this please!

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

sqrt(98) aka $\sqrt{98}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the third side we need to use the Pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2) so let 3 = a and b = sqrt(89) so a^2 = 9 and for b^2 just ignore the square root so b^2 = 89 then we add 9 and 89 89 + 9 = 98 so c^2 = 98 then we do the square root of 98 since the square root of 98 isn't a whole number/ has a decimal we just leave it written as sqrt(98)

part 3. Find the value of the trig function indicated, use Pythagorean theorem to find the third side if you need it.

Nat2105 [25]

Answer: $\bold{9)\ \sin \theta=\dfrac{1}{3}\qquad 10)\ \sin \theta = \dfrac{4}{5}\qquad 11)\ \cos \theta = \dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}\qquad 12)\ \tan \theta = \dfrac{17\sqrt2}{26}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem is: a² + b² = c² , where "c" is the hypotenuse

$9)\ \sin \theta=\dfrac{\text{side opposite of}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{4}{12}\quad \rightarrow \large\boxed{\dfrac{1}{3}}$

Note: 4² + (8√2)² = hypotenuse² → hypotenuse = 12

$10)\ \sin \theta=\dfrac{\text{side opposite of}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{16}{20}\quad \rightarrow \large\boxed{\dfrac{4}{5}}$

Note: 12² + opposite² = 20² → opposite = 16

$11)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}}$

Note: adjacent² + 5² = 6² → adjacent = √11

$12)\ \tan \theta=\dfrac{\text{side opposite of}\ \theta}{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}=\dfrac{17}{13\sqrt2}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{17\sqrt2}{26}}$

Note: adjacent² + 7² = (13√2)² → adjacent = 17

im so confused and I'm ready to just throw my computer at the wall, how do you graph 3/5x + 9? i get the graphing the y intercep

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

start by placing a point on 9

Step-by-step explanation:

then use "rise over run" ( which is ri/ru) so you go up 3, then over 5. (hope this helps!)
