See the attached picture:
There are C(5,2) = 10 ways to choose 2 contraband shipments from the 5. There are C(11, 1) = 11 ways to choose a non-contraband shipment from the 11 that are not contraband. Hence there are 10*11 = 110 ways to choose 3 shipments that have 2 contraband shipments among them.
There are C(16,3) = 560 ways to choose 3 shipments from 16. The probability that 2 of those 3 will contain contraband is
110/560 = 11/56 ≈ 19.6%
_____
C(n,k) = n!/(k!(n-k)!)
Problem 1
x = measure of angle N
2x = measure of angle M, twice as large as N
3(2x) = 6x = measure of angle O, three times as large as M
The three angles add to 180 which is true of any triangle.
M+N+O = 180
x+2x+6x = 180
9x = 180
x = 180/9
x = 20 is the measure of angle N
Use this x value to find that 2x = 2*20 = 40 and 6x = 6*20 = 120 to represent the measures of angles M and O in that order.
<h3>Answers:</h3>
- Angle M = 40 degrees
- Angle N = 20 degrees
- Angle O = 120 degrees
====================================================
Problem 2
n = number of sides
S = sum of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides
S = 180(n-2)
2700 = 180(n-2)
n-2 = 2700/180
n-2 = 15
n = 15+2
n = 17
<h3>Answer: 17 sides</h3>
====================================================
Problem 3
x = smaller acute angle
3x = larger acute angle, three times as large
For any right triangle, the two acute angles always add to 90.
x+3x = 90
4x = 90
x = 90/4
x = 22.5
This leads to 3x = 3*22.5 = 67.5
<h3>Answers:</h3>
- Smaller acute angle = 22.5 degrees
- Larger acute angle = 67.5 degrees
Answer:
1.) 12000
2.) 6750
3.) 2.41
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the Equation :
f(t)=12,000(3/4)^t. ; where, t = time ; f(t) = worth of car at time, t
When, car was purchased, t = 0
t = 0
f(0) = 12000(3/4)^0
= 12000 * 1
= 12000
2.)
f(2) ; this mean the worth of the car after 2 years :
f(2)=12,000(3/4)^t.
12000(3/4)^2
12000 * 0.5625
= 6750
When car will be worth 6000
f(t) = 6000
f(t)=12,000(3/4)^t.
6000 = 12,000(3/4)^t
6000 / 12000 = (3/4)^t
1/2 = (3/4)^t
Take the log of both sides :
Log(0.5) = log(0.75)^t
log(0.5) = tlog(0.75)
- 0.301029 = - 0.124938t
t = - 0.301029 / - 0.124938
t = 2.4094
t = 2.41 years
-7, because you distribute it to both -4 and 3.2, which means you're multiplying it to both.
