Answer:

1)28.8%

2)28.8%

3)43.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

1))Probability of wining both = Probability that first contract is won* Probability that second contract is won = 0.4 * 0.72 = 0.288 = 28.8%

2)Probability of losing = 1 - Probability of winning

Probability that they will lose both contracts = Probability that first contract is lost * Probability that second contract is lost = (1 - 40/100) * (1 - 54/100) = 0.276 = 27.6%

3)Probability that any one is won = 1 - both contracts are won - both contracts are lost = 1 - 0.276 - 0.288 = 0.436 = 43.6%

Sharon is jumping from an 18-foot diving board with an initial upward velocity of 4 ft/s. when sharon jumps, megan throws a beac
Alinara [238K]

It will take 1.08 seconds for the ball to reach Sharon after she jumps if the upward velocity of the ball is 16 ft/s from a height of 5 feet option third is correct.

<h3>What is the equation of motion?</h3>

It is defined as the equation by which we can find the motion of a physical particle with respect to time. It is the representation of physical entity movement in a mathematical function.

We have:

The height of the Sharon from the diving board = 18 feet

The initial upward velocity of the Sharon = 4 ft/s

The height of the Megan from the ground = 5 feet

The initial upward velocity of the beach ball = 16 ft/s

We know the equation of motion is given by:

\rm h(t) = x + ut+\frac{1}{2} gt^2

Put x = 18 feet and u = 4 ft/s in the above equation, we get:

\rm h(t) = 18 + 4t+\frac{1}{2} \times9.8t^2 ....(1)     [g = 9.8 m/s²]

Put x = 5 feet and u = 16 ft/s in the equation of motion, we get:

\rm h(t) = 5 + 16t+\frac{1}{2} \times9.8t^2  ....(2)

Equate the equation (1) and equation (2), we get

\rm  18 + 4t+\frac{1}{2} \times9.8t^2= 5 + 16t+\frac{1}{2} \times9.8t^2\\

18 + 4t = 5 + 16t

12t = 13

t = 1.08 seconds

Thus, it will take 1.08 seconds for the ball to reach Sharon after she jumps if the upward velocity of the ball is 16 ft/s from a height of 5 feet.

Find the distance between the points (3, -5) and (-6, -5).
Sophie [7]

ANSWER

9

EXPLANATION

We want to find the distance between the points (3, -5) and (-6, -5).

The given points have the same y-coordinates .

This means it is a horizontal line.

We use the absolute value method to find the distance between the two points.

We find the absolute value of the distance between the x-values.

The distance between the two points is

|3--6|=|3+6|=|9|=9

Factor: 28k^3-24k^2+49k-42<br><br> I will give Brainliest to the first person :)
seropon [69]

Answer:

(4k^2+7)(7k-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor each half of the expression separately:

4k^2(7k-6)+7(7k-6)

Since both 4k² and 7 are being multiplied by (7k-6), we can combine them to get:

(4k^2+7)(7k-6)
