In mathematics, Pascal's triangle is a triangular array of the binomial coefficients. In much of the Western world, it is named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal, although other mathematicians studied it centuries before him in India, Persia, China, Germany, and Italy.

A 9.85 m ladder is placed against a wall. The height to the top of the ladder is 5 m more than the distance between the wall and

Dafna1 [17]

Given:

Length of the ladder = 9.85 m

The height to the top of the ladder is 5 m more than the distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder.

To find:

The height to the top and the distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder.

Solution:

let x be the distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder. Then the height to the top of the ladder is (x+5).

Pythagoras theorem: In a right angle triangle,

$Hypotenuse^2=Base^2+Perpendicular^2$

In the given situation, hypotenuse is the length of ladder, i.e., 9.85 m. The base is x m and the height is (x+5) m.

Using the Pythagoras theorem, we get

$(9.85)^2=x^2+(x+5)^2$

$97.0225=x^2+x^2+10x+25$

$0=2x^2+10x+25-97.0225$

$0=2x^2+10x-72.0225$

Here, $a=2, b=10,c=-72.0225$ . Using the quadratic formula, we get

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\dfrac{-10\pm \sqrt{(10)^2-4(2)(-72.0225)}}{2(2)}$

$x=\dfrac{-10\pm \sqrt{676.18}}{4}$

Approximating the value, we get

$x=\dfrac{-10\pm 26}{4}$

$x=\dfrac{-10+26}{4},\dfrac{-10-26}{4}$

$x=\dfrac{16}{4},\dfrac{-36}{4}$

$x=4,-9$

Distance cannot be negative so $x\neq -9.$

Now we have $x=4$

$x+5=4+5$

$x+5=9$

Therefore, the base is 4 m and the height is 9 m.

Which of the following could be the probability distribution for a loaded number cube?

Ierofanga [76]

<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

The requirements for a probability distribution are this

The individual probabilities must be between 0 and 1, inclusive of both endpoints. We can say $0 \le p \le 1$ where p is an individual probability.
The probabilities must sum to 1.

Condition #1 shown above allows us to rule out choice C due to -0.10 not being in the interval from 0 to 1.

We can also rule out choice D since the probabilities sum to this

0.20+0.15+0.20+0.20+0.20+0.20 = 1.15

The sum is too large. The sum needs to be 1.00 or just 1.

So that leaves choice A or choice B as the possible answer. Both distributions fit conditions #1 and #2 as shown above (I'll let you confirm these facts). However, choice A is ruled out because that distribution is considered fair. Each probability for choice A is equal, so each side of the cube is equally likely to be landed on.

For choice B, the probabilities are different, so we don't have a fair cube here and it is considered loaded or biased.

Please Help. I really don’t get this concept, if you could explain it in detail it would be very appreciated

Dafna11 [192]

<h3>Answer: 24/25</h3>

=================================================

Explanation:

Sine is given to be negative, and so is tangent. This only happens in quadrant Q4

Recall that y = sin(theta), so if sin(theta) < 0, then we're below the x axis.

If tan(theta) < 0, then this means cos(theta) > 0

So we have y < 0 and x > 0 which places the angle somewhere in Q4.

--------------------------

Draw a right triangle as shown below in the attached image. We have AC = 25 and BC = 7. Use the pythagorean theorem to find that AB = 24

So this is what your steps may look like

a^2+b^2 = c^2

7^2+b^2 = 25^2

b^2+49 = 625

b^2 = 625-49

b^2 = 576

b = sqrt(576)

b = 24

So because AB = 24, we know that the cosine of the angle is adjacent/hypotenuse = 24/25

---------------------------

As an alternative, you could use the trig identity

sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1

and plug in the given value of sine to solve for cosine. The cosine value result will be positive since we're in Q4.

So,

sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1

(-7/25)^2 + cos^2(x) = 1

(49/625) + cos^2(x) = 1

cos^2(x) = 1 - (49/625)

cos^2(x) = (625/625) - (49/625)

cos^2(x) = (625-49)/625

cos^2(x) = 576/625

cos(x) = sqrt(576/625)

cos(x) = sqrt(576)/sqrt(625)

cos(x) = 24/25

This is effectively a rephrasing of the previous section since the pythagorean trig identity is more or less the pythagorean theorem (just in a trig form)
