Captain Gabriela has a ship, the H.M.S. Khan. The ship is two furlongs from the dread pirate Daniel and his merciless band of th

ieves.
The Captain has probability 1/2 of hitting the pirate ship. The pirate only has one good eye, so he hits the Captain's ship with probability 1/3

If both fire their cannons at the same time, what is the probability that both the Captain and the pirate miss?

Answer:

1/3 or 33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

If the Captain has a probability of 1/2 of hitting the pirate ship, then he has a probability of 1/2 of missing the pirate ship.

As for the pirate, if he has a probability of 1/3 of hitting the Captain's ship, then he has a probability of 2/3 of missing the pirate ship.

The probability that both miss after firing at the same time is:

P=\frac{1}{2}*\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2}{6}\\P=\frac{1}{3}

The probability of both missing is 1/3 or 33.33%.

Let f be a differentiable function such that f(1)=π and f'(x)=√x^3+6. what is the value of f(5)?
natali 33 [55]

The value of f(5) is 49.1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find f(x) from f'(x) use the integration

f(x) = ∫ f'(x)

1. Find The integration of f'(x) with the constant term

2. Substitute x by 1 and f(x) by π to find the constant term

3. Write the differential function f(x) and substitute x by 5 to find f(5)

∵ f'(x) = \sqrt{x^{3}} + 6

- Change the root to fraction power

∵ \sqrt{x^{3}} = x^{\frac{3}{2}}

∴ f'(x) = x^{\frac{3}{2}} + 6

∴ f(x) = ∫ x^{\frac{3}{2}} + 6

- In integration add the power by 1 and divide the coefficient by the

 new power and insert x with the constant term

∴ f(x) = \frac{x^{\frac{5}{2}}}{\frac{5}{2}} + 6x + c

- c is the constant of integration

∵ \frac{x^{\frac{5}{2}}}{\frac{5}{2}}=\frac{2}{5}x^{\frac{5}{2}}

∴ f(x) = \frac{2}{5} x^{\frac{5}{2}} + 6x + c

- To find c substitute x by 1 and f(x) by π

∴ π = \frac{2}{5} (1)^{\frac{5}{2}} + 6(1) + c

∴ π = \frac{2}{5} + 6 + c

∴ π = 6.4 + c

- Subtract 6.4 from both sides

∴ c = - 3.2584

∴ f(x) = \frac{2}{5} x^{\frac{5}{2}} + 6x - 3.2584

To find f(5) Substitute x by 5

∵ x = 5

∴ f(5) = \frac{2}{5} (5)^{\frac{5}{2}} + 6(5) - 3.2584

∴ f(5) = 49.1

The value of f(5) is 49.1

5x - y = -3 in slope intercept form?
mixas84 [53]
5x-y=-8 | subtract 5x from both sides.


-y = -5x - 8 | divide both sides by -1


y = 5x + 8 Done.

Given the following information, write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form. Slope = -8 and y-intercept = 4
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

y = -8x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the y = mx +b for the slope intercept form, the m stands for the slope and the b stands for the y-intercept.

In this case, the slope is -8 and the y-int is 4 so we naturally plug those in

OI 00<br>R<br>b) From the given figure:<br>write the alternate<br>angle of angle RUN<br>P<br>$<br>2​
Ainat [17]

Answer:

alternate angle to angle RUN is angle POU

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate angles are defined as angles that are located in opposite positions when we look at them relative to a transverse line that intersects two horizontal lines.

Now, we want to find the alternate angle to angle RUN.

The same transverse line cuts the other horizontal line PQ at point O.

Therefore the alternate angle to angle RUN is angle POU
