Answer:

41.67% probability that a student has a dog given that they have a cat

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

$P(A \cap B)$ is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: having a cat.

Event B: having a dog.

12 of 27 students have a cat:

This means that $P(A) = \frac{12}{27}$

5 students who have a cat and a dog.

This means that $P(A \cap B) = \frac{5}{27}$

What is the probability that a student has a dog given that they have a cat?

$P(B|A) = \frac{\frac{5}{27}}{\frac{12}{27}} = \frac{5}{12} = 0.4167$

41.67% probability that a student has a dog given that they have a cat

Answer:

b. DAC≅DBC

Step-by-step explanation:

∠DCB≅∠DCA=90° as they are right angles at the perpendicular lines

DC=DC reflexive property(they are the same line)

AC=CB they are both the radius of the same circle

DAC≅DBC due to SAS(Side angle Side)

Answer:

$-3 ± 2\sqrt{3} = x$

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 6x + 9 = 12 → x² + 6x - 3

Since this Quadratic Expression is unfactorable, apply the <em>Quadratic</em><em> </em><em>Formula</em>:

$x = -b ± \frac{\sqrt{{b}^{2} - 4ac}}{2a}$

$-6 ± \frac{\sqrt{{6}^{2} - 4(1)(-3)}}{2(1)} = -6 ± \frac{\sqrt{36 + 12}}{2} = -6 ± \frac{\sqrt{48}}{2} \\ \\ -3 ± 2\sqrt{3}$

√48 = √[3 × 16] = 4√3

½[4√3] = 2√3

Then attach half of -6 to it as well [-3]:

-3 ± 2√3

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

A rock thrown vertically upward from the surface of the moon at a velocity of 36m/sec reaches a height of s = 36t - 0.8 t^2 met

Verdich [7]

Answer:

a. The rock's velocity is $v(t)=36-1.6t \:{(m/s)}$ and the acceleration is $a(t)=-1.6 \:{(m/s^2)}$

b. It takes 22.5 seconds to reach the highest point.

c. The rock goes up to 405 m.

d. It reach half its maximum height when time is 6.59 s or 38.41 s.

e. The rock is aloft for 45 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Velocity is defined as the rate of change of position or the rate of displacement. $v(t)=\frac{ds}{dt}$
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. $a(t)=\frac{dv}{dt}$

a.

The rock's velocity is the derivative of the height function $s(t) = 36t - 0.8 t^2$

$v(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(36t - 0.8 t^2) \\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Sum/Difference\:Rule}:\quad \left(f\pm g\right)'=f\:'\pm g'\\\\v(t)=\frac{d}{dt}\left(36t\right)-\frac{d}{dt}\left(0.8t^2\right)\\\\v(t)=36-1.6t$

The rock's acceleration is the derivative of the velocity function $v(t)=36-1.6t$

$a(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(36-1.6t)\\\\a(t)=-1.6$

b. The rock will reach its highest point when the velocity becomes zero.

$v(t)=36-1.6t=0\\36\cdot \:10-1.6t\cdot \:10=0\cdot \:10\\360-16t=0\\360-16t-360=0-360\\-16t=-360\\t=\frac{45}{2}=22.5$

It takes 22.5 seconds to reach the highest point.

c. The rock reach its highest point when t = 22.5 s

Thus

$s(22.5) = 36(22.5) - 0.8 (22.5)^2\\s(22.5) =405$

So the rock goes up to 405 m.

d. The maximum height is 405 m. So the half of its maximum height = $\frac{405}{2} =202.5 \:m$

To find the time it reach half its maximum height, we need to solve

$36t - 0.8 t^2=202.5\\36t\cdot \:10-0.8t^2\cdot \:10=202.5\cdot \:10\\360t-8t^2=2025\\360t-8t^2-2025=2025-2025\\-8t^2+360t-2025=0$

For a quadratic equation of the form $ax^2+bx+c=0$ the solutions are

$x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=-8,\:b=360,\:c=-2025:\\\\t=\frac{-360+\sqrt{360^2-4\left(-8\right)\left(-2025\right)}}{2\left(-8\right)}=\frac{45\left(2-\sqrt{2}\right)}{4}\approx 6.59\\\\t=\frac{-360-\sqrt{360^2-4\left(-8\right)\left(-2025\right)}}{2\left(-8\right)}=\frac{45\left(2+\sqrt{2}\right)}{4}\approx 38.41$

It reach half its maximum height when time is 6.59 s or 38.41 s.

e. It is aloft until s(t) = 0 again

$36t - 0.8 t^2=0\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:}36t-0.8t^2\rightarrow -t\left(0.8t-36\right)\\\\\mathrm{The\:solutions\:to\:the\:quadratic\:equation\:are:}\\\\t=0,\:t=45$

The rock is aloft for 45 seconds.

An equation for annealing soda-lime glass is y(t)=−14t+500 , where t is time in minutes and y is the temperature of the glass in

beks73 [17]

An equation for annealing soda-lime glass is y(t)=−14t+500 , where t is time in minutes and y is the temperature of the glass in ˚C.

To find the y intercept , we plug in 0 for t

y intercept is the value , where time is 0 minutes

so we plug in 0 for t and find out y(0)

y(t)=−14t+500

y(0)=−14(0)+500 = 500

When t=0 , the value of y = 500

So , y intercept is (0,500)
