Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Total: n counters

Blue counters: 1

Red counters: n - 1

a)

You can take a blue counter first followed by a red counter, or a red counter first followed by a blue counter. We find the probability of each and add them.

Take a blue counter first:

p(blue) = 1/n

Take a red counter second:

p(red) = (n - 1)/(n - 1)

p(blue and red) = 1/n * (n - 1)/(n - 1) = 1/n

or

Take a red counter first:

p(red) = (n - 1)/n

Take a blue counter second:

p(blue) = 1/(n - 1)

p(blue and red) = (n - 1)/n * 1/(n - 1) = 1/n

Add the two probabilities above:

1/n + 1/n = 2/n

The probability you pick a counter of each color is 2/n

b)

We are told the probability of picking one counter of each color is 0.125

2/n = 0.125

2 = 0.125n

n = 2/0.125 = 2/(1/8) = 16

n = 16

red counter: n - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15

Solve the equation cos (x/2) = cos x + 1. what are the solutions on the interval 0° ≤ x &lt; 360°?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

cos (x/2)=cos x+1

cos (x/2)=2cos ²(x/2)

2 cos²(x/2)-cos (x/2)=0

cos (x/2)[2 cos (x/2)-1]=0

cos (x/2)=0=cos π/2,cos (3π/2)=cos (2nπ+π/2),cos(2nπ+3π/2)

x/2=2nπ+π/2,2nπ+3π/2

x=4nπ+π,4nπ+3π

n=0,1,2,...

x=π,3π

or x=180°,540°,...

180°∈[0,360]

so x=180°

or

2cos(x/2)-1=0

cos (x/2)=1/2=cos60,cos (360-60)=cos 60,cos 300=cos (360n+60),cos (360n+300)

x/2=360n+60,360n+300

x=720n+120,720n+300

n=0,1,2,...

x=120,300,840,1020,...

only 120° and 300° ∈[0,360°]

Hence x=120°,180°,300°
