Answer:

We can estimate a population of 500 birds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can estimate the total bird population using a rule of three with the information given:

If we find 5 birds with the foot band among 100 birds captured, how many birds there are in total if inicially we put foot bands in 25 birds?

5 birds with foot band -> 100 birds captured

25 birds with foot band -> X total birds

X * 5 = 25 * 100

X = 25 * 100 / 5 = 500 birds

We can estimate a population of 500 birds.

From the setup of the problem, the "length of the top of the bookcase, measured along the attic ceiling" will be the hypotenuse of a right triangle, the length "AB". We have both the angle between AB and AC and the length of AC (3.24 meters), so we can use trigonometric identities.

The cosine of the 40 degree angle between AB and AC is equivalent to the length of AC divided by the length of AB. Equivalently, we have:

cos(40) = \frac{3.24}{h}

where "h", the hypotenuse, is the length we want. Rearranging the formula to solve for h we have that

$h = \frac{3.24}{cos(40)}$

which is 4.2295... meters. Converting to centimeters (multiplying by 100) we have that h = 422.95... centimeters, or if we round the value, h = 423 centimeters.

Answer:

y=\frac{7}{2}x-20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the line be y-y_1=m(x-x_1) where, 'm' is its slope and (x_1,y_1) is a point on it.

Given:

The equation of a known line is:

y=-\frac{2}{7}x+9

A point on the unknown line is:

(x_1,y_1)=(4,-6)

Both the lines are perpendicular to each other.

Now, the slope of the known line is given by the coefficient of 'x'. Therefore, the slope of the known line is m_1=-\frac{2}{7}

When two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is equal to -1.

Therefore,

m\cdot m_1=-1\\m=-\frac{1}{m_1}\\m=-\frac{1}{\frac{-2}{7} }=\frac{7}{2}

Therefore, the equation of the unknown line is determined by plugging in all the given values. This gives,

y-(-6))=\frac{7}{2}(x-4)\\y+6=\frac{7}{2}x-14\\y=\frac{7}{2}x-14-6\\\\y=\frac{7}{2}x-20

The equation of a line perpendicular to the given line and passing through (4, -6) is y=\frac{7}{2}x-20.

Two cards are drawn from a standard deck of cards without replacement. Find the probability of drawing a heart and a club in tha
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

4/663

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

Probability = Expected outcome/Total outcome

Since we are to draw from a pack of card, the total outcome will be 52

Since there are 4 hearts;

Pr(selecting heart) = 4/52 = 1/13

If a club is then selected without replacement, the total number of card remaining will be 51;

Pr(selecting a heart) = 4/51

probability of drawing a heart and a club in that order = 4/52 * 4/51

probability of drawing a heart and a club in that order = 16/2652

probability of drawing a heart and a club in that order = 4/663
