Answer:

0.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Members who run only  long distance = 8%

So, probability that a member will run only long distance = P(A) = 0.08

Members who compete only in field events = 32%

So, probability that a member will compete only in field events = P(B) 0.32

Members who are sprinters = 12%

So, probability that a member is sprinter = P(C) 0.12

We have to calculate the probability that a randomly chosen team member runs only long-distance or competes only in field events. i.e we have to find P(A or B). Since these events cannot occur at the same time, we can write:

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)

Using the values, we get:

P(A or B) = 0.08 + 0.32 = 0.40

Thus, the probability that a randomly chosen team member runs only long-distance or competes only in field events is 0.40

Find the value of x (sines and cosines)
Sav [38]
You would begin by choosing which trigonometric function to use. 
In this case, you would use sine.

Sine is opposite over hypotenuse. 
Opposite of the 35 degree angle is 18, and you want to find the hypotenuse which is x.

sin(35) = \frac{18}{x} (multiply x to both sides)
x sin(35) = 18 (divide sin(35) to both sides)
x = 31.38204...

So, therefore x = 31.38. I don't know what decimal point you're supposed to round to, so I'm gonna guess the hundredths place. :)

Use the Polynomial Identity below to help you create a list of 10 Pythagorean Triples:
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

(3,4,5)

(6,8,10)

(5,12,13)

(8,15,17)

(12,16,20)

(7,24,25)

(10,24,26)

(20,21,29)

(16,30,34)

(9,40,41)

Just choose 2 numbers from {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,...} and make sure the one you input for x is larger.

Post the three in the comments and I will check them for you.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to choose 2 positive integers for x and y where x>y.

Positive integers are {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,.....}.

I'm going to start with (x,y)=(2,1).

x=2 and y=1.

(2^2+1^2)^2=(2^2-1^2)^2+(2\cdot2\cdot1)^2

(4+1)^2=(4-1)^2+(4)^2

(5)^2=(3)^2+(4)^2

So one Pythagorean Triple is (3,4,5).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(3,1).

x=3 and y=1.

(3^2+1^2)^2=(3^2-1^2)^2+(2\cdot3\cdot1)^2

(9+1)^2=(9-1)^2+(6)^2

(10)^2=(8)^2+(6)^2

So another Pythagorean Triple is (6,8,10).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(3,2).

x=3 and y=2.

(3^2+2^2)^2=(3^2-2^2)^2+(2\cdot3\cdot2)^2

(9+4)^2=(9-4)^2+(12)^2

(13)^2=(5)^2+(12)^2

So another is (5,12,13).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(4,1).

(4^2+1^2)^2=(4^2-1^2)^2+(2\cdot4\cdot1)^2

(16+1)^2=(16-1)^2+(8)^2

(17)^2=(15)^2+(8)^2

Another is (8,15,17).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(4,2).

(4^2+2^2)^2=(4^2-2^2)^2+(2\cdot4\cdot2)^2

(16+4)^2=(16-4)^2+(16)^2

(20)^2=(12)^2+(16)^2

We have another which is (12,16,20).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(4,3).

(4^2+3^2)^2=(4^2-3^2)^2+(2\cdot4\cdot3)^2

(16+9)^2=(16-9)^2+(24)^2

(25)^2=(7)^2+(24)^2

We have another is (7,24,25).

You are just choosing numbers from the positive integer set {1,2,3,4,... } and making sure the number you plug in for x is higher than the number for y.

I will do one more.

Let's choose (x,y)=(5,1).

(5^2+1^2)^2=(5^2-1^2)^2+(2\cdot5\cdot1)^2

(25+1)^2=(25-1)^2+(10)^2

(26)^2=(24)^2+(10)^2

So (10,24,26) is another.

Let (x,y)=(5,2).

(5^2+2^2)^2=(5^2-2^2)^2+(2\cdot5\cdot2)^2

(25+4)^2=(25-4)^2+(20)^2

(29)^2=(21)^2+(20)^2

So another Pythagorean Triple is (20,21,29).

Choose (x,y)=(5,3).

(5^2+3^2)^2=(5^2-3^2)^2+(2\cdot5\cdot3)^2

(25+9)^2=(25-9)^2+(30)^2

(34)^2=(16)^2+(30)^2

Another Pythagorean Triple is (16,30,34).

Let (x,y)=(5,4)

(5^2+4^2)^2=(5^2-4^2)^2+(2\cdot5\cdot4)^2

(25+16)^2=(25-16)^2+(40)^2

(41)^2=(9)^2+(40)^2

Another is (9,40,41).
