Answer:
D. 7.8°
Step-by-step explanation:
There are many ways to work this problem. One is to subtract the angle of V from that of W:
∠V = arctan(2/-5) ≈ 158.20°
∠W = arctan(2/-8) ≈ 165.96°
Then ∠W -∠V = 165.96° -158.20° = 7.76° ≈ 7.8°
___
Another is to divide W by V, since the quotient will have an angle that is the difference of their two angles.
(-8i +2j)/(-5i +2j) = (1/29)(44i +6j)
Then the angle of that is ...
arctan(6/44) ≈ 7.8°
___
You can also divide the dot product by the product of the two magnitudes to find the cosine of the angle between the vectors.
(V•W)/(|V|·|W|) = 44/√(68·29) = cos(x)
x = arccos(0.990830168...) ≈ 7.8°
___
A plot on graph paper will let you measure the angle with a protractor. You can obtain sufficient accuracy to choose between the offered answers.
___
Your graphing calculator may have complex number functions that let you work directly with the angles of the vectors. (See second attachment. The calculator is in degrees mode.) Doing 2-dimensional vector calculations on a calculator may best be accomplished by treating them as complex numbers.
Answer:
16/25
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the probability that she gets both questions right, multiply the probabilities together:
4/5 x 4/5
= 16/25
So, the probability that she answers both correctly is 16/25
Answer: B. The test contains 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions
Step-by-step explanation:
14 * 5 = 70
10 * 3 = 30
70 + 30 = 100
14 + 10 = 24
Answer:
0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is not complete, the correct question is:
Two events, X and Y, are independent of each other. P(Y) = 5/6 and P(X and Y) = 1/3. What is P(X) written as a decimal? Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary
Answer: Two events (event X and event Y) are said to be independent if the probability of event X occurring does not affect the probability of event Y occurring and vice versa. If the probability of X = P(X) and the probability of Y = P(Y), therefore P(X and Y) = P(X) × P(Y).
Given that P(Y) = 5/6 and P(X and Y) = 1/3. Therefore:
P(X and Y) = P(X) × P(Y)
Making P(X) the subject of formula by dividing through by P(Y) gives:
