Answer:

62.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we have the information we need to calculate the percentage because they give us the necessary experimental probability, we only have to pass the probability to its percentage form.

We know that probability can be converted to a percentage by multiplying the value of probability by 100, like so:

5/8 * 100 = 62.5

In other words, the probability that it will arrive at that time is 62.5%

Suppose that y varies directly with x and y=10 when x=20. What is y when x=15
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

y=kx

subst y=10 and x=20 into the above

<em>1</em><em>0</em><em>=</em><em>k20</em>

<em>k</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em>/</em><em>2</em><em>0</em>

<em>k</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>2</em>

<em>therefore</em><em> </em><em>relationship</em><em>:</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>2</em><em>x</em>

<em>subst</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>into</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>relationship</em>

<em> </em><em>y</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>2</em><em>(</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>)</em>

<em>y</em><em>=</em><em>7</em><em>,</em><em>5</em>

Step by step explanation:

  • Step 1: when they say y varies directly with x they mean<em> y is proportional to x</em>
  • step 2: so y=kx where <em>k is the constant</em>
  • step 3: is to substitute <em>y=10</em> and <em>x=20</em> into the above equation y=kx
  • step 4: you will end up with <em>10=k20</em> then divide both sides by 20 so that <em>k becomes the subject of the formula </em>
  • step 5: your answer from the above will be <em>k=10/20 </em>so the relationship is <em>y is directly proportional to 1/2 x </em>what you did here is that you substituted k for 1/2 in the equation in step 3
  • step 6: is to finally substitute x=15 into the equation <em>y=1/2x</em> to finally get your answer <em>y</em><em>=</em><em>7</em><em>,</em><em>5</em><em>.</em>

PLEASE HELP!!
PSYCHO15rus [73]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

The bird is approximately 9 ft high up in the tree

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

The required diagram is shown in the attached image

Note that the tree, the cat and the ground form a right-angled triangle

<u>Therefore, we can apply special trigonometric functions</u>

<u>These functions are as follows:</u>

sin(\alpha)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} \\ \\ cos(\alpha)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} \\ \\tan(\alpha)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

<u>Now, taking a look at our diagram, we can note the following:</u>

α = 25°

The opposite side is the required height (x)

The adjacent side is the distance between the cat and the tree = 20 ft

Therefore, we can use the <u>tan function</u>

<u>This is done as follows:</u>

tan(\alpha)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}\\ \\ tan(25)=\frac{x}{20}\\ \\x=20tan(25) = 9. 32 ft which is 9 ft approximated to the nearest ft

Hope this helps :)

Solve equation using square roots (x-1)^2=4
Aneli [31]
X is equal 3. to do this, you do reverse of order of operations. So this means that you would to the 'times 2' first by dividing 4 by 2 to make it 2. then, in the parenthesis, since there is a 'minus 1', therefore you are going to add 1+2 which equals three.  <span />
