Answer:

91 possible outcomes

Step-by-step explanation:

As the teacher selects a brunette followed by a blonde, we just need to find the number of possibilities of choosing a brunnette and the number of possibilities of choosing a blonde:

number of possibilities of choosing a brunette: 13

number of possibilities of choosing a blonde: 7

Then, the number of possible outcomes is the product of these number of possibilities:

13 * 7 = 91 possible outcomes

Find the point (,) on the curve =8 that is closest to the point (3,0). [To do this, first find the distance function between (,)

ELEN [110]

Question:

Find the point (,) on the curve $y = \sqrt x$ that is closest to the point (3,0).

[To do this, first find the distance function between (,) and (3,0) and minimize it.]

Answer:

$(x,y) = (\frac{5}{2},\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}})$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = \sqrt x$ can be represented as: $(x,y)$

Substitute $\sqrt x$ for $y$

$(x,y) = (x,\sqrt x)$

So, next:

Calculate the distance between $(x,\sqrt x)$ and $(3,0)$

Distance is calculated as:

$d = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

So:

$d = \sqrt{(x-3)^2 + (\sqrt x - 0)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(x-3)^2 + (\sqrt x)^2}$

Evaluate all exponents

$d = \sqrt{x^2 - 6x +9 + x}$

Rewrite as:

$d = \sqrt{x^2 + x- 6x +9 }$

$d = \sqrt{x^2 - 5x +9 }$

Differentiate using chain rule:

Let

$u = x^2 - 5x +9$

$\frac{du}{dx} = 2x - 5$

So:

$d = \sqrt u$

$d = u^\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{dd}{du} = \frac{1}{2}u^{-\frac{1}{2}}$

Chain Rule:

$d' = \frac{du}{dx} * \frac{dd}{du}$

$d' = (2x-5) * \frac{1}{2}u^{-\frac{1}{2}}$

$d' = (2x - 5) * \frac{1}{2u^{\frac{1}{2}}}$

$d' = \frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt u}$

Substitute: $u = x^2 - 5x +9$

$d' = \frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt{x^2 - 5x + 9}}$

Next, is to minimize (by equating d' to 0)

$\frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt{x^2 - 5x + 9}} = 0$

Cross Multiply

$2x - 5 = 0$

Solve for x

$2x =5$

$x = \frac{5}{2}$

Substitute $x = \frac{5}{2}$ in $y = \sqrt x$

$y = \sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}$

Split

$y = \frac{\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 2}$

Rationalize

$y = \frac{\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 2} * \frac{\sqrt 2}{\sqrt 2}$

$y = \frac{\sqrt {10}}{\sqrt 4}$

$y = \frac{\sqrt {10}}{2}$

Hence:

$(x,y) = (\frac{5}{2},\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}})$

The measure of an angle is 2.8.what is the measure of its complementary angle

german

Answer:

87.2º

Step-by-step explanation:

Complimentary angles total 90º

c + 2.8 = 90

c = 90 - 2.8

c = 87.2º

major each of the following angles write it measures right weather it is acute ,obtuse, right angle A straight angle or a reflex

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

i = right angle

ii = obtuse angle

iii = straight angle

iv = obtuse angle

v = acute angle

Step-by-step explanation:

an acute angle is an angle less than 90 degrees

an obtuse angle is an angle more than 90 degrees

a right angle is an angle equivalent to 90 degrees (looks like two straight lines perpendicular)

a straight angle is an angle equivalent to 180 degrees (looks like a straight line)

a reflex angle is an angle greater than 180 degrees

so, ...

i = right angle

ii = obtuse angle

iii = straight angle

iv = obtuse angle

v = acute angle

Find the x and y intercepts for the following equation. 2x– 7y=-14

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

C: Xint = 2, Yint. = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation, 2x - 7y = -14:

The y-intercept is the point on the graph where it crosses the y-axis, and has coordinates (0, b). It is also the value of y when x = 0. To solve for the y-intercept, set x = 0:

2x - 7y = -14

2(0) - 7y = -14

0 - 7y = -14

-7y = -14

Divide both sides by -7 to solve for y:

-7y/-7 = -14/-7

y = 2

Therefore, the y-intercept = 2.

Next, the x-intercept is the point on the graph where it crosses the x-axis, and has coordinates, (a, 0). To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 and substitute into the given equation:

2x - 7y = -14

2x - 7(0) = -14

2x - 0 = -14

2x = -14

Divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:

2x/2 = -14/2

x = -7

x-intercept = -7.

Therefore, the correct answer is C: Xint = 2, Yint. = -7
