If <em>x</em> = -1, you have

2(-1) + 3 cos(-1) + <em>e</em> ⁻¹ ≈ -0.0112136 < 0

and if <em>x</em> = 0, you have

2(0) + 3 cos(0) + <em>e</em> ⁰ = 4 > 0

The function <em>f(x)</em> = 2<em>x</em> + 3 cos(<em>x</em>) + <em>eˣ</em> is continuous over the real numbers, so the intermediate value theorem applies, and it says that there is some -1 < <em>c</em> < 0 such that <em>f(c)</em> = 0.

Max can type 160 words in 5 minutes. How long would it take him to type 400 words? * A. 12.50 minB. 13 minC. 10.50 minD. 12 min

blagie [28]

To find how long it would take him, one has to divide 400 by 160 and then multiply 5 by what that number is. You multiply 5 by the quotient because that is the number that would make it proportional. 400/160 x 5 is 12.5, meaning that the answer is 12.5 minutes, or A.

Suppose that two openings on an appellate court bench are to be filled from current municipal court judges. The municipal court

Ksju [112]

Answer:

$(a)\dfrac{92}{117}$

$(b)\dfrac{8}{39}$

$(c)\dfrac{25}{117}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of Men, n(M)=24

Number of Women, n(W)=3

Total Sample, n(S)=24+3=27

Since you cannot appoint the same person twice, the probabilities are <u>without replacement.</u>

(a)Probability that both appointees are men.

$P(MM)=\dfrac{24}{27}X \dfrac{23}{26}=\dfrac{552}{702}\\=\dfrac{92}{117}$

(b)Probability that one man and one woman are appointed.

To find the probability that one man and one woman are appointed, this could happen in two ways.

A man is appointed first and a woman is appointed next.
A woman is appointed first and a man is appointed next.

P(One man and one woman are appointed) $=P(MW)+P(WM)$

$=(\dfrac{24}{27}X \dfrac{3}{26})+(\dfrac{3}{27}X \dfrac{24}{26})\\=\dfrac{72}{702}+\dfrac{72}{702}\\=\dfrac{144}{702}\\=\dfrac{8}{39}$

(c)Probability that at least one woman is appointed.

The probability that at least one woman is appointed can occur in three ways.

A man is appointed first and a woman is appointed next.
A woman is appointed first and a man is appointed next.
Two women are appointed

P(at least one woman is appointed) $=P(MW)+P(WM)+P(WW)$

$P(WW)=\dfrac{3}{27}X \dfrac{2}{26}=\dfrac{6}{702}$

In Part B, $P(MW)+P(WM)=\frac{8}{39}$

Therefore:

$P(MW)+P(WM)+P(WW)=\dfrac{8}{39}+\dfrac{6}{702}\\$P(at least one woman is appointed)=\dfrac{25}{117}$

1176in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

find the surface area of the cube

(14*14)6=1176 inches cubed

14*14 is finding the area of one side and then we multiply it by six because that's how many congruent sides there are
