Answer:

56/65

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that cos(a-b) = cos(a)cos(b) + sin(a)sin(b)

We know what sin(a) and sin(b) are, and to get cos(a), we can take the equation sin²a + cos²a = 1

Thus,

(12/13)² + cos²a = 1

1 - (12/13)² = cos²a

1- 144/169 = cos²a

cos²a = 25/169

cos(a) = 5/13

Similarly,

(3/5)² + cos²b = 1

1 - (3/5)² = cos²b

1 - 9/25 = cos²b

cos²b = 16/25

cos(b) = 4/5

Our answer is

cos(a-b) = cos(a)cos(b) + sin(a)sin(b)

cos(a-b)  = (5/13)(4/5) + (12/13)(3/5)

cos(a-b)  = 20/65 + 36/65

cos(a-b)  = 56/65

Which value below will make 3-6x=21
Lorico [155]

We are given the following equation and want to find which value of x will make it true:

3-6x=21

Subtract 3 from both sides

-6x=18

Divide both sides by -6

x=-3

Thus, the value that will make 3-6x=21 is x=-3. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

irga5000 [103]
To find the experimental probability, you will add the outcomes that resulted in even number and make that a ratio to the total number of outcomes.

<u>(12 + 14 + 18)</u>
(13 + 12 + 12 +14 + 11 + 18)

44/80 = 0.55
