Answer:

The support post positioned 23 feet far from the front of the house

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Pythagoras Theorem

(Hypotenuse)² = (Base)² + ( Perpendicular)²

We need to find Base so arranging the equation will give us

(Base)² = (Hypotenuse)² - ( Perpendicular)²

Taking under root on both sides

Base = √(Hypotenuse)² - ( Perpendicular)²

Base = √ (625 - 100)

Base = √525

Base = 23 feet

Alice, Benjamin, and Carol each try independently to win a carnival game. If their individual probabilities for success are 1/5,

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

The correct option is E.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Alice, Benjamin, and Carol each try independently to win a carnival game.

Let A, B and C represent the following events.

A = Alice win

B = Benjamin win

C = Carol win

$P(A)=\frac{1}{5}$ and $P(A')=1-P(A)=1-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{4}{5}$

$P(B)=\frac{3}{8}$ and $P(B')=\frac{5}{8}$

$P(C)=\frac{2}{7}$ and $P(C')=\frac{5}{7}$

We need to find the probability that exactly two of the three players will win but one will lose.

$Probability=P(A\cap B\cap C')+P(A\cap B'\cap C)+P(A'\cap B\cap C)$

$Probability=P(A)P(B)P(C')+P(A)P(B')P(C)+P(A')P(B)P(C)$

$Probability=\frac{1}{5}\cdot\frac{3}{8}\cdot\frac{5}{7}+\frac{1}{5}\cdot\frac{5}{8}\cdot\frac{2}{7}+\frac{4}{5}\cdot\frac{3}{8}\cdot\frac{2}{7}$

$Probability=\frac{3}{56}+\frac{1}{28}+\frac{3}{35}$

$Probability=\frac{7}{40}$

The probability that exactly two of the three players will win but one will lose is $\frac{7}{40}$ .

Therefore the correct option is E.

F(x) = x2 + 2x find f(-3)

spin [16.1K]

$\longrightarrow{\blue{f(-3)\:=\:3}}$

$\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\red{Step-by-step\:explanation}}{\red{:}}}}}$

$f(x) = {x}^{2} + 2x$

For $f( - 3)$ , substitute " $-3$ " for each occurrence of " $x$ ".

$f( - 3) = ( { - 3})^{2} + 2( - 3)$

$= ( - 3 \times - 3) - 6$

$= 9 - 6$

$= 3$
