Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the values of a and b into [a-b]2

= [-5-(-2)]2

= [-5+2]2

= [-3]2

= -6

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

119.05°

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, the angle is given by ...

θ = arctan(y/x)

Here, that becomes ...

θ = arctan(9/-5) ≈ 119.05°

<em>Comment on using a calculator</em>

If you use the ATAN2( ) function of a graphing calculator or spreadsheet, it will give you the angle in the proper quadrant. If you use the arctangent function (tan⁻¹) of a typical scientific calculator, it will give you a 4th-quadrant angle when the ratio is negative. You must recognize that the desired 2nd-quadrant angle is 180° more than that.

It may help you to consider looking at the "reference angle." In this geometry, it is the angle between the vector v and the -x axis. The coordinates tell you the lengths of the sides of the triangle vector v forms with the -x axis and a vertical line from that axis to the tip of the vector. Then the trig ratio you're interested in is ...

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent = |y|/|x|

This is the tangent of the reference angle, which will be ...

θ = arctan(|y| / |x|) = arctan(9/5) ≈ 60.95°

You can see from your diagram that the angle CCW from the +x axis will be the supplement of this value, 180° -60.95° = 119.05°.

You are constructing a cardboard box from a piece of cardboard with the dimensions 2 m by 4 m. You then cut equal-size squares f

postnew [5]

Answer:

Dimensions:

l =3,15 m

w=1,15 m

x= 0,42 m (height)

V(max) = 1,52 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

The cardboard is L = 4 m and W = 2 m

Let call x the length of the square to cut in each corner, then, volume of open box is:

For the side L is L - 2*x l = 4 - 2*x

For the side W is W - 2*x w= 2 - 2*x

The height is x

Volume of the open box, as function of x is:

V(x) = ( 4 -2x) * ( 2 - 2x) *x ⇒ V(x) = ( 8 - 8x -4x + 4x²) *x

V(x) = ( 8 -12x + 4x² )*x V(x) = 8x - 12x² + 4x³

V(x) = 8x - 12x² + 4x³

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation

V´(x) = 8 - 24x + 12x²

V´(x) = 0 8 - 24x + 12x² = 0 reordering 12x² - 24x + 8 = 0

or 3x² - 6x + 2 = 0

A second degree equation. Solving for x

x₁,₂ = ( 6 ± √36 - 24 ) /6

x₁,₂ = ( 6 ± 3.46) /6

x₁ = 6 + 3,46 /6 x₁ = 1.58 we dismiss such solution because 1,58 * 2 = 3,15 and is bigger than 2 one of the side of the cardboard

x₂ =( 6 - 3,46 ) / 6

x₂ = 0,42 m

Dimensions of the open box

l = 4 - 2*x l = 4 - 0,85 l = 3,15 m

w = 2 -2*x w = 2 - 0,85 w = 1,15 m

x = 0,42 m

V(max) =3,15*1,15*0,42

V(max) = 1,52 m³

Suppose that 37% of college students own cats. If you were to ask random college students if they own a cat what would the proba

Likurg_2 [28]

Using the binomial distribution, the probabilities are given as follows:

a) 0.37 = 37%.

b) 0.5065 = 50.65%.

c) 0.3260 = 32.60%.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.

n is the number of trials.

p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

For this problem, the fixed parameter is:

p = 0.37.

Item a:

The probability is P(X = 1) when n = 1, hence:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 1) = C_{1,1}.(0.37)^{1}.(0.63)^{0} = 0.37$

Item b:

The probability is P(X = 3) when n = 3, hence:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.37)^{3}.(0.63)^{0} = 0.5065$

Item c:

The probability is P(X = 2) when n = 4, hence:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{4,2}.(0.37)^{2}.(0.63)^{2} = 0.3260$

Ritta purchased a package of stickers. She noticed 4 out of every 5 stickers where purple. Which table shows the relationship be

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

4:5

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't see the table but since it is 4 out of every 5 stickers are purple, the ratio would be 4:5, 4/5, or 4 to 5. It doesn't really matter, because all of these mean the same thing.

Tell me if I'm wrong :)

A club has 10 members.

TEA [102]

That is the combination of 10 over 3, which is calculated as the quotient of factorials:
n!/k!(n-k)!
where n = 10 and k = 3:
= 10!/3!(10 - 3)!
= 10!/3!*7!
= (10*9*8)/(3*2*1)
= 720/6
= 120
therefore there a re 120 possible different groups
