Answer:

cot\theta=-\frac{5}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the point (5,-12) lies on the terminal side of an angle theta in standard position.

We have to find the exact value of cot\theta.

Let

Point (x,y)=(5,-12)

r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}

Substitute the values

r=\sqrt{5^2+(-12)^2}

r=\sqrt{169}=13

We know that

cot\theta=\frac{x}{y}

Using values

cot\theta=-\frac{5}{12}

PLZ HELP ME! Whoever gets it right will be marked brainiest
Brut [27]

Answer:

Probability that Hannah only has to buy 3 or less boxes before getting a prize is 0.784

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, 40% of cereal boxes contain a prize

⇒probability of getting a prize on opening a box, P(A)=0.4

where A is the event of getting a prize on opening a cereal box

and probability of not getting a prize on opening a box, P(A')=1-P(A)=0.6

where A' is the event of not getting a prize on opening a cereal box

This problem needs to be divided into 3 situation:

  • Case 1, Where Hannah gets prize when she buys the first box:

Let K be the event of Hannah winning the prize on buying the first box.

⇒P(K)=P(A)=0.4

  • Case 2, Where Hannah gets prize when she buys the second box:

I<u>n this event Hannah should not get the prize in first box but should get the prize on buying the second box</u>

Let L be the event of Hannah winning the prize on buying the second box

So, P(L)=P(A')·P(A)

           =(0.6)·(0.4)

           =0.24

  • Case 3,Where Hannah gets prize when she buys the third box:

<u>In this event Hannah should not get the prize in first and second box but should get the prize on buying the third box</u>

Let L be the event of Hannah winning the prize on buying the third box

So, P(L)=P(A')·P(A')·P(A)

           =(0.6)·(0.6)·(0.4)

           =0.144

Let N be the event of Hannah winning the prize on buying 3 or less boxes before getting a prize

⇒N=K∪L∪M

Now, Required probability is P(N)=P(K∪L∪M)=P(K)+P(L)+P(M) [As events K,L and M are independent and disjoint events]

⇒P(N)=0.4+0.24+0.144

         =0.784
