Answer:

6  "surprise" flavors jellybeans

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

The bag contained a mixture of regular flavored jellybeans and "surprise" jellybeans.

There are 40 jellybeans in the bag.

If 15% of the jellybean were "surprise" flavors.

Then, the number of expected "surprise" jellybeans will be:

= 15% of 40 jellybeans

= (15/100) × 40

= 6  "surprise" flavors jellybeans

If  6 surprise jellybean is contained in the bag;

Thus, the number of regular flavored jellybean will be

= 40 - 6

= 34 regular flavored jellybean

the direction angle for vectors 135° the X component of the vector is -3 what is the Ywhat is what what is the Y component of th
blagie [28]
Well, the X component (assuming x is the horizontal) is equal to RCosZ

Where Z is the angle and R is the size of the resultant

Substitute into formula :

X component = RcosZ
-3 = Rcos135°
R = -3/cos135°
R = 4.24264...
R = 4.24 (2dp)

The vertical component (or Y component) is equal to RSinZ

Vertical component = RSinZ
= 4.24264... × Sin135°
= 3

The answer is 3
