Nadia is ordering cheesecake at a restaurant, and the server tells her that she can have up to five toppings: caramel, whipped c

ream, butterscotch sauce, strawberries, and hot fudge. Since she cannot decide how many of the toppings she wants, she tells the server to surprise her. If the server randomly chooses which toppings to add, what is the probability that Nadia gets just caramel, butterscotch sauce, strawberries, and hot fudge

Answer:

The probability that Nadia gets just caramel, butterscotch sauce, strawberries, and hot fudge is P =  1/32 = 0.03125

Step-by-step explanation:

There are up to 5 toppings, such that the toppings are:

caramel

whipped cream

butterscotch sauce

strawberries

hot fudge

We want to find the probability that,  If the server randomly chooses which toppings to add, she gets just caramel, butterscotch sauce, strawberries, and hot fudge.

First, we need to find the total number of possible combinations.

let's separate them in number of toppings.

0 toppins:

Here is one combination.

1 topping:

here we have one topping and 5 options, so there are 5 different combinations of 1 topping.

2 toppings.

Assuming that each topping can be used only once, for the first topping we have 5 options.

And for the second topping we have 4 options (because one is already used)

The total number of combinations is equal to the product between the number of options for each topping, so here we have:

c = 4*5 = 20 combinations.

But we are counting the permutations, which is equal to n! (where n is the number of toppings, in this case is n = 2), this means that we are differentiating in the case where the first topping is caramel and the second is whipped cream, and the case where the first topping is whipped cream and the second is caramel, to avoid this, we should divide by the number of permutations.

Then the number of different combinations is:

c' = 20/2! = 10

3 toppings.

similarly to the previous case.

for the first topping there are 5 options

for the second there are 4 options

for the third there are 3 options

the total number of different combinations is:

c' = (5*4*3)/(3!) = (5*4*3)/(3*2) = 10

4 toppings:

We can think of this as "the topping that we do not use", so there are only 5 possible toppings to not use, then there are 5 different combinations with 4 toppings.

5 toppings:

Similar to the first case, here is only one combination with 5 toppings.

So the total number of different combinations is:

C = 1 + 5 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 = 32

There are 32 different combinations.

And we want to find the probability of getting one particular combination (all of them have the same probability)

Then the probability is the quotient between one and the total number of different combinations.

p = 1/32

The probability that Nadia gets just caramel, butterscotch sauce, strawberries, and hot fudge is P =  1/32 = 0.03125

Use triangle ABC drawn below &amp; only the sides labeled. Find the side of length AB in terms of side a, side b &amp; angle C o
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

AB = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2-2abCos\ C}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The above triangle

Required

Solve for AB in terms of a, b and angle C

Considering right angled triangle BOC where O is the point between b-x and x

From BOC, we have that:

Sin\ C = \frac{h}{a}

Make h the subject:

h = aSin\ C

Also, in BOC (Using Pythagoras)

a^2 = h^2 + x^2

Make x^2 the subject

x^2 = a^2 - h^2

Substitute aSin\ C for h

x^2 = a^2 - h^2 becomes

x^2 = a^2 - (aSin\ C)^2

x^2 = a^2 - a^2Sin^2\ C

Factorize

x^2 = a^2 (1 - Sin^2\ C)

In trigonometry:

Cos^2C = 1-Sin^2C

So, we have that:

x^2 = a^2 Cos^2\ C

Take square roots of both sides

x= aCos\ C

In triangle BOA, applying Pythagoras theorem, we have that:

AB^2 = h^2 + (b-x)^2

Open bracket

AB^2 = h^2 + b^2-2bx+x^2

Substitute x= aCos\ C and h = aSin\ C in AB^2 = h^2 + b^2-2bx+x^2

AB^2 = h^2 + b^2-2bx+x^2

AB^2 = (aSin\ C)^2 + b^2-2b(aCos\ C)+(aCos\ C)^2

Open Bracket

AB^2 = a^2Sin^2\ C + b^2-2abCos\ C+a^2Cos^2\ C

Reorder

AB^2 = a^2Sin^2\ C +a^2Cos^2\ C + b^2-2abCos\ C

Factorize:

AB^2 = a^2(Sin^2\ C +Cos^2\ C) + b^2-2abCos\ C

In trigonometry:

Sin^2C + Cos^2 = 1

So, we have that:

AB^2 = a^2 * 1 + b^2-2abCos\ C

AB^2 = a^2 + b^2-2abCos\ C

Take square roots of both sides

AB = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2-2abCos\ C}

Use the trend line to predict what the value of variable N will be when variable M equals 50.
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

N = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally the coordinate system goes:

x axis (horizontal)

y axis (vertical)

Here, we have:

Horizontal axis as "M", and

Vertical axis as "N"

We want to know what N will be when M equals 50.

So, we look at the x-axis and go to M equals 50.

Then we move up until the "trend line". The intersection.

If we move directly left to vertical axis (N variable), we see that it is at the point:

N = 10

So,

When M = 50, N = 10
