3. Nancy and Harry are sliding a stone statue and moving it to a new location in their garden. Nancy is pushing the statue with

a force of 120N at a 60° angle to the horizontal and Harry is pulling the statue with a force of 180N at a 40° angle with the horizontal. What is the magnitude of the horizontal force exerted on the statue?

Answer:

197,8879 N.

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of the horizontal force exerted on the statue can be calculated using trigonometric functions.

The question given says that Nancy is pushing the statue with a force of 120 N at a 60° angle to the horizontal and Harry is pulling the statue with a force of 180 N at a 40° angle with the horizontal.

With that information can be calculated the horizontal force exerted on the statue by Nancy, the horizontal force exerted on the statue by Harry and, adding that results, the total horizontal magnitude can be calculated.

The cosine function can be used to calculate the horizontal component of the forces exerted by Nancy and Harry, to determine the horizontal component of the force exerted on the statue.

F= (120 N cos 60°) + (180 N x cos 40°)

F= 197,8879 N

There are four outcomes of the two events,

First test - Cancer, Second Test - Cancer, the probability is 0.0396
First test - Cancer, Second Test - No Cancer, the probability is 0.0004
First test -  No Cancer, Second Test - There is cancer, the probability is 0.0096
First test - No cancer, Second Test - No cancer, the probability is 0.9054

The probability of someone picked at random has cancer given that test result indicates cancer is  \frac{0.0396}{0.0396+0.0096}= \frac{33}{41}

The probability of someone picked at random has cancer given that test result indicates no cancer is \frac{0.0396}{0.0004+0.9504} = \frac{99}{2377}

5. Solve v = w - 20 for w.​
slava [35]

v = w - 20

move -20 to the other side

sign changes from -20 to +20

to get w by itself

v+20= w-20+20

Answer:

w= v+20 or w= 20+v

Given a function <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%29%3D3x%5E4-5x%5E2%2B2x-3" id="TexFormula1" title="f(x)=3x^4-5x^2+2x-3"
Levart [38]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{f(-1) = -7}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for this function, we need to substitute in our value of x inside to find f(x). Since we are trying to evalue f(-1), we will substitute -1 in as x to our equation.

f(-1) = 3(-1)^4 - 5(-1)^2 + 2(-1) - 3

Now we can solve for the function by multiplying/subtracting/adding our known values.

Starting with the first term to the last term:

  • 3(-1)^4 = 3

<u><em>WAIT</em></u><em>!</em><em> How is this possible? </em>-1^4 = -1 (according to my calculator), and 3 \cdot -1 = -3, not 3!

It's important to note that taking a power of a negative number and multiplying a negative number are two different things. Let's use -2^2 as an example.

What your calculator did was follow BEMDAS since it wasn't explicitly told not to.

BEMDAS:

- Brackets

- Exponents

- Multiplication/Division

- Addition/Subtraction

Examining the equation, your calculator used this rule properly. Note that exponents come over multiplication.

So rather than  being <em>"-2 squared"</em> - it's <em>"the negative of of 2 squared."</em>

Tying this back into our problem, the squared method would only be true if it looks like -1^4. However, since we're substituting in -1, it looks like (-1)^4, so the expression reads out as "<u><em>-1 to the fourth.</em></u>"

MULTIPLYING -1 by itself 4 times results in -1\cdot-1\cdot-1\cdot-1=1.

Applying this logic to our original term, 3(-1)^4:

  • 3(-1\cdot-1\cdot-1\cdot-1)
  • 3(1)
  • 3

Therefore, our first term is 3.

Let's move on to our second and third terms.

Second term: -5x^2

  • -5(-1)^2

Applying the same logic from our first term:

  • -5(-1 \cdot -1)
  • -5(1)
  • -5

Third term: 2x

  • 2(-1) = -2

-3 is just -3, no influence of x.

Combining our terms, we have 3-5-2-3.

This comes out to be -7, hence, the value of f(-1) for our function f(x)=3x^4-5x^2+2x-3 is <u>-7</u>.

Hope this helped!
