Answer:

Odds against the events are 7/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

Odds in favor of event = 2 : 9 or 2/9

Let,

These odds are out of 1.

The odds against the event would be

Odds against = 1 - 2/9

Odds against = $\frac{9-2}{9}$

Odds against = $\frac{7}{9}$

Therefore,

Odds against the events are 7/9.

The table below shows the typical hours worked by employees at a company. A salaried employee makes $78,000 per year. Hourly emp

We will recommend option C which is Salaried pay. Salaried employees make more per week than hourly employees.

<h3>How do you find out the best salary option?</h3>

Given that, Salary per year = $78,000.

Hourly employees get paid $26 per hour, but get $39 per hour for each hour over 40 hours.

The total number of working hours from Sunday to Saturday is 47.

The payment for 47 hours of work per week will be given below.

Salary per week = $40 \times 26 + 7 \times 39$

Salary per week = $1313

We know that there are 52 weeks in one year. So the salary for one year is given below.

Salary per year = $1313\times 52$

Salary per year = $68276

We can see that we calculate the yearly salary with per hour rate, the amount will be lower than the salary per year $78000.

Hence we will recommend option C which is Salaried pay. Salaried employees make more per week than hourly employees.

Find 2 common angles that sum to (17pi/12) 2. Evaluate tan(17pi/12) using the sum identity for tangent.

Dmitry [639]

Note that
$\frac{17 \pi }{12} = \frac{3 \pi }{12} + \frac{14 \pi }{12} = \frac{ \pi }{4} + \frac{7 \pi }{6}$

Note that
$x= \frac{ \pi }{4}:\,\, sin(x) =cos(x)= \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2} },\,tan(x)=1\\x= \frac{7 \pi }{6} :\,\,sin(x)=- \frac{1}{2} ,\,\,cos(x)=- \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} ,\,\,tan(x)= \frac{1}{ \sqrt{3} }$

Use the identity
$tan(x+y)= \frac{tan(x)+tan(y)}{1-tan(x)tan(y)}$

Therefore
$tan( \frac{17 \pi }{12} )= \frac{1+ \frac{1}{ \sqrt{3} } }{1- \frac{1}{ \sqrt{3} } } = \frac{ \sqrt{3}+1 }{ \sqrt{3}-1} = \frac{( \sqrt{3}+1 )^{2}}{( \sqrt{3}-1 )( \sqrt{3}+1 )} = \frac{3+1+2 \sqrt{3}}{3-1} =2+ \sqrt{3}$

1 each of the two items that Val bought cost more than 10$ 2. Val spent 34$ for the 2 items. 3. Neither of the two items that Va

DerKrebs [107]

Statement : Val spent $ 34 for the 2 items

contradiction : Neither of the 2 items that Val bought cost more then $ 15

think about it....if neither of them cost more then 15....lets say they cost 15 each...then there is no way he spent $ 34.....he would spend at most $ 30
