Answer:

The number of rolls  = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Thinking process:

A die has six sides (6).

Thus, the probability of striking a 6 is \frac{1}{6}

Let the number or sixes be 2

The number of roles for the die is given the following: (6)^{n} where n is the number of sixes needed.

Therefore, the number of roles needed = (6)^{2}  = 36

Find the area of a plane figure bounded by lines
natulia [17]

Answer: 4.5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

First, find the points of intersection by solving the system.

y = x² + 2x + 4

y = x + 6

Solve by substitution:

x² + 2x + 4 = x + 6   ⇒   x² + x - 2 = 0   ⇒   (x + 2)(x - 1) = 0   ⇒   x = -2, x = 1

Now, integrate from x = -2 to x = 1

\int\limits^1_2 {(x+6)-(x^{2}+2x+4) } \,    <em>the bottom of the integral is -2 </em>

= \int\limits^1_2 {x+6-x^{2}-2x-4 } \,

= \int\limits^1_2 {-x^{2}-x+2 } \,  

= \frac{-x^{3}}{3} - \frac{x^{2}}{2}+2x\int\limits^1_2 {} \,

= (\frac{-1^{3}}{3} - \frac{1^{2}}{2}+2(1)) - (\frac{-(-2)^{3}}{3} - \frac{(-2)^{2}}{2}+2(-2))

= (\frac{-1}{3} - \frac{1}{2} +2) - (\frac{8}{3} -\frac{4}{2} -4)

= \frac{-9}{3} + \frac{3}{2} +6

= -3 + 1.5 + 6

= 4.5

What is 10*10? Please help! :) ​
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

It will help in the future to memorize your time tables

10*10 is basically 10 plus 10, 10 times but in a easier form

10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10=100

10+10=20

20+10=30

30+10=40

40+10=50

50+10=60

60+10=70

70+10=80

80+10=90

90+10=100

In ΔWXY, the measure of ∠Y=90°, XW = 53, YX = 28, and WY = 45. What is the value of the cosine of ∠X to the nearest hundredth?
kotegsom [21]

The value of ∠X = 58.11°, If ΔWXY, the measure of ∠Y=90°, XW = 53, YX = 28, and WY = 45.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

                   In ΔWXY, ∠Y=90°

                        XW = 53

                         YX = 28

                        WY = 45

Step:1

             Ref the attachment,

             Given triangle XWY is right angled triangle.

             Trigonometric ratio's,

                              Cos ∅  = \frac{Adj}{Hyp}    

             For the given attachment, the trigonometric ratio becomes,

                              Cos ∅  = \frac{XY}{XW}.....................................(1)

             Let, ∠X = ∅

             Where, XY = 28

                         XW =  53

             Equation (1) becomes,

                                 Cos ∅  = \frac{28}{53}

                                 Cos ∅ = 0.5283

                                        ∅ = cos^{-1} (0.5283)

                                        ∅ = 58.109°

Result:

          The value of ∠X = 58.11°, If ΔWXY, the measure of ∠Y=90°, XW = 53, YX = 28, and WY = 45.
