Think of the 13-ft length of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Represent the horiz. distance from foot of ladder to base of tree by x, or 5 ft.
Represent the vert. dist. from base of tree to top of ladder by y, which is unknown.
Then (13 ft)^2 = (5 ft)^2 + y^2, or
169 ft^2 = 25 ft^2 + y^2. This simplifies to y^2 = 144. Thus y = + 12 feeet.
Note: Please pay attention to your spelling: "lader i up agenst a tree" should be "the top of a 13-ft ladder is placed against a tree."
Answer:
-$13.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be a random variable of a count of player gain.
- We are told that if the die shows 3, the player wins $45.
- there is a charge of $9 to play the game
If he wins, he gains; 45 - 9 = $36
If he looses, he has a net gain which is a loss = -$9
Thus, the x-values are; (36, -9)
Probability of getting a 3 which is a win is P(X) = 1/6 since there are 6 numbers on the dice and probability of getting any other number is P(X) = 5/6
Thus;
E(X) = Σ(x•P(X)) = (1/6)(36) + (5/6)(-9)
E(X) = (1/6)(36 - (5 × 9))
E(X) = (1/6)(36 - 45)
E(X) = -9/6 = -3/2
E(X) = -3/2
This represents -3/2 of $9 = -(3/2) × 9 = - 27/2 = -$13.5
The only 'small number' that I know that would affect the answer is an exponent that looks like ³ so the problem would be x³+x
remember that x³=x times x times x
if x=3 then
3³+3=27+3=30
Answer:
24/25
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see the attached image.
The cosine of an angle is the adjacent side relative to that angle over the hypotenuse.
Answer: 24/25
Let S be the sum,
S = 2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 2 (n - 2) + 2 (n - 1) + 2n
Reverse the order of terms:
S = 2n + 2 (n - 1) + 2 (n - 2) + ... + 6 + 4 + 2
Add up terms in the same positions, so that twice the sum is
2S = (2n + 2) + (2n + 2) + (2n + 2) + ... + (2n + 2)
or
2S = n (2n + 2)
Divide both sides by 2 to solve for S :
S = n (n + 1)
