Answer:

Let the additional weight that can be added be = x

Current weight of the bag = 38 pounds

Total weight can be = 50 pounds

The equation becomes:

38+x < or equal 50

x < or equal 50-38=12

Hence, a weight of 12 pounds cab be added to the current wight.

A survey of athletes at a high school is conducted, and the following facts are discovered: 13% of the athletes are football pla

Answer:

The probability that an athlete chosen is either a football player or a basketball player is 56%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the athletes which are Football player be 'A'

Let the athletes which are Basket ball player be 'B'

Given:

Football players (A) = 13%

Basketball players (B) = 52%

Both football and basket ball players = 9%

We need to find probability that an athlete chosen is either a football player or a basketball player.

Solution:

The probability that athlete is a football player = $P(A)= \frac{13}{100}=0.13$

The probability that athlete is a basketball player = $P(B)= \frac{52}{100}=0.52$

The probability that athlete is both basket ball player and football player = $P(A\cap B) = \frac{9}{100}=0.09$

We have to find the probability that an athlete chosen is either a football player or a basketball player $P(A\cup B)$ .

Now we know that;

$P(A\cup B)= P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)\\\\P(A\cup B) = 0.13+0.52-0.09=0.56\\\\P(A\cup B) = \frac{0.56}{100}=56\%$

Hence The probability that an athlete chosen is either a football player or a basketball player is 56%.

Answer the question in the picture

Recall the angle sum identities:

$\sin(x+y)=\sin x\cos y+\cos x\sin y$

$\cos(x+y)=\cos x\cos y-\sin x\sin y$

Now,

$\tan(x+y)=\dfrac{\sin(x+y)}{\cos(x+y)}=\dfrac{\sin x\cos y+\cos x\sin y}{\cos x\cos y-\sin x\sin y}$

Divide through numerator and denominator by $\cos x\cos y$ to get

$\tan(x+y)=\dfrac{\tan x+\tan y}{1-\tan x\tan y}$

Next, we use the fact that $x,y$ lie in the first quadrant to determine that

$\sin x=\dfrac12\implies\cos x=\sqrt{1-\sin^2x}=\dfrac{\sqrt3}2$

$\cos y=\dfrac{\sqrt2}2\implies\sin x=\sqrt{1-\cos^2x}=\dfrac1{\sqrt2}$

So we then have

$\tan x=\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}=\dfrac{\frac12}{\frac{\sqrt3}2}=\dfrac1{\sqrt3}$

$\tan y=\dfrac{\sin y}{\cos y}=\dfrac{\frac1{\sqrt2}}{\frac{\sqrt2}2}=1$

Finally,

$\tan(x+y)=\dfrac{\frac1{\sqrt3}+1}{1-\frac1{\sqrt3}}=\dfrac{1+\sqrt3}{\sqrt3-1}=2+\sqrt3\approx3.73$

Answer:

C, 2.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Arabian Plate: 1.29x10^-4 = .000129

African Plate: 6x10^-5 = .000006

Once you've converted both into standard form, divide them to find the difference.

.000129/.000006 = 2.15
