A sequence of numbers begins with 12 and progresses geometrically. Each number is the previous number divided by 2.

Leviafan [203]

The common ratio is the current number divided by the previous. So the ratio is 1/2

The sequence is 12, 6, 3, 3/2, 3/4 ...

You can obtain any number multiplying the previous number times 1/2.

6 = 12 *(1/2)

3 = 6*(1/2)

3/2 = 3*(1/2)

Find the values of x and y

zhuklara [117]

You can use a tangent:

$tangent=\dfrac{opposite}{adjacent}$

We have opposite = 17 and adjacent = x.

$\tan30^o=\dfrac{\sqrt3}{3}$

substitute:

$\dfrac{17}{x}=\dfrac{\sqrt3}{3}$ cross multiply

$x\sqrt3=(3)(17)$ multiply both sides by √3

$x(\sqrt3)(\sqrt3)=51\sqrt3$

$3x=51\sqrt3$ divide both sides by 3

$x=17\sqrt3$

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

$y^2=(17\sqrt3)^2+17^2\\\\y^2=289(\sqrt3)^2+289\\\\y^2=289\cdot3+289\\\\y^2=867+289\\\\y^2=1156\to y=\sqrt{1156}\\\\y=34$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other method.

$30^o-60^o-90^o$ triangle.

The sides are in the ratio $1:2:\sqrt3\to17:y:x$

Therefore

$17:(2\cdot17):(17\sqrt3)\to17:34:17\sqrt3\to x=34,\ y=17\sqrt3$

A spinner numbered 1 through 12 is spun. Find the probability that

anastassius [24]

Answer:

$\dfrac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>A</em> be the event of getting an odd number.

<em>P(A)</em> be the probability of getting an odd number.

Total odd numbers here are 6 i.e. $\{1,3,5,7,9,11\}$

Here, total numbers in the game are 12 i.e $\{1,2,3,....,12\}$ .

Formula for probability of an <em>event E</em> can be observed as:

$P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}$

$P(A) = \dfrac{6}{12}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}$

Let <em>B</em> be the event of getting 11.

<em>P(B)</em> be the probability of getting 11.

Total number of possible cases is 1.

$P(B) = \dfrac{1}{12}$

$P(A \cap B)$ is the probability that we get 11 and an odd number.

Possible number of cases = 1

$P(A\cap B) = \dfrac{1}{12}$

<em>P(B/A)</em> is the probability that we get an 11 given that it is an odd number.

$P(B/A) = \dfrac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{12}}{\dfrac{1}{2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{6}$

Hence, P(B/A) = $\dfrac{1}{6}$
