Answer: 112 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Rewrite
as a decimal. Divide the numerator and the denominator of the fractional part and add it to the integer part:

2. You know that each metal rod is 15 inches long. Then, you must divide the lenght of each one by 3.6:

3. The waste is 0.16, therefore, you obtain 4 pieces from a metal rod. The total pieces obtained from 28 metal rods are:

The probability that at least two of the missiles hit the arsenal:
P ( x ≥ 2 ) = P ( x = 2 ) + P ( x = 3 )
P ( x = 2 ) = 0.75 · 0.85 · 0.1 + 0.85 · 0.9 · 0.25 + 0.75 · 0.9 · 0.15 =
= 0.06375 + 0.10125 + 0.19125 = 0.35625
P ( x = 3 ) = 0.75 · 0.85 · 0.9 = 0.57375
P ( x ≥ 2 ) = 0.35625 + 0.57375 = 0.93
Answer:
The probability is 0.93 or 93%.
Using Lagrange multipliers, we have the Lagrangian

with partial derivatives (set equal to 0)




Substituting the first three equations into the fourth allows us to solve for

:

For each possible value of

, we get two corresponding critical points at

.
At these points, respectively, we get a maximum value of

and a minimum value of

.
Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
If ΔMNO ≅ ΔPST, their corresponding sides must also be ≅(congruent).
NO is corresponds to TS, thus sides NO and side TS are ≅.
=> 20 = 3x - 7
=> 3x = 27
=> x = 9
The value of x from the given diagram is 17
<h2>Vertically opposite angles</h2>
From the given diagram, m<2 and m<3 are vertically opposite since they form angles from the intersection of lines at the point X
Given that;
- m<2 = 4x + 2
- m<3 = 5x - 15
Equate both expressions to have:
m<2 = m<3
4x + 2 = 5x - 15
4x - 5x = -15 - 2
-x = -17
x = 17
Hence the value of x from the given diagram is 17.
