Answer: x = 7

Thus 7 associates and 10 partners were assigned

Step-by-step explanation:

7 associates and 10 partners were assigned

Let "x" be the number of associates assigned to

case

Let "y" be the number of partners assigned to the case

The law firm assigned a total of 17 lawyers to the case

Therefore,

x + y = 17

x = 17 - y --------- eqn 1

daily rate charged to the client for each associate is $800

daily rate for each partner is $1800

They was able to charge the client $23600 per day for these lawyers' services

Therefore,

800x + 1800y = 23600 ------- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2

800(17 - y) + 1800y = 23600

13600 - 800y + 1800y = 23600

1000y = 23600 - 13600

1000y = 10000

Divide both sides by 1000

y = 10

Substitute y = 10 in eqn 1

x = 17 - 10

x = 7

Thus 7 associates and 10 partners were assigned

Find the equation of the line that goes through (-8,11) and is perpendicular to x= - 15. Write the equation in the form x = a, y

galben [10]

Answer:

y=11

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We want to find the equation of the line that passes through the point (-8, 11) and is perpendicular to x=-15

If a line is perpendicular to another line, it means that the slopes of those lines are negative and reciprocal; in other words, the product of the slopes is equal to -1

The line x=-15 has an undefined slope, which we can represent as 1/0, which is also undefined.

To find the slope of the line perpendicular to x=-15, we can use this equation (m is the slope):

$m_1*m_2=-1$

$m_1$ in this instance would be 1/0, so we can substitute it into the equation:

$\frac{1}{0} *m_2=-1$

Multiply both sides by 0

$m_2=0$

So the slope of the new line is 0

We can substitute it into the equation y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept:

y=0x+b

Now we need to find b:

Since the equation passes through the point (-8,11), we can use its values to solve for b.

Substitute -8 as x and 11 as y:

11=0(-8)+b

Multiply

11=0+b, or 11=b

So substitute into the equation:

y=0x+11

We can also write the equation as y=11

Hope this helps!

Find the value of x

marin [14]

Answer:

$x=14$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle is a right triangle, meaning it is a triangle with a right angle, this is indicated by the box around one of the angles. When given a right triangle, one can use the right triangle trigonometric ratios. These ratios describe the relationship between an angle in a right triangle, and the sides in a right triangle. Such ratios are as follows,

$sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\\\\cos(\theta)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\tan(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

Bear in mind that the way one names the sides, in the sense of (opposite or adjacent) will change based on the angle one uses to describe the triangle. However, the hypotenuse is the same no matter the angle, as the hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle.

In this case, one is given one of the angles, and the side opposite the angle. One is asked to find the hypotenuse of the triangle. One can use the sine (sin) ratio to achieve this.

$sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

Substitute,

$sin(30)=\frac{7}{x}$

Inverse operations,

$x=\frac{7}{sin(30)}$

Simplify,

$x=14$

Consider randomly selecting a student at a certain university, and let A denote the event that the selected individual has a Vis

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Visa card is represented by P(A)

MasterCard is represented by P(B)

P(A)= 0.6

P(A')=0.4

P(B)=0.5

P(B')=0.5

P(A∩B)=0.35

1. P(A U B) =?

P(A U B)= P(A)+P(B)-P(A ∩ B)

P(A U B)=0.6+0.5-0.35

P(A U B)= 0.75

The probability of student that has least one of the cards is 0.75

2. Probability of the neither of the student have the card is given as

P(A U B)'=1-P(A U B)

P(A U B)= 1-0.75

P(A U B)= 0.25

3. Probability of Visa card only,

P(A)= 0.6

P(A) only means students who has visa card but not MasterCard.

P(A) only= P(A) - P(A ∩ B)

P(A) only=0.6-0.35

P(A) only=0.25.

4. Compute the following

a. A ∩ B'

b. A ∪ B'

c. A' ∪ B'

d. A' ∩ B'

e. A' ∩ B

a. A ∩ B'

P(A∩ B') implies that the probability of A without B i.e probability of A only and it has been obtain in question 3.

P(A ∩ B')= P(A-B)=P(A)-P(A∩ B)

P(A∩ B')= 0.6-0.35

P(A∩ B')= 0.25

b. P(A ∪ B')

P(A ∪ B')= P(A)+P(B')-P(A ∩ B')

P(A ∪ B')= 0.6+0.5-0.25

P(A ∪ B')= 0.85

c. P(A' ∪ B')= P(A')+P(B')-P(A' ∩ B')

But using Demorgan theorem

P(A∩B)'=P(A' ∪ B')

P(A∩B)'=1-P(A∩B)

P(A∩B)'=1-0.35

P(A∩B)'=0.65

Then, P(A∩B)'=P(A' ∪ B')= 0.65

d. P( A' ∩ B' )

Using demorgan theorem

P(A U B)'= P(A' ∩ B')

P(A U B)'= 1-P(A U B)

P(A' ∩ B')= 1-0.75

P(A' ∩ B')= 0.25

P(A U B)'= P(A' ∩ B')=0.25

e. P(A' ∩ B)= P(B ∩ A') commutative law

Then, P(B ∩ A') = P(B) only

P(B ∩ A') = P(B) -P(A ∩ B)

P(B ∩ A') =0.5 -0.35

P(B ∩ A') =0.15

P(A' ∩ B)= P(B ∩ A') =0.15
