Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 40% of the crew are men, which means n.40=8 n=8/.40 n=20 total number of crew 20 - 8=12 are women.

Studentka2010 [4]

To find compound probability, multiply the probability of the first and second events. In this case, if you wanted to draw the green first and then the blue, 10/24 or 5/8 times 6/23 equals 30/184 which reduces to 15/92.

Discrete MathA coin is flipped four times. For each of the events described below, express the event as a set in roster notation

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

a) 25%

b) 50%

c) 87.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are $2^4 = 16$ number of outcome in total.

a)First and last flips come up heads. There are 4 outcomes here. Probability of the event is 4/16 = 1/4, or 25%.

Solve the equation for all real values of x.<br> cosxtanx - 2 cos x=-1

IceJOKER [234]

Solution to equation $cosxtanx - 2 cos^2 x=-1$ for all real values of x is $x=2k\pi + \frac{\pi}{6} , x=2k\pi + \frac{5\pi}{6}$ .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , $cosxtanx - 2 cos^2 x=-1$ . Let's solve :

⇒ $cosxtanx - 2 cos^2 x=-1$

⇒ $cosx(\frac{sinx}{cosx}) - 2 cos^2 x=-1$

⇒ $sinx = 2 cos^2 x-1$

⇒ $sinx = 2 (1-sin^2x)-1$

⇒ $sinx = 1-2sin^2x$

⇒ $2sin^2x+sinx-1=0$

By quadratic formula :

⇒ $sinx = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

⇒ $sinx = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1^2-4(2)(-1)} }{2(2)}$

⇒ $sinx = \frac{-1 \pm3}{4}$

⇒ $sinx = \frac{1}{2} , sinx =-1$

⇒ $sinx = sin\frac{\pi}{6} , sinx = sin\frac{3\pi}{2}$

⇒ $x=\frac{\pi}{6} , x=\frac{3\pi}{2}$

But at $x=\frac{3\pi}{2}$ we have equation undefined as $cos\frac{3\pi}{2}=0$ . Hence only solution is :

⇒ $x=\frac{\pi}{6}$

Since , $sin(\pi -x)=sinx$

⇒ $x=\pi -\frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{5\pi}{6}$

Now , General Solution is given by :

⇒ $x=2k\pi + \frac{\pi}{6} , x=2k\pi + \frac{5\pi}{6}$

Therefore , Solution to equation $cosxtanx - 2 cos^2 x=-1$ for all real values of x is $x=2k\pi + \frac{\pi}{6} , x=2k\pi + \frac{5\pi}{6}$ .

Please help I’m confused?!?

olga2289 [7]

It is just asking you to reorder the number so that the smallest number is first and the largest number is last.

The answer is: 8, 8.261, 8.4, 8.634

Which expression is equivalent to -9x^-1y^-1 / -15x^5 y^-3 Assume x = 0 y = 0

jenyasd209 [6]

For this case we have the following expression:
-9x ^ -1y ^ -1 / -15x ^ 5 y ^ -3
For power properties we have:
-9x ^ (- 1-5) y ^ (- 1 - (- 3)) / - 15
Rewriting we have:
9x ^ (- 6) y ^ (- 1 + 3) / 15
3x ^ (- 6) y ^ (2) / 5
3y ^ 2 / 5x ^ 6
Answer:
3y ^ 2 / 5x ^ 6Note: answer is not between the options. Rewrite the expression again, or the options.
