Answer:

12 m

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved using the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 = b^2 + c^2

20^2= 16^2 + c^2

400= 256 + c^2

400-256= c^2

144 = c^2

c = √144

c= 12

Find all solutions in the interval [0,2π) of the equation.
Sauron [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

2sin(x)cos(x) - sin(x) + 2cos(x)-1= 0

<=> sinx( 2cosx -1) + ( 2cosx -1) =0

<=> (sinx +1) + ( 2cosx-1)=0

<=> sinx=-1 or cosx= 1/2

+) sinx=1 => x= pi/2 + k×2pi

+)cosx=1/2 => x= pi/3+ k×2pi or x=-pi/3 + k×2pi

x€ [0,2pi] => x= pi/2, pi/3.

In a lot (collection) of 100 light bulbs, there are 5 defective bulbs. an inspector inspects 10 bulbs selected at random. find t
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
Probability of finding no defective bulb
=95/100*94/99....86/91
=95!/(85!) / (100!/90!)
= 110983/190120
=>
Probability of finding at least one defective bulb
=1-110983/190120
= 79137/190120
= 0.41625 (to 5 decimal places)
