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

Given a bag of 5 blue, 3 green, and 8 red marbles.. What is the probability of picking a blue

Anvisha [2.4K]

$b = 5, \: g = 3, \: r = 8$

$total = 5 + 3 + 8 = 16$

$p(b) = \frac{5}{16}$

$p(g |without \: replacement|) = \frac{3}{16 - 1} = \frac{3}{15} = \frac{1}{5} \\$

$p(b \: and \: g) = \frac{5}{16} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{16}$

Evaluate each expression for w=5, x=3, y=4 and z=8.<br> 3y+6/2x

Aliun [14]

Plug in your numbers so the equation will turn out to be 3(4)+6/2(3) , you need to simplify 6/2 which will be 3 and 3 times 3 = 9 so the equation will be 3(4)+9 and 3 times 4 = 12 so the equation will now be 12+9 = 21
Answer= 21

Question 4

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for chart

Required

Number of off days

To do this, we simply calculate the expected value of the chart.

This is calculated as:

$E(x) = \sum x * f$

Where

x = days

f = chances

So, we have:

$E(x) = 0* 0.3 + 1 *0.2 + 2 * 0.25 + 3 * 0.2 + 4 * 0.02 + 5 * 0.01 + 6 * 0.01 + 7 * 0.01$

$E(x) = 1.56$

$E(x) \approx 2$

PLZ Help fast. It's Pre Calculus. This is the only day i get to spend time with my baby sister. please help fast. WILL MARK BRAI

Ivahew [28]

1) x³ + 2x² - x - 2 2) 2x³ + 5x² - 8x - 20 = 0

x²(x + 2) - (x + 2) x²(2x + 5) - 4(2x + 5) = 0

(x + 2)(x² - 1) (2x + 5)(x² - 4) = 0

(x + 2)(x - 1)(x + 1) x = -5/2, +-2

x = -2, 1, -1 << a is the answer.

hope that helps, God bless!
