Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In similar triangles corresponding triangles are in same ratio.

$\frac{15}{5}=\frac{12}{y}$

Cross multiply,

15 * y = 12 * 5

y = $\frac{12*5}{15}$

y = 4

Nady [450]

Answer:

$A) 16.56 ~in^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Area=\frac{a+b (h)}{2}$

$\frac{6.1+3.1(3.6)}{2}$

= $\frac{9.2(3.6)}{2}$

= $4.6(3.6)$

= $A=16.56$

Assume that there is a 8% rate of disk drive failure in a year. a. If all your computer data is stored on a hard disk drive wit

romanna [79]

Answer:

0.9936 = 99.36% probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive

Step-by-step explanation:

For each disk, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it works, or it does not. The probability of a disk working is independent of any other disk, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

Assume that there is a 8% rate of disk drive failure in a year.

So 100 - 8 = 92% probability of working, which means that $p = 0.92$

Two disks are used:

This means that $n = 2$

What is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive?

This is:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{2,0}.(0.92)^{0}.(0.08)^{2} = 0.0064$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0064 = 0.9936$

0.9936 = 99.36% probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive

The table shows a pattern of exponents. What is the pattern as the exponents decrease?

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the pattern as the exponent decreases.

the first value in the table is 125.

if we divide 125 by 5 i.e 125/5 we get 25

the next value in the table is 25

if we divide 25 by 5 i.e 25/5 we get 5

the next value in the table is 5

if we divide 5 by 5 i.e 5/5 we get 1

the next value in the table is 1

if we divide 1 by 5 i.e 1/5 we get 1/5

the next value in the table is 1/5

if we divide 1/5 by 5 i.e 1/5*5 we get 1/25

the next value in the table is 1/25

So, the pattern is if we divide the previous value by 5 we get the next value in the table.

So, Option C is correct.

PLEASE HELP HELP!!! PRECALC

brilliants [131]

Answer:

The base is 0.1

The base is less than 1 so the function is decreasing

The x intercept is (3,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of a logarithm refers to the number that must be raised to the power of the number on the right hand side of the logarithmic equation in order to yield the number on the left hand side of the logarithmic equation. It is always written as a subscript below the log symbol. In this case, the base is 0.1.

When the base of a logarithm is less than 1, it means that the function is decreasing as is the case in this question.

Looking at the graph, the x axis is cut at the point (3,0). This is the x-intercept of the graph.
