Your English teacher has decided to randomly assign poems for the class to read. The syllabus includes four poems by Shakespeare

, five poems by Coleridge, two poems by Tennyson, and two poems by Lord Byron. What is the probability that you will be assigned a poem by Shakespeare, and then a poem by Tennyson?

The probability of event A and B to both occur is denoted as P(A ∩ B) = P(A) P(B|A). It is the probability that Event A occurs times the probability that Event B occurs, given that Event A has occurred.

So, to find the probability that you will be assigned a poem by Shakespeare and by Tennyson, let Event A = the event that a Shakespeare poem will be assigned to you; and let Event B = the event that the second poem that will be assigned to you will be by Tennyson.

At first, there are a total of 13 poems that would be randomly assigned in your class. There are 4 poems by Shakespeare, thus P(A) is 4/13.
After the first selection, there would be 13 poems left. Therefore, P(B|A) = 2/12
Based on the rule of multiplication,
P(A ∩ B) = P(A) P(B|A)P(A ∩ B) = 4/13 * 2/12
P(A ∩ B) = 8/156
P(A ∩ B) = 2/39

The probability that you will be assigned a poem by Shakespeare, then a poem by Tennyson is 2/39 or 5.13%.

Consider the line integral Z C (sin x dx + cos y dy), where C consists of the top part of the circle x 2 + y 2 = 1 from (1, 0) t
pashok25 [27]

Direct computation:

Parameterize the top part of the circle x^2+y^2=1 by

\vec r(t)=(x(t),y(t))=(\cos t,\sin t)

with 0\le t\le\pi, and the line segment by

\vec s(t)=(1-t)(-1,0)+t(2,-\pi)=(3t-1,-\pi t)

with 0\le t\le1. Then

\displaystyle\int_C(\sin x\,\mathrm dx+\cos y\,\mathrm dy)

=\displaystyle\int_0^\pi(-\sin t\sin(\cos t)+\cos t\cos(\sin t)\,\mathrm dt+\int_0^1(3\sin(3t-1)-\pi\cos(-\pi t))\,\mathrm dt

=0+(\cos1-\cos2)=\boxed{\cos1-\cos2}

Using the fundamental theorem of calculus:

The integral can be written as

\displaystyle\int_C(\sin x\,\mathrm dx+\cos y\,\mathrm dy)=\int_C\underbrace{(\sin x,\cos y)}_{\vec F}\cdot\underbrace{(\mathrm dx,\mathrm dy)}_{\vec r}

If there happens to be a scalar function f such that \vec F=\nabla f, then \vec F is conservative and the integral is path-independent, so we only need to worry about the value of f at the path's endpoints.

This requires

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=\sin x\implies f(x,y)=-\cos x+g(y)

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=\cos y=\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dy}\implies g(y)=\sin y+C

So we have

f(x,y)=-\cos x+\sin y+C

which means \vec F is indeed conservative. By the fundamental theorem, we have

\displaystyle\int_C(\sin x\,\mathrm dx+\cos y\,\mathrm dy)=f(2,-\pi)-f(1,0)=-\cos2-(-\cos1)=\boxed{\cos1-\cos2}

Help me please. <br>20+(-16)4
Sphinxa [80]
P.E.M.D.A.S
First , you multiply.

200+(-16)4
200+(-64)

Since they have different signs, you subtract and keep the sign of the greater absolute value.

200+(-64)=136

Heidi must correctly answer at least 80% of the questions on an exam to advance to the next
Oduvanchick [21]
Given:
must correctly answer 80% of the questions
correctly answered questions = 26
incorrectly answered questions = 4
unanswered questions = 15

Total questions = 26 + 4 + 15 = 45

45 * 80% = 36 required correctly answered questions.

36 - 26 = 10

Out of 15 remaining questions, 10 questions must be correctly answered for Heidi to advance to the next level.
