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%.

Why is the speed not the same on each surface
gulaghasi [49]

Answer

Speed depends on the amount of force you put into it... it the force is the same on the each surface then it will depend on the roughness of the surface as in friction

Write -3+4i in the form r(cosx+isinx)
Zanzabum
-3+4i is a complex number that satisfies

\begin{cases}r\cos x=-3\\[1ex]r\sin x=4\\[1ex]r=\sqrt{(-3)^2+4^2}\end{cases}

The last equation immediately tells you that r=5.

So you have

\begin{cases}\cos x=-\dfrac35\\[1ex]\sin x=\dfrac45\end{cases}

Dividing the second equation by the first, you end up with

\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}=\tan x=\dfrac{\dfrac45}{-\dfrac35}=-\dfrac43

Because the argument's cosine is negative and its sine is positive, you know that \dfrac\pi2. This is important to know because it's only the case that y=\tan x\implies \arctan y=x whenever -\dfrac\pi2. The inverse doesn't exist otherwise.

However, you can restrict the domain of the tangent function so that an inverse can be defined. By shifting the argument of tangent by \pi, we have

\tan(x-\pi)=y\implies x=\pi+\arctan y

All this to say

\tan x=-\dfrac43\implies x=\pi+\arctan\left(-\dfrac43\right)\approx2.2143\text{ rad}\approx126.9^\circ

So, -3+4i=5(\cos126.9^\circ+i\sin126.9^\circ).

Find the value of x. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth. The figure is not
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

9.2

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use the pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse between the centre of the circle and the midpoint of the line segment.

hence,

x = sqrt(36 + 49)

x = 9.21

A wet bicycle tire leaves a trace of water on the floor. The tire has a radius of 30 \text{ cm}30 cm30, start text, space, c, m,
Annette [7]

Answer:

186 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the bicycle wheel is making a rotation and not a revolution, the bicycle wheel is at one point.

The length of the trace of water left on the floor is simply the circumference of the bicycle wheel

Circumference = 2πR

where R = radius of the bicycle wheel

and π = pie

Circumference = 2 × (22/7) × 30 = 188.57143 cm
