Answer:

x+ (x+1) = 55

27, 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = first number

x+1 is the next consecutive number

x+ (x+1) = 55

Combine like terms

2x+1 = 55

Subtract 1 from each side

2x+1-1 = 55-1

2x = 54

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 54/2

x = 27

The numbers are 27 and 28

Prove that<br> 1+cosθ+sinθ/1+cosθ-sinθ = 1+sinθ/cosθ

marusya05 [52]

Step-by-step explanation:

(1 + cos θ + sin θ) / (1 + cos θ − sin θ)

Multiply by the reciprocal:

(1 + cos θ + sin θ) / (1 + cos θ − sin θ) × (1 + cos θ + sin θ) / (1 + cos θ + sin θ)

(1 + cos θ + sin θ)² / [ (1 + cos θ − sin θ) (1 + cos θ + sin θ) ]

(1 + cos θ + sin θ)² / [ (1 + cos θ)² − sin² θ) ]

Distribute and simplify:

(1 + cos θ + sin θ)² / (1 + 2 cos θ + cos² θ − sin² θ)

[ 1 + 2 (cos θ + sin θ) + (cos θ + sin θ)² ] / (1 + 2 cos θ + cos² θ − sin² θ)

(1 + 2 cos θ + 2 sin θ + cos² θ + 2 sin θ cos θ + sin² θ) / (1 + 2 cos θ + cos² θ − sin² θ)

Use Pythagorean identity:

(2 + 2 cos θ + 2 sin θ + 2 sin θ cos θ) / (sin² θ + cos² θ + 2 cos θ + cos² θ − sin² θ)

(2 + 2 cos θ + 2 sin θ + 2 sin θ cos θ) / (2 cos² θ + 2 cos θ)

(1 + cos θ + sin θ + sin θ cos θ) / (cos² θ + cos θ)

Factor:

(1 + cos θ + sin θ (1 + cos θ)) / (cos θ (1 + cos θ))

(1 + cos θ)(1 + sin θ) / (cos θ (1 + cos θ))

(1 + sin θ) / cos θ

nventing is a difficult way to make money. Only 5% of new patents earn a substantial profit. A certain city has just had30 indep

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

$P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X$

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=0) = (30C0) (0.05)^0 (1-0.05)^{30-0} =0.2146$

$P(X=1) = (30C1) (0.05)^1 (1-0.05)^{30-1} = 0.3389$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=30, p=0.05)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

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

Solution to the problem

For this case we want this probability:

$P(X \geq 2)$

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

$P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X$

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=0) = (30C0) (0.05)^0 (1-0.05)^{30-0} =0.2146$

$P(X=1) = (30C1) (0.05)^1 (1-0.05)^{30-1} = 0.3389$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X$

Find the equation of the line given the slope and the y-intercept

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

y = $\frac{1}{2}x + 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a linear graph is usually written in the following format...

y = mx + b

Where m would be the slope, usually referring to rise over run and b would be the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis). From the graph, we can see that the line crosses the y-axis at point 3 so b would be 3. The graph also shows us that for every 1 value that the line rises it moves to the right 2 values. Therefore, the slope would be 1/2. Using these values we can create the following equation...

y = $\frac{1}{2}x + 3$
