The odds against a spinner showing an even number are 3:8. What is the probability of the spinner showing an even number?

1 answer:

6 0

Odds: yes/no
Probability: yes/total

3:8 represents odds of 'not even' which is the same as odds of an odd number being spun.
There are 3 odd numbers and 8 even numbers.
P(even) = 8/11

Answer:

v² - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify usually means to reduce something.

So like in this problem all we have to do is reduce...

v^2 - 2^2

v² - 4

Hope this helps :)

Consider the given vector field. F(x, y, z) = 8x^2 + y^2 + z^2 (x i + y j + z k)(a) Find the curl of the vector field. curl F =

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

a) Curl F=0

b) div F=16x+2y+2z

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the given vector field is $\vec F=8x^2i +y^2j+z^2k$ , then the curl of F is

$Curl F=\nabla \times F$

$Curl F=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\\frac{\partial}{\partial x} &\frac{\partial}{\partial y} &\frac{\partial}{\partial z} \\8x^2&y^2&z^2\end{array}\right|$

$\implies Curl F=(\frac{\partial (z^2)}{\partial y} -\frac{\partial (y^2)}{\partial z} )i-(\frac{\partial (z^2)}{\partial x} -\frac{\partial (8x^2)}{\partial z} )j+(\frac{\partial (y^2)}{\partial y} -\frac{\partial (8x^2)}{\partial y} )k$
