y = 6 - n

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given ,

input: 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5 Output: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Let y = m x + c be the linear function

Step 2 :

When we take the input as 1, the output is 5, and when input is 2 the output is 4

so we have x,y as (1,5) and (2,4)

Hence substituting this in the linear function we get,

5 = m (1) + c and 4 = m (2) + c

=> m + c = 5 and 2 m + c = 4

Step 3 :

Solving for m and c with these 2 equations , we have

m = -1 and c = 6

so we have the equation as y= (-1) x + 6

When the input is n, x = n

so output is y = (-1) n + 6

y = 6 - n

The Chocolate House specializes in hand-dipped chocolates for special occasions. Three employees do all of the product packaging

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the Chocolate House specializes in hand-dipped chocolates for special occasions. Three employees do all of the product packaging

Clerk I II III total

Pack 0.33 0.23 0.44 1

Defective 0.02 0.025 0.015

Pack&def 0.0066 0.00575 0.0066 0.01895

a) probability that a randomly selected box of chocolates was packed by Clerk 2 and does not contain any defective chocolate

= P(II clerk) -P(II clerk and defective) = $0.23-0.00575=0.22425$

b) the probability that a randomly selected box contains defective chocolate=P(I and def)+P(ii and def)+P(iiiand def)

=0.01895

c) Suppose a randomly selected box of chocolates is defective. The probability that it was packaged by Clerk 3

=P(clerk 3 and def)/P(defective)

= $\frac{0.0066}{0.01895} \\=0.348285$

A volleyball uniform costs $15 for the shirt, $12 for shorts, and $8 for socks. Which expression applies the distributive proper

bixtya [17]

Answer:

I think it would be 350$

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so you have to buy 10 shirts so you need to set up your problem which would be 10(12+8+15)

Then you would have to actually distribute which would give you 120+80+150

Finally you just add all of your numbers together which would be 350$

yan [13]

Answer: The Fuschia Bot clicks _6_ times in 0.75 sec,

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the unit rate by time:

.75 sec × 8 clicks/sec

Seconds cancel. .75(8) = 6 clicks

Can some show the steps and the answer please I really need help tell me how you get it and the answer

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so this is about triangles.. sooo the following is a bit of helpful reminders that I keep on my computer to help me remember how to fit the trig functions to triangles.. I strongly suggest you copy it and keep it where you can look at it often.

Use SOH CAH TOA to recall how the trig functions fit on a triangle

SOH: Sin(Ф)= Opp / Hyp

CAH: Cos(Ф)= Adj / Hyp

TOA: Tan(Ф) = Opp / Adj

I use this anytime I run into triangles or need some help with sin or cos

now the problem , 3 ladder 10, 12, & 15 feet. Alex wants to get to 8 feet.

the problems is also telling you that you can use t..... and then , the words are cut off.. but I know they were going to say Tan ... next.. :P

b/c Tan is how you figure out problems with the adjacent side and the opposite side. like this problem. Look at TOA above. use that to recall how the parts fit in the formula

Tan(∅) = Opp / Adj

they give us the Opp side of 8 feet in the problem

then they also tell us the Hyp of the triangle which is each of the ladders length. Then they ask us what is the Adj sides length?

So we also need to solve the triangle with the know hyp (ladder length).. uggg, this problem is long. Then we can solve the dist. from the wall or Adj side length.

it's two steps, if you want to think of it that way. You're supposed to be pretty confident with trig functions. I'm guessing this is a trig class.. right?

let's solve for the 3 different angles that the ladders make , each going to 8 feel. Obviously, nobody would really do this with a ladder they would just lean it against the wall . and if it's taller than where they want to climb, they would just go up part way. so anyway, find the 3 different angles.

look above to see which formula to use.

I like SOH b/c it seems to have all the pieces of the triangle we want to work with.

ladder 1 ( 10')

Sin(∅) = Opp / Hyp

Sin(∅) = 8 / 10

∅ = arcSin (4/5)

[ first, yes, I just reduced the fraction, then I did the arcSin on both sides, I think you might know how to do that already ? ]

∅ = 53.13010 °

( yes, I used my calculator to find that, calculators are okay to use when figuring out non standard angles )

ladder 2 (12')

Sin(∅) = 8/12

∅ = arcSin (2/3)

∅ = 41.81031°

ladder 3 (15')

Sin(∅) = 8/15

∅ = arcSin (8/15)

∅ = 32.230952°

now use our Tan function to find the Adjacent side which is the distance from the wall

Tan(∅)= Opp / Adj

Adj = Opp / Tan(∅)

( I did some quick algebra to move the side we want to solve for, now plug and chug all 3 angles )

ladder 1

Adj = 8 / Tan(53.13010)

Adj = 6.0000005

ladder 2

Adj = 8 / Tan(41.81031)

Adj = 8.94427

ladder 3

Adj = 8 / Tan(32.230952)

Adj = 12.688577

so the 10' ladder is 6 feet from the wall

the 12' ladder is 8.9 feet from the wall

the 15 foot ladder is 12.7 feet from the wall.

I really don't think that 15' ladder is going to stay on the wall.. if Alex climbs it... it's way way too far out... it will just fall straight down the wall :/ Maybe another math problem for the forces involved :P
