<h3>Solution:</h3>

<u>Note that:</u>

  • Total pupils: 31
  • 4 pupils = flute only
  • 14 pupils = piano only
  • 7 pupils = neither
  • This means that {31 - (4 + 14 + 7)} pupils play both instruments.

<u>First, let's find out the number of pupils who play both instruments.</u>

  • => {31 - (4 + 14 + 7)} pupils
  • => {31 - (25)} pupils
  • => {31 - 25} pupils
  • => 6 pupils

<u>Probability form:</u><em> Student who plays both instruments/Total students</em>

  • => 6/31

The probability that this student plays both instruments is 6/31.

Answer:

probability the student plays both instruments is [  \frac{6}{31}  ]

<h2>                         <u>Explanation</u>:</h2>

students who play both instruments = total students - flute players - piano players - students who play neither instruments

students who play both instruments

→ 31 - 4 - 14 - 7

→ 6 students play both instruments.

probability:

<h2>→  \boxed{\frac{students- who -play- both- instruments}{total -students} }</h2><h2>→                     \boxed{\frac{6}{31} }</h2>

Find area of the shaded region.
Monica [59]

Answer:

The area of the shaded region is about 38.1 square centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the area of the shaded region.

To do so, we can first find the area of the sector and then subtract the area of the triangle from the sector.

The given circle has a radius of 6 cm.

And the given sector has a central angle of 150°.

The area for a sector is given by the formula:

\displaystyle A=\pi r^2\cdot \frac{\theta}{360^\circ}

In this case, r = 6 and θ = 150°. Hence, the area of the sector is:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned}A&=\pi(6)^2\cdot \frac{150}{360}\\ &=36\pi\cdot \frac{5}{12}\\&=3\pi \cdot 5\\&=15\pi \text{ cm}^2\end{aligned}

Now, we can find the area of the triangle. We can use an alternative formula:

\displaystyle A=\frac{1}{2}ab\sin(C)

Where a and b are the side lengths, and C is the angle between them.

Both side lengths of the triangle are the radii of the circle. So, both side lengths are 6.

And the angle C is 150°. Hence, the area of the triangle is:

\displaystyle A=\frac{1}{2}(6)(6)\sin(150)=18\sin(150)

The area of the shaded region is equivalent to the sector minus the triangle:

A_{\text{shaded}}=A_{\text{sector}}-A_{\text{triangle}}

Therefore:

A_{\text{shaded}}=15\pi -18\sin(150)

Use a calculator:

A_{\text{shaded}}=38.1238...\approx 38.1\text{ cm}^2

The area of the shaded region is about 38.1 square centimeters.

If f(x)=x^3-x, what is the average rate of change of f(x) over the interval [1,5]?
RSB [31]

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change=Δf(x)/Δx = [f(x2)-f(x1]/[x2-x1]

Δf(x)/Δx = [f(5)-f(1]/[5-1]

f(5)=5³-5=120

f(1)=1³-1=0

Δf(x)/Δx = [120-0]/[5-1]=120/4=30

What is 585.30 rounded to the nearest whole number please HURRY
Bogdan [553]
If the first number behind the decimal point is lower than five, you leave the digits in front of the decimal the same. If it is equal to or above five, then the number in front of the decimal is rounded up. In this case it would stay the same, so your answer would be 585.
