The length of the sky lift is 3.387.05 ft
Step-by-step explanation;
By an online search, i found that the sky lift
rises at an angle of 20.75 degrees.
Then we can think on a triangle rectangle, such
that:
One cathetus is 1200ft, this is the opposite
cathetus to the angle of 20.75°
The length of the ski lift would be the
hypotenuse of this triangle rectangle.
Then we can use the relationship:
Sin(a) = opposite cathetus/hypoteuse.
such that:
a = 20.75°
opposite cathetus=1200ft
then:
sin(20.75°) = 1200ft/hypotenuse
hypotenuse =1200ft/sin(20.759) =3.387.05 ft
The length of the sky lift is 3.387.05 ft

. Let f(x) = x2 and g(x) = x − 3. Evaluate (g ∘ f)(−2). 1 7 20 −20

For this case we have the following functions:

$f (x) = x ^ 2\\g (x) = x-3$

We must find $(g_ {0} f) (x)$

By definition we have to:

$(g_ {0} f) (x) = g (f (x))$

So:

$g (f (x)) = (x ^ 2) -3 = x ^ 2-3$

We must evaluate the composite function for $x = -2$

$g (f (-2)) = (- 2) ^ 2-3 = 4-3 = 1$

ANswer:

$g (f (-2)) = 1$

Answer:

$\Omega = \{ 1HH, 1HT, 1TH, 1TT, 2H, 2T, 3HH, 3HT, 3TH, 3TT, 4H, 4T,\\5HH , 5HT, 5TH, 5TT, 6H, 6T \}$

The probability is 3/12. The third option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space is

$\Omega = \{ 1HH, 1HT, 1TH, 1TT, 2H, 2T, 3HH, 3HT, 3TH, 3TT, 4H, 4T,\\5HH , 5HT, 5TH, 5TT, 6H, 6T \}$

Note that this sample space is not equally probable.

The probability of getting a given number followed is the probability of getting an even number from the 6 numbers (3/6) multiplied by the probability of getting a head after getting that even number, that is 1/2, because is equally probable to get heads or tails from one single coin toss (note that we are assuming that the dice was even, thats why there is a single coin toss).

Therefore, the probability of getting an even number and a head is

P( D in {2,4,6} , H = 1) = P(D in {2,4,6}) * P(H=1 | D in {2,4,6}) = 3/6 * 1/2 = 3/12.
