Answer 1

Answer: [tex]64.2^{\circ}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the cosine rule

[tex]\cos C=\dfrac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}[/tex]

Here, [tex]a=83, b=111, c=165,\ C=180^{\circ}-\theta[/tex]

Putting values

[tex]\Rightarrow \cos (180^{\circ}-\theta)=\dfrac{83^2+111^2-165^2}{2\times 83\times 111}\\\\\Rightarrow \cos(180^{\circ}-\theta)=\dfrac{6889+12321-27225}{18426}\\\\\Rightarrow \cos(180^{\circ}-\theta)=\dfrac{-8015}{18426}=-0.4349\\\\\Rightarrow 180^{\circ}-\theta=\cos^{-1}(-0.4349)=115.77^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow \theta=64.23\approx 64.2^{\circ}[/tex]

So, the ship turns by [tex]64.2^{\circ}[/tex] north of west

Answer 2

The ship turned an at angle of 64.2 degrees north of west

Represent the angle, the ship turned due north of west with theta.

From the figure, we have the following equation

[tex]\cos(A) = \frac{b^2 + c^2 - a^2}{2bc}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\cos(A) = \frac{83^2 + 111^2 - 165^2}{2 * 83 *111}[/tex]

Evaluate the expression on the right-hand side

[tex]\cos(A) = -0.4350[/tex]

Take the arc cos of both sides

[tex]A = \cos^{-1}(0.4350)[/tex]

[tex]A =115.8^o[/tex]

The value of theta is then calculated as:

[tex]\theta = 180 -A[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\theta = 180 -115.8^o[/tex]

[tex]\theta = 64.2^o[/tex]

Hence, the ship turned an at angle of 64.2 degrees north of west

find each probability a coin landing heads up on every toss when it is tossed 3 times

Answers

Answer:

Their is not enough information

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:Consider coin 1:

It has to be either HEADS or TAILS (obviously). If it's a “Fair” coin the probability of getting either a Heads or Tails is (1/2) for each option.

Conclusion(so far):

Prob (Heads Coin 1) = (1/2) AND

Prob (Tails Coin 1) = (1/2)

To meet the requirements of the question, the second coin toss must have the same result as for the first coin toss.

So if the result for Coin 1 was Heads then the result for Coin 2 must also be Heads.

So

(Prob (Heads Coin 1 AND Heads Coin 2) = (Prob Heads Coin1) * (Prob Heads Coin 2) = (1/2)*(1/2) = (1/4)

Conclusion (so far) (2 coins tossed):

Prob of two coin tosses BOTH giving Heads is (1/2)*(1/2) = (1/4)

AND similarly

Prob of two coin tosses BOTH giving Tails is also (1/2)*(1/2) = (1/4)

To meet the requirements of the question, the third coin toss will, by definition be either HEADS or TAILS.

AND

Prob (Coin 3 Heads) = (1/2) AND

Prob (Coin 3 Tails) = (1/2)

The question is clear: We are asked to find the Probability that the (3 tosses) are the same.

That is, if the first toss (Coin 1) is Heads, then the results for Coin 2 and Coin 3 tosses must also be Heads.

Similarly if the the first toss (Coin 1) is Tails, then the results for Coin 2 and Coin 3 tosses must also be Tails.

So for the tosses for Coins 1, 2 and 3 to each be Heads, we have:

Prob (Coin 1 Heads, Coin 2 Heads, Coin 3 Heads) = (1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2) = (1/8)

AND

Prob (Coin 1 Tails, Coin 2 Tails, Coin 3 Tails) = (1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2) = (1/8)

There are NO OTHER NUMBER COMBINATIONS WHICH MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE QUESTION other than 3 Heads AND 3 Tails.

It is important to note THAT THE SITUATIONS ABOVE (3 Heads AND 3 Tails) are BOTH VALID SOLUTIONS.

Therefore

The Probability for 3 Heads is (1/8)

AND

The Probability for 3 Tails is (1/8)

BUT BOTH THESE SOLUTIONS ARE VALID PROBABILITIES and BOTH meet the requirements of the question.

Therefore the overall probability is THE SUM OF BOTH PROBABILITIES, that is:

The probability that after 3 tosses, the tosses of each coin ALL give the same result is:

(1/8) + (1/8) = (2/8) = (1/4) or 0.25 or 25%

This means that after 3 coin tosses there is a 25% probability that we will get either 3 Heads or 3 Tails.

(A note of interest: It would be an error to ignore the fact that there are TWO valid number combinations which meet the requirements of the question, not one).

(In my analysis above I have identified ONLY the valid-number combinations and spent little time considering non-valid-number combination).

its C because both 5x and 2x have the same x at the end and their both considered like terms. so the answer would be C and if it was to be solved 5x+2x= 7x and 7+7x would be the final answer. since the 7 with no x has no x, it wouldnt have to be solved or simplified

Answers

Patterns can be defined as the sequence or arrangements which numbers follow.

The number of small squares that are in Step 10 is 110 small squares.

From the question,

Step one : • • = 1(2) small squares

Step two : • • • = 3 squares in two layers = 2(3) = 6 small squares

• • •

Step three : • • • • = 4 squares in 3 layers = 3(4) = 12 small squares

• • • •

• • • •

Let the number of steps we are to find be represented by = s

Hence, from the above pattern, the formula is given as:

Number of small squares = n x  (1 + n)

Therefore, using the formula from the pattern, the number of small squares that are in Step 10 is calculated as:

10 x (1 + 10)

= 10 x 11

= 110 small squares.

What is the kinetic energy of a 4 kg cart pushed at a rate of 0.5 m/s?

A. 0.5J

B. 2J

C. 4J

D. 8J​

Answers

Answer:

A. 0.5J

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]K. E._{(cart)} = \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} \\ \\K. E._{(cart)} = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times (0.5)^{2} \\ \\ K. E._{(cart)} = 2 \times 0.25 \\ \\ K. E._{(cart)} = 0.5 \: J[/tex]

The kinetic energy of a 4 kg cart pushed at a rate of 0.5 m/s is 0.5 J.

Kinetic energy = 1 /2 mv²

where

m = mass

v = velocity

Therefore,

m = 4 kg

v = 0.5

Kinetic energy = 1 / 2 × 4 × 0.5²

kinetic energy = 1 / 2 × 4 × 0.25

kinetic energy = 1 / 2 × 1

Answers

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Width of box, W = 5 inches

Width of marker to be stored in box = 1/2 inch

The number of 1/2 inch marker which can be stored in box is :

Width of box ÷ width of marker to be stored in box

5 inches ÷ 1/2 inches

5 / 0.5

Marta has 7 more than half as many books as Lucy. If L is the number of books Lucy has, which expression could be used to find the number of books Marta has?

Answers

Answer: L/2 + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of books that Lucy has = L

Since Marta has 7 more than half as many books as Lucy, the expression that could be used to find the number of books Marta has will be gotten by multiplying the number of books that Marta has by 1/2 and then adding 7 to the value gotten. This will be:

= (1/2 × L) + 7

= L/2 + 7 or 0.5L + 7
