Alex’s motorcycle didn’t start this morning. He was not sure if it was because of the battery or a damaged starter. If he replac

es the battery, the engine will run with probability 0.7. If he replaces the starter, it will run with probability 0.2. He can try one of these in an hour. I was 85% certain that he would replace the battery. If the engine doesn’t run in an hour, what is the probability that Alex replaced the battery (write it up to second decimal place)?

Four times a number added to 3 times a larger number is 31. Seven subtracted from the larger number is equal to twice the smalle
AnnZ [11017]

Answer:

y = negative four-thirds x + StartFraction 31 Over 3 EndFraction

y = 2 x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denote the smaller number and y denote the larger number.

Part 1

The equation presented indicates that four times some number added to three times a larger number equals 31.

This translates to:

  • 4x + 3y = 31

From here, solving for y yields:

  • 4x + 3y=31 ⇒ 3y= -4x+31 ⇒ y= (-4x+31)/3 = - 4/3x + 31/3

    ⇒  y= - 4/3x + 31/3

This indicates the correct response for this scenario:

y = negative four-thirds x + StartFraction 31 Over 3 EndFraction

Part 2

The statement that seven subtracted from the larger number equals twice the smaller number translates to:

y-7= 2x

Further, solving for y yields:y-7= 2x ⇒

y= 2x+ 7

The correct answer for this equation is:

y = 2 x + 7

The base of a solid oblique pyramid is an equilateral triangle with an edge length of s units. Which expression represents the h
babunello [10344]

Answer:

The height of the triangular pyramid base is represented by s√3/2 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question focuses on calculating the height of the equilateral triangle at the base of the oblique pyramid.

According to the question, the equilateral triangle side has a length of a units.

Let’s review some properties of equilateral triangles:

a. All sides are identical in length, in this case, side s represents all sides.

b. All angles measure the same, at 60 degrees each.

c. Drawing a perpendicular line from the top vertex to the base divides the triangle into two right triangles, which have angles of 60 and 30 degrees, respectively.

To find the height of this triangular base, we can utilize either of the two right-angled triangles.

Recall the angles of 30, 60 and the side length s.

For height h calculation, trigonometric functions will assist us.

The relevant trigonometric relationship involves the sine of the angle (where side length s is the hypotenuse and height h is the opposite side relative to the 60-degree angle).

Thus, we can express this as:

Sine of an angle = opposite side length/hypotenuse length

sin 60 = h/s

Consequently, h = s sin 60.

In surd form, this yields:

sin 60 = √3/2.

Therefore, we find:

h = s * √3/2 = s√3/2 units.

Find a vector parametrization of the ellipse centered at the origin in the xy-plane that has major diameter 8 along the x-axis,
zzz [11052]

Answer:

E(t) = [ 4cos(t), 2 sin(t) ]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the ellipse can be represented as:

 (x² ÷ a² ) + (y² ÷ b² ) = 1    Here, a and b symbolize the semi-major and semi-minor axes.

In this specific instance, we have    x²/16 + y²/ 4 = 1

This expression indicates that it follows the form of (x/a)² + (y/b)² =1

Specifically in our case,    x²/16  + y²/4 = 1, which resembles                 sin²α + cos²α = 1.

By setting x = 4 cos(t), we can proceed to calculate y.

Utilizing the equation x²/16  + y²/4 = 1, we find that:

x²/16  + y²/4 = 1   ⇒    (x²  +  4y²) ÷ 16  = 1

Solving for y yields: (x²  +  4y²)  = 16    ⇒  y²  = ( 16 - x²) ÷4

Substituting x = 4 cos(t) gives us y²  =  (16 - 16cos²(t)) ÷ 4, leading to y = √4 (1 - cos²(t)).

Consequently, we have y = 2 sin(t).

Thus, the vector parameterization of the ellipse can be stated as:

E(t) = [ 4cos(t), 2 sin(t) ]

Find x if a =13 and C = 47 need help
Inessa [11236]

You can utilize the Pythagorean theorem expressed as a^2 + b^2 = c^2... if b is unknown, you can rearrange the formula. Hence, c^2 - a^2 = b^2. Squaring 47 gives 2209 and squaring 13 yields 169... Subtracting gives you 2209-169, which results in 2040. Taking the square root of that yields approximately 45.166359, which can be rounded to 45 or as 45.167 when expressed to two decimal places. I hope this helps!:)
