Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that Kaitlyn solved is as follows :

-5.4+x=12.2

The steps to solve it as follows :

Step 1. Add 5.4 to both sides,

-5.4+x+5.4=12.2+5.4

Step 2. 5.4 will cancel out as both have opposite signs

x=17.6

But Kaitlyn solved it as :

5.4.x=6.8

She has multiplied -5.4 and x which is wrong. The correct answer is 17.6.

From Tony's seat in the classroom, his eyes are 1.0 m above ground. On the wall 4.2 m away, he can see the top of a blackboard t
Semmy [17]

Answer:

15 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a horizontal segment approximately 4 inches long. Label the right endpoint A and the left endpoint C. Label the length of AC 4.2 meters. That is the horizontal distance between the eye and the blackboard.

At the right endpoint, A, draw a vertical segment going up, approximately 1 inch tall. Label the upper point E, for eye. Label segment EA 1 meter since the eye is 1 meter above ground.

At the left endpoint of the horizontal segment, point C, draw a vertical segment going up approximately 2 inches. Label the upper point B for blackboard. Connect points E and B. Draw one more segment. From point E, draw a horizontal segment to the left until it intersects the vertical segment BC. Label the point of intersection D.

The angle of elevation you want is angle BED.

The length of segment BC is 2.1 meters. The length of segment CD is 1 meter. That means that the length of segment BD is 1.1 meters.

To find the measure of angle BED, we can use the opposite leg and the adjacent leg and the inverse tangent function.

BD = 1.1 m

DE = 4.2 m

tan <BED = opp/adj

tan <BED = 1.1/4.2

m<BED = tan^-1 (1.1/4.2)

m<BED = 15

Answer: 15 degrees

Suppose there is a 20% chance of rain on Monday and a 40% chance of rain on Tuesday. Assuming the weather on successive days is
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

a. 52%

b. 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represents the event of raining on Monday and B represents the event of raining in Tuesday,

Then according to the question,

P(A) = 20% = 0.2,

P(B) = 40% = 0.4,

Here, A and B are independent events,

So, P(A∩B) = P(A) × P(B),

⇒ P(A∩B) = 0.2 × 0.4 = 0.08

We know that,

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

a. The probability it rains on Monday or Tuesday, P(A∪B) = 0.2 + 0.4 - 0.08

= 0.52

= 52%

b. The conditional probability it rains on Tuesday given that it rained on Monday,

P(\frac{B}{A})=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.08}{0.2}=0.4 = 40\%
