Answer: A is the right answer .Probability of the book chosen is a biography is $\frac{2}{15}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given graph or pie chart

The number of biography books=4

Total books= Romance books+ Science fiction books+ Biography books+Adventure books =2+14+4+10=30

Let B be the event of choosing a biography book then

Probability of the book chosen is a biography P(B)= $=\frac{biography\ books}{total\ books}=\frac{4}{30}=\frac{2}{15}$

Therefore, Probability of the book chosen is a biography is $\frac{2}{15}$ .

14 science fiction, 2 romance, 4 biography, 10 adventure...total of 30 books

P(biography) = biographies / total books = 4/30 which reduces to 2/15 <=

Use green's theorem to compute the area inside the ellipse x252+y2172=1. use the fact that the area can be written as ∬ddxdy=12∫

Pavel [41]

The area of the ellipse $E$ is given by

$\displaystyle\iint_E\mathrm dA=\iint_E\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy$

To use Green's theorem, which says

$\displaystyle\int_{\partial E}L\,\mathrm dx+M\,\mathrm dy=\iint_E\left(\frac{\partial M}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial L}{\partial y}\right)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy$

( $\partial E$ denotes the boundary of $E$ ), we want to find $M(x,y)$ and $L(x,y)$ such that

$\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial y}=1$

and then we would simply compute the line integral. As the hint suggests, we can pick

$\begin{cases}M(x,y)=\dfrac x2\\\\L(x,y)=-\dfrac y2\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial x}=\dfrac12\\\\\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial y}=-\dfrac12\end{cases}\implies\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial y}=1$

The line integral is then

$\displaystyle\frac12\int_{\partial E}-y\,\mathrm dx+x\,\mathrm dy$

We parameterize the boundary by

$\begin{cases}x(t)=5\cos t\\y(t)=17\sin t\end{cases}$

with $0\le t\le2\pi$ . Then the integral is

$\displaystyle\frac12\int_0^{2\pi}(-17\sin t(-5\sin t)+5\cos t(17\cos t))\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\frac{85}2\int_0^{2\pi}\sin^2t+\cos^2t\,\mathrm dt=\frac{85}2\int_0^{2\pi}\mathrm dt=85\pi$

###

Notice that $x^{2/3}+y^{2/3}=4^{2/3}$ kind of resembles the equation for a circle with radius 4, $x^2+y^2=4^2$ . We can change coordinates to what you might call "pseudo-polar":

$\begin{cases}x(t)=4\cos^3t\\y(t)=4\sin^3t\end{cases}$

which gives

$x(t)^{2/3}+y(t)^{2/3}=(4\cos^3t)^{2/3}+(4\sin^3t)^{2/3}=4^{2/3}(\cos^2t+\sin^2t)=4^{2/3}$

as needed. Then with $0\le t\le2\pi$ , we compute the area via Green's theorem using the same setup as before:

$\displaystyle\iint_E\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=\frac12\int_0^{2\pi}(-4\sin^3t(12\cos^2t(-\sin t))+4\cos^3t(12\sin^2t\cos t))\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle24\int_0^{2\pi}(\sin^4t\cos^2t+\cos^4t\sin^2t)\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle24\int_0^{2\pi}\sin^2t\cos^2t\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle6\int_0^{2\pi}(1-\cos2t)(1+\cos2t)\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle6\int_0^{2\pi}(1-\cos^22t)\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle3\int_0^{2\pi}(1-\cos4t)\,\mathrm dt=6\pi$

What is the value of x? Enter your answer, as a decimal, in the box. x= A right triangle with vertices labeled as A, B, and C. S

____ [38]

x=3.95

Explanation

From the given information we find that the triangle is right angled at C. CB is the base,AC is the height and AB is the hypotenuse.

Given that D is the hypotenuse of the hypotenuse AB.

BC=6

BD=4.2

AD=x

the height and the base of the triangle is given.

Using pythagoras theorem, we can find the hypotenuse AB.

$AB=\sqrt{AC^2+CB^2} \\=\sqrt{5^2+6^2} \\=\sqrt{25+36} \\=\sqrt{61} \\$

D is the midpoint of AB

therefore AD=AB/2= $\sqrt{61}/2$

=3.905

x=3.905 cm
