We know that
<span>entries------------ > 14 in total.
the owner has----------->  5 horses.

if each horse has the same probability of winning, then the probability that the owner's horses will come in first, second, third, fourth </span>and fifth will be as follows: <span>
we have 5 spots. 

the probability that one of those 5 horses will be first is 5/14
the probability that one of the remaining 4 horses will be second is 4/13.
the probability that one of the remaining 3 horses will be third is 3/12.
</span>the probability that one of the remaining 2 horses will be fourth is 2/11.<span>
the probability that the remaining horse will be fifth is 1/10. 

the total probability is [5/14 * 4/13 *3/12 *2/11 *1/10]
(120/240240)=1/2002=0.0004995

the answer is 0.0004995</span>

The following two sets of parametric functions both represent the same ellipse. Explain the difference between the graphs.

The answer
ellipse main equatin is as follow:

X²/ a²   +  Y²/ b²  =1, where a≠0 and b≠0

for the first equation: <span>x = 3 cos t and y = 8 sin t
</span>we can write <span>x² = 3² cos² t and y² = 8² sin² t
and then  </span>x² /3²= cos² t and y²/8² =  sin² t
therefore,  x² /3²+ y²/8²  =  cos² t + sin² t = 1
equivalent to x² /3²+ y²/8²  = 1

for the second equation, <span>x = 3 cos 4t and y = 8 sin 4t we found
</span>x² /3²+ y²/8²  = cos² 4t + sin² 4t=1

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

40 steps from 2nd to 3rd base

Step-by-step explanation:

18 - 7 + 3 - 5 + 11 = 20, which is halfway, so double that to get to 3rd base.

Fruit juice comes in two types of containers. The first is a rectangular prism that is 9 inches tall and has a rectangular base
My name is Ann [436]

The volume of a rectangular prism:

V_p=Bh\\\\B=wl\\\\w=2\ in;\ l=3\ in;\ h=9\ in

substitute

V_p=2\cdot3\cdot9=54\ in^3

The volume of a cylinder:

V_c=\pi r^2h\\\\r=1.5\ in;\ h=8\ in

substitute:

V_c=\pi\cdot(1.5)^2\cdot8=\pi\cdot2.25\cdot8=18\pi\ in^3\approx18\cdot3.14=56.52\ in^3

Answer: C. The cylinder has the greater volume.
