Let x be unknown number. If number x is multiplied by $-\dfrac{2}{3}$ and the product is equal to $\dfrac{3}{4},$ then

$x\cdot \left(-\dfrac{2}{3}\right)=\dfrac{3}{4}.$

To find x you should divide $\dfrac{3}{4}$ by $-\dfrac{2}{3}:$

$x=\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{4}}{-\dfrac{2}{3}}=\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot \left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)=-\dfrac{3\cdot 3}{4\cdot 2}=-\dfrac{9}{8}.$

Answer: $x=-\dfrac{9}{8}$

The length, l cm, of a simple pendulum is directly proportional to the square of its period (time taken to complete one oscillat

Greeley [361]

Answer:

1) $L \propto T^2$

Using the condition given:

$2.205 m = K (3)^2$

$K = 0.245 \approx \frac{g}{4\pi^2}$

So then if we want to create an equation we need to do this:

$L = K T^2$

With K a constant. For this case the period of a pendulumn is given by this general expression:

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

Where L is the length in m and g the gravity $g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}$ .

2) $T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

If we square both sides of the equation we got:

$T^2 = 4 \pi^2 \frac{L}{g}$

And solving for L we got:

$L = \frac{g T^2}{4 \pi^2}$

Replacing we got:

$L =\frac{9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} (5s)^2}{4 \pi^2} = 6.206m$

3) $T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.98m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}}}= 1.987 s$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1

For this case we know the following info: The length, l cm, of a simple pendulum is directly proportional to the square of its period (time taken to complete one oscillation), T seconds.

$L \propto T^2$

Using the condition given:

$2.205 m = K (3)^2$

$K = 0.245 \approx \frac{g}{4\pi^2}$

So then if we want to create an equation we need to do this:

$L = K T^2$

With K a constant. For this case the period of a pendulumn is given by this general expression:

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

Where L is the length in m and g the gravity $g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}$ .

Part 2

For this case using the function in part a we got:

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

If we square both sides of the equation we got:

$T^2 = 4 \pi^2 \frac{L}{g}$

And solving for L we got:

$L = \frac{g T^2}{4 \pi^2}$

Replacing we got:

$L =\frac{9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} (5s)^2}{4 \pi^2} = 6.206m$

Part 3

For this case using the function in part a we got:

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

Replacing we got:

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.98m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}}}= 1.987 s$

The multiplication law is potentially helpful when we are interested in computing the probability of a. mutually exclusive event

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

b ) the intersection of two events

Step-by-step explanation:

Gary and Steve are both hosting . There are 50 buttons total, 15 buttons are blue and 27 buttons are red. Gary puts all of the buttons into a bag. Steve and Gary both want to wear red buttons.What is the probability ? To solve this problem, you need to understand the Multiplication Rule of Probability.This probability means to find the probability of the intersection of two events, multiply the two probabilities.

Probability of two events occurring that is called intersection of two events. There are two different set of events , called independent and dependent events.

Independent events event is not affected by a previous event.

A dependent event is when one event influences the outcome of another event . To find the intersection of two events, whether they are independent or dependent, multiply the two probabilities together.
