You want to make five-letter codes that use the letters A, F, E, R, and M without repeating any letter. What is the probability

that a randomly chosen code starts with M and ends with E?

Answer:

The probability that a randomly chosen code starts with M and ends with E is 0.05 ....

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given statement we have to make five letter code from  A, F, E, R, and M without repeating any letter. We have to find that what is probability that a randomly chosen code starts with M and ends with E.

Thus the probability of picking the first letter M = 1/5

After that we require the sequence (not E, not E, not E) which is equal to:

= 3/4 * 2/3* *1/2

= 1/4

Now multiply 1/5 and 1/4

1/5 * 1/4

= 1/20

= 0.05

Therefore the probability that a randomly chosen code starts with M and ends with E is 0.05 ....

A child wanders slowly down a circular staircase from the top of a tower. With x,y,zx,y,z in feet and the origin at the base of
babymother [125]

Answer:

a) The tower is 90 feet tall

b) She reaches the bottom at t = 18 minutes.

c) Her speed at time t is 5 \sqrt[]{5} ft/minute

d) Her acceleration at time t is 10 ft/minute^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the path described by the child as going down the tower to have the following parametrization \gamma(t) = (10\cos t, 10 \sin t, 90-5t)

a) Assuming that the child is at the top of the tower when she starts going down, we have that at the initial time (t=0) we will have the value of the height of the tower. That is z = 90-5*0 = 90 ft.

b) The child reaches the bottom as soon as z =0. We want to find the value of t that does that. Then we have 0 = 90-5t, which gives us t = 18 minutes.

c) Given the parametrization we are given, the velocity of the child at time t is given by \frac{d\gamma}{dt}= (\frac{d}{dt}(10\cos t), \frac{d}{dt} (10 \sin t ), \frac{d}{dt}(90-5t)) = (-10 \sin t, 10 \cos t, -5). The speed is defined as the norm of the velocity vector,

so, the speed at time t is given by v = \sqrt[]{(-10 \sin t)^2+(10 \cos t)^2+(-5)^2} = \sqrt[]{100(\sin^2 t + \cos^2 t)+25} = \sqrt[]{125}= 5 \sqrt[]{5}

d) ON the same fashion we want to know the norm of the second derivative of \gamma.

We have that \gamma ^{''}(t) =(-10\cost t, -10 \sin t , 0) so the acceleration is given by \sqrt[]{100(\cos^2 t+ \sin^2 t )} = 10

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, what is the positive solution to the quadratic equation 0=2x2+3x-8?
Basile [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is

2x^2+3x-8 = 0

To find the roots of the equation. We will apply the general formula for quadratic equations

x = -b ± √b^2 - 4ac]/2a

from the equation,

a = 2

b = 3

c = -8

It becomes

x = [- 3 ± √3^2 - 4(2 × -8)]/2×2

x = - 3 ± √9 - 4(- 16)]/2×2

x = [- 3 ± √9 + 64]/2×2

x = [- 3 ± √73]/4

x = [- 3 ± 8.544]/4

x = (-3 + 8.544) /4 or x = (-3 - 8.544) / 4

x = 5.544/4 or - 11.544/4

x = 1.386 or x = - 2.886

The positive solution is 1.39 rounded up to the nearest hundredth

Which expression is equivalent to StartFraction (3 m Superscript negative 2 Baseline n) Superscript negative 3 Baseline Over 6 m
Dovator [93]

Option a: \frac{m^{5} }{162n} is the equivalent expression.

Explanation:

The expression is \frac{(3m^{-2} n)^{-3}}{6mn^{-2} } where m\neq 0, n\neq 0

Let us simplify the expression, to determine which expression is equivalent from the four options.

Multiplying the powers, we get,

\frac{3^{-3}m^{6} n^{-3}}{6mn^{-2} }

Cancelling the like terms, we have,

\frac{3^{-3}m^{5} n^{-1}}{6 }

This equation can also be written as,

\frac{m^{5}}{3^{3}6 n^{1} }

Multiplying the terms in denominator, we have,

\frac{m^{5} }{162n}

Thus, the expression which is equivalent to \frac{(3m^{-2} n)^{-3}}{6mn^{-2} } is \frac{m^{5} }{162n}

Hence, Option a is the correct answer.
