3.18 steph curry is a 91ree-throw shooter. he decides to shoot free throws until his first miss. what is the probability that he shoots exactly 20 free throws (including the one he misses)

Answer:

Option 2 is better (pls give brainliest lol!)

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which is a better deal, we can compare the cost per mango for each option.

Option 1: $5.00 for 4 mangoes

Cost per mango = $5.00/4 = $1.25

Option 2: $6.00 for 5 mangoes

Cost per mango = $6.00/5 = $1.20

Based on the calculations, we can see that Option 2 has a lower cost per mango, making it the better deal. Therefore, buying 5 mangoes for $6.00 is a better deal than buying 4 mangoes for $5.00.

The limit of the function is Lim (x y) - (2,0) [1-cos y / 2xy] is 0.

Evaluate the given limit using the L'Hôpital's Rule, as it is a useful method when dealing with indeterminate forms like 0/0.

The given limit is:

lim (x y) - (2,0) [(1 - cos y) / (2xy)]

Step 1 :- First, we need to check if the limit is in indeterminate form:

As y approaches 0:
1 - cos y approaches 1 - cos(0) = 1 - 1 = 0
2xy approaches 2 * 0 * 0 = 0

So, the limit is in the form 0/0, which is indeterminate.

Step 2:-Now apply L'Hôpital's Rule:

We need to find the derivative of the numerator and the derivative of the denominator with respect to y.

d(1 - cos y)/dy = sin y
d(2xy)/dy = 2x (since x is treated as a constant)

Now, we'll find the limit of the ratio of the derivatives:

Lim (x y) - (2,0) [1-cos y / 2xy]

Step 3:- Substitute the value of the limit, as y approaches 0, sin y approaches sin (0) = 0.

Thus, the limit is:

0 / (2x) = 0

So, the answer is:

Lim (x y) - (2,0) [(1 - cos y) / (2xy)] = 0

The sequence converges to 0.

We have the sequence given by:

an = (8n^2)/(9n^2 + n + 8)

As n approaches infinity, the highest order terms in the numerator and denominator are both n^2. So we can apply the ratio test to check for convergence:

lim{n -> ∞} |(an+1/an)|

= lim{n -> ∞} |[(8(n+1)^2)/ (9(n+1)^2 + (n+1) + 8)] * [(9n^2 + n + 8)/(8n^2)]|

= lim{n -> ∞} |(8(n+1)^2)/ (9(n+1)^2 + (n+1) + 8)] * |[(9n^2 + n + 8)/(8n^2)]|

= lim{n -> ∞} |(8n^2 + 16n + 8)/ (9n^2 + 18n + 9)] * |[(9n^2 + n + 8)/(8n^2)]|

= lim{n -> ∞} |(8n^2 + 16n + 8)/ (9n^2 + 18n + 9)]| * |[(9n^2 + n + 8)/(8n^2)]|

= lim{n -> ∞} |(8/n^2 + 16/n + 8/n^2)/ (9 + 18/n + 9/n^2)]| * |[9 + 1/n + 8/n^2]/8|

= (8/9) * (9/8) = 1

Since the limit is equal to 1, the ratio test is inconclusive, and we cannot determine convergence or divergence of the series using this test.

Next, we can try the limit comparison test with a known convergent series:

Let's choose bn = 1/n^2.

lim{n -> ∞} an/bn = lim{n -> ∞} [(8n^2)/(9n^2 + n + 8)] * n^2

= lim{n -> ∞} (8n^4)/(9n^4 + n^3 + 8n^2)

= lim{n -> ∞} (8/(9 + (1/n) + (8/n^2)))

= 8/9

Since the limit is a finite positive number, and the series bn = 1/n^2 is convergent (by the p-series test), we conclude that the given series an is also convergent.

To find the limit, we can use the fact that the limit of a convergent sequence is unique. So we can take the limit as n approaches infinity in the original sequence to find its limit:

lim{n -> ∞} (8n^2)/(9n^2 + n + 8)

= lim{n -> ∞} (8/n^2)/(9 + 1/n + 8/n^2)

= 0/9

= 0

Therefore, the sequence converges to 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the perimeter u add all the sides together

top missing side= 10feet

right missing side= 19feet

perimeter= 28+20+10+9+10+19

perimeter= 96 feet

area= 20×19=380

9×10=90

area=380+90

area=470 feet^2

Answer: Top box : 10 Ft. , Side box: 21 Ft. , Area: 510 Ft^2, Perimeter: 98 Ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

- Think about it as two shapes. A smaller rectangle that the sheep is in and a larger one with the rest of the pen. Doing this visually will help.

Top box:

20-10 = 10

- We minus 10 feet from 200 because we are dealing with the 'smaller' shape first, to find the length of its missing side we must subtract the known lengths; we removed the excess.

Side box:

28-9=21

- We do this because 28 Ft was a whole length from end to end when we only need the bigger shape, hence we remove the excess which is 9 Ft.

Area:

-Now we know all our lengths, deal with the two self-allocated 'shapes' as you would normally.

10 x 9 = 90. (Smaller shape.)

20 x 21 = 420. (Larger shape.)

- Then we add them to find the area of the WHOLE shape combined.

90 + 420 = 410 FT²

Perimeter:

- Once again, we know all our lengths and simply add them all together.

10 + 28 + 20 + 21 + 10 + 9 = 98 FT

The area of the region under the graph of f(x) = 4 cos(x) on [0, 2] is 4 sin(2).

To apply the substitution u = 4x + a to the integral sin (4x + 1) dx, we need to solve for x in terms of u:

u = 4x + a
x = (u - a)/4

Now we can substitute in the new limits of integration:

When x = lower limit, u = 4x + a = 4(lower limit) + a
When x = upper limit, u = 4x + a = 4(upper limit) + a

So the new limits of integration are:

lower limit = (u - a)/4 | when x = lower limit
upper limit = (u - a)/4 | when x = upper limit

For the second part of the question, we can use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part I, which states that if f is continuous on [a, b] and F is an antiderivative of f on [a, b], then:

∫ from a to b of f(x) dx = F(b) - F(a)

Here, our function is f(x) = 4 cos(x) and its antiderivative is F(x) = 4 sin(x). So we have:

A = ∫ from 0 to 2 of 4 cos(x) dx = 4 sin(2) - 4 sin(0) = 4(sin(2) - sin(0)) = 4 sin(2)

The answer choices that correspond to the angle measures of the triangle are:   C. 51°, D. 54°, E. 64°

A geometric shape known as an angle is created when two rays or lines meet at a point known as the vertex.

Angles can be acute, right, obtuse, straight, or reflex depending on their size.

To find the angle measures of the triangle, we need to add up the three given angles and set the sum equal to 180 degrees, as the sum of the angles of triangle is always 180 degrees:

13x + (4x + 7) + (5x + 9) = 180

Simplifying and solving for x, we get:

22x + 16 = 180

22x = 164

x = 7.45

Now we can substitute this value of x into each angle measure to find their values:

13x = 13(7.45) = 96.85°

4x + 7 = 4(7.45) + 7 = 36.8°

5x + 9 = 5(7.45) + 9 = 44.25°

So the three angle measures of the triangle are approximately 96.85°, 36.8°, and 44.25°.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D be the vertex of the cube on face ABC.

Since the opposite vertex of the cube is at O, we have OD = 1.

Let the side length of the cube be x.

Consider triangle AOB.

AB² = AO² + OB² = 1 + 1 = 2

Similarly, find that BC² = AC² = 2.

Since ABC is a right triangle with angles A, B, and C being 90° -

sin A = BC / AB = √2 / 2

sin B = AC / AB = √2 / 2

sin C = BC / AC = 1

Consider tetrahedron ABCO. Since AOB, AOC, and BOC are right angles -

∠AOCB = π - ∠AOC - ∠BOC = π/2

∠AOBC = π - ∠AOB - ∠BOC = π/2

∠ABCO = π - ∠AOC - ∠AOB = π/2

So triangles AOC, AOB, and BOC are all right triangles with hypotenuse 1 and angles A, B, and C, respectively.

Using the sine rule -

sin AOC = AO / OC = 1

sin AOB = sin BOC = BO / OC = 1

Therefore, the areas of triangles AOC, AOB, and BOC are -

Area(AOC) = (1/2) × AO × OC × sin AOC = (1/2) × 1 × 1 × 1 = 1/2

Area(AOB) = Area(BOC) = (1/2) × BO × OC × sin AOB = (1/2) × 1 × 1 × 1 = 1/2

Now, consider triangle AOD.

sin AOD = sin(180° - AOB - AOC) = sin(BOC) = √2 / 2

Using the sine rule -

AD / sin AOD = OD / sin OAD

AD / (√2 / 2) = 1 / x

AD = (√2 / 2) * (1 / x)

The area of triangle AOD is -

Area(AOD) = (1/2) × AD × OD × sin AOD = (1/2) × (√2 / 2) × (1 / x) × 1 × (√2 / 2) = 1 / (2x²)

Now, consider the tetrahedron ABCO.

The volume of the tetrahedron is -

V = (1/3) × Area(ABC) × OD = (1/3) × (√3 / 4) × 1 = √3 / 12

The volume of the cube is -

V = x³

Since the cube is inscribed in the tetrahedron -

√3 / 12 = x³

So, now there is -

x = 1/3

Therefore, the side length of the cube is 1/3, as required.

What is coefficient?

In mathematics, a coefficient is a numerical or constant factor that is applied to a variable or term. Coefficients are used in various mathematical contexts, including algebra, calculus, and statistics.

Since the first derivative of f(x) is [tex]f'(x) = -1/(x^2 * \sqrt{(x^2 - 1)})[/tex], we have f'(1) = -1/0, which is undefined. Hence, we cannot use the Taylor series formula for f(x) centered at 1 directly.

However, we are given that [tex]f^{(k)}(1) = -k!/(2^k)[/tex] for k > 1. Using this information, we can write the Taylor series formula for f(x) centered at 1 as:

[tex]f(x) = f(1) + f'(1)(x - 1) + (1/2!)f''(1)(x - 1)^2[/tex][tex]+$\sum_{k=2}^{\infty} \frac{1}{k!}f^{(k)}(1)(x-1)^k$[/tex]

Substituting f(1) = 1/2 and f'(1) = -1/2, we get:

[tex]$f(x) = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2}(x-1) + \frac{1}{2!} \left(-\frac{2}{2^2}\right) (x-1)^2 + \sum_{k=2}^{\infty} \frac{1}{k!} \left(-\frac{k!}{2^k}\right) (x-1)^k$[/tex]

Simplifying the expression, we get:

[tex]$f(x) = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2}(x-1) - \frac{1}{4}(x-1)^2 + \sum_{k=2}^{\infty} \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)(x-1)^k$[/tex]

log₂(7) + log₂(8) is equal to log₂(56).

Logarithmic is a mathematical concept that is used to describe the relationship between a number and its exponent. In particular, a logarithm is the power to which a base must be raised to produce a given number. For example, if we have a base of 2 and a number of 8, the logarithm (base 2) of 8 is 3, since 2 raised to the power of 3 equals 8.

Logarithmic functions are commonly used in mathematics, science, and engineering to describe exponential growth and decay, as well as to solve various types of equations. They are particularly useful in dealing with large numbers, as logarithms allow us to express very large or very small numbers in a more manageable way.

The logarithmic function is typically denoted as log(base a) x, where a is the base and x is the number whose logarithm is being taken. There are several different bases that are commonly used, including base 10 (common logarithm), base e (natural logarithm), and base 2 (binary logarithm). The properties of logarithmic functions, including rules for combining and simplifying logarithmic expressions, are well-defined and widely used in mathematics and other fields.

We can use the logarithmic rule that states that the sum of the logarithms of two numbers is equal to the logarithm of the product of the two numbers. That is,

log₂(7) + log₂(8) = log₂(7 × 8)

Now we can simplify the product of 7 and 8 to get:

log₂(7) + log₂(8) = log₂(56)

x⁴(dy/dx) - 4y³dy/dx) + 2xy(dy/dx) = y² - 4x³ * xy

Next, we factor out dy/dx:

dy/dx (x⁴ - 4y³ + 2xy) = y² - 4x³ * xy

Finally, we'll divide both sides by the expression in parentheses to isolate dy/dx:

dy/dx = (y² - 4x³ * xy) / (x⁴ - 4y³ + 2xy)

This is the expression for dy/dx.

Find dy dx : x 4 xy − y4 = x y 2 dy dx =

For an exponential function of the form y = ab^x, where a > 0, the value of b determines whether the function is increasing or decreasing.

If b > 1, then the function is increasing, because as x increases, the value of b^x also increases, causing y to increase.

If 0 < b < 1, then the function is decreasing, because as x increases, the value of b^x decreases, causing y to decrease.

If b = 1, then the function is constant, because b^x = 1 for all values of x.

Therefore, to find values of b that result in a decreasing function, we need to find values of b such that 0 < b < 1.

Using Gaussian elimination, the complete solution to the system of equations is (w, x, y, z) = (-8/19, 54/95, 39/19, 0).

To solve the system of equations using Gaussian elimination, we first write the augmented matrix:

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}1 & -4 & -1 & | & -5 \\0 & 5 & -2 & | & 5 \\0 & 9 & 1 & | & 6 \\0 & 1 & -2 & | & 1 \\\end{bmatrix}$$[/tex]

Next, we perform row operations to reduce the matrix to row echelon form:

R2 = R2 - R1:

[tex]\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -4 & -1 & -5 & \big| & -21 \\ 0 & 5 & -2 & 5 & \big| & 6 \\ 1 & 5 & 0 & 1 & \big| & 23 \\ 0 & 1 & -2 & 1 & \big| & 6 \end{bmatrix}[/tex]

R3 = R3 - R1:

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}1 & -4 & -1 & -5 & | & -21 \\0 & 5 & -2 & 5 & | & 6 \\0 & 9 & 1 & 6 & | & 44 \\0 & 1 & -2 & 1 & | & 6 \\\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

R3 = R3 - 9R2:

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}1 & -4 & -1 & -5 & | & -21 \\0 & 5 & -2 & 5 & | & 6 \\0 & 0 & 19 & -39 & | & -14 \\0 & 1 & -2 & 1 & | & 6\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

R4 = R4 - R2:

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}1 & -4 & -1 & -5 \\0 & 5 & -2 & 5 \\0 & 0 & 19 & -39 \\0 & 0 & 0 & -4\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Now we have the row echelon form of the augmented matrix, and we can solve for the variables using back substitution. From the last row, we have -4z = 0, so z = 0.

Substituting this into the third row, we get 19y = 39, or y = 39/19. Substituting these values into the second row, we get 5x - 10(39/19) = 6, or x = 54/95. Finally, substituting all three values into the first row, we get w = -8/19.

Answer:

The number of different committees can be  formed = 55.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bortle Manufacturing Group needs to produce 47,750 units per month to meet their sales forecast and maintain the desired inventory level, based on the given information.

To estimate the production level for the coming year Bortle Manufacturing Group needs to consider the sales forecast and the company policy regarding inventory levels.

The sales forecast for the coming year is 576,000 units, and the company policy is to maintain a finished goods inventory of one and one-half month's unit sales.
Based on this information, we can calculate the desired finished goods inventory level as follows:
Desired inventory level = (1.5 x monthly unit sales)
= (1.5 x 576,000 units / 12 months)
= 72,000 units
Next, we need to calculate the total units needed to meet the sales forecast and maintain the desired inventory level:
Total units needed = sales forecast + desired inventory level - beginning inventory
= 576,000 units + 72,000 units - 75,000 units
= 573,000 units
Since sales occur uniformly throughout the year the production level required to meet these objectives would be:
Production level = total units needed / 12 months
= 573,000 units / 12 months
= 47,750 units per month

This table shows the distance remaining for the train at each hour of its journey.

Compare this table to Tasha's table to see if her values are correct.

If they differ, then her table is incorrect and you can use the table I provided as the correct one.

First, let's analyze the given information:
- Total trip distance: 240 miles
- Train's average speed: 40 miles per hour (including stops)
To find the time it takes to complete the trip, we can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Speed.
Time = 240 miles / 40 miles per hour = 6 hours
Now, Tasha wants to create a table to model how far the train is from its destination.

I will create a correct table for you and then you can compare it with Tasha's table to determine if her values are correct or not.

Okay, let's evaluate the upper and lower sums for this function with n = 8 intervals:

1) Find the interval size: = /n = /8 =

2) Evaluate the function at the endpoints of 8 intervals:

f(0) = 2 + sin(0) = 2

f() = 2 + sin() = 3

f(/8) = 2 + sin(/8)

f(2/8) = 2 + sin(2/8)

f(3/8) = 2 + sin(3/8)

f(4/8) = 2 + sin(4/8)

f(5/8) = 2 + sin(5/8)

f(6/8) = 2 + sin(6/8)

f(7/8) = 2 + sin(7/8)

3) Upper sum:

U = 2 + (2 + 3)/2 + (2 + 2 + sin(2/8))/2 + (2 + 2 + sin(3/8) + sin(4/8))/2 + (2 + 2 + sin(5/8) + sin(6/8) + sin(7/8))/2

= 14 + 1.79 + 2.5 + 3 + 3.5 = 24.79

4) Lower sum:

L = 2 + (2 + 2)/2 + (2 + 2 + 2)/2 + (2 + 2 + 2 + 2)/2 + (2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 3)/2

= 14 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 4 = 24

So the upper sum is 24.79 and the lower sum is 24.

The least-square equation for the given (x,y) data pairs is: y = 0.9048x + 0.6190

To find the least-square equation for the given (x,y) data pairs, we can use the method of linear regression. The equation of a line is given by:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The values of m and b can be calculated using the following formulas:

m = (nΣ(xy) - ΣxΣy) / (nΣ(x^2) - (Σx)^2)

b = (Σy - mΣx) / n

where n is the number of data points.

Using the given data, we can calculate the values of Σx, Σy, Σxy, and Σ(x^2) as follows:

Σx = 2 + 1 + 5 = 8

Σy = 4 + 3 + 8 = 15

Σxy = (24) + (13) + (5*8) = 42

Σ(x^2) = (2^2) + (1^2) + (5^2) = 30

Substituting these values into the formulas for m and b, we get:

m = ((342) - (815)) / ((330) - (8^2)) ≈ 0.9048

b = (15 - (0.90488)) / 3 ≈ 0.6190

Therefore, the least-square equation for the given data is:

y = 0.9048x + 0.6190

Rounded to four digits after the decimal, the equation becomes:

y = 0.9048x + 0.6190
