Answer:
(a^8)/(b^9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Two rules of exponents come into play.
(a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)
a^-b = 1/a^b
__
Applying the first rule, we have ...
(a^3)/(a^-5) × (b^-2)/(b^7) = a^(3 -(-5)) × b^(-2 -7) = a^8 × b^-9
Applying the second rule gives the simplified form ...
= (a^8)/(b^9)
Answer: the rate at which the distance between the boats is increasing is 68 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
The direction of movement of both boats forms a right angle triangle. The distance travelled due south and due east by both boats represents the legs of the triangle. Their distance apart after t hours represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.
Let x represent the length the shorter leg(south) of the right angle triangle.
Let y represent the length the longer leg(east) of the right angle triangle.
Let z represent the hypotenuse.
Applying Pythagoras theorem
Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²
Therefore
z² = x² + y²
To determine the rate at which the distances are changing, we would differentiate with respect to t. It becomes
2zdz/dt = 2xdx/dt + 2ydy/dt- - - -- - -1
One travels south at 32 mi/h and the other travels east at 60 mi/h. It means that
dx/dt = 32
dy/dt = 60
Distance = speed × time
Since t = 0.5 hour, then
x = 32 × 0.5 = 16 miles
y = 60 × 0.5 = 30 miles
z² = 16² + 30² = 256 + 900
z = √1156
z = 34 miles
Substituting these values into equation 1, it becomes
2 × 34 × dz/dt = (2 × 16 × 32) + 2 × 30 × 60
68dz/dt = 1024 + 3600
68dz/dt = 4624
dz/dt = 4624/68
dz/dt = 68 mph
Sales tax = 6% or 6/100.
assuming tax is added onto the item:
total cost function f(x) = price + tax
however, assuming the cost price = sales price - tax, then:
f(x) = sales price - tax
This is not really a business or accounting forum, its a maths forum, so you need to be clearer about business or accounting terms such as total cost, selling price, selling cost.
I have no idea what that is but good luck
Answer:
Explanation:
From the question, we have it that the probability of heads coming up every time or tail coming up every time is 1:7 if the coin is tossed in 4 tosses
What this means is that we have a probability of 1/8 of head showing up and a probability of 7/8 that a tail will show up in each toss of the coin
For four throws, it means all four are heads or all four are tails
If all four are heads, we have the probability of this happening as:
if all four are tails, we have the probability as:
Now, the probability of either heads or all tails after 4 tosses will be:
