The coach's predictions cannot be entirely correct because the sum of the probabilities given by the coach does not equal 1. Therefore, the coach's predictions are not consistent with the rules of probability.

The coach's predictions cannot be entirely correct because the sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes must equal 1. In this case, the sum of the probabilities given by the coach is 2/9 + 1/2 + 2/5 = 49/90, which is not equal to 1. Therefore, the coach's predictions are not consistent with the rules of probability.

To justify this, we can add up the probabilities of winning, tying, and losing the next game. The correct probabilities should add up to 1 since these are the only possible outcomes.

If we add these probabilities together: 2/9 + 1/2 + 2/5 = 49/90, which is not equal to 1. Therefore, the coach's predictions cannot be entirely correct.

Answer:A

Step-by-step explanation:

The 8th term of this geometric sequence 5,-10,20,-40 = -640.

A geometric sequence is one in which every number is the product of its previous number and a constant ratio.

The first term is taken as a, the constant ratio is taken as r. The n-th term of such a series is given as aₙ = a.rⁿ⁻¹.

In the question, we are asked to find the 8th term of the geometric sequence 5, -10, 20, -40.

The first term (a) = 5.

The constant ratio (r) = -10/5 = -2.

We will find the 8th term using the formula of the n-th term aₙ = a.rⁿ⁻¹.

Therefore, 8th term = 5(-2)⁸⁻¹ = 5 * (-2)⁷ = 5 * (-128) = -640.

The 8th term of this geometric sequence 5,-10,20,-40 = -640.

The third side of the triangle is AC = 10 centimeters

A triangle is a plane figure or polygon with three sides and three angles.

A Triangle has three vertices and the sum of the interior angles add up to 180°

Let the Triangle be ΔABC , such that

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

The area of the triangle = ( 1/2 ) x Length x Base

For a right angle triangle

From the Pythagoras Theorem , The hypotenuse² = base² + height²

if a² + b² = c² , it is a right triangle

if a² + b² < c² , it is an obtuse triangle

if a² + b² > c² , it is an acute triangle

Given data ,

Let the triangle be represented as ΔABC

Now , the measures of the sides of the triangle are

The measure of side AB = 6 cm

The measure of side BC = 8 cm

Now , For a right angle triangle

From the Pythagoras Theorem , The hypotenuse² = base² + height²

On simplifying , we get

The measure of side AC = √ ( AB )² + ( BC )²

The measure of side AC = √ ( 6 )² + ( 8 )²

The measure of side AC = √ ( 36 + 64 )

The measure of side AC = √ ( 100 )

The measure of side AC = 10 cm

Therefore , the value of AC is 10 cm

When the runner's distance from his friend is same as the distance from the friend to center of the track, the runner is moving in a way that the distance between him and his friend isn't changing. Hence, at those specific moments, their relative speed is zero m/s.

This problem involves the concept of relative velocities in a plane. Since the runner is moving along a circular path with a constant speed of 7 m/s, the runner's speed towards or away from his friend depends on the runner's location on the track. However, when the runner is at a distance of 220 m from his friend (which is also the distance from the friend to the center of the track), the runner is moving perpendicular to the line joining the runner and his friend. This is because, in this particular case, the runner is moving along a tangent to the circle that intersects the friend's location. Therefore, the distance between the friends isn't changing at all during those moments - their relative speed is zero m/s.

The exact values for sinθ, cscθ, and cotθ given the point (-3, -8) are sinθ = -8/√73, cscθ = √73/-8 (because sinθ and cscθ are negative in the third quadrant), and cotθ = 3/8 (positive since sin and cos signs cancel out).

The question involves finding the values of sinθ, cscθ, and cotθ given a point (-3, -8) on the terminal side of an angle θ. To find these values, we first need to determine the radius (r) of the corresponding right triangle formed by the point (-3, -8) and the origin (0, 0). The radius can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem:

r = √((-3)2 + (-8)2) = √(9 + 64) = √73

Using the definitions of the trigonometric functions:

Note that θ is in the third quadrant where both sine and cosine are negative; hence, sinθ and cscθ are negative, while cotθ is positive due to both the numerator and denominator being negative.

Final answer:

The remainder when 5k is divided by 3 is 2. This is because k can be represented as 6n + 1 where n is the quotient, and when 5 is multiplied by k and then divided by 3, after simplifying, only the term +5 contributes to the remainder.

Explanation:

When a positive integer k is divided by 6, the remainder is 1. Thus, we can write k as 6n + 1 where n is a quotient. To find the remainder when 5k is divided by 3, we must first multiply k by 5, resulting in 5(6n + 1) = 30n + 5.

Breaking down 30n + 5, we see that 30n is divisible by 3 since 30 is a multiple of 3. Hence, it will not contribute to the remainder when divided by 3. All that is left to consider is the +5 part. The closest multiple of 3 to 5 is 3 itself, meaning 5 divided by 3 will leave a remainder of 2. Therefore, the remainder when 5k is divided by 3 is 2.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The length and width of the given rectangle are 23 and 20 inches respectively.

Suppose the width of the given rectangle=x inch

So, the length of the given rectangle = x+3 inch

The area of a rectangle with length l and width b is lb.

So, the area of the given rectangle = x(x+3)

Given that area of the rectangle = 460 squared inches

So, x(x+3)=460

[tex]x^{2} +3x=460[/tex]

[tex]x^{2} +x-460=0[/tex]

[tex]x^{2} +23x-20x-460=0[/tex]

[tex]x(x+23)-20(x+23) =0[/tex]

[tex](x+23) (x-20)=0[/tex]

Answer:

Using [tex]|X-a|=b[/tex]

where a is the center or average and b is the distance from the center or the range

Here, v represents the wind speed.

As per the statement:

Minimum sustained wind speed(A)= 74 miles per hour.

Maximum sustained wind speed(B) = 95 miles per hour.

Use the center and distance to write an absolute value equation:

[tex]\text{Center} = \frac{\text{A+B}}{2}[/tex]

we can see that on y - axis  

at  x = 0                value of   y = 3   and

at  x = π/2             value of   y = 5  

rate of change = [tex]\frac{change\ in y-axis}{change\ in\ x-axis}[/tex]

Answer:

9 is a solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The replacement set is the set of values that can be substituted in the equation (for the variables).

Given a replacement set, we need to substitute every value of the set in our equation and see if the equation holds for that value. If it does, then the value is a solution of the equation.

In this problem we have the equation 2w + 2(2w + 3) = 60 and the replacement set is {6,7,8,9}

We are going to start replacing the different values of the set.

[tex]2w + 2(2w + 3) = 60\\2(6) + 2(2(6)+3) = 60\\12 + 2(12+3) = 60\\12 + 2(15) = 60\\12 + 30 \neq 60[/tex]

Thus, 6 is not a solution.

[tex]2w + 2(2w + 3) = 60\\2(7) + 2(2(7) +3) = 60\\14 + 2 (14+3) =60\\14 + 2(17)=60\\14+34=60\\48 \neq 60[/tex]

Thus, 7 is not a solution.

[tex]2w + 2(2w + 3) = 60\\2(8) + 2(2(8)+3) = 60\\16 + 2(16+3)=60\\16 +2 (19) =60\\16 + 38 \neq 54[/tex]

Thus, 8 is not solution.

[tex]2w + 2(2w + 3) = 60\\2(9) + 2(2(9) + 3) =60\\18 + 2 (18+3) =60\\18 +2(21)=60\\60=60[/tex]

Thus, 9 is a solution.
