Say we have a cable of length n. we select a point (chosen uniformly randomly) along the cable, at which we cut the cable into two pieces. what is the probability that the shorter of the two pieces of the cable is less than 1/3 the size of the longer of the two pieces? explain formally how you derived your answer.

the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

by the trigonometric ratio tangent, tangent equals opposite divided by adjacent.

therefore, tan(50) equals ac/3

multiply each side by 3 to get: ac=3tan(50)

the answer is b.

whaere is the picture

step-by-step explanation:

ending amount = beginning amount / (2^n)

where "n" = number of half-lives (or elapsed time / half-life)

ending amount = 50 mg / (2 ^10 / 5.3)

ending amount = 50 mg / (2 ^ 1.8867924528)

ending amount = 50 m / 3.6981210597

ending amount = 13.5203794557 mg

or about 13.5 mg remain
