а
the trash can 3 times and missed 2 times.
Based on these results, how many times
would Scott expect the wad of paper to
land in the trash can if he throws it 60
times?
A. 20
B. 36
C. 40
D. 48

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

36 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5=0.6

2/5=0.4

60*0.6=36

Answer 2

Scott would expect the wad of paper to land in the trash can approximately 36 times out of 60 throws. So, correct option is B.

To calculate the expected number of times the wad of paper would land in the trash can if Scott throws it 60 times, we can use the concept of probability.

Based on the given results, the probability of the wad of paper landing in the trash can is 3 out of 5 times (3 times in the trash can out of a total of 5 throws).

To find the expected number of successful throws (i.e., landing in the trash can) out of 60 throws, we can set up a proportion:

(Probability of success) = (Number of successful throws) / (Total number of throws)

3/5 = x/60

Now, cross-multiply and solve for 'x':

5x = 3 * 60

5x = 180

x = 180 / 5

x = 36

The correct answer is B. 36

This calculation is based on the assumption that the probability remains the same for each throw, which is the case for independent events like tossing a wad of paper.

Cory writes the polynomial x7 3x5 3x 1. Melissa writes the polynomial x7 5x 10. Is there a difference between the degree of the sum and the degree of the difference of the polynomials?.

Answers

Degree of a polynomial gives the highest power of its terms. Yes there is a difference between the degrees of sum and difference of the polynomials.

What is degree of a polynomial?

Degree of a polynomial is the highest power that its terms pertain(for multi-variables, the power of term is addition of power of variables in that term).

Thus, in [tex]x^3 + 3x^2 + 5[/tex], the degree of the polynomial is 3 as the highest power in its terms is 3.

(power and exponent are same thing)

What are like terms?

Those terms which have same variables raised with same powers.

For example, [tex]x^3[/tex] and [tex]3x^3[/tex]  are like terms since variable is same, and it is raised to same power 3.

For example [tex]4x^2[/tex] and [tex]x^3[/tex] are not like terms as the variables are same but powers aren't same.

The given polynomials are:

[tex]c(x) = x^7 + 3x^5 + 3x + 1\\\\p(x) = x^7 + 5x + 10[/tex]

Their sum is

[tex]c(x) + p(x) = x^7 + 3x^5 + 3x + 1 + x^7 + 5x + 10 = (1+1)x^7 + 3x^5 + (3+5)x + 11\\\\c(x) + p(x) = 2x^7 + 3x^5 + 8x + 11[/tex]

(only like terms' coefficients can be added (or subtracted) for addition or subtraction of them )

The sum's degree is 7

Their difference is:

[tex]c(x) - p(x) = x^7 + 3x^5 + 3x + 1 - x^7 -5x - 10 = (1-1)x^7 + 3x^5 +(3-5)x -9\\\\c(x) - p(x) = 3x^5 - 2x - 9[/tex]

Difference's degree is 5

Thus, both's degrees are not same.

Thus, Yes there is a difference between the degrees of sum and difference of the polynomials.

write the equation of this line

Answers

The y intercept is 2, because that is the value of y when it crosses the y axis.

Since the line is pointing down, it has a negative slope, and since the y value goes down 2 for every 3 x values, the slope is -2/3. You should always right the slope in rise/run form, or change in y/change in x.

Finally, write the equation in the form of y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. This means the equation of the line is y=-2/3x+2.

y = 2x + 8 → (1)

y = - 2x → (2)

substitute y = 2x + 8 into (2)

2x + 8 = - 2x ( add 2x to both sides )

4x + 8 = 0 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

4x = - 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )

Carlos uses a food delivery service to order lunch. He paid $13.75 for lunch, which included the cost of the food and a delivery fee, which is 10% of cost of the food. What was the cost of Carlos' lunch before the delivery fee? Enter your answer in the box.

Answers

Answer:

$12.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the cost of the food without the delivery fee.

The delivery fee can be represented as 0.10x.

Keep in mind that the cost of the food plus the delivery fee equals $13.75.

Therefore, your equation will look like: 13.75 = x + 0.10x

x + 0.1x = 1.10x

So, 13.75 = 1.10x

This means that x = 13.75/1.10

x = 12.5 = $12.50

Answer: Let's represent the cost of the food as "x".

We know that the delivery fee is 10% of the cost of the food, so it can be written as 0.1x.

The total cost that Carlos paid for lunch is the sum of the cost of the food and the delivery fee, which is:

Total cost = Cost of food + Delivery fee

$13.75 = x + 0.1x

Simplifying the equation, we get:

$13.75 = 1.1x

Dividing both sides by 1.1, we get:

x = $12.50

Therefore, the cost of Carlos' lunch before the delivery fee was $12.50.
