There Are Only Red Sweets And Yellow Sweets In A Bag.There Are N Red Sweets In The Bag.There Are 8 Yellow

Answers

Answer 1

Using the probability concept, it is found that since the number of red sweets would be a decimal number, the probability cannot be [tex]\frac{7}{10}[/tex]

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this problem:

In total, there are 8 + n sweets in the bag.Of those, n are red.

The probability of red is:

[tex]p = \frac{n}{n + 8}[/tex]

Supposing [tex]p = \frac{7}{10}[/tex], we solve for n:

[tex]\frac{n}{n + 8} = \frac{7}{10}[/tex]

[tex]10n = 7n + 56[/tex]

[tex]3n = 56[/tex]

[tex]n = \frac{56}{3}[/tex]

[tex]n = 18.67[/tex]

Since the number of red sweets would be a decimal number, the probability cannot be [tex]\frac{7}{10}[/tex]

help ! which of the following are the roots of the given quadratic equation ?

[tex]2 {x}^{2} + 18x + 36 = 0[/tex]
a. 6

b. -6

c. 3

d. -3..​

Answers

Answer:

The roots are {-6, -3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given four possible roots.  To determine whether or not a particular possible root is actually a root, we use synthetic division.  If the remainder is zero, we may conclude that this is actually a root.

Determine whether or not -3 is a root.  Setting up synthetic division, we get

-3  /  2    18     36

              -6    -36

     ---------------------

      2       12     0

Since the remainder is zero, -3 is a root.

Try -6:  Is this a root of 2x + 12?  Setting up synthetic division, we get

-6    /    2     12

                  -12

      ----------------

          2        0

The remainder is again zero, so -6 is also a root of the original equation.

The roots are {-6, -3}

the length of a rectangle is 5 more than twice its width. its perimeter is 70 cm. what is its area? show your solution

Answers

Answer:

[tex]250cm^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

length = 5 + 2w

width = w

P = Sum of all sides

P = 2 * (5 + 2w) + 2w

P = 10 + 4w + 2w

P = 6w + 10

Given Perimeter = 70cm

We substitute

6w + 10 = 70

6w = 70 - 10

6w = 60

w = 60/6

w = 10cm

Since length is 5 + 2w

length = 5 + (2 * 10)

length = 25cm

Area = lw

Area = 25 * 10

Area = [tex]250cm^2[/tex]

Answer:

let

b=x then'

l= 2x+5

Now

p=70

2(l+b)=70

A pair of equations is shown below:

y = 2x − 1
y = 4x − 5

Part A: In your own words, explain how you can solve the pair of equations graphically. Write the slope and y-intercept for each equation that you will plot on the graph to solve the equations. (6 points)

Part B: What is the solution to the pair of equations? (4 points)

Answers

Answer:

part A

y = 2x -1

the slope is 2/1 means it will be up 2 right 1 or down 2 left 1 the slope is positive

the y-int is -1

y = 4x -5

the slope is 4/1 means it will be up 4 right 1 or down 4 left 1 the slope is positive

the y-int is -5

part B  

the solution to this is (2,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Part A:

y = 2x - 1

Slope = 2/1

Y intercept = -1

y = 4x -5

Slope = 4/1

Y intercept = -5

Part B:

x = 2    y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: To solve the pair of equations graphically, we need to plot the 2 lines on a graph, and look at where they intercept. Then we draw a vertical line from the intersection to the x axis and we know what x is equal to. Laslty, we draw another line (horizontal) from the intersetcion to the y axis and we know what y is equal to.

Equation of a line: y = mx + c

where mx is the slope and c is the y intercept

y = 2x - 1

Slope = 2/1 -- 2 divided by 1 because it goes 2 squares up and 1 to the right

y intercept = -1

y = 4x - 5

Slope = 4/1

y intercept = -5

Part B:

Solving for x:

Since we know that y = 2x - 1 but also 4x - 5, then:

2x - 1 = 4x - 5

2x + 4 = 4x

4 = 2x

x = 2

Solving for y:

Since we know that x = 2, we just have to replace it in one of the two equations, let's say y = 2x - 1. This would give us:

y = 2 x 2 - 1

y = 4 - 1

y = 3

Answers

Answer:

B 13/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² + 7x - 15 = 0

First we want to find the two solutions

We can do this by using the quadratic formula

Quadratic formula:

[tex] \frac{- b + or - \sqrt{b {}^{2} - 4(a)(c)} }{2(a)} [/tex]

Where the values of a,b and c are derived from the equation.

The equation is put in ax² + bx + c = 0 form

2x² + 7x - 15 = 0

so a = 2, b = 7 and c = - 15

We now plug these values into the quadratic formula

(-(7) + or - √7² - 4(2)(-15) ) / 2(2)

first solution: -(7) + √7² - 4(2)(-15) ) / 2(2)

remove parenthesis on 7

(-7 + √7² - 4(2)(-15) ) /2(2)

Apply exponents 7²

(-7 + √49 - 4(2)(-15) ) /2(2)

Multiply -4,2 and -15

(-7 + √49 + 120 ) / 2(2)

add 49 and 120

(-7 + √ 169 ) / 2(2)

Take square root of 169

(-7 + 13 ) / 2(2)

add 13 and -7

6/2(2)

multiply 2 and 2

= 6/4

The first solution is 6/4 or 1.5

Now the second solution: -(7) - √7² - 4(2)(-15) ) / 2(2)

For the second solution we basically go through the same steps as for finding the first solution, the only difference is instead of adding -b and √b² - 4(a)(c) we are subtracting.

So we would have ( -7 - 13 ) / 2(2) instead of (-7+13)/2(2)

So second solution: ( -7 - 13 ) / 2(2)

subtract 13 from -7

-20/2(2)

multiply 2 and 2

-20/4

divide

The second solution is -5

Now that we have found the solutions we want to find r - s if r and s are the solutions to the equation and that r > s

The two solutions are 6/4 and -5.

6/4 > -5 so we know that r must equal 6/4 and s must equal -5 because r has to be greater than s

So if r = 6/4 and s = -5

Then r - s = 6/4 - (-5) = 6/4 + 5 = 13/2

So the answer is B. 13/2

The females make up 100 - 60 = 40% of the class.

Females = 40% * x        where x = the class size.

380 = 40/100 * x

Move the decimal point one step to the right (10 has one zero). Move the decimal point two steps to the right (100 has two zeros).

Answers

Answer:

Yes, P(A) = P(A|B)

Step-by-step explanation:

The context of the question is incomplete but I've assumed logically what it might be;

Whether a traveller flies or doesn't fly to their destination is unrelated to whether they home share or not;

Therefore, they are independent;

Independent events are events where the outcome of one event has no effect on the probabilities of the outcomes from a second event;

This can be represented mathematically as: P(A) = P(A|B);

The corollary of this is P(B) = P(B|A);

A common example easily understood would be if you flip a coin, there is a 50% chance of heads and 50% chance of tails;

If I flip and gets a heads first, the probability of getting a heads or tails on the second, third or tenth flip is going to be unchanged, i.e. 50% chance of heads and 50% chance of tails
