The chance of solving a problem by A and B is and 1/3 and 2/5 respectively. What is the probability the problem will be solved?
a)2/15
b)1
c)9/15
d)11/15
Books shows "c" as the answer.. I am confused.. ​

Answers

Answer 1

We want to compute the probability P(A or B) because we could either solve it following path A, path B, or doing both paths.

P(A) = 1/3

P(B) = 2/5

P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)  assuming A,B are independent

P(A and B) = (1/3)*(2/5)

P(A and B) = 2/15

--------

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

P(A or B) = 1/3 + 2/5 - 2/15

P(A or B) = 5/15 + 6/15 - 2/15

P(A or B) = (5 + 6 - 2)/15

P(A or B) = 9/15

We could reduce this to 3/5, but it appears your teacher has chosen not to.

 Jack is a discus thrower and hopes to make it to the Olympics some day. He has researched the distance (in meters) of each men's gold medal discus throw from the Olympics from 1920 to 1964. Below is the equation of the line of best fit Jack found.
y
=
0.34
x
+
44.63
y=0.34x+44.63
When calculating his line of best fit, Jack let x represent the number of years since 1920 (so x=0 represents 1920 and x=4 represents 1924).
Using the line of best fit, estimate what the distance of the gold medal winning discus throw was in 1980.


44.63 meters

717.83 meters

65.03 meters

71.83 meters

Answers

X would be the number of years between 1920 and 1980:

1980-1920 = 60 years.

Replace x with 60 and solve:

Y = 0.34(60) + 44.63

Y = 20.4 + 44.63

Y = 65.03

Answer: 65.03 meters

Answer:

positive

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can look at the unit circle (see attached photo), We know:

(0,1) = π/2

(-1, 0) = π

(0, -1) = 3π/2

(1, 0) = 0

Across the circle, we know that π/3 is between 0 and π/2. Therefore, as the unit circle line between that is positive in the x direction (cos), we can say that cos(π/3) is positive

Answers

Answer:

x=24

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the following proportion:

[tex]\frac{2}{10}=\frac{3}{x-9}[/tex]

And we want to solve for x.

First, let's reduce [tex]\frac{2}{10}[/tex], as reducing fractions typically makes the process easier

[tex]\frac{2}{10}[/tex] is the same as [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

So:

[tex]\frac{1}{5}=\frac{3}{x-9}[/tex]

We can't do anything to [tex]\frac{3}{x-9}[/tex], but that's okay.

Now we can cross multiply, as this is a proportion

Multiply x-9 by 1 and 3 by 5

1(x-9)=3(5)

Multiply

x-9=15

Now this is an equation

Our goal is to isolate x on one side

So let's add 9 to both sides to remove it from the left side

x-9=15

 +9 +9

_________

x=24

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross multiply:

2(x - 9) = 2x - 18

3(10) = 30

2x-18 = 30

   +18   +18

  2x = 48

Answers

Answer:

9.) y=-2x-4

10.)y=2/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope, different intercepts

9.) The slope is -2x

To find the parallel line

y-(-4)=-2(x-0)

y+4=-2x

y-4=-2x-4

y=-2x-4

10.) You must first put the equation in slope-intercept form.

-2x+2x+3y=2x+12

3y=2x+12

Divide by 3

3y/3=2x/3+12/3

Simplify

y=2/3x+4

Slope = 2/3x

y-2=2/3(x-3)

y-2=2/3x-6/3

y-2=2/3x-2

y-2+2=2/3x-2+2

y=2/3x

it's a optional mathematics Questions please solve him​

Answers

The remainder theorem says that dividing a polynomial f(x) by a 1st-degree polynomial g(x) = x - c leaves a remainder of exactly f(c).

(a) With f(x) = px ³ + 4x - 10 and d(x) = x + 3, we have a remainder of 5, so

f (-3) = p (-3)³ + 4(-3) - 10 = 5

Solve for p :

-27p - 12 - 10 = 5

-27p = 27

p = -1

(b) With f(x) = x + 3x ² - px + 4 and d(x) = x - 2, we have remainder 8, so

f (2) = 2 + 3(2)² - 2p + 4 = 8

-2p = -10

p = 5

(you should make sure that f(x) was written correctly, it's a bit odd that there are two x terms)

(c) f(x) = 2x ³ - 4x ² + 6x - p, d(x) = x - 2, R = f (2) = 18

f (2) = 2(2)³ - 4(2)² + 6(2) - p = 18

12 - p = 18

p = -6

The others are done in the same fashion. You would find

(d) p = 14

(e) p = -4359

(f) p = 10

(g) p = -13/2 … … assuming you meant f(x) = x ⁴ + x ³ + px ² + x + 20

What is quadratic equation?

A quadratic equation is a second-order polynomial equation in a single variable x , ax²+bx+c=0. with a ≠ 0 .

The discriminant of a quadratic equation in standard form, ax² + bx + c = 0, is given by the expression b² - 4ac.

The given equation is -2x² = -8x+8

a = -2, b = 8, and c = -8.

Substituting these values into the formula for the discriminant, we get:

b² - 4ac = (8)² - 4(-2)(-8)

= 64 - 64

= 0

Therefore, the discriminant is equal to 0.

When the discriminant is equal to 0, it means that the quadratic equation has one real number solution (a double root) because the quadratic formula will give only one root.

Hence,  the discriminant is equal to 0, the equation -2x² = -8x + 8 has one real number solution.

width.
• For the other fish tank, he plans to make the length 1 cm less than twice the width and the height 6 times the width.
If y represents the volume of the fish tanks, and x is the width of the fish tanks, which system of equations could represent this
situation?

Answers

Answer:8-8 and 12 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations based on the given information is represented by y = 8x³ - 8x² , y = 12x³ - 6x² .

Let's set up the equations based on the information:

x be the width of the fish tanks (in cm),

y be the volume of the fish tanks (in cubic cm).

For the first fish tank:

Height = 2x - 2 (2 cm less than twice the width)

Length = 4x (4 times the width)

Volume (V) of a rectangular prism = Length × Width × Height

V = (4x) × x × (2x - 2)

V = 4x² × (2x - 2)

V = 8x³ - 8x² (equation 1)

For the second fish tank:

Length = 2x - 1 (1 cm less than twice the width)

Height = 6x (6 times the width)

Volume (V) of the rectangular prism = Length × Width × Height

V = (2x - 1) × x × (6x)

V = (2x² - x) × 6x

V = 12x³ - 6x² (equation 2)

So, the system of equations representing the situation is:

V = 8x³ - 8x²

V = 12x³ - 6x²

Therefore, the correct answer is a system of equations are

y = 8x³ - 8x²

y = 12x³ - 6x²
