You have a bag which contains only red and green marbles. In this bag with $x^{2} 5$ marbles total, $x 1$ are red. Also, $x-3$ marbles have a scratch on them. The probability of drawing a red marble from the original bag is equal to that of drawing a marble with a scratch from the marbles left in the bag after twenty scratch-free marbles are taken out of the full bag. How many marbles were originally in the bag?

Answers

Answer 1

The original number of marbles in the bag is 30.

The given parameters are:

[tex]Red = x + 1[/tex]

[tex]Total = x^2 + 5[/tex]

The probability of red is:

[tex]P(Red) = \frac{Red}{Total}[/tex]

[tex]P(Red) = \frac{x+1}{x^2 + 5}[/tex]

When 20 marbles were removed, the marbles left are:

[tex]Marbles =Total - 20[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]Marbles =x^2 + 5 - 20[/tex]

[tex]Marbles =x^2 -15[/tex]

The probability of selecting a scratched marble at this point is:

[tex]P(Scratch) = \frac{Scratch}{Marbles}[/tex]

[tex]P(Scratch) = \frac{x -3}{x^2 - 15}[/tex]

This probability equals the probability of red.

i.e.

[tex]P(Red) = P(Scratch)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\frac{x +1}{x^2 + 5} = \frac{x -3}{x^2 - 15}[/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex](x + 1)(x^2 - 15) = (x - 3)(x^2 + 5)[/tex]

Expand

[tex]x^3 - 15x + x^2 - 15 = x^3 + 5x - 3x^2 - 15[/tex]

Subtract [tex]x^3[/tex] from both sides

[tex]- 15x + x^2 - 15 = 5x - 3x^2 - 15[/tex]

Add 15 to both sides

[tex]- 15x + x^2 = 5x - 3x^2[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]3x^2 + x^2 - 15x - 5x = 0[/tex]

[tex]4x^2 - 20x = 0[/tex]

Divide through by 4

[tex]x^2 - 5x = 0[/tex]

Expand

[tex]x(x - 5) = 0[/tex]

Split

[tex]x = 0[/tex] or [tex]x - 5 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x = 0[/tex] or [tex]x = 5[/tex]

x can't be 0.

So: [tex]x = 5[/tex]

The number of marbles initially is:

[tex]Total = x^2 + 5[/tex]

[tex]Total = 5^2 + 5[/tex]

[tex]Total = 30[/tex]

Hence, the original number of marbles in the bag is 30.

[tex]5x- \dfrac{ \sqrt{ 9 { x }^{ 2 } -6x+1 \phantom{\tiny{!}}} }{ 1-3x }[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

[tex]=5x+1[/tex]          or          [tex]=5x-1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

One is given the following equation:

[tex]5x-\frac{\sqrt{9x^2-6x+1}}{1-3x}[/tex]

The problem asks one to simplify the expression, the first step in solving this equation is to factor the equation.  Rewrite the numerator and denominator of the fraction as the product of two expressions. Remember the factoring patterns:

[tex](a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2[/tex]

[tex]=5x-\frac{\sqrt{9x^2-6x+1}}{1-3x}[/tex]

[tex]=5x-\frac{\sqrt{(3x-1)^2}}{-(3x-1)}[/tex]

Now simplify the numerator. Remember, taking the square root of a squared value is the same as taking the absolute value of the expression,

[tex]=5x-\frac{\sqrt{(3x-1)^2}}{1-3x}[/tex]

[tex]=5x-\frac{|3x-1|}{-(3x-1)}[/tex]

Rewrite the expression without the absolute value sign in the numerator. Remember the general rule for removing the absolute value sign:

[tex]|a-b|\\=a -b[/tex]           or           [tex](-a-b) = b-a[/tex]

[tex]=5x-\frac{|3x-1|}{-(3x-1)}[/tex]

[tex]=5x-\frac{3x-1}{-(3x-1)}[/tex]          or          [tex]=5x-\frac{-(3x-1)}{-(3x-1)}[/tex]

Simplify both expressions, reduce by canceling out common terms in both the numerator and the denominator,

[tex]=5x-\frac{3x-1}{-(3x-1)}[/tex]          or          [tex]=5x-\frac{-(3x-1)}{-(3x-1)}[/tex]

[tex]=5x-(-1)[/tex]          or          [tex]=5x-(1)[/tex]

Simplify further by rewriting the expression without the parenthesis, remember to distribute the sign outside the parenthesis by the terms inside of the parenthesis; note that negative times negative equals positive.

[tex]=5x-(-1)[/tex]          or          [tex]=5x-(1)[/tex]

[tex]=5x+1[/tex]          or          [tex]=5x-1[/tex]

Answers

Answer:  Choice D)  5.2 * 10^7

This value is 52 million.

===================================================

Explanation:

During the first year, the well produced 50,000 quarts of water per week. Since there are 52 weeks in a year, the well produced 52*50,000 = 2,600,000 quarts in total for that first year alone. This is the initial value 'a'.

The common ratio is r = 1 - 0.05 = 0.95

So we have a geometric sequence with starting term a = 2,600,000 and common ratio r = 0.95

Since -1 < r < 1 is true, we can use the infinite geometric series formula as shown below.

S = a/(1 - r)

S = (2,600,000)/(1-0.95)

S = 52,000,000

S = 5.2 * 10^7 which is choice D

Explanation:

Plot (3,-2) on the xy grid. Then draw a vertical line through 1 on the x axis.

Note that the horizontal distance from the point to the line is exactly 2 units. We move 2 units to the left to go from (3,-2) to (1,-2). Then we move another 2 units to the left to arrive at the final destination of (-1, -2)

In short, (3,-2) reflects over the vertical line x = 1 to get to (-1, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

5.3.8 isn't really a legal number... if you meant 5.38 then it would be higher than 2. If you really meant 5.3.8 then I don't know.

Or is this code?

Say you have this: (sorry there's no indentation)

my_float = round(3.3312, 2)

while True:

guess = float(input("Guess my number: "))

if guess > round(my_float, 2):

print ("Too high!")

elif guess < round(my_float, 2):

print ("Too low!")

elif round(guess,2) == round(my_float, 2):

print("Correct!")

break

print("Great job guessing my number!")

You should be able to use the round function just like you do in the if statement. This can be done on a separate line between taking input and the if or it can be done on the same like.

guess = round(guess, 2)

Or:

guess = round(float(input(“Guess my number: “)), 2)

What is the nineteenth term of an arithmetic sequence with first term 9 and common difference 5?

Answers

Answer:

The 19th term is 99.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a direct formula and use it to find the 19th term. Recall that the direct formula for an arithmetic sequence is given by:

[tex]x_n = a + d(n-1)[/tex]

Where a is the initial term and d is the common difference.

Since the first term is 9 and the common difference is 5:

[tex]\displaystyle x _ n = 9+5(n-1)[/tex]

To find the 19th term, let n = 19. Thus:

[tex]x_{19} = 9+5(19-1)[/tex]

And evaluate:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} x_{19} &= 9+5(18) \\ &= 9+90 \\ &= 99\end{aligned}[/tex]

The 19th term is 99.

The midpoint of a segment is ( 6, -6) and one endpoint is (13,-1). Find the coordinates of the other endpoint

Answers

So, the formula for finding the midpoint of a segment given the coordinates of its endpoints is:

((x1+ x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2 {Average of the x coordinates, average of the y coordinates}.

For this problem we know the coordinates of the midpoint along with one of the endpoints.

So the x coordinate of the midpoint (9) must equal (12 + x2)/2.

That is: 9 = (12 + x2)/2 Solve for x2. Follow a similar pattern to find the y coordinate of the unknown endpoint.

Answer:

Slope = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Slope-Formula to find the slope

m = slope

m = change in y/change in x

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Points: (0, 2) (3, 8) where the first point is x1 & y1 and the second point is x2 & y2.

m = (8 - 2)/(3 - 0)

m = 6/3

m = 2
