Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a1 = -4 = -4/1, a2 = 8/3

r = a2/a1 = (8/3) / (-4/1) = -2/3

the formula :

an = a1. r^(n-1)

so,

an = (-4). (-2/3)^(n-1)

We are asked to find multiple probabilities.

We got to find the number of combinations posible,

Use the combinations formula

[tex]c {}^{n} _r{?} = \frac{(r + n - 1) \: fractorial).}{r \: fractorial(n - 1)fractorial} [/tex]

For math this is read as,

if n choose r,( r+n-1)!/r!(n-1)!.

Where r is how many things we need from and n is the number of things we choose from.

We need 2 things and we have 24 objects to pick from.

So r=2 N equal=24

Which equal

25!/2!(23)!

Which equals

[tex]300[/tex]

So there are 300 possible combinations.

Using

For the 1st question, Since we are given two independent events, we can just multiply the number of good articles by major.

[tex]14 \times 4 = 56[/tex]

So this means the probability is

[tex] \frac{56}{300} = \frac{14}{75} [/tex]

Which is 19%

For the 2nd question, the can multiply the number of minor articles by major articles.

[tex]6 \times 4 = 24[/tex]

So the probability

is

[tex] \frac{24}{300} = \frac{8}{100} = \frac{2}{25} [/tex]

Which is equal to 8%

One bolt of cloth will make shirts for 47 people. How many bolts are needed for 376 people?

Answers

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

the relationship of one "unit" (bolt) of cloth to 47 people makes this number (47 people) also an unit.

to answer the question we need to find out, how many units fit into the target.

how do we do that ? by division.

when we divide a/b, then we are actually asking, how many times does b fit into a.

so, how many bolts are needed for 376 people ?

well, how often does 47 fit into 376 ? how often can we build groups of 47 people out of the 376 ?

the answer

376 / 47 = 8

so, 8 bolts are needed.

Answer:

1 bolts = 47 people

so, 47+47+47+47+47+47+47+47= 376 people

The answer is 8 bolts

Answers

Answer:

It is y = -4x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

General equation of a line:

[tex]y = mx + c[/tex]

For a y-intercept, c :

consider point (2, 1):

y is 1, x is 2 and m is -4

[tex]y = mx + c \\ 1 = (2 \times - 4) + c \\ 1 = - 8 + c \\ c = 1 + 8 \\ c = 9[/tex]

therefore, equation is:

[tex]y = - 4x + 9[/tex]

The complete form of the equation is y = - 4x + 9

The slope intercept form of the line is given as:

y = - 4x + c

Where c = intercept , we need to calculate, c

Take any given value of y and x and substitute into the equation, the solve for c

Take x = 1, y = 5

5 = - 4(1) + c

5 = - 4 + c

Add 4 to both sides

5 + 4 = - 4 + c + 4

9 = c

Hence, the complete form of the equation is y = - 4x + 9

Sasha places an online order. In addition to the price of the item she orders, she pays 5% tax and a flat shipping fee of $15. The total cost of her order is $141. What is the price of the item she orders?

Answers

Answer:

$120

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price is x.

Set the equation and solve for x:

(x + 5%) + 15 = 1411.05x + 15 = 1411.05x = 126x = 126/1.05x = 120

Answer:

$119.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Shipping is typically taken after tax so we can subtract shipping and find the tax.

141 - 15 = 126

126 * 0.05 = 6.3

Now we can subtract to find what she spent on items.

126 - 6.3 = 119.7

A cell phone company $500 for a new phone and $60 for a monthly plan. If C(t) is a rational function that represents the average monthly cost of owning the cell phone, what is the range of the function?
A. R: (0,500)
B. R: (60,560)
C. R: R
C: R: (-infinity, infinity)

HOW DO I SOLVE THIS?!

Answers

The range of a function is the set of possible values that can be obtained from the dependent variable. The range of the function is: [tex]R: (500, \infty)[/tex]

Given that:

[tex]Phone = \$500[/tex]

[tex]Monthly\ Plan = \$60[/tex]

Let the number of months be t. So, the function C(t) is calculated as follows:

[tex]C(t) = Phone + Monthly\ Plan \times t[/tex]

[tex]C(t) = 500 + 60 \times t[/tex]

[tex]C(t) = 500 + 60t[/tex]

The range is calculated as follows:

The smallest possible value of t is 0 i.e. when no monthly subscription is done.

So, we have:

[tex]C(0) = 500 + 60\times 0= 500 + 0 = 500[/tex]

And the highest is [tex]\infty[/tex] i.e. for a large value of t

So, we have:

[tex]C(\infty) = 500 + 60\times \infty= 500 + \infty = \infty[/tex]

Hence, the range of the function is:

[tex]R: (500, \infty)[/tex]

Answers

Answer: (1, 2)

Concept:

There are three general ways to solve systems of equations:

EliminationSubstitutionGraphing

Since the question has specific requirements, we are going to use elimination

Solve:

Given expressions

x + 5y = 11

-x + 4y = 7

Add both equations together to elimination [x] variable

(x + 5y) + (-x + 4y) = 11 + 7

x - x + 5y + 4y = 18

9y = 18

Divide 9 on both sides

9y / 9 = 18 / 9

[tex]\boxed{y=2}[/tex]

Find the x value

x + 5y = 11 ⇔ Given equation

x + 5(2) = 11 ⇔ Substitute values of y

x + 10 = 11 ⇔ Simplify by multiplication

x + 10 - 10 = 11 - 10 ⇔ Subtract 10 on both sides

[tex]\boxed{x=1}[/tex]

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions

Answer:

Stack the two equations and add them together as if they were multi-digit numbers. That will eliminate the x and then you can solve for the y. Knowing y you can then go back and solve for x.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5y = 11

-x + 4y = 7

---------------- "Add" the equations above to get the equation below.

9y = 18

Now you can divide both sides by 9 to see that y is equal to 2.

Now that you know that y = 2 you can substitute y in either of the two original equations. I'll use the first.

x + 5(2)= 11

x + 10 = 11

x = 1
