There are 10 pens in a box. There are x red pens in the box. All the other pens are blue. Jack takes at random two pens from the box. Find an expression, in terms of x, for the probability that Jack takes one pen of each colour. Give your answer in its simplest form.​

Answers

Answer 1

The probability that one of each color is selected is [tex]\frac{10x - x^2}{45}[/tex]

Probabilities

The probability of an event is the chances of the said event

The given parameters are:

Total  = 10Red = xBlue = 10 - x

Calculating the required probability

The probability that one of each color is selected is calculated as follows:

[tex]P = P(Blue) \times P(Red) + P(Red) \times P(Blue)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P = \frac{10 - x}{10} \times \frac{x}{9} + \frac{x}{10} \times \frac{10 - x}{9}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]P = \frac{x(10 - x)}{90} +\frac{x(10 - x)}{90}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]P = \frac{2x(10 - x)}{90}[/tex]

Simplify the above expression

[tex]P = \frac{x(10 - x)}{45}[/tex]

Expand

[tex]P = \frac{10x - x^2}{45}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that one of each color is selected is [tex]P = \frac{10x - x^2}{45}[/tex]

Find the polynomial function in standard form that has the zeros listed. 1(multiplicity 2), -2(multiplicity 3)​

Answers

Answer:

  f(x) = x⁵ +4x⁴ +x³ -10x² -4x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

If p is a zero, then (x -p) is a factor. The multiplicity of the zero tells you how many times that is a factor (its exponent).

  f(x) = (x -1)²(x +2)³ = (x² -2x +1)(x³ +6x² +12x +8)

  f(x) = x⁵ +4x⁴ +x³ -10x² -4x+8

Additional comment

You can use the distributive property to write out the 12 terms of the product of the two expanded factors, or you can do a little mental arithmetic based on what you know about the exponent of a product term. (It is the sum of the exponents of its factors.)

The mental exercise can be made easier by writing the coefficients of the factors as though they were two cubics. It works well to write them in two rows:

  [tex]\left[\begin{array}{cccc}0&1&-2&1\\1&6&12&8\end{array}\right][/tex]

The columns are in order of decreasing powers of x. A relatively simple and symmetrical pattern of sums of cross products is used to find the coefficients of the final polynomial. Working in order of decreasing exponents, we have ...

coefficient of x^6 = (0)(1) = 0

coefficient of x^5 = (0)(6) +(1)(1) = 1

coefficient of x^4 = (0)(12) +(1)(-2) +(1)(6) = 4

coefficient of x^3 = (0)(8) +(1)(1) +(1)(12) +(6)(-2) = 1

coefficient of x^2 = (1)(8) +(6)(1) +(-2)(12) = -10

coefficient of x^1 = (-2)(8) +(12)(1) = -4

coefficient of x^0 = (1)(8) = 8

Shonda uses a $10 off coupon to purchase a purse at Chic Mart. At the register, she signs up for a credit card which gives her 20% off her total after the coupon. If Shonda’s total was $60.00, what was the original price of the purse?

Answers

Based on the coupon and the discount, we can calculate that the original price of the purse is $85.00

The 20% was applied after the coupon so the price after the coupon was:

= Total price / ( 1 - Discount)

= 60 / ( 1 - 20%)

= $75

The coupon was $10 so before it was attached it the price was:

= Price after coupon + coupon

= 75 + 10

= $85

In conclusion, the original price was $85.

Which numbers between 10 and 99 have digits that differ by 4 and add to 6

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct option is A)

Let a 3-digit number ABC

Case (1)

If A=7, then B  and  C can be any digit but not 7

so, total 9 digits (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9) can replace B and C

Then total such combinations =1(9)(9)=81

Case (2)

If B=7  then A can be any digit but not  0 and 7, because if A=0 it will be a 2-digit number.

And C can be any digit but not 7

Then total combinations =(8)(1)(9)=72

Case (3)

If C=7  then A can be any digit but not 0 and 7, because if A=0 it will be a 2-digit number.

And B can be any digit but not 7

Then total combinations =(8)(9)(1)=72

So, total numbers between 99 and 1000 which have exactly one of their digits as 7 are =81+72+72=225

A side length of a regular nonagon is an integer. The perimeter of the nonagon is 80
when rounded to the nearest ten. Determine the integer side length.

Answers

If the side length is n, then the perimeter is 9n. The closest multiple of 9 to 80 is 81, so n = 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

A nonagon is a shape with 9 sides. A regular shape means that all angles and sides of the shape is equal. That means let call the side of the nonagon, n. That means the perimeter which is 80, which means all side, n will add up.

[tex]n + n + n + n + n + n + n + n + n = 80[/tex]

or

[tex]9n = 80[/tex]

Solve for n

[tex]n = \frac{80}{9} [/tex]

This rounded would make our interger side, 9

The ratio between an exterior angle and the interior angle of a regular polygon is 1: 3. Find the number of sides of that polygon. Please help D:

Answers

Answer:

8 sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of each of the interior and exterior angles = 180 degrees.

Therefore as the ratio is 1:3 the exterior angles are all = 1/4 * 180

= 45 degrees.

So the number of sides = 360/45 = 8.  ( As the sum of the exterior angles in all polygons = 360 degrees).

The statue of liberty casts a 122 foot shadow at the same time ryan casts a 2 foot shadow. If the statue of liberty is 305 feet tall how tall is ryan?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

2 objects and their shadows create 2 similar right-angled triangles.

that means all angles are the same, and the side lengths of one triangle correlate to the corresponding side lengths of the other triangle via the same factor.

so,

122 × f = 2

f = 2/122 = 1/61

therefore, Ryan is

305 × f = 305 × 1/61 = 5 ft

tall.

If the Statue of Liberty is 305 feet tall, Ryan is 5 feet tall.

What is proportion?

A mathematical comparison of two numbers is called a proportion. According to proportion, two sets of provided numbers are said to be directly proportional to one another if they increase or decrease in the same ratio.

Given that,

The length of shadow of Statue of Liberty = 122 foot.

The length of shadow of Ryan = 2 foot.

Also, the height of Statue of Liberty = 305 feet.

Let the height of Ryan = x

To find the value of x,

Use ratio and proportion method,

122 / 305 = 2 / x

x = 2 x 305 / 122

x = 305 / 61

x = 5

The height of Ryan is 5 feet.

Use the tree diagram to determine the probability that a person with the flu is a person who received a flu shot.
Enter your answer as a decimal to the ten thousandths place.

Answers

Using conditional probability, it is found that there is a 0.1165 = 11.65% probability that a person with the flu is a person who received a flu shot.

Conditional Probability

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened. [tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening. P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this problem:

Event A: Person has the flu.Event B: Person got the flu shot.

The percentages associated with getting the flu are:

20% of 30%(got the shot).65% of 70%(did not get the shot).

Hence:

[tex]P(A) = 0.2(0.3) + 0.65(0.7) = 0.515[/tex]

The probability of both having the flu and getting the shot is:

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.2(0.3) = 0.06[/tex]

Hence, the conditional probability is:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.06}{0.515} = 0.1165[/tex]

I need help with numbers 17 and 18.

Answers

Answer:

  17.  D

  18.  C

Step-by-step explanation:

For both of these questions, you only need a general understanding of what rotation, translation, and dilation do. That is sufficient to let you choose the correct answer.

17.

The coordinates of Y are both negative, so it is a point in quadrant III on the graph. Rotating a point in quadrant III 270° clockwise will rotate it through quadrants II and I to quadrant IV, where it will be to the right and below the origin. Translation 9 units right and 5 units down will put it farther to the right and farther below the origin, still in quadrant IV.

As you know, translation right 9 units adds 9 to the x-coordinate. Translation down 5 units subtracts 5 from the y-coordinate. That means the coordinates of Y' must have x > 9 and y < -5. There is only one answer choice like that:

  D.  Y'(11, -8)

__

18.

Dilation about the origin multiplies each coordinate by the scale factor. It does not change the quadrant of a point on the graph. The original coordinates of R are (negative, positive), so it is in quadrant II. The dilated point will still be in quadrant II, but will be closer to the origin. Both coordinate values will change.

  R' = (1/3)R = (1/3)(-2, 3) = (-2/3, 3/3)

  R' = (-2/3, 1) . . . . . matches choice C
