A box has 14 candies in it: 3 are taffy, 7 are butterscotch, and 4 are caramel. Juan wants to select two candies to eat for dessert. The first candy will be selectedat random, and then the second candy will be selected at random from the remaining candies. What is the probability that the two candies selected are taffy?Do not round your intermediate computations. Round your final answer to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer 1

Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided information we are going to calculate what is the probability that the two candies selected are taffy. So, for this, first we are going to calculate the probability that the first is taffy, and then the probability that the second is taffy. Finally we will multiply these two probabilities to find the total probability.

Remember that the simple probability of an event is equal to favorable events, over possible events.

First is taffy:

At the beginning there are 14 sweets, and 3 are taffy, so there are 3 favorable events and 14 possible, then:

First is taffy=3/14

Second is taffy:

Now, in the bag there are 13 sweets left, and of those 2 are taffy, so now there are 2 favorable events out of 13 possible:

Second is taffy=2/13

The first and second are taffy:

First is taffy*Second is taffy=3/14*2/13

First is taffy*Second is taffy=3/91

First is taffy*Second is taffy=0.033

First is taffy*Second is taffy=3.3%

Finally we obtain that the probability that the two candies selected are taffy is aproximately 0.033 or 3.3%.

determine if the following equations represent a linear function if so write it in standard form Ax+By=C9x+5y=102y+4=6x

Answers

9x + 5y = 10

is a linear equation because all variables are raised to exponent 1.

This equation is already written in standard form (A = 9, B = 5, C = 10)

2y + 4 = 6x​

is a linear equation because all variables are raised to exponent 1.

Subtracting 2y at both sides:

2y + 4 - 2y= 6x​ - 2y

4 = 6x​ - 2y

Answers

There were 1200 respondents:

400 parents wanted soccer offered

370 parents wanted tennis offered

625 parents wanted baseball/softball offered

150 parents wanted soccer and tennis offered

315 parents wanted soccer and baseball/softball offered

230 parents wanted baseball/softball and tennis offered

75 parents wanted all three sports offered

Therefore:

We have to add all the options that were mixed with different sports:

150 + 315 + 230 = 695 - 75= 620 (We subtract 75 because it's already included in the other values as we can see in the diagram)

We have to add all the parents that chose only one sport:

400 + 370 + 625= 1395

We have to subtract 620 from 1395:

1395 - 620= 775 parents who chose any sport

Now:

1200 - 775 = 425 respondents who didn't want any.

Therefore, 425 parents didn't want any of the sports offered.

The answer is D) 425.

Step 1. Find 3g by multiplying g(x) by 3:

[tex]\begin{gathered} g(x)=-x^2+4x \\ 3g=3(-x^2+4x) \end{gathered}[/tex]

Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by the two terms inside the parentheses:

In windy cold weather, the increased rate of heat loss makes the temperature feel colder than the actual temperature. To describe an equivalent temperature that more closely matches how it “feels,” weather reports often give a windchill index, WCI. The WCI is a function of both the temperature F(in degrees Fahrenheit) and the wind speed v (in miles per hour). For wind speeds v between 4 and 45 miles per hour, the WCI is given by the formula(FORMULA SHOWN IN PHOTO)A) What is the WCI for a temperature of 10 F in a wind of 20 miles per hour?B) A weather forecaster claims that a wind of 36 miles per hour has resulted in a WCI of -50 F. What is the actual temperature to the nearest degree?

Answers

Let's remember what the variables mean:

F= temperature (in Fahrenheit),

v= wind speed.

A) The formula "works" when the wind speed is between 4 and 45 miles per hour. The question asks for a wind speed of 20 miles per hour. Then, we can apply the formula. Here,

[tex]\begin{cases}F=10 \\ v=20\end{cases}[/tex]

Then,

[tex]\begin{gathered} WCI(10,20)=91.4-\frac{(10.45+6.69\cdot\sqrt[]{20}-0.447\cdot20)(91.4-10)}{22}\approx\ldots \\ \ldots91.4-116.2857=-24.8857 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Approximating, the answer is

B) This question is just about to find F in the provided equation after replacing the given v and WCI. Let's do that:

[tex]\begin{gathered} -50=91.4-\frac{(10.45+6.69\cdot\sqrt[]{36}-0.447\cdot36)(91.4-F)}{22}, \\ -141.4=-\frac{(10.45+6.69\cdot\sqrt[]{36}-0.447\cdot36)(91.4-F)}{22}, \\ -3110.8=-(10.45+6.69\cdot\sqrt[]{36}-0.447\cdot36)(91.4-F), \\ 3110.8=(10.45+6.69\cdot\sqrt[]{36}-0.447\cdot36)(91.4-F), \\ \frac{3110.8}{10.45+6.69\cdot\sqrt[]{36}-0.447\cdot36}=91.4-F, \\ F=91.4-\frac{3110.8}{10.45+6.69\cdot\sqrt[]{36}-0.447\cdot36}\approx1.2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Suppose the coordinate of p=2 and PQ=8. Whare are the possible midpoints for PQ?

Answers

The midpoint for segment PQ can be calculated as:

[tex]\frac{P+Q}{2}[/tex]

Then, the midpoint of PQ is:

[tex]\frac{2\text{ + Q}}{2}=1+0.5Q[/tex]

Additionally, PQ can be calculated as:

[tex]PQ=\left|Q-P\right|[/tex]

So:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \left|Q-P\right|=8 \\ \left|Q-2\right|=8 \end{gathered}[/tex]

It means that:

[tex]\begin{gathered} Q-2=8\text{ or } \\ 2\text{ - Q = 8} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Solving for Q, we get:

Q = 8 + 2 = 10 or Q = 2 - 8 = -6

Finally, replacing these values on the initial equation for the midpoint, we get:

If Q = 10, then:

midpoint = 1 + 0.5(10) = 1 + 5 = 6

If Q = -6, then:

midpoint = 1 + 0.5(-6) = 1 - 3 = -2

The possible midpoints for PQ are 6 and -2

The equation

We must find the equation that models the amount of medication in the bloodstream as a function of the days passed from the initial dose. The initial dose is a and we are going to use x for the number of days and M for the amount of mediaction in the bloodstream. We are going to model this using an exponential function which means that the variable x must be in the exponent of a power:

[tex]M(x)=a\cdot b^x[/tex]

We are told that the half-life of the medication is 6 hours. This means that after 6 hours the amount of medication in the bloodstream is reduced to a half. If the initial dose was a then the amount after 6 hours has to be a/2. We are going to use this to find the parameter b but first we must convert 6 hours into days since our equation works with days.

Remember that a day is composed of 24 hours so 6 hours is equivalent to 6/24=1/4 day. This means that the amount of medication after 1/4 days is the half of the initial dose. In mathematical terms this means M(1/4)=M(0)/2:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{M(0)}{2}=M(\frac{1}{4}) \\ \frac{a\cdot b^0}{2}=a\cdot b^{\frac{1}{4}} \\ \frac{a}{2}=a\cdot b^{\frac{1}{4}} \end{gathered}[/tex]

We can divide both sides of this equation by a:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{\frac{a}{2}}{a}=\frac{a\cdot b^{\frac{1}{4}}}{a} \\ \frac{1}{2}=b^{\frac{1}{4}} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now let's raised both sides of this equation to 4:

[tex]\begin{gathered} (\frac{1}{2})^4=(b^{\frac{1}{4}})^4 \\ \frac{1}{2^4}=b^{\frac{1}{4}\cdot4} \\ b=\frac{1}{16} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Which can also be written as:

[tex]b=16^{-1}[/tex]

Then the equation that models how much medication will be in the bloodstream after x days is:

[tex]M(x)=a\cdot16^{-x}[/tex]

Using this we must find how much medication will be in the bloodstream after 4 days for an initial dose of 500mg. This basically means that a=500mg, x=4 and we have to find M(4):

[tex]M(4)=500mg\cdot16^{-4}=0.00763mg[/tex]

So after 4 days there are 0.00763 mg of medication in the bloodstream.

Now we have to indicate how much more medication will be if the initial dose is 750mg instead of 500mg. So we take a=750mg and x=4:

[tex]M(4)=750mg\cdot16^{-4}=0.01144mg[/tex]

If we substract the first value we found from this one we obtained the required difference:

[tex]0.01144mg-0.00763mg=0.00381mg[/tex]

So the answer to the third question is 0.00381mg.

No, because 9 + 8 > 17
No, because 8 + 9 = 17

Answers

Answer:

  (d)  No, because 8 + 9 = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know if side lengths 8, 9, and 17 can form a triangle.

Triangle inequality

The triangle inequality requires the sum of the two short sides exceed the length of the longest side. For sides 8, 9, 17, this would require ...

  8 + 9 > 17 . . . . . . . not true; no triangle can be formed

The sum is 8+9 = 17, a value that is not greater than 17. The triangle inequality is not satisfied. So, no triangle can be formed.

The expression with rational denominator is [tex]\frac{(\sqrt 5 - \sqrt{3} + 1)(- 5+2\sqrt 3)}{13}[/tex]

How to rewrite the fraction?

From the question, the fraction is given as

[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt 5 + \sqrt{3} - 1}[/tex]

To rewrite the fraction with a rational denominator, we simply rationalize the fraction

When the fraction is rationalized, we have the following equation

[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt 5 + \sqrt{3} - 1} = \frac{1}{\sqrt 5 + \sqrt{3} - 1} \times \frac{\sqrt 5 - \sqrt{3} + 1}{\sqrt 5 - \sqrt{3} + 1}[/tex]

Evaluate the products in the above equation

So, we have

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

This gives

[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt 5 + \sqrt{3} - 1} = \frac{\sqrt 5 - \sqrt{3} + 1}{5 - 10 - 2\sqrt 3}[/tex]

So, we have

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

Rationalize again

[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt 5 + \sqrt{3} - 1} = \frac{\sqrt 5 - \sqrt{3} + 1}{- 5 - 2\sqrt 3} \times \frac{- 5+2\sqrt 3}{- 5 +2\sqrt 3}[/tex]

This gives

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

So, we have

[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt 5 + \sqrt{3} - 1} = \frac{(\sqrt 5 - \sqrt{3} + 1)(- 5+2\sqrt 3)}{25 -12}[/tex]

Evaluate

[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt 5 + \sqrt{3} - 1} = \frac{(\sqrt 5 - \sqrt{3} + 1)(- 5+2\sqrt 3)}{13}[/tex]

Hence, the expression is [tex]\frac{(\sqrt 5 - \sqrt{3} + 1)(- 5+2\sqrt 3)}{13}[/tex]

9. SAILING The sail on Milton's schooner is the shape of a 30°-60°-90°triangle. The length of the hypotenuse is 45 feet. Find the lengths of thelegs. Round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

The triangle is shown below:

Notice how this is an isosceles triangle.

We can find the lengths of the hypotenuse by using the trigonometric functions:

[tex]\sin \theta=\frac{\text{opp}}{\text{hyp}}[/tex]

Then we have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \sin 45=\frac{21}{hyp} \\ \text{hyp}=\frac{21}{\sin 45} \\ \text{hyp}=29.7 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore the hypotenuse is 29.7 ft.

You go to the pet store with $25. You decide to buy 2 fish for $3.69 each and fish foos for $4.19. Rounded tanks are $11.48 square-shaped tanks are $14.89. Estimate your total cost to find which tank you can can buy. About how much money will you have left?

Answers

Answer: you will only have enough money for the rounded tank, after buying everything you will have 9 cents left

Step-by-step explanation: two $3.69 fish, $4.19 fish food. 2x3.69=7.38+4.19=11.57

25-11.57=13.43

13.43+11.48=24.91

25-24.91=0.09

You need to estimate the prices of the fish and food. I going to round to the whole amount. 3.69= 4.00; 4.19=4.00. 2 fish at 4.00 equals 8.00; plus the 4.00 for food equals 12.00. 25.-12=13.00. You will only have enough to buy the round tank at 11.48.
Even if you add the fish and food together minus the 25. You can still only get the round tank.

(x^3 - 3x^2 - 5x + 39) = (x^2 - 6x + 13)(x + 3). [you can verify this by expanding the brackets]
x + 3 = 0 when x = -3

x^2 - 6x + 13 = 0
x^2 - 6x + 9 + 4 = 0
(x - 3)^2 = -4
This shows x^2 - 6x + 13 = 0 has no real roots
The function only has one real root at x = -3
