The total change in the water in the pool after 2 1/2 hours given the rate of leakage is -3 1/8,

<h3>What are fractions?</h3>

A fraction is a non-integer. It is made up of numerators and denominators. A mixed fraction is made up of a whole number and a proper fraction. An example is 2 1/2.

<h3>What is the total change in the water?</h3>

The total change in the water = -1 1/4 x 2 1/2

= -5/4 x 5/2 = -25/8 = -3 1/8

Assume that there are an equal number of births in each month so that the probability is that a person chosen at random was born
NikAS [45]

Answer:

0.2773 = 27.73% probability that at the May celebration, exactly two members of the group have May birthdays

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have a birthday in May, or they do not. The probability of a person having a birthday in May is independent of any other person. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Probability of a person being in May:

May has 31 days in a year of 365. So

p = \frac{31}{365} = 0.0849

Group of 20 friends:

This means that n = 20

What is the probability that at the May celebration, exactly two members of the group have May birthdays?

This is P(X = 2).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.0849)^{2}.(0.9151)^{18} = 0.2773

0.2773 = 27.73% probability that at the May celebration, exactly two members of the group have May birthdays

Lets work backwards, he had $5 after it all, and spent $1.25 on a snack, so we add that to the remainder, which is $6.25. then he spent half of that on whatever stuff he likes, so add $6.25 and $6.25, which is $12.50

Prove algebraically that the straight line with equation x=2y+5 is a tangent to the circle with equation x^2+y^2=5
zmey [24]

Differentiate both sides of the equation of the circle with respect to x, treating y=y(x) as a function of x:

x^2+y^2=5\implies2x+2y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=0\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=-\dfrac xy

This gives the slope of any line tangent to the circle at the point (x,y).

Rewriting the given line in slope-intercept form tells us its slope is

x=2y+5\implies y=\dfrac12x-\dfrac52\implies\mathrm{slope}=\dfrac12

In order for this line to be tangent to the circle, it must intersect the circle at the point (x,y) such that

-\dfrac xy=\dfrac12\implies y=-2x

In the equation of the circle, we have

x^2+(-2x)^2=5x^2=5\implies x=\pm1\implies y=\mp2

If x=-1, then -1=2y+5\implies y=-3\neq2, so we omit this case.

If x=1, then 1=2y+5\implies y=-2, as expected. Therefore x=2y+5 is a tangent line to the circle x^2+y^2=5 at the point (1, -2).
