Answer:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are total of 150 ticket

If the probability to win a raffle is \frac{1}{30}

Probability =\frac{\text{Favorable outvome }}{\text{Total outcome}}

\frac{1}{30}=\frac{\text{no of tickets bought}}{\text{Total no of tickets}}

\frac{1}{30}=\frac{\text{no of tickets bought}}{150}

no of tickets bought=\frac{150}{30}=5

and no of tickets bought=No of friends

Therefore there 5 persons who bought tickets

Equation using the quadratic fromula for 0.05x^2 + 1.1x = 250
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

x=60.56, x=-82.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve using quadratic formula

Formula is

x=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

0.05x^2 + 1.1x = 250

Subtract 250 on both sides

0.05x^2 + 1.1x - 250=0

a= 0.05, b=1.1 , c=-250

Plug in the values in the formula

x=\frac{-1.1+-\sqrt{(1.1)^2-4(0.05)(-250)}}{2(0.05)}

x=\frac{-1.1+-7.156116265}{0.1}

Now make two equations , one with +  and one with -

then we solve for x

x=\frac{-1.1+7.156116265}{0.1}

x=60.56

x=\frac{-1.1-7.156116265}{0.1}

x=-82.56

If f(x)=3x-1 and g(x)=x+5, find (f o g)(x) and (g o f)(x)<br><br> (f o g)(x)=<br><br> (g o f)(x)
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

(f o g)(x)= 3x + 14

(g o f)(x) = 3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

(f o g)(x) = f(g(x)) = f(x + 5) = 3(x + 5) - 1 = 3x + 15 - 1 = 3x + 14

(g o f)(x) = g(f(x)) = g(3x - 1) = 3x - 1 + 5 = 3x + 4

You deposit $2200 Into three separate bank accounts for each pay 3% annual interest. How much interest does each account earn af
Hatshy [7]

The formula to find the amount is

A=P(1+r)^n

Here A = amount

P is the principal

r is the rate

n is the number of years

Then to find the interest we subtract principal from amount.

Interest = A - P

Here

P= 2200, r = 3% = 0.03 , n = 6 years

A = 2200 (1+0.03)^6=2626.92

Hence the interest earned = 2626.92-2200 = $426.92

Now if the total of $2200 was deposited in three banks then each account earns \frac{426.92}{3}= 142.31

Each account earns $142.31

Find two numbers whose sum is 25 and the sum of whose reciprocals is 1/6
Katen [24]

Answer:

10 and 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' and 'y' are the numbers we need to find.

x + y = 25 (two numbers whose sum is 25)

(1/x) + (1/y) = 1/6 (the sum of whose reciprocals is 1/6)

The solutions of the this system of equations are the numbers we need to find.

x = 25 - y

1/(25 - y) + 1/y = 1/6 multiply both sides by 6(25-y)y

6y + 6(25-y) = (25-y)y

6y + 150 - 6y = 25y - (y^2)

y^2 - 25y + 150 = 0 quadratic equation has 2 solutions

y1 = 15

y2 = 10

Thus we have :

First solution: for y = 15, x = 25 - 15 = 10

Second solution: for y = 10, x = 25 - 10 = 15

The first and the second solution are in fact the same one solution we are looking for: the two numbers are 10 and 15 (since the combination 10 and 15 is the same as 15 and 10).
