Answer:

About 41.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Given:</em>

<em>A bowl has 8 green grapes and 15 red grapes. Henry randomly chooses a grape, eats it, and then chooses another grape.</em>

<em>To Find:</em>

<em>What is the probability that both grapes are red?</em>

<em>Answer choices:</em>

<em>about 39.7%</em>

<em>about 41.5%</em>

<em>about 42.5%</em>

<em>about 44.5%</em>

<em>Solution:</em>

<em>Since, there are 8 green grapes and 15 red grapes, the total number of grapes is 23 .</em>

<em>As the red grapes are 15..</em>

<em>Thus,</em>

<em>The probability of choosing a red grape the first time is 15/23.</em>

<em>Because out of the total 23 grapes only 15 were red grape.</em>

<em>The probability of choosing the red grape the second time will be 14/22. Because the number of red grapes has already decreased by one and so is the total number of grapes after first choice</em>

<em>Hence, the probability of choosing or eating two red grapes will be :</em>

<em>15/23×14/22</em>

<em>=105/253</em>

<em>=0.415</em>

<em>= 41.5%</em>

<em>Therefore, the probability that both grapes are red is about 41.5%</em>

The general solution to the second-order differential equation y′′+10y=0 is in the form y(x)=c1cosβx+c2sinβx. Find the value of
allsm [11]

Answer:β=√10 or 3.16 (rounded to 2 decimal places)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of β :

  • we will differentiate the y(x) equation twice to get a second order differential equation.
  • We compare our second order differential equation with the Second order differential equation specified in the problem to get the value of β

y(x)=c1cosβx+c2sinβx

we use the derivative of a sum rule to differentiate since we have an addition sign in our equation.

Also when differentiating Cosβx and Sinβx we should note that this involves function of a function. so we will differentiate  βx in each case and multiply with the differential of c1cosx and c2sinx respectively.

lastly the differential of sinx= cosx and for cosx = -sinx.

Knowing all these we can proceed to solving the problem.

y=c1cosβx+c2sinβx

y'= β×c1×-sinβx+β×c2×cosβx  

y'=-c1βsinβx+c2βcosβx

y''=β×-c1β×cosβx + (β×c2β×-sinβx)

y''= -c1β²cosβx -c2β²sinβx

factorize -β²

y''= -β²(c1cosβx +c2sinβx)

y(x)=c1cosβx+c2sinβx

therefore y'' = -β²y

y''+β²y=0

now we compare this with the second order D.E provided in the question

y''+10y=0

this means that β²y=10y

β²=10

B=√10  or 3.16(2 d.p)

Create a list of steps, in order, that will solve the following equation.
Vlada [557]

Answer:

a = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for a:

2 (a + 5) - 1 = 3

Hint: | Distribute 2 over a + 5.

2 (a + 5) = 2 a + 10:

(2 a + 10) - 1 = 3

Hint: | Group like terms in 2 a - 1 + 10.

Grouping like terms, 2 a - 1 + 10 = 2 a + (10 - 1):

(2 a + (10 - 1)) = 3

Hint: | Evaluate 10 - 1.

10 - 1 = 9:

2 a + 9 = 3

Hint: | Isolate terms with a to the left hand side.

Subtract 9 from both sides:

2 a + (9 - 9) = 3 - 9

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

9 - 9 = 0:

2 a = 3 - 9

Hint: | Evaluate 3 - 9.

3 - 9 = -6:

2 a = -6

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of 2 a = -6 by 2:

(2 a)/2 = (-6)/2

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

2/2 = 1:

a = (-6)/2

Hint: | Reduce (-6)/2 to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of -6 and 2.

The gcd of -6 and 2 is 2, so (-6)/2 = (2 (-3))/(2×1) = 2/2×-3 = -3:

Answer:  a = -3
