Answer:

<em>The probability that the second ball is red is 71%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Probabilities</u>

We know there are 5 red balls and 2 green balls. Let's analyze what can happen when two balls are drawn in sequence (no reposition).

The first ball can be red (R) or green (G). The probability that it's red is computed by

\displaystyle P(R)=\frac{5}{7}

The probability is's green is computed by

\displaystyle P(G)=\frac{2}{7}

If we have drawn a red ball, there are only 4 of them out of 6 in the urn, so the probability to draw a second red ball is

\displaystyle P(RR)=\frac{5}{7}\cdot \frac{4}{6}=\frac{10}{21}

If we have drawn a green ball, there are still 5 red balls out of 6 in the urn, so the probability to draw a red ball now is

\displaystyle P(GR)=\frac{2}{7}\cdot \frac{5}{6}=\frac{5}{21}

The total probability of the second ball being red is

\displaystyle P(XR)=\frac{10}{21}+\frac{5}{21}=\frac{5}{7}=0.71

The probability that the second ball is red is 71%

0.5(r+2.75) = 30.5(r+2.75)=3
astraxan [27]

Answer:

3.25 and -2.651639344262295...

Step-by-step explanation:

if 0.5(r + 2.75) = 3, then r = 3.25

if 30.5(r + 2.75) = 3, then r = -2.651639344262295...

For f(x)=√(2x+1) , find the following:
Wittaler [7]

Part a.

The domain is the set of x values such that x \ge -\frac{1}{2}, basically x can be equal to -1/2 or it can be larger than -1/2. To get this answer, you solve 2x+1 \ge 0 for x (subtract 1 from both sides; then divide both sides by 2). I set 2x+1 larger or equal to 0 because we want to avoid the stuff under the square root to be negative.

If you want the domain in interval notation, then it would be \Big[ -\frac{1}{2} , \infty \Big) which means the interval starts at -1/2 (including -1/2) and then it stops at infinity. So technically it never stops and goes on forever to the right.

-----------------------

Part b.

I'm going to use "sqrt" as shorthand for "square root"

f(x) = sqrt(2x+1)

f(10) = sqrt(2*10+1) ... every x replaced by 10

f(10) = sqrt(20+1)

f(10) = sqrt(21)

f(10) = 4.58257569 which is approximate

-----------------------

Part c.

f(x) = sqrt(2x+1)

f(x) = sqrt(2(x)+1)

f(x+2a) = sqrt(2(x+2a)+1) ... every x replaced by (x+2a)

f(x+2a) = sqrt(2x+4a+1) .... distribute

we can't simplify any further
