Solve 5-2x > 4, then represent on a number line​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Varvara68 [4.7K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:  x < 1/2 or x < 0.5

The graph is below

=========================================================

There are two ways to solve this

Method 1

5 - 2x > 4

-2x > 4-5

-2x > -1

x < -1/(-2) .... note the inequality sign flips

x < 1/2

x < 0.5

The inequality sign flips whenever we divide both sides by a negative number.

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

Method 2

5 - 2x > 4

5 - 2x+2x > 4+2x

5 > 4+2x

4+2x < 5

2x < 5-4

2x < 1

x < 1/2

x < 0.5

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

To graph this on a number line, we'll plot an open hole at 1/2 or 0.5 on the number line. Then we shade to the left to represent all values smaller than 1/2 = 0.5

The open hole signals that 0.5 itself is NOT part of the solution set.

See the diagram below.

A new surgical procedure is said to be successful 60% of the time. Suppose the operation is performed five times and the results
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

0.07776, 0.3456,0.08704

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a new surgical procedure is said to be successful 60% of the time

Let X be the no of successes

Then X has only two outcomes and each trial is independent of the other

Hence X is binomial with p = prob of success in a single trial = 0.60

n = Number of operations performed = 5

Prob that

a) all five operations are successful =

P(X=5)\\= (0.6)^5\\=0.07776

(b) exactly three are successful

=P(X=3) = 5C3 (0.6)^3(0.4)^2\\= 0.3456

(c) less than two are successful

==P(X

A jar of marbles contains the following: two purple marbles, four white marbles, three blue marbles, and two green marbles. What
Llana [10]

Answer:

4/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of marbles = 2(purple) + 4(white) + 3(blue) + 2(green)

                                          = 11

Number of white marbles = 4

Probability of selecting a white marble =

         number of white marbles/total number of marbles in the jar

         = 4/11
