A penny, nickel, and dime are simultaneously flipped. What is the probability that heads are showing on at least 6 cents worth o

Nastasia [14]2 years ago

Answer:

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of possible outcomes after flipping 3 coins is $2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8$. If the dime isn't heads, we need both the penny and nickel to be heads. If the dime is heads, the other two could be anything. So there are a total of $1+(2 \times 2)=5$ ways for us to get at least 6 cents. The answer is $\boxed{\dfrac58}.$

Which of the following is a quadratic equation that has the roots x = 2 and x = −7? (4 points)
crimeas [40]

Answer:

x^2 + 5x - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

We can assume that if there is 2 options for x, this is a quadratic equation that equals 0.

Therefore, we can put this into brackets as one bracket must equal 0.

(x - 2) (x + 7)

After this we expand, which is a process easier to search up

The answer is:

x^2 + 7x - 2x - 14

We can simplify this to:

x^2 + 5x - 14

x^2 represents x squared in case you were wondering

Therefore, the answer is:

x^2 + 5x - 14

Kryger [21]

Answer:

<h2>125 tickets for an adult</h2><h2>and 175 tickets for a student</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

a-\text{number of the tickets for an adult}\\s-\text{number of the tickets for a student}\\\\(1)\qquad a+s=300\\(2)\qquad4.5a+3s=1087.5\\------------\\(1)\\a+s=300\qquad\text{subtstitute}\ s\ \text{from both sides}\\a=300-s\\\\\text{Put it to (2):}\\\\4.5(300-s)+3s=1087.5\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\(4.5)(300)+(4.5)(-s)+3s=1087.5\\\\1350-4.5s+3s=1087.5\qquad\text{subtract 1350 from both sides}\\\\-1.5s=-262.5\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-1.5)}\\\\\boxed{s=175}

\text{Put the value of}\ s\ \text{to (1):}\\\\a=300-175\\\\\boxed{a=125}

Find x.______________a0
velikii [3]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we find x, we need to set up this triangle a little more. We need to find the triangle's altitude before we can solve for x. We will use the heartbeat method to find the altitude.

Let altitude = y; solve for y:

\frac{2}{y}=\frac{y}{6}

y^2=12

y=\sqrt{12}

y=2\sqrt{3}

Now that we know the altitude, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse (x).

a^2+b^2=c^2

2^2+(2\sqrt{3})^2=c^2

4+12=c^2

c^2=16

c=4

Since c and x are the same; c is just the hypotenuse in the Pythagorean Theorem.

x=4
