Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x²-2x-1

and y=-3x+5

x²-2x-1=-3x+5

x²+x-6=0

x²+3x-2x-6=0

x(x+3)-2(x+3)=0

(x+3)(x-2)=0

x=-3,2

when x=-3

y=-3×-3+5=9+5=14

when x=2

y=-3×2+5=-6+5=-1

so solutions are (-3,14) and (2,-1)

How many minutes are there in 2 3/5 hours

mars1129 [50]

156 minutes.

To find this, remember that an hour has sixty minutes. With this information, it is also given that there are two hours, thus meaning that we have to multiply sixty by two. This will give you 120. Next, you need to figure out the 3/5's portion of an hour. To find 1/5 of an hour, simply divide sixty by five. With that, you get the answer of 12. But because it says 3/5, you need to multiply 12 by 3, giving you 36. Finally, you add 36 to 120 to get the final answer of 156.

Hope this helps!

You invest $6500 into a mutual fund that is expected to earn 6% per year. How long will it take the fund to be worth $13,000?

tester [92]

This is a compound interest problem so you cannot use the simple interest formula. Effectively the total amount is being compounded each year by 6%. There is a formula for compound interest but in this simple example you can work this out recursively.

year 1 = 6500
year2 = 6500*1.06 = 6890
year3 = 6890*1.06 = 7303
year4 = 7303*1.06 = 7741..
etc......
year12 = 11604*1.06 = 12338

A university warehouse has received a shipment of 25 printers, of which 10 are laser printers and 15 are inkjet models. If 6 of

Answer:

The probability is 0.31

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability, we will consider the following approach. Given a particular outcome, and considering that each outcome is equally likely, we can calculate the probability by simply counting the number of ways we get the desired outcome and divide it by the total number of outcomes.

In this case, the event of interest is choosing 3 laser printers and 3 inkjets. At first, we have a total of 25 printers and we will be choosing 6 printers at random. The total number of ways in which we can choose 6 elements out of 25 is $\binom{25}{6}$ , where $\binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{(n-k)!k!}$ . We have that $\binom{25}{6} = 177100$

Now, we will calculate the number of ways to which we obtain the desired event. We will be choosing 3 laser printers and 3 inkjets. So the total number of ways this can happen is the multiplication of the number of ways we can choose 3 printers out of 10 (for the laser printers) times the number of ways of choosing 3 printers out of 15 (for the inkjets). So, in this case, the event can be obtained in $\binom{10}{3}\cdot \binom{15}{3} = 54600$

So the probability of having 3 laser printers and 3 inkjets is given by

$\frac{54600}{177100} = \frac{78}{253} = 0.31$
