Answer:

0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The odds of winning a contest are 3:7

To find: probability of winning the contest

Solution:

Probability refers to chances of occurrence of an event.

Odds are defined as (chances for success) : (chances against success)

Probability of winning = (chances for success) : (chances for success + chances against success)

As odds of winning a contest are 3:7,

(chances for success) : (chances against success) = 3:7

So,

Probability of winning the contest = $\frac{3}{3+7} =\frac{3}{10}=0.3$

The sum of the measures of three adjacent angles is 150°. The measures of the angles are in the ratio of 1:2:3. What is the mea

stellarik [79]

Answer:

14•4°

step by step explanation:

ratio=1:2:3=6

angles in degree=150°

6/150°×360°(simplify)

6/5°×12°

=72°/5°

=14•4°

The largest angle=14•4°

use the identity below to complete the tasks a^3-b^3=(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2) when using the identity for the difference of two cubes t

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the the difference of cubes is

a³ - b³ = (a - b)(a² + ab + b²)

Given

64 $x^{6}$ - 27 ← a difference of cubes

with a = 4x² and b = 3, thus

= (4x²)³ - 3³

= (4x² - 3)(16 $x^{4}$ + 12x² + 9) ← in factored form

Point A is at (3, -8) and point B is at (7, 3). Point M is the midpoint of point A and point B.

IgorC [24]

The midpoint of point A and point B is (5, -2.5)

<h3>How to determine the midpoint?</h3>

The coordinates are given as:

A = (3, -8)

B = (7, -3)

The midpoint is calculated as:

(x, y) = 0.5 * (x1 + x2, y1 + y2)

So, we have:

(x, y) = 0.5 * (3 + 7, -8 + 3)

This gives

(x, y) = 0.5 * (10, -5)

Evaluate

(x, y) = (5, -2.5)

Hence, the midpoint of point A and point B is (5, -2.5)
