Answer:
(mn+n²)/(m+n)
Step-by-step explanation:
probability of blue marble= n/(n+m)
probability of red marble= m/(n+m)
probability that process stops = Probability of both blue + probability of both red= n/(n+m) × n/(n+m) + m/(n+m)×m/(n+m)
= (n²+m²)/(n+m)²
P(1st marbel is blue)= P(blue and red) + P(blue and blue)
= mn/(n+m) + n²/(n+m)
= (mn+n²)/(m+n)
P(1st marble is blue | process stops)= ( (mn+n²)/(m+n)× (n²+m²)/(n+m)²)/ ((n²+m²)/(n+m)²)
= (mn+n²)/(m+n)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the bricklayer can construct the wall in its entirety in 3 hours, then he can get 1/3 of the job done in an hour.
If the apprentice can get the whole job done in 5 hours, then he can get 1/5 of the job done in an hour. If they both work together on said job, the equation is
and now we solve for x. Multiply everything by the LCM to get rid of the fractions. That would be 15x:
and doing that gives us
5x + 3x = 15 and
8x = 15 so
x = 1.875 hours which is 1 7/8 hours which is also 1 hour and 52 1/2 minutes.
Answer:
The third picture
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x in both equations
2x<6
Divide both sides by 2:
x<3
3x+2>-4
Subtract 2 from both sides:
3x>-6
Divide both sides by 3:
x>-2
There is this trick you can use when x is on the left side of the equation to find out which way to shade in you graph. Keep in mind this is only for the left side, it will not work if your variable is on the right.
When the symbol is facing left < then shade left, imagine it is pointing which way to shade. x<3 is represented by the 3 picture on the left. When the symbol is facing right > then shade right, again it is pointing which way to shade. x>-2 is represented by the 3 picture on the right.
The circles are not filled in because the symbol is < and > rather than
. When it is greater than or equal to or less than and equal to (represented by the line under the symbol), then the circle is shaded in.
Answer:
y = 7 
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the given ordered pairs to find a and b
Using (0, 7 ), then
7 = a
(
= 1 ), thus
a = 7
y = 7 
Using (5, 1701 )
1701 = 7
( divide both sides by 7 )
243 =
( take the fifth root of both sides )
b =
= 3 , thus
y = 7
Its 3.8 because if you add 5.9 and 10.3 is 16.2, and if you subtract it by 20, it should equal 3.8.
