When will the equation xn = c, where c is a whole number, have two solutions? Explain.

Kazeer [188]

If x=n then it would have 2 solutions because it would be x^2 = c which has a positive and negative solution but idk if that is what you are asking for

How do you write 342 hundredths

Harman [31]

3.42. 342 hundredths is a decomposition of 3.42. On the place value chart if you write 3 ones 4 tents and 2 hundredths and then decompose it to a unit you get 342 hundredth. Hundredth is the unit.

Write the equation of the line, given the y- and x-intercepts.

Archy [21]

The formula would be:
<span>y = mx + b
</span><span>
Now, let's look at the information we know.
m = slope
b = y-intercept
y-intercept = -6
x-intercept = -2
</span>
First, we would need to determine the slope. The formula for slope is m = $\frac{ y_{2} - y_{1} } { x_{2} - x_{1} }$

Plug your coordinates in and solve it.
$\frac{0 + 6}{-2 - 0}$ = 6/-2 = -3

Now, since we have the slope and y-intercept, we are ready to plug them into the formula.
y = -3x - 6

I hope this helps!

Two litters of a particular rodent species have been born; first with two brownhaired and one gray-haired (litter 1) and the oth

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The probability that the animal chosen is brown-haired is 0.6333.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>A</em> : a brown-haired rodent

<em>B</em> : Litter 1

The information provided is:

$P (A|B) =\frac{2}{3}\\\\P(A|B^{c})=\frac{3}{5}$

The probability of selecting any of the two litters is equal, i.e.

$P(B)=P(B^{c})=\frac{1}{2}$

According to the law of total probability:

$P(X)=P(X|Y_{1})P(Y_{1})+P(X|Y_{2})P(Y_{2})+...+P(X|Y_{n})P(Y_{n})$

Compute the total probability of event <em>A</em> as follows:

$P(A)=P(A|B)P(B)+P(A|B^{c})P(B^{c})$

$=[\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{1}{2}]+[\frac{3}{5}\times\frac{1}{2}]\\\\=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{10}\\\\=\frac{10+9}{30}\\\\=\frac{19}{30}\\\\=0.6333$

Thus, the probability that the animal chosen is brown-haired is 0.6333.
