F(x) = 2x + 2 and g(x) = 7x + 1, which composition produces the greatest output

1 answer:

4 0

The correct answer would be g(x).

Notice that g(x) has a greater slope than f(x), which would make the line, if it were to be graphed, steeper, which means it increases at a faster rate.

To prove that g(x) has a greater output, you can plug in values into x to see which equation has the greater output.

Let's start with the number 1:
2(1)+2=4
7(1)+1=8

Then you can try other numbers such as 10 to see if this trend continues:
2(10)+2=22
7(10)+1=71

As you have seen, g(x) appears to have the greater output.

Hope this helps!

A bag contains 6 red apples and 5 yellow apples. 3 apples are selected at random. Find the probability of selecting 1 red apple

tester [92]

Answer: The required probability of selecting 1 red apple and 2 yellow apples is 36.36%.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given that a bag contains 6 red apples and 5 yellow apples out of which 3 apples are selected at random.

We are to find the probability of selecting 1 red apple and 2 yellow apples.

Let S denote the sample space for selecting 3 apples from the bag and let A denote the event of selecting 1 red apple and 2 yellow apples.

Then, we have

$n(S)=^{6+5}C_3=^{11}C_3=\dfrac{11!}{3!(11-3)!}=\dfrac{11\times10\times9\times8!}{3\times2\times1\times8!}=165,\\\\\\n(A)\\\\\\=^6C_1\times^5C_2\\\\\\=\dfrac{6!}{1!(6-1)!}\times\dfrac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}\\\\\\=\dfrac{6\times5!}{1\times5!}\times\dfrac{5\times4\times3!}{2\times1\times3!}\\\\\\=6\times5\times2\\\\=60.$
