Answer: 0.0160768

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the marked price of the cosmetic be 100.

From the question,

Walgreens is offered a chain discount on cosmetics from Libby Corp. of 8%, 5% and 2%. The selling price of the cosmetic after the chain discount will be:

100 × (1 - 8/100) × (1 - 5/100) × (1 - 2/100)

= 100 × (1 - 0.08) × (1 - 0.05) × (1 - 0.02)

= 85.652

Discount = Marked price - Selling price

Discount = 100 - 85.652

Discount = 14.348

Discount percent = 14.348% = 0.14348

Roma Company offers a chain discount of 7%, 6% and 4%.

The selling price of the cosmetic after the chain discount will be:

100 × (1 - 7/100) × (1 - 6/100) × (1 - 4/100)

= 100 × (1 - 0.07) × (1 - 0.06) × (1 - 0.04)

= 83.9232

Discount = Marked price - Selling price

Discount = 100 - 83.9232

Discount = 16.0768

Discount percent = 16.0768% = 0.0160768

The highest discount offered is 0.0160768.

What's the probability of the compound event for. A bag contains 4 red, 8 blue, 6 yellow and 2 green marbles. Maria selects a ma

Nataly [62]

Given:

Number of red marbles = 4

Number of blue marbles = 8

Number of yellow marbles = 6

Number of green marbles = 2

To find:

The probability of getting a blue marble then a red marble, i.e., P(blue, red).

Solution:

Using the given information,

The total number of marbles = 4+8+6+2

= 20

Probability of getting a blue marble in first draw is

$P(Blue)=\dfrac{\text{Number of blue marbles}}{\text{Total number of marbles}}$

$P(Blue)=\dfrac{8}{20}$

$P(Blue)=\dfrac{2}{5}$

Maria selects a marble, puts it back and then selects a second marble. It means the total number of marbles remains the same.

$P(red)=\dfrac{\text{Number of red marbles}}{\text{Total number of marbles}}$

$P(red)=\dfrac{4}{20}$

$P(red)=\dfrac{1}{5}$

Now, the probability of getting a blue marble then a red marble is

$P(blue,red)=\dfrac{2}{5}\times \dfrac{1}{5}$

$P(blue,red)=\dfrac{2}{25}$

Therefore, the required probability P(blue, red) is $\dfrac{2}{25}$ .

What is the fifth term of the sequence whose first term is 10 and whose common ratio is 1/2?

Alborosie

Answer:

$\frac{5}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of a geometric sequence is

$a_{n}$ = a₁ $(r)^{n-1}$

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

here a₁ = 10 and r = $\frac{1}{2}$ , thus

$a_{5}$ = 10 × $(1/2)^{4}$ = 10 × $\frac{1}{16}$ = $\frac{5}{8}$

Use the laplace transform to solve the given initial-value problem. y' 5y = e4t, y(0) = 2

Basile [38]

The Laplace transform of the given initial-value problem

$y' 5y = e^{4t}, y(0) = 2$ is mathematically given as

$y(t)=\frac{1}{9} e^{4 t}+\frac{17}{9} e^{-5 t}$

<h3>What is the Laplace transform of the given initial-value problem? y' 5y = e4t, y(0) = 2?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the problem is mathematically given as

$&\text { Sol:- } \quad y^{\prime}+s y=e^{4 t}, y(0)=2 \\\\&\text { Taking Laplace transform of (1) } \\\\&\quad L\left[y^{\prime}+5 y\right]=\left[\left[e^{4 t}\right]\right. \\\\&\Rightarrow \quad L\left[y^{\prime}\right]+5 L[y]=\frac{1}{s-4} \\\\&\Rightarrow \quad s y(s)-y(0)+5 y(s)=\frac{1}{s-4} \\\\&\Rightarrow \quad(s+5) y(s)=\frac{1}{s-4}+2 \\\\&\Rightarrow \quad y(s)=\frac{1}{s+5}\left[\frac{1}{s-4}+2\right]=\frac{2 s-7}{(s+5)(s-4)}\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned}&\text { Let } \frac{2 s-7}{(s+5)(s-4)}=\frac{a_{0}}{s-4}+\frac{a_{1}}{s+5} \\&\Rightarrow 2 s-7=a_{0}(s+s)+a_{1}(s-4)\end{aligned}$

$put $s=-s \Rightarrow a_{1}=\frac{17}{9}$$

$\begin{aligned}\text { put } s &=4 \Rightarrow a_{0}=\frac{1}{9} \\\Rightarrow \quad y(s) &=\frac{1}{9(s-4)}+\frac{17}{9(s+s)}\end{aligned}$

In conclusion, Taking inverse Laplace tranoform

$L^{-1}[y(s)]=\frac{1}{9} L^{-1}\left[\frac{1}{s-4}\right]+\frac{17}{9} L^{-1}\left[\frac{1}{s+5}\right]$ \\\\$

$y(t)=\frac{1}{9} e^{4 t}+\frac{17}{9} e^{-5 t}$

Suppose X and Y represent two different school populations where X > Y and X and Y must be greater than 0. Which of the follo

Stells [14]

Answer:(X+Y)²

X²+Y² would be greater than X²-Y² since addition gives a greater result than subtraction.

X²+Y² would be greater than 2(X+Y); this is because 2(X+Y) = 2X+2Y, which will be less than X²+Y², since X>Y.

(X+Y)² = (X+Y)(X+Y). This can be simplified using the distributive property:

X(X)+X(Y)+Y(X)+Y(Y) = X²+XY+YX+Y² = X²+2XY+Y². This is greater than X²+Y².
