3 pencils and 9 pens = 12 total
probability of picking pencil in 1st box is 3/12 which reduces to 1/4

7 pencils and 3 crayons = 10 total
probability of picking pencil from 2nd box is 7/10

probability of both = (1/4 * 7/10) = 7/40 <==

Out of the first box the possibility would be 3:12 or 3 out of 12. The second box would be 7:10 or 7 out of 10

Given that f(x) = x^2 - 4x +1, find the value of m if f(m) = -3
iragen [17]

a. Answer:  m = 2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

f(x) = x² - 4x + 1

f(m) = m² - 4m + 1 = -3

         m² - 4m + 4 = 0

         (m - 2)(m - 2) = 0

               m = 2

***************************************************

b. Answer:  k = 2 and k = 5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

f(x) = x² - 7x + 14

f(k) = k² - 7k + 14 = 4

        k² - 7k + 10 = 0

        (k - 2)(k - 5) = 0

        k = 2   k = 5

Three friends share a pizza.one eighth falls on the fall and is thrown away.the remainder is shared equally..what fraction of th
maria [59]
If one eighth of the pizza falls, that leaves seven eights of the pizza to be shared:

1\ (whole\ pizza) -\frac{1}{8}=\frac{7}{8}

If the 7/8 pizza is shared between three people, then you have to divide 7/8 by 3. We know that dividing a fraction by 3 is the same as multiplying by 1/3:

\frac{7}{8} \div 3\\\\\frac{7}{8}*\frac{1}{3}\\\\\frac{7*1}{8*3}\\\\frac{7}{24}

Therefore, each person gets 7/24 of the whole pizza.
