Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance that a is to b is b-a=17-2=15.

The line segment from a=2 to b=17 has length 15.

We need to know what is 3/5 of 15.

3/5 of 15 means what is 3/5 times 15?

(3/5)(15)=3(3)=9

So this means we are looking to make a line segment that is 9 units from 2 which is 2 to 11.

So 11 is 3/5 the way from a=2 to b=17.

Let's check from 2 to 11 that is a length of 9 and from 2 to 17 that is a length of 15.

Is 9/15 equal to 3/5?

Yes, 9/15 can be reduced to 3/5.

Can someone help me please?? in Algblra2 - Variations, Progression, and Theorems

VashaNatasha [74]

If (y-1) is a factor of f(y), f(y)=0 when y=1. So if you find that f(1)=0, then (y-1) is a factor of f(y).

f(y)=y^3-9y^2+10y+5

f(1)=1-9+10+5=7

Since f(1)=7, (y-1) is not a factor.

A box contains 3 coins. One coin has 2 heads and the other two are fair. A coin is chosen at random from the box and flipped. If

Blababa [14]

Answer: Our required probability is $\dfrac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of coins = 3

Number of coin has 2 heads = 1

Number of fair coins = 2

Probability of getting one of the coin among 3 = $\dfrac{1}{3}$

So, Probability of getting head from fair coin = $\dfrac{1}{2}$

Probability of getting head from baised coin = 1

Using "Bayes theorem" we will find the probability that it is the two headed coin is given by

$\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{3}\times 1}{\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{3}\times 1}\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{3}}{\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{3}}{\dfrac{2}{3}}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Hence, our required probability is $\dfrac{1}{2}$

No, the answer is not $\dfrac{1}{3}$

A department store sells logo shirts at an original price of $20. Every month that a shirt doesn’t sell, the store reduces the s

Tasya [4]

Given:
Original price = 20
reduces selling price by 25% every month it's not sold.

First markdown month:
20 * (100%-25%) = 20 * 75% = 15

Second markdown month
15 * 75% = 11.25

Macy, employee gets a 50% discount off the current price.
11.25 * 50% = 5.625
11.25 - 5.625 = 5.625 or 5.63

The pre-tax price of the shirt for Macy will be $5.63
