You are handed two boxes. you cannot see what is inside but you have reliable information that one of the boxes contains two gre

en and ten red balls and the other contains eight green and four red balls. you select a ball from one of the boxes at random and take it out. it is red. which of the two boxes is it more like to have come from? what is that probability

The probability of the first box with 2 green and 10 yellow is 1:5
the probability of the second box with 8 green and 4 red us 1:2.
The red ball most likly came from the first box.

Which represents x2 – 12x + 36 in factored form?

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

(x - 6)(x - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is $x^2 - 12x + 36 = 0$ .

A quadratic equation can be factored in the form $(x - a)(x - b)$ where $-a$ and $-b$ will form the roots of the equation.

Here the roots are: $+6 , +6$ .

The factored form would simply be: $(x - 6) (x - 6)$ .

Find the solutions for a triangle with a = 16, c =12, and B = 63º.

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

b. A = 71.6°; C = 45.40°; b =15.0

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing values can be found with the help of the Law of Cosine and properties of triangles:

Side b (Law of Cosine)

$b = \sqrt{a^{2}+c^{2}-2\cdot a \cdot c \cdot \cos B}$

$b = \sqrt{16^{2}+12^{2}-2\cdot (16)\cdot (12) \cdot \cos 63^{\circ}}$

$b \approx 15.022$

Angle A (Law of Cosine)

$\cos A = -\frac{a^{2} - b^{2}-c^{2}}{2\cdot b \cdot c}$

$\cos A = - \frac{16^{2}-15.022^{2}-12^{2}}{2\cdot (15.022)\cdot (12)}$

$\cos A = 0.315$

$A= \cos^{-1} 0.315$

$A \approx 71.639^{\circ}$

Angle C (Sum of internal angles in triangles)

$C = 180^{\circ} - 63^{\circ} - 71.639^{\circ}$

$C = 45.361^{\circ}$

Hence, the right answer is B.

The price of a swimming pool

Goryan [66]

Answer:

$Sales\:\:Price=List\:\:Price-Discount$
Sales price= $ $1167.25$ List price=L Discount $=19.5\%\:of\:L=0.195L$
$1167.25=L-0.195L$

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage discount is $19.5\%$

The discount is always given on the list price.

$Sales\:\:Price=List\:\:Price-Discount$

Let the list price be L, then

List price=L

Sales price= $ $1167.25$

Discount $=19.5\%\:of\:L=0.195L$

We substitute into the equation to get:

$1167.25=L-0.195L$

$1167.25=0.805L$

Divide both sides by 0.805

$\frac{1167.25}{0.805}=L$

$1450=L$

The list price of the swimming pool is $1450
