Answer:

18/95

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 20 names, 9 of which are girl names.

The probability that the first name is a girl name is 9/20.

Since there's one less girl name in the hat, there are now a total of 19 names, 8 of which are girl names.  So the probability that the second name is a girl name is 8/19.

The total probability is (9/20) (8/19) = 18/95.

The product of two consecutive even integers is 224. what are the integers?
algol [13]

Answer:

16, -16, 14, and -14

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way of solving this question is by setting up an equation. Let's use "n" to represent any random possible integer.

n (n + 2)  = 224

Simplifying:

x^2 + 2n - 224 = 0

(n + 16)(n - 14) = 0

n = -16, 16 or n = -14, 14

<u>Check:</u>

16 * 14 = 224

-16 * -14 = 224

Thus, answers of 16, -16, 14, and -14 all work correctly.

What is the answer to this?
alexdok [17]

Answer:

  1. x < 2.5
  2. x > 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to do this is to try a number for x and see if it makes the inequality true. A suitable number here is x=0. This value of x is less than 2.5.

<h3>1.</h3>

For x=0, you have ...

  5 > -5 . . . . . true; the solution space is x < 2.5

__

<h3>2.</h3>

For x=0, you have ...

  -25 > -5(2.5)

  -25 > -12.5 . . . . . false; the solution space is x > 2.5

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

<h3>1.</h3>

Subtract 5:

  -4x > -10

Divide by -4

  x < 2.5

__

<h3>2.</h3>

Divide by -5:

  5 < x +2.5

Subtract 2.5

  2.5 < x

  x > 2.5

2. A right triangle has a hypotenuse of 15 cm. What are possible lengths for the two legs of the triangle? Explain your reasonin
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Two possible lengths for the legs A and B are:

B = 1cm

A = 14.97cm

Or:

B = 9cm

A = 12cm

Step-by-step explanation:

For a triangle rectangle, Pythagorean's theorem says that the sum of the squares of the cathetus is equal to the hypotenuse squared.

Then if the two legs of the triangle are A and B, and the hypotenuse is H, we have:

A^2 + B^2 = H^2

If we know that H = 15cm, then:

A^2 + B^2 = (15cm)^2

Now, let's isolate one of the legs:

A = √( (15cm)^2 - B^2)

Now we can just input different values of B there, and then solve the value for the other leg.

Then if we have:

B = 1cm

A = √( (15cm)^2 - (1cm)^2) = 14.97

Then we could have:

B = 1cm

A = 14.97cm

Now let's try with another value of B:

if B = 9cm, then:

A = √( (15cm)^2 - (9cm)^2) = 12 cm

Then we could have:

B = 9cm

A = 12cm

So we just found two possible lengths for the two legs of the triangle.
