All we need to do is to find out how much is 1/8 of 48 and 1/9 of 36:

1/8 * 48 =
= 48/8 =
= 6

1/9 * 36 =
= 36/9 =
= 4

It means that Sarah had 6 inches piece, while Jane had 4 inches piece.

Answer: Sarah had a piece of ribbon which was longer than Jane's one by 6 - 4 = 2 feet.

Let f(x) = xe^-x+ ce^-x, where c is a positive constant. For what positive value of c does f have an absolute
Illusion [34]

Answer:

c=6

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute maximum of a continuous function f(x) is where f'(x)=0. Therefore, we must differentiate the function and then set x=-5 and f'(x)=0 to determine the value of c:

f(x)=xe^{-x}+ce^{-x}

f'(x)=-xe^{-x}+e^{-x}-ce^{-x}

0=-(-5)e^{-(-5)}+e^{-(-5)}-ce^{-(-5)}

0=5e^{5}+e^{5}-ce^{5}

0=e^5(5+1-c)

0=6-c

c=6

Therefore, when c=6, the absolute maximum of the function is x=-5.

Assume that two fair dice are rolled. First compute P(F) and then P(FIE). Explain why one would expect the
saveliy_v [14]

The probability that a three shows on at least one of the dice is 11/36.

<h3>How to calculate the probability?</h3>

It should be noted that of probability means the likelihood of the occurence of an event.

The probability that a three shows on at least one of the dice will be:

= 11/36

This can be seen from the table that is attached.

The probability that the total is less than 8 will be:

= 21/36

= 7/12

Here, there are 21 places where the total is less than 8.
