Please help! Will mark brainliest!
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not quite sure if this is correct.

first I figured out how many minutes per 1 mile: 24

then I figured out how exactly much time 1.5 hours is: 1 hour and 12 minutes. then I subtracted that from 2 hours, knowing that 1.5 hours is 3 miles, I found that there was only 48 minutes remaining in that hour, which would be 24×2, aka 2 miles. so the final answer would be 5 miles, sorry for the run-on sentence. Yet again, I am not quite sure if this is right-

Im a randomly generated list of numbers from 0 to 6, what is the chance that each number will occur?
Bumek [7]

Answer:

1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

The list of numbers generated is; 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,

There are 7 possible outcomes and each outcome is equally likely. The probability or chance that each number will occur is given by;

What values of b will cause 4x^2+bx+25=0 to have one real solution?
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

b=20 or b=-20

Step-by-step explanation:

Keep in mind the meanings of the values of the discriminant:

If b^2-4ac=0, then the quadratic will have only 1 solution (double root)

If b^2-4ac<0, then the quadratic will have no real solutions

If b^2-4ac>0, then the quadratic will have 2 unique solutions

In this case, to get one real solution, the discriminant must be set up as b^2-4ac=0. Setting up the equation we get:

b^2-4(4)(25)=0

b^2-400=0

b^2=400

b=20 or b=-20

So the values of b would have to be either 20 or -20
