20 mysteries. Add 20% and 30% to get 50%. Then rewrite 50% as 50/100. Next multiply 50/100 by 40 to get 2,000/100.The last thing to do is simplify to get 20 and subtract 20 from 40 to get 20 mysteries.

Well I don't know.
Let's think about it:

-- There are 6 possibilities for each role.
    So 36 possibilities for 2 rolls.
    Doesn't take us anywhere.

New direction:
-- If the first roll is odd, then you need another odd on the second one.
-- If the first roll is even, then you need another even on the second one.
This may be the key, right here !

-- The die has 3 odds and 3 evens.

-- Probability of an odd followed by another odd = (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4
-- Probability of an even followed by another even = (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4

I'm sure this is it.  I'm a little shaky on how to combine those 2 probs.

Ah hah ! 
Try this:

Probability of either 1 sequence or the other one is (1/4) + (1/4) = 1/2 .

That means ... Regardless of what the first roll is, the probability of
the second roll matching it in oddness or evenness is 1/2 .

So the probability of 2 rolls that sum to an even number is 1/2 = 50% .

Is this reasonable, or sleazy ?

Answer:

x= 1

QS = 10 cm

QRS = 40cm

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 1 = 5x

x= 1 cm

QS = 4x + 1 + 5x

= 9x + 1

= 9 + 1

= 10cm

QRS perimeter

QS + RQ + RS but ( RQ = RS)

= 10 + 15 + 15

= 40cm

Given that f(x) = x2 + 10x + 21 and g(x) = x + 7, find (f•g)(x) and express
sammy [17]

Answer:

<h2>(f.g)x =  {x}^{2}  + 24x + 140</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

given \\ f(x) = x ^{2}  + 10x + 21 \: and \: g(x) = x + 7

as \: we \: know \: (f.g)x \: is \: same \: as

f(g(x))

so \:

f(x + 7) = ( x + 7) ^{2}  + 10(x + 7) + 21

f(x + 7) =  {x}^{2}  + 14x + 49 + 10x + 70 + 21

f(x + 7) = x^{2}  + 24x + 140

therefore

(f.g)x =  {x}^{2}  + 24x + 140

Is it possible to square root a negative number?
alexira [117]
 <span>No because a negative times a negative will be positive and it will not equal a negative number. the square root cannot be one negative and one positive because that is against the definition of a square root.
