Answer: D) 40%

==========================================================

Work Shown:

Area of purple rectangle (ignore circular cutout for now) = base*height = 6*12 = 72

I'm assuming the center of the circle is located on the right edge of the purple rectangle. If so, then we can subtract off half the circle's area from the purple rectangle area

Semicircle Area = (pi*r^2)/2 = (pi*3^2)/2 = 14.1371669

Area of purple region = (Rectangle Area) - (Semicircle Area)

Area of purple region = 72-14.1371669

Area of purple region = 57.8628331

-------

Now divide this area by 144 as this is the total area of the entire largest square (12 by 12 square) to get 57.8628331/144 = 0.401825 which is approximate. This rounds to 0.40 and converts to 40% which explains how I got choice D as the answer

Answer:

That probability is approx. 40%.  See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

That probability is the area of the purple section divided by the total area of the square before coloring purple.

This area of the square is (12 cm)^2, or 144 cm^2.  

Half the area of the circle is pi*(3 cm)^2, or 9*pi cm^2.

Thus, the purple area is (144 cm^2) / 2  - (9/2)*pi cm^2, or (72 - 9*pi/2) cm^2.  This is approx. 57.86.

The ratio of this purple area to the full area of the square is:

57.86 cm^2

--------------------------------- = 0.4 (approximately)

144 cm^2

Rewrite the expression so that the GCF is factored completely: 2x^3y+18xy-10x^2y-90y
Agata [3.3K]

2x^3y+18xy-10x^2y-90y

= 2xy(x^2 + 9)- 10y(x^2 + 9)

= (x^2 + 9)(2xy - 10y)

= (x^2 + 9) 2y(x - 5)

= 2y (x^2 + 9) (x - 5)

Find two additional roots of P(x)=0.<br><br> 13+sqrt 3 and 7i
vova2212 [387]
So, x = 13, x = √3 and x =7i.

now, recall that for an EVEN radical, there are two possible roots, namely is say √3 is say hmmm some value "a", that means that a*a = √3, however, -a*-a is also √3, therefore, ±√3 are two valid values, and therefore -√3 is another one.

now.... keep in mind that, complex solutions or roots, never come all by their lonesome, their sister is always with them, the conjugate, so, for 7i or namely 0 + 7i, her sister is always around, 0 - 7i, which is the other root.
