First of all, note that there are 36 possible outcomes (all the numbers from 1 to 6 from the first die, combined with all the numbers from 1 to 6 from the second die).

a. Out of these 36 outcomes, the only ways to get 8 as sum are: (2, 6), (3, 5), (4, 4), (5, 3), (6, 2). There are 5 favourable cases over 36 possible cases, so the probability is 5/36.

b. We want to get 8 as sum, and the first die must be a 2. Out of the five pairs we got before, only the first satisfies this request, so the probability is 1/36

c. Knowing that the first die was a 2, we have 6 possible outcomes:

The second die rolls a 1, for a total of 3.

The second die rolls a 2, for a total of 4.

The second die rolls a 3, for a total of 5.

The second die rolls a 4, for a total of 6.

The second die rolls a 5, for a total of 7.

The second die rolls a 6, for a total of 8.

So, there is 1 favourable outcome out of 6 possible outcomes, so the probability is 1/6

d. The die is fair, so every number occurs with probability 1/6.

What are the coordinates of the vertex of the parabola described by the equation below? y = -7(x - 4)2 - 5
pochemuha
To get the vertex of the parabola we proceed as follows;
y=-7(x-4)^2-5
The above can be written as:
y=-7x^2+56x-117
The values of a,b and c are:
a=-7, b=56 and c=-117
x=-b/(2a)
x=-56/(-7*2)=4
but;
y=-7x^2+56x-117
y=-7(4)^2+56(4)-117
y=-5
Thus;
x=4 and y=-5
The vertex will be at point (4,-5)

A savings account earns 15% interest annually. What is the balance after 8 years in the savings account when the initial deposit
natita [175]

The balance after 8 years is $22,942.67

<h3>What is the balance after 8 years?</h3>

We know that the savings account earns 15% annually, and the initial deposit is $7500, then the balance as a function of time in years is:

B = $7500*(1 + 15%/100%)^t

B = $7500*(1.15)^t

The balance after 8 years is what we get when we evaluate the above function in t = 8, so we get:

B = $7500*(1.15)^8 = $22,942.67

So the correct option is the last one.

7x2 +11x-6/7x2 - 10x + 3
velikii [3]

Answer:

Final result :

 x + 2

 —————

 x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   7 • 3 = 21  

Step-2 : Find two factors of  21  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -10 .

     -21    +    -1    =    -22  

     -7    +    -3    =    -10    That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -7  and  -3  

                    7x2 - 7x - 3x - 3

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   7x • (x-1)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   3 • (x-1)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (7x-3)  •  (x-1)

            Which is the desired factorization
