Answer:
Answer as a fraction: 4/15
Answer as a decimal: 0.267
The decimal version is approximate rounded to three decimal places.
Step-by-step explanation:
6 apples, 4 peaches
6+4 = 10 pieces of fruit total
The probability of picking an apple is 6/10 = 3/5
After you pick and eat the apple, there are 10-1 = 9 pieces of fruit left. Also, the probability of picking a peach is 4/9, as there are 4 peaches out of 9 fruit left over.
Multiply out 3/5 and 4/9 to get (3/5)*(4/9) = (3*4)/(5*9) = 12/45 = 4/15
Using a calculator, 4/15 = 0.267 approximately.
Answer:
h(x) = x/2 - 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's the procedure for finding the inverse function algebraically:
1. Replace the label 'f(x)' with the label 'y:' y = 2x + 1
2. Interchange x and y: x = 2y + 1
3. Solve the resulting equation for y: 2y = x - 1, or y = (1/2)(x - 1) or y = x/2 - 1/2
This result corresponds to the 1st given possible answer choice.
The desired inverse function is h(x) = x/2 - 1/2
Company A charges $75.50 and 14¢ per mile, then for x miles, Company A charges 75.5 + 0.14x dollars
Company B charges $30.50 and 9¢ per mile, then for x miles, Company B charges 30.5 + 0.09x dollars
Subtracting the second equation to the first one,
75.5 + 0.14x
-
30.5 + 0.09x
----------------------
45 + 0.05x
For x miles, Company A charges 45 + 0.05x dollars more than Company B.
