Answer:

a. 52%

b. 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represents the event of raining on Monday and B represents the event of raining in Tuesday,

Then according to the question,

P(A) = 20% = 0.2,

P(B) = 40% = 0.4,

Here, A and B are independent events,

So, P(A∩B) = P(A) × P(B),

⇒ P(A∩B) = 0.2 × 0.4 = 0.08

We know that,

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

a. The probability it rains on Monday or Tuesday, P(A∪B) = 0.2 + 0.4 - 0.08

= 0.52

= 52%

b. The conditional probability it rains on Tuesday given that it rained on Monday,

P(\frac{B}{A})=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.08}{0.2}=0.4 = 40\%

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
Exponential growth of the form:

F=Ar^t

F=100(1.22)^t

F(5)=100(1.22)^5

F(5)=270.27

F(5)=270 to the nearest frog...

....

1.22=r^12

r=1.22^(1/12)

F=100(1.22^(1/12)^t)

F=100(1.22^(t/12))  now it will produce monthly populations...

Say we did the same as before but instead of 5 years you have 60 months...

F(60)=100(1.22^(60/12))

F(60)=270 to the nearest frog... :P

Find the solution of 3 times the square root of the quantity of x plus 6 equals negative 12, and determine if it is an extraneou
Anna35 [415]
For this case we have the following equation:
 3 \sqrt{x+6}=-12
 Rewriting we have:
 \sqrt{x+6}= \frac{-12}{3}
 \sqrt{x+6}=-4
 We raise both members of the equation to the square:
 (\sqrt{x+6})^2=(-4)^2
 Rewriting we have:
 x+6=16
 x=16-6
 x=10
 It's a extraneous solution because equality is not met by substituting x = 10 in the original equation:
 3 \sqrt{10+6}=-12
 3 \sqrt{16}=-12
 3(4)=-12
 12=-12
 Answer:
 
The solution is:
 
x=10
 It's a extraneous solution

Viktor [21]

Answer:

x=2\sqrt{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

If that is a square, then all sides are the same. Therefore, it's a \sqrt{10} by \sqrt{10} shape. We'll use Pythagorean Theorem to find the diagonal.

a^2+b^2=c^2\\\sqrt{10}^2+ \sqrt{10}^2=x^2\\10+10=x^2\\20=x^2\\\sqrt{20}=x\\\sqrt{4*5}=x\\ 2\sqrt{5}=x

Since it's not a fraction, there is no denominator to rationalize. Let me know if you have any other questions!
