Maurinko [17]3 years ago

Answer: a) 3 and -3 b) 4 and 2

c) 3.5 and 2.5 d) 5.5 and 0.5 e) This is due to the difference in the coefficient of (x-3)² and the value at the right side of each equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 3x²-9 = 0

3x² = 0+9

3x² = 9

Dividing both sides by 3

x² = 9/3

x² = 3

x = √3

x = +3 and -3

b) (x-3)² = 1

Taking square root of both sides to remove the square,

√(x-3)² = √1

x-3 = √1

x-3 = 1 and x-3 = -1 (note that √1 is +1 and -1)

x = 4 and x = 2

c) 4(x-3)² = 1

Dividing both sides by 4 we have;

(x-3)² = 1/4

Taking the square root of both sides to eliminate the square.

√(x-3)² = √1/4

x-3 = √1/4

x-3 = +1/2 and x-3 = -1/2

x = 1/2+3 and x = -1/2+3

x = 3.5 and 2.5

d) 2(x-3)² = 12

Dividing both sides by 2 we have;

(x-3)² = 12/2

Taking the square root of both sides to eliminate the square.

√(x-3)² = √12/2

x-3 = √6

x-3 = 2.5 and x-3 = -2.5

x = 2.5+3 and x = -2.5+3

x = 5.5 and 0.5

e) The answers to questions 1 to 4 has different solutions due to the different value of the coefficient of (x-3)² and also the value at the right hand side of the equations also differs, hence, the reason for the difference in their answers.

In one lottery game, contestants pick five numbers from 1 through 23 and have to match all five for the big prize (in any order)
mihalych1998 [28]

The probability of matching three out of five numbers is 153/33649

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The numbers are given as:

1 to 23

There are five matching numbers

The  probability of getting a match is:

p = 5-k/n where k = 0, 1, 2

While the complement probability is

q = (n - 2)/n

Using the above formulas, the probability of getting from 5 is:

P = 5/23 * 4/22 * 3/21 * 18/20 * 17/19

Evaluate the product

P = 153/33649

Hence, the probability of matching three out of five numbers is 153/33649

Find a positive angle less than one revolution around the unit circle that is co-terminal with the given angle: 52pi/5
Ludmilka [50]
We know that
Two angles are said to be co-terminal <span>if they have the same initial side and </span>
<span>the same terminal side. 
</span>
(52π/5)-----> 10.4π<span>
so
</span>(52π/5)-5*2π------> (2π/5)

the answer is
the positive angle less than one revolution around the unit circle that is co-terminal with angle of 52π/5 is 2π/5

A game is played using ne die. If the die is rolled and shows 3, the player wins $45. If the die shows any number other than 3,
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

-$13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a random variable of a count of player gain.

- We are told that if the die shows 3, the player wins $45.

- there is a charge of $9 to play the game

If he wins, he gains; 45 - 9 = $36

If he looses, he has a net gain which is a loss = -$9

Thus, the x-values are; (36, -9)

Probability of getting a 3 which is a win is P(X) = 1/6 since there are 6 numbers on the dice and probability of getting any other number is P(X) = 5/6

Thus;

E(X) = Σ(x•P(X)) = (1/6)(36) + (5/6)(-9)

E(X) = (1/6)(36 - (5 × 9))

E(X) = (1/6)(36 - 45)

E(X) = -9/6 = -3/2

E(X) = -3/2

This represents -3/2 of $9 = -(3/2) × 9 = - 27/2 = -$13.5
