The probability of drawing a goldfish on the first draw is 16 / ( 16 + 24 ), or 16/40, or 2/5. Supposing that the first fish drawn is actually a goldfish, then there are 15 goldfish left among 39 fish, and the probability of drawing a goldfish on the 2nd draw is 15/39, or 5/13. The (joint) probability of drawing 2 goldfish on the 1st 2 draws, without replacement, is (5/13)(2/5) = 2/13.

What are the excluded values of x for x+4/-3x^2+12x+36
LekaFEV [45]
I will assume that you meant:

(x+4)/(-3x^2+12x+36)  factor the denominator...

(x+4)/(-3(x^2-4x-12))

To factor a quadratic of the form ax^2+bx+c you need to find two values, j and k, which satisfy two conditions...

jk=ac=-12 and j+k=b=-4 so j and k must be 2 and -6 and the factors are then:

(x+2)(x-6) so we are now left with:

(x+4)/(-3(x+2)(x-6))

The only restriction on this function is that division by zero is undefined, so x cannot equal -2 or 6

What is the solution of the system? Use either the substitution method or the elimination method. 4x + 2y = 104x + 2y = 10 x − y
bixtya [17]
4x+2y=10 Equation 1
x-y=13 Equation 2
Solving by substitution method.
Isolate x from equation 2.
x=y+13
Substitute value of x in equation 1
4(y+13)+2y=10
4y+52+2y=10
6y+52=10
6y=-42
y=-7
Now substitute value of y in x=y+13
x=-7+13
x=6

The tangent of an angle is 3.4. what is the measure of the angle to the nearest tenth?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

To answer this question, you first need to know what SohCahToa is.

S- opposite over hypotenuse

C- adjacent over hypotenuse

T- opposite over adjacent

In this situation, they have made it easier for you as they have given you the quotient of the opposite and adjacent sides (3.4) . Now in order to find an angle, you take the inverse of your expression. So instead of just Tan, you would plug in Tan^-1. So plug it in:

Tan^-1 (3.4)

Answer is 73.6 degrees.
