we know that

It is much easier to compute the number of numbers that do not contain a 3.

In the first 10 numbers 9 do not contain a 3.

In the first 100 numbers 81 do not contain a 3. (This is because these numbers are formed by selecting a digit out of

[0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] for the first position and another digit out of the same set for the last position and this may be done in

9*9 = 81 ways.

In the first 1000 numbers, reasoning as above, there are

9^{3} numbers that do not contain a 3.

Now the pattern should be becoming obvious.

In the first 10^{n} numbers there are 9^{n} numbers that do not contain a 3.

So

In the first 10^{4} numbers there are 9^{4} numbers that do not contain a 3.

9^{4}= 6,561

10,000- 6,561= 3,439

Thus

the ratio of those numbers that do contain a 3 over the total is equal to

Ratio=\frac{3,439}{10,000} \\ \\ Ratio=0.3439

therefore

the answer is

0.3439

In the first 10 -> 10 - 9 = 1 (contain a 3).
In the first 100 -> 100 - 9 * 9 = 19 (contain a 3).
In the first 10^n -> 10^n - 9^n  (contain a 3).




So for 10^4 -> 10^4 - 9^4 = 10.000 - 6.561 = 3.439 


<u>The answer is 3.439 numbers contain a 3 in the first 10.000</u>

Combine like terms and simplify 4r - 6 - 2r + 5
murzikaleks [220]
C. 10r-3


Because 2r+5=7, the minus 6 and 7 which gives you 1 then minus 4 and 1 witch is 3 then you do 10r-3 and it will get you to 2r+5=7 again. I hope this helped!

Ray BD bisects ∠ABC so that m∠DBC = (x + 7) and m∠ABD = (2x − 11). What is x? A. 6 B. 18 C. 29 D. 54
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to the find the value of the x.

By bisecting the angle, the ray in question divides it into two other angles which are equal.

We proceed as follows;

x + 7 = 2x -11

Collect like

terms

2x -x = 7 + 11

x = 18
