To find the probability you must multiply the probability of rolling doubles by itself 3 times.

to roll a double of any number you have to have the same number on a six-sided die that can be represented as 1/6 times 1/6 = 1/36 chance per roll

$\frac{1}{36} * \frac{1}{36} * \frac{1}{36} = \frac{1}{46656}$

there is a 1 in 46656 chance in rolling doubles 3 times in a row.

If 2(4x + 3)/(x - 3)(x + 7) = a/x - 3 + b/x + 7, find the values of a and b.

zmey [24]

Answer:

$a=3$ and $b=5$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

So I believe the problem is this:

$\frac{2(4x+3)}{x-3}(x+7)}=\frac{a}{x-3}+\frac{b}{x+7}$

where we are asked to find values for $a$ and $b$ such that the equation holds for any $x$ in the equation's domain.

So I'm actually going to get rid of any domain restrictions by multiplying both sides by (x-3)(x+7).

In other words this will clear the fractions.

$\frac{2(4x+3)}{x-3}(x+7)}\cdot(x-3)(x+7)=\frac{a}{x-3}\cdot(x-3)(x+7)+\frac{b}{x+7}(x-3)(x+7)$

$2(4x+3)=a(x+7)+b(x-3)$

As you can see there was some cancellation.

I'm going to plug in -7 for x because x+7 becomes 0 then.

$2(4\cdot -7+3)=a(-7+7)+b(-7-3)$

$2(-28+3)=a(0)+b(-10)$

$2(-25)=0-10b$

$-50=-10b$

Divide both sides by -10:

$\frac{-50}{-10}=b$

$5=b$

Now we have:

$2(4x+3)=a(x+7)+b(x-3)$ with $b=5$

I notice that x-3 is 0 when x=3. So I'm going to replace x with 3.

$2(4\cdot 3+3)=a(3+7)+b(3-3)$

$2(12+3)=a(10)+b(0)$

$2(15)=10a+0$

$30=10a$

Divide both sides by 10:

$\frac{30}{10}=a$

$3=a$

So $a=3$ and $b=5$ .

The scatter plot shows the number of passengers at a major airport over a 15-year period from the year 2000. About how many pas

Sliva [168]

Answer:

The answer is 65

Step-by-step explanation:

First, determine the x-value that corresponds to the given year.

Since x corresponds to the number of years since 2000, the year 2009 corresponds to an x-value of 9.

Next, find the y-value on the trend line that corresponds to an x-value of 9. The problem statement has been updated to show lines traced from the x-value of 9 to the trend line and then to the y-value.

Notice that the point (9,70) appears to lie on the trend line.

Therefore, in 2009, approximately 70 million passengers travelled through the airport.

Drag each number to show whether or not it is a solution to the inequality shown. Inequality: 20?5+3x

Brut [27]

Answer:

The answer to this is any number > 5 will work.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 20 > 5 + 3x is the inequality, we can then solve for x and see what we have.

20 > 5 + 3x

15 > 3x

5 > x
