A coin is tossed two times. what is the probability of getting tails two times in a row?

1 answer:

5 0

It's a conditional probability: (We know that the probability of getting 1 tail or 1 head is equal to 1/2)

Probability ( Tail AND Tail) = 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4

3 years ago a father was 3 times as old as his son, in five years time he will be twice as old as his son, what will be the sum

ivolga24 [154]

Answer: 46 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the father's age be x and the son's age be y, then 3 years ago:

Father = x - 3

son = y - 3

Then , from the first statement :

x - 3 = 3 ( y - 3 )

x - 3 = 3y - 9

x = 3y - 9 + 3

x = 3y - 6 .......................................... equation 1

In five years time

father = x + 5

son = y + 5

Then , from the second statement

x + 5 = 2 ( y + 5 )

x + 5 = 2y + 10

x = 2y + 10 - 5

x = 2y + 5 ........................ equation 2

Equating equation 1 and 2 , we have

3y -6 = 2y + 5

add 6 to both sides

3y = 2y + 5 + 6

subtract 2y from both sides

3y - 2y = 11

y = 11

substitute y = 11 into equation 1 to find the value of x

x = 3y - 6

x = 3(11) - 6

x = 33 - 6

x = 27

This means that the father is presently 27 years and the son is presently 11 years.

In four years time

father = 27 + 4 = 31

son = 11 + 4 = 15

sum of their ages in four years time will be

31 + 15 = 46 years

Find the average rate of change of f(x) = 4x² – 3 from 3 to 9.

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$f(x) = 4x^2 - 3$

Required:

Average range of change from 3 to 9

SOLUTION:

Step 1:

Find f(3) and f(9):

To find f(3), replace x with 3 in the given function

$f(3) = 4(3)^2 - 3$

$f(3) = 4(9) - 3$

$f(3) = 36 - 3$

$f(3) = 33$

To find f(9), replace x with 9 in the given function

$f(9) = 4(9)^2 - 3$

$f(9) = 4(81) - 3$

$f(9) = 324 - 3$

$f(9) = 321$

Average rate of change = $\frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$

Where,

$a = 3, f(a) = 33$

$b = 9, f(b) = 321$

Plug in the values into the formula for average rate of change.

$= \frac{321 - 33}{9 - 3}$

$= \frac{288}{6}$

$= 44$

Average rate of change = 44

Help me this is hard

siniylev [52]

Following PEMDAS is crucial to solving these. Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally

P - Parenthesis

E - Exponents

M - Multiplication

D - Division

A - Addition

S - Subtraction

Multiplication/Division and Addition/Subtraction are interchangeable.

Now then, number 1 has the following:

$4-2*409-8*96$

There are no parenthesis or exponents, but there is multiplication, so we will start with multiplying. There are two multiplication expressions in the problem.

$-2 * 409 = -818$
