Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an equationx^3-21x=-20

We have to find the root of given polynomial equation by using rational root theorem.

x^3-12 x+20=0

Factor of 1 is 1.

Factors of 20 are \pm 1,\pm 2,\pm 4,\pm 5,\pm 10,\pm 20

The  roots of given polynomial is in the form

\pm \frac{2}{1},\pm \frac{4}{1},\pm\frac{5}{1},\pm \frac{10}{1},\pm \frac{20}{1}

When we substitute x=1 then we get

1-21+20=0

Therefore, 1 is a root of given polynomial.

Hence, option C is correct.

Pamela and her friend Nicole are each baking apple pies and tarts for a bake sale, using the same recipes. Pamela baked 5 apple
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Each apple pie requires 8 apples, and each apple tart requires 4 apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that both Pamela and Nicole bake the same amount of apple pies, but different amounts of apple tarts. Because of this, we can subtract the two to try to figure out the amount of apples for each apple tart. We subtract 68 from 76, giving us 8. Nicole baked 9 apple tarts, while Pamela baked 7, and 9-7=2. So we can bake two apple tarts with 8 apples, so one apple tart requires 4 apples (we divide by 2). Now that we know the amount of apples per each apple tart, we multiply 7 apple tarts that Pamela made by 4 apples, giving us 28. We subtract that from the total amount of apples Pamela used, which was 68, giving us 40. From this we can deduct that 5 apple pies need 40 apples, and we divide by 5, giving us 1 apple pie requires 8 apples.

A bag contains two six-sided dice: one red, one green. The red die has faces numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The green die has fa
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

the probability the die chosen was green is 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A bag contains two six-sided dice: one red, one green.

The red die has faces numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

The green die has faces numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, and 4.

From above, the probability of obtaining 4 in a single throw of a fair die is:

P (4  | red dice) = \dfrac{1}{6}

P (4 | green dice) = \dfrac{3}{6} =\dfrac{1}{2}

A die is selected at random and rolled four times.

As the die is selected randomly; the probability of the first die must be equal to the probability of the second die = \dfrac{1}{2}

The probability of two 1's and two 4's in the first dice can be calculated as:

= \begin {pmatrix}  \left \begin{array}{c}4\\2\\ \end{array} \right  \end {pmatrix} \times  \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{1}{6}  \end {pmatrix}  ^4

= \dfrac{4!}{2!(4-2)!} ( \dfrac{1}{6})^4

= \dfrac{4!}{2!(2)!} \times ( \dfrac{1}{6})^4

= 6 \times ( \dfrac{1}{6})^4

= (\dfrac{1}{6})^3

= \dfrac{1}{216}

The probability of two 1's and two 4's in the second  dice can be calculated as:

= \begin {pmatrix}  \left \begin{array}{c}4\\2\\ \end{array} \right  \end {pmatrix} \times  \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{1}{6}  \end {pmatrix}  ^2  \times  \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{3}{6}  \end {pmatrix}  ^2

= \dfrac{4!}{2!(2)!} \times ( \dfrac{1}{6})^2 \times  ( \dfrac{3}{6})^2

= 6 \times ( \dfrac{1}{6})^2 \times  ( \dfrac{3}{6})^2

= ( \dfrac{1}{6}) \times  ( \dfrac{3}{6})^2

= \dfrac{9}{216}

∴

The probability of two 1's and two 4's in both dies = P( two 1s and two 4s | first dice ) P( first dice ) + P( two 1s and two 4s | second dice ) P( second dice )

The probability of two 1's and two 4's in both die = \dfrac{1}{216} \times \dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{9}{216} \times \dfrac{1}{2}

The probability of two 1's and two 4's in both die = \dfrac{1}{432}  + \dfrac{1}{48}

The probability of two 1's and two 4's in both die = \dfrac{5}{216}

By applying  Bayes Theorem; the probability that the die was green can be calculated as:

P(second die (green) | two 1's and two 4's )  = The probability of two 1's and two 4's | second dice)P (second die) ÷ P(two 1's and two 4's in both die)

P(second die (green) | two 1's and two 4's )  = \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{9}{216}}{\dfrac{5}{216}}

P(second die (green) | two 1's and two 4's )  = \dfrac{0.5 \times 0.04166666667}{0.02314814815}

P(second die (green) | two 1's and two 4's )  = 0.9

Thus; the probability the die chosen was green is 0.9

For a moving object, the force acting on the object varies directly with the object's acceleration. When a force of 20 N acts on
jeka94

The acceleration of the object will be 10 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct variation is a relationship between two variables that can be expressed by an equation in which one variable is equal to a constant times the other

  • If y varies directly with x, then y ∝ x
  • y = k x, where k is the constant of variation

For a moving object, the force acting on the object varies directly with the object's acceleration.

Assume that the force is F and the acceleration is a

∵ F ∝ a

∴ F = k a

∵ F = 20 newtons

∵ a = 4 m/s²

- Substitute these values in the equation above to find k

∵ 20 = k (4)

∴ 20 = 4 k

- Divide both sides by 4

∴ k = 5

- Substitute the value of k in the equation

∴ F = 5 a ⇒ equation of variation

∵ F = 50 Newtons

∵ F = 5 a

∴ 50 = 5 a

- Divide both sides by 5

∴ 10 = a

∴ a = 10 m/s²

The acceleration of the object will be 10 m/s²
