Answer:
(x, y) = (-3, -13) or (-8, -23)
Step-by-step explanation:
The values for y can be equated and the resulting quadratic solved by factoring.
2x -7 = x^2 +13x +17
0 = x^2 +11x +24 . . . . . . subtract 2x-7
0 = (x +8)(x +3) . . . . . . . .factor*
The values of x that make these factors zero are x=-8 and x=-3. The corresponding values of y are ...
y = 2(-8) -7 = -23
y = 2(-3) -7 = -13
The solutions are ...
(x, y) = (-8, -23) and (-3, -13)
_____
* The constants in the binomial factors are factors of 24 that total 11. You know that ...
24 = 1×24 = 2×12 = 3×8 = 4×6
The sums of these factors are 25, 14, 11, 10. The factors 3 and 8 are the constants in the binomial factors of the quadratic.
"24" is the constant in the quadratic. "11" is the coefficient of the x term.
In this problem, we can imagine that all the points
connect to form a triangle. The three point or vertices are located on the
pitcher mount, the home plate and where the outfielder catches the ball. So in
this case we are given two sides of the triangle and the angle in between the
two sides.
<span>With the following conditions, we can use the cosine law
to solve for the unknown 3rd side. The formula is:</span>
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 – 2 a b cos θ
Where,
a = 60.5 ft
b = 195 ft
θ = 32°
Substituting the given values:
c^2 = (60.5)^2 + (195)^2 – 2 (60.5) (195) cos 32
c^2 = 3660.25 + 38025 – 20009.7
c^2 = 21,675.56
c = 147.23 ft
<span>Therefore the outfielder throws the ball at a distance of
147.23 ft towards the home plate.</span>
Answer:
0.323 = 32.3% probability that the director chooses 3 boy kittens and 5 girl kittens.
Step-by-step explanation:
The kittens are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.
Hypergeometric distribution:
The probability of x sucesses is given by the following formula:
In which:
x is the number of sucesses.
N is the size of the population.
n is the size of the sample.
k is the total number of desired outcomes.
Combinations formula:
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
A TV studio has brought in 8 boy kittens and 10 girl kittens for a cat food commercial.
This means that 
We want 3 boys, so 
The director is going to choose 8 of these kittens at random to be in the commercial.
This means that 
What is the probability that the director chooses 3 boy kittens and 5 girl kittens?
This is P(X = 3).
0.323 = 32.3% probability that the director chooses 3 boy kittens and 5 girl kittens.
The sum of all edges is 108 cm.
There are two bases whose edges are all 8 cm; this gives us 8(4)+8(4) = 32+32=64.
There are 4 edges between bases that are 11 cm each; 11(4) = 44
Together, this gives us 64+44=108 cm.
