The probability that the first horse wins is 2/7. The probability that the second horse wins is 3/10. Since the events that the first horse wins and the second horse wins are shared exclusive, the probability that either the first horse or the second horse will win is :

2/7 + 3/10= 41/70

Hope this is correct.

Raul is making chocolate chip pancakes. The number of chocolate chips he uses is proportional to how many ounces of mix he makes
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

12 = 5k/2

24 = 5k

Step-by-step explanation:

Raul is making chocolate chip pancakes.

The number of chocolate chips he uses is proportional to how many ounces of mix he makes.

Hence,

Chocolate chips ∝ Number of Ounces

Chocolate chips = c

Number of Ounces = m

= cm

c = km

Where k = Constant of Proportionality

The recipe said that for every 2 1/2 ounces of the mix, 12 chocolate chips be added.

Hence

12 = 21/2 × k

12 = 5/2 × k

12 = 5k/2

Cross multiply

12 × 2 = 5k

24 = 5k

The equation that represents the relationship between c the number of chocolate chips and m the number of ounces is

12 = 5k/2

24 = 5k

What is the maximum number of possible extreme values for the function f(x)=x^4+x^3-7x^2-x+6
notka56 [123]

A 4th degree polynomial will have at most 3 extreme values. Since the degree is even, there will be one global extreme, with possible multiplicity. The remainder, if any, will be local extremes that may be coincident with each other and/or the global extreme.


(The number of extremes corresponds to the degree of the derivative, which is 1 less than the degree of the polynomial.)
