URGENT PLEASE HELP 45 POINTS! Complete this activity. Given: f(x) = x + 2 <br><br> [f(x)] 2 =
ivanzaharov [21]

We are told that f(x) = x + 2. We want to find (f(x))^{2}.

Squaring f(x) on one side means we square x + 2 on the other.

So,

f(x) = x + 2

(f(x))² = (x + 2)²

= (x + 2)(x + 2)

We can use FOIL to square x + 2. The first terms multiply to x², the outside terms to 2x, the inside terms to 2x and the last terms to 4.

= x² + 2x + 2x + 4

= x² + 4x + 4


So [f(x)]² = x² + 4x + 4

An unfair coin with​ Pr[H] = 0.2 is flipped. If the flip results in a​ head, a marble is selected at random from a urn containin
satela [25.4K]
Normally when dealing with coins the probability of getting heads or tails is 0.5 each. However in this case since its an unfair coin, the probability of getting heads is 0.2. 
H - head 
T - tails
R - red marble
pr (H) = 0.2
urn
6 red and 4 blue
pr (T)   = 0.8
urn
3 red and 5 blue

when heads is obtained 
red - 6/10 -0.6
blue - 4/10 - 0.4
therefore when multiplying with 0.2 probability of getting heads
pr (R ∩ H) red - 0.6*0.2 = 0.12

when tails is obtained 
red - 3/8 - 0.375
blue - 5/8 - 0.625
when multiplying with 0.8 probability of getting tails
pr (R ∩ T) red - 0.375 * 0.8 = 0.3

using bayes rule the answer can be found out, 
the following equation is used;
pr (H | R) = pr (R ∩ H) / {pr (R ∩ H) + pr (R ∩ T)}
               = 0.12 / (0.12 + 0.3)
               = 0.12 / 0.42
               = 0.286
the final answer is 0.286

3/8 is 4 &amp; 3/5 % of what number? (Round to the nearest hundredth.)
Harman [31]

Answer:

n = 8.15

Step-by-step explanation:

3/8 is 4 & 3/5 % of what number?

Rewrite this as:    3/8 is (4  3/5)% of what number?

Convert 4 3/5% into a decimal:  0.046

Then write out and solve the equation 3/8 = 0.046n, where n is the unknown number.

Dividing both sides by 0.046, we get n = 8.15
