Answer:

$8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

He had $60 to spend on sports equipment.

He bought 6 footballs and was left with $7.50

First get the amount used in buying all the footballs

That’s

$60 - $7.50 = $52.5

He bought the 6 balls for $52.5

Therefore, amout paid for each football will be amount spent in buying the footballs divided by number of footballs bought

That’s

$52.5/6 = $8.75

Each football cost $8.75

What two numbers multiply to 44 and add up to 12?
djverab [1.8K]
This pattern of question is always coming up. Since we can't easily guess, then let us set up simultaneous equation for the statements.

let the two numbers be x and y.

Multiply to 44.      x*y = 44 ..........(a)

Add up to 12.      x + y = 12 .........(b)

From (b)

y = 12 - x .......(c)

Substitute (c) into (a)

x*y = 44

x*(12 - x) = 44   

12x - x² = 44

-x² + 12x = 44

-x² + 12x - 44 = 0.       

Multiply both sides by -1

-1(-x² + 12x - 44) = -1*0

x² - 12x + 44 = 0.   

This does not look factorizable, so let us just use quadratic formula

comparing to ax² + bx + c = 0, x² - 12x + 44 = 0,  a = 1, b = -12, c = 44 

x = (-b + √(b² - 4ac)) /2a   or (-b - √(b² - 4ac)) /2a


x = (-(-12) + √((-12)² - 4*1*44) )/ (2*1)    

x = (12 + √(144 - 176) )/ 2

x = (12 + √-32 )/ 2

√-32 = √(-1 *32) = √-1 * √32 = i * √(16 *2) = i*√16 *√2 = i*4*√2 = 4i√2

Where i is a complex number.  Note the equation has two values. We shall include the second, that has negative sign before the square root.

x = (12 + √-32 )/ 2      or     (12 - √-32 )/ 2   

x = (12 + 4i√2 )/ 2              (12 - 4i√2 )/ 2 

x = 12/2 + (4i√2)/2                12/2 - (4i√2)/2

x = 6 + 2i√2            or         6 - 2i√2

Recall equation (c):

y = 12 - x, When x = 6 + 2i√2,  y = 12 - (6 + 2i√2) = 12 - 6 - 2i√2 = 6 - 2i√2

When x = 6 - 2i√2,  y = 12 - (6 - 2i√2) = 12 - 6 + 2i√2 = 6 + 2i√2


x = 6 + 2i√2,  y = 6 - 2i√2

x = 6 - 2i√2,  y = 6 + 2i√2

Therefore the two numbers that multiply to 44 and add up to 12 are:

6 + 2i√2 and 6 - 2i√2

Belle bought 18 seeds in order to plant an herb garden for her grandma. Of the seeds she bought, 10 were parsley seeds.
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

  0.3431

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, it can work well to consider the seeds from the group of 18 that are NOT selected to be part of the group of 15 that are planted.

There are 18C3 = 816 ways to choose 3 seeds from 18 NOT to plant.

We are interested in the number of ways exactly one of the 10 parsley seeds can be chosen NOT to plant. For each of the 10C1 = 10 ways we can ignore exactly 1 parsley seed, there are also 8C2 = 28 ways to ignore two non-parsley seeds from the 8 that are non-parsley seeds.

That is, there are 10×28 = 280 ways to choose to ignore 1 parsley seed and 2 non-parsley seeds.

So, the probability of interest is 280/816 ≈ 0.3431.

___

The notation nCk is used to represent the expression n!/(k!(n-k)!), the number of ways k objects can be chosen from a group of n. It can be pronounced "n choose k".

If f(x) = 3x - 12, what is f(2)?<br>O A. -18<br>O B. -6<br>O c. 6<br>O D. 18​
zhannawk [14.2K]

Replace x with 2:

f(x) = 3x -12:

f(2) = 3(2) - 12

= 6 - 12

= -6

Determine whether or not F is a conservative vector field. If it is, find a function f such that F = ∇f. (If the vector field is
gavmur [86]

If

\nabla f=(ye^x+\sin y)\,\vec\imath+(e^x+x\cos y)\,\vec\jmath

then

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=ye^x+\sin y\implies f(x,y)=ye^x+x\sin y+g(y)

Differentiating with respec to y gives

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=e^x+x\cos y=e^x+x\cos y+g'(y)

\implies g'(y)=0\implies g(y)=C

So F is indeed conservative, and

f(x,y)=ye^x+x\sin y+C
