This reduced fraction would be c. x+y/8.
You can apply the Difference of Two Squares Formula (x^2+y^2)=(x+y)(x-y). Then, you can factor out the common term 8 and cancel out the common factor x-y. Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It's too bad about this problem. It's a fair game if you get paid the same amount that you have to pay if you lose.
You win 2 ways
- H - H
- T - T
- Probability 1/2
You lose 2 ways.
- H - T
- T - H
- Probability 1/2
Expectation
E = 1/2 * 3 - 1/2 * 4
E = 1.5 - 2
E = -0.5
Which means that you should expect to lose 0.5 dollars every time you play this dreadful game.
Answer:
<em>t = 1.51</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Exponential Model</u>
The exponential model is often used to simulate the behavior of a magnitude that either grow or decay in proportion to the existing amount of that magnitude.
The model can be expressed as

In this case, Mo is the initial mass of the radioactive substance and k is a constant which value is positive if the mass is growing or negative if the mass is decaying.
The value of k is not precisely given in the question, we are assuming 
The model is now

We are required to compute the time it takes the mass to reach one-half of its initial value:

Simplifying

Taking logarithms

Solving for t

Answer:
Billie's age = x = 17 years
Tony's age = y = 31 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Billie's age = x
Tony's age = y
Twice Billie’s age decreased by 3 is Tony’s age.
y = 2x - 3..... Equation 1
Tony is fourteen years older than Billie.
x = y - 14
We substitute y - 14 for x in Equation 1
y = 2x - 3..... Equation 1
y = 2(y - 14) - 3
y = 2y - 28 - 3
y - 2y = -28 - 3
-y = -31
y = 31 years
Solving for x
x = y - 14
x = 31 - 14
x = 17 years.
Therefore:
Billie's age = x = 17 years
Tony's age = y = 31 years
