A 6- foot roll of waxed paper costs $3.60. What is the price per inch?

translate the words into a algebraic expression. "twenty-seven more than a number squared" "one less than three times a number"

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

$n^2+27$ and $3n-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

n is a number.

a number squared is $n^2$

27 more than a number squared is $n^2+27$

n is a number.

three times a number is 3 times n, or $3n$

one less than that is $3n-1$

Hope this answer helped! :)

3. The sum of three consecutive numbers<br> is 42. What are the numbers?

Zanzabum

Answer:

13 + 14 + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

n + (n + 1) + (n +2) =42

n + n + n + 1 + 2 = 42

3n + 3 = 42

(subtract 3 from both sides)

3n = 39

(divide both sides by 3)

n = 13

(solve)

n + (n + 1) + (n +2) =42

13 + (13 + 1) + (13 + 2) = 42

13 + (14) + (15) = 42

13, 14, 15

(Hope this helps, have a nice day!)

Which table describes the behavior of the graph of f(x) = 2x3 – 26x – 24?

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

For x∈ {-∞,-3} y<0, below x-axis

x∈ {-3,-1} y>0, above x-axis

x∈ {-1,4} y<0, below x-axis

x∈ {4,∞} y>0, above x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)= $2x^{3}-26x-24$

$2x^{3}-26x-24$ =0

$2x^{3}-26x-24=0\\2x^{3}-2x-24x-24=0\\2x(x^{2} -1)-24(x+1)=0\\2x(x+1)(x-1)-24(x+1)=0\\(x+1)(2x^{2} -2x-24)=0\\=> x+1=0 => x_{1}=-1\\$

$=> 2x^{2} -2x-24=0\\=>2(x^{2} -x-12)=0\\=> x^{2} -x-12=0\\=> x^{2} -4x+3x-12=0\\=> x(x-4)+3(x-4)=0\\=> (x-4)(x+3)=0\\$

$=> x-4=0\\=> x_{2}=4\\=> x+3=0\\=>x_{3}=-3\\$

For x∈ {-∞,-3} y<0, below x-axis

x∈ {-3,-1} y>0, above x-axis

x∈ {-1,4} y<0, below x-axis

x∈ {4,∞} y>0, above x-axis

A couple intends to have two children, and suppose that approximately 52% of births are male and 48% are female.

Pachacha [2.7K]

a) Probability of both being males is 27%

b) Probability of both being females is 23%

c) Probability of having exactly one male and one female is 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The probability that the birth is a male can be written as

$p(m) = 0.52$ (which corresponds to 52%)

While the probability that the birth is a female can be written as

$p(f) = 0.48$ (which corresponds to 48%)

Here we want to calculate the probability that over 2 births, both are male. Since the two births are two independent events (the probability of the 2nd to be a male does not depend on the fact that the 1st one is a male), then the probability of both being males is given by the product of the individual probabilities:

$p(mm)=p(m)\cdot p(m)$

And substituting, we find

$p(mm)=0.52\cdot 0.52 = 0.27$

So, 27%.

b)

In this case, we want to find the probability that both children are female, so the probability

$p(ff)$

As in the previous case, the probability of the 2nd child to be a female is independent from whether the 1st one is a male or a female: therefore, we can apply the rule for independent events, and this means that the probability that both children are females is the product of the individual probability of a child being a female:

$p(ff)=p(f)\cdot p(f)$
