Alison is playing a video game. At the end of each level, the player is given either a bag of gold or a magic wand.

Shkiper50 [21]

Outcome Bag of Gold Magic Wand

Relative frequency 0.32 0.68

The relative frequency of getting a bag of gold is .......... reasonably close

.32 is close to 30% so

Alison's claim about the theoretical probability is likely to be 2............true

Further, this means that the theoretical probability of getting a magic wand is most likely 3............1 - 30% = 70%

2 taps A and B can fill a swimming pool in 3 hours. If turned on alone, it takes tap A 5 hours less than tap B to fill the same

vazorg [7]

Answer:

Tap A will take 2 hours and tap B will take 6 hours to fill the tank when turned on alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let tap B fills the pool alone in the time = x hours

So in one hour part of pool will be filled = $\frac{1}{x}$

Another tap A when turned on, it takes time to fill the pool = x-5 hours

So in one hour part of the same pool filled = $\frac{1}{x-5}$

Now both the taps A and B are turned on then time taken to fill the pool = 3 hours.

Part of the pool filled in one hour by both the taps = $\frac{1}{3}$

Now we form an equation

Part of pool filled in one hour by tap A + Part of pool filled in one hour by tap B = Part of pool filled in one hour by both the taps when turned on

$\frac{1}{(x-5)}+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{x-5+1}{x(x-5)}=\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{x-4}{x(x-5)}=\frac{1}{3}$

3(x - 4) = x(x - 5)

x² -5x = 3x - 12

x² - 8x + 12 = 0

x² - 6x - 2x + 12 = 0

x(x - 6) - 2(x - 6) = 0

(x -2)(x - 6) = 0

x = 2, 6 hours

We will take higher value of x as x = 6 hours for tap B.

Time taken by tap A = 6 - 4 = 2 hours.

Therefore, Tap A will take 2 hours and tap B will take 6 hours to fill the tank when turned on alone.

How can I factor 5x^2 + 26x - 24 = 0 using the completing the square method.

<h2><u>QUADRATIC EQUATION</u></h2>

<h2> $\mathbb{ANSWER:}$ </h2>

$\bold{x = 0.8 \: } \: \sf \: {\color{grey}or} \: \: \: \bold{ x= \frac{4}{5} } \\$

$\bold{x = - 6}$

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

<u>How can </u><u>we</u><u> factor 5x^2 + 26x - 24 = 0 using the completing the square </u><u>method?</u>

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

$\bold{Given \: Equation: \color{brown} 5x²+26x-24=0}$

First, add 24 to both sides.

$\bold{5x²+26x-24 - \purple{ 24} = 0 + \purple{24}}$

$\bold{ \implies \: 5x²+26x = 24 }$

Since the coefficient of 5x² is 5, divide both sides by 5.

$\bold{ \frac{5 {x}^{2} + 26x }{5} = \frac{24}{5} } \\$

$\bold{ \implies \: {x}^{2} + \frac{26}{5} x = \frac{24}{5} } \\$

The coefficient of 26/5x is 26/5. So, let b=26/5.

Then we need to add (b/2)²=169/25 to both sides to complete the square.

Add 169/25 to both sides.

$\bold{ {x}^{2} + \frac{26}{5} x + \frac{ \purple{169}}{ \purple{25}}= \frac{24}{5} + \frac{ \purple{169}}{ \purple{25}} } \\$

$\bold{ \implies \:\bold{ {x}^{2} + \frac{26}{5} x + \frac{ 169}{ {25}}= \frac{289}{25} } } \\$

Factor the left side.

$\bold{(x + \frac{13}{5} ) {}^{2} = \frac{289}{25} } \\$

Take square root.

$\bold{x + \frac{13}{5} = ± \: \sqrt{ \frac{289}{25} }} \\$

Then, add (-13)/5 to both sides.

$\bold{x + \frac{13}{5} + \frac{\purple{ - 13} }{\purple{ 5}} = \frac{{ - 13} }{{ 5}} ± \: \sqrt{ \frac{289}{25}}} \\$

$\bold{ \: x = \frac{ - 13}{5} ± \sqrt{ \frac{289}{25} } } \\$

$\implies \: \underline{ \boxed{ \bold{ \frac{4}{5} } \sf \: \: or \: \: \bold{ x = - 6}}} \\$
