A college library has five copies of a certain text on reserve. Three copies (1, 2, and 3) are first printings, and the remainin

g two (4, and 5) are second printings. A student examines these books in random order, stopping only when a second printing has been selected. One possible outcome is 4, and another is 214. (a) List the outcomes in S. (b) Let A denote the event that exactly one book must be examined. What outcomes are in A

Answer:

S = { (4), (5), (1,4), (1,5), (2,4), (2,5), (3,4), (3,5), (1,2,3,4), (1,2,3,5), (2,1,3,4) (2,1,3,5), (3,1,2,4), (3,1,2,5) }

A ={(4), (5)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Among the three copies, (1,2,3) are the first printings, and (4,5) are the second printings.

A student who examines these books in random order stops when a second printing has been selected.

Thus, we can compute the sample space associated with these experiments as:

S = { (4), (5), (1,4), (1,5), (2,4), (2,5), (3,4), (3,5), (1,2,3,4), (1,2,3,5), (2,1,3,4) (2,1,3,5), (3,1,2,4), (3,1,2,5) }

Suppose A represents the event that we must examine exactly one book.

Then the outcomes of A are:

A ={(4), (5)}

Determine which function has the greatest rate of change as x approaches infinity.
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer: h(x) = 3*x^2 - 7*x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of a function is equal to the derivate:

remember that a derivate of the form:

k(x) = a*x^n is k'(x) = n*a*x^(n-1)

Then we have:

f(x) = 2*x - 10

f'(x) = 1*2* = 2

g(x) = 16*x - 4

g'(x) = 1*16 = 16

h(x) = 3*x^2 - 7*x + 8

h'(x) = 2*3*x - 1*7 = 6*x - 7

So the only that increases as x increases is h(x), this means that the greates rate of change as x approaches inffinity is the rate of change of h(x)

sammi is trying to wrap a gift for her brother. the gift fits into a cube-shaped box with a side length of 9 inches. how many sq
Flauer [41]

Answer:

A=486\ \text{inches}^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a cube shaped box is given by :

A=6s^2

Where

s is the side length and A is the surface area

We have, s = 9 inches

So,

A=6\times (9)^2\\\\A=486\ \text{inches}^2

So, the required area is 486\ \text{inches}^2.
