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.

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)}

Find fog(x) when f(x) = 2x² + x and g(x) = 3x + 2
nekit [7.7K]
For fog or f(g(x)), plug g(x) into f(x):

2(3x+2)²+x

Then simplify:

2( (3x+2)(3x+2) )+x

2( 9x²+12x+4 )+x

18x²+24x+8 +x

18x²+25x+8

Then you can simplify this further using factoring methods to:

(2x+1)(9x+8)

Hope this helps!! :)

Ms walkers science class is doing an egg drop experiment from the balcony of their school. Each egg is protected by a contraptio
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The zeros, -1.48 and 1.48, represent the times where the egg is on the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

The roots, or zeros, of an expression are the x-intercepts.  They are the points where the data crosses the x-axis.  The y-coordinate at these points is 0.  This means the height of the egg at these points is 0.

The values of a, b and c in this equation are -16, 0 and 35.  Using the quadratic formula,

x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\=\frac{-0\pm \sqrt{0^2-4(-16)(35)}}{2(-16)}\\\\=\frac{0\pm \sqrt{0--2240}}{-32}\\\\=\frac{0\pm \sqrt{2240}}{-32}\\\\=\frac{0\pm 47.33}{-32}\\\\=\frac{0+47.33}{-32}\text{ or }\frac{0-47.33}{-32}\\\\=\frac{47.33}{-32}\text{ or }\frac{-47.33}{32}\\\\=-1.48\text{ or }1.48
