Well, is namely just their sum, let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to "improper" and then add them,

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{7\frac{2}{3}}\implies \cfrac{7\cdot 3+2}{3}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{23}{3}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{9\frac{3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{9\cdot 4+3}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{39}{4}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{23}{3}+\cfrac{39}{4}\qquad \stackrel{LCD~of~12}{\implies }\qquad \cfrac{4(23)+3(39)}{12}\implies \cfrac{92+117}{12}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{209}{12}\implies 17\frac{5}{12}

Enter the expression N0e−λt, where N0 is N-naught (an N with a subscript zero) and λ is the lowercase Greek letter lambda.
Natali5045456 [20]
So the question tells to express the expression in your problem where N0 is N-naught and the symbol represent the lower case Greek letter lambda. So the best answer or expression would be that the lambda is the wavelength of the expression. I hope you are satisfied with my answer

Identify the 34th term of the arithmetic sequence 2, 7, 12
torisob [31]
The equation is AN=A1+D(N-1) A1 being the first number (2) D being the difference (in this case 5) and N being the nth term to find (34) so here you have AN=2+5(34-1) then AN=2+5(33). the answer here is 167.

The probability that a student uses Smarthinking Online Tutoring on a regular basis is 0.31 . In a group of 21 students, what is
Ivenika [448]

Answer: 0.0241

Step-by-step explanation:

This is solved using the probability distribution formula for random variables where the combination formula for selection is used to determine the probability of these random variables occurring. This formula is denoted by:

P(X=r) = nCr × p^r × q^n-r

Where:

n = number of sampled variable which in this case = 21

r = variable outcome being determined which in this case = 5

p = probability of success of the variable which in this case = 0.31

q= 1- p = 1 - 0.31 = 0.69

P(X=5) = 21C5 × 0.31^5 × 0.69^16

P(X=5) = 0.0241
