Answer:

The answer is b. 25/216

Step-by-step explanation:

Bill wants to see how many times he needs to roll a standard number cube before getting a 5.

p = \frac{1}{6} (on an average: roll 6 times before getting a 5)

The required probability can be found as :

\frac{1}{5}(\frac{5}{6}* \frac{5}{6}* \frac{5}{6})

= \frac{5}{6}* \frac{5}{6}* \frac{1}{6}

= \frac{25}{216}

So, the answer is b. 25/216

Find the domain of the rational function.<br><br> C(x) = x+9/X^2 -16
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Domain = {x : x ≠ 4 , -4}  or  (-∞ , -4) ∪ (-4 , 4) ∪ (4 , ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>TO FIND :-</u>

  • Domain of C(x) = \frac{x + 9}{x^2 - 16}

<u>SOLUTION :-</u>

Domain of a function is a value for which the function is valid.

The function C(x) = \frac{x + 9}{x^2 - 16} is valid until the denominator is 0.

So make sure that the denominator must not be 0.

=> x^2 - 16 > 0

Find the values of x for which the denominator becomes 0. To find it , you'll have to solve the above inequality.

  • Add 16 to both the sides

=>x^2 - 16 + 16 > 0 + 16

=> x^2 > 16

=> x > \sqrt{16}

=> \boxed{x > 4} \: or \:\boxed{x > -4}

We can say that <u>4 & -4 can't be domains</u> because these values will make the function undefined.

Now try putting values of x such that -4 < x < 4. You'll observe that the function will be valid for all those values of x between -4 & 4.

<u>CONCLUSION :-</u>

The function will be valid for any value of 'x' except 4 & -4. So in :-

Interval notation , it can be written as → (-∞ , -4) ∪ (-4 , 4) ∪ (4 , ∞)

Set builder notation , it can be written as → {x : x ≠ 4 , -4}
