A student said we cannot subtract 1,97 from 20 because 1.97 has two decimal digits and 20 has none. Do u agree with him?

Answer:

I do not agree with him.

Step-by-step explanation:

even though 20 has no visible decimal digits it has an infinite amount of zeros in the decimal digits. since 1.97 has two digits, then we can just write 20 as 20.00

20.00

-  1.97

_____

 18.03

proof:

18.03

+1. 97

______

20.00

Assume that a company hires employees on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Wednesdays with equal likelihood.a. If two different employees ar
horsena [70]

Answer:

P(A) = \frac{1}{9}

P(B) = \frac{1}{3}

P(C) = \frac{1}{729}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

Only employees are hired during the first 3 days of the week with equal probability.

2 employees are selected at random.

So:

A. The probability that an employee has been hired on a Monday is:

P(M) = \frac{1}{3}.

If we call P(A) the probability that 2 employees have been hired on a Monday, then:

P(A) =P(M\ and\ M)\\\\P(A)=( \frac{1}{3})(\frac{1}{3})\\\\P(A) = \frac{1}{9}

B. We now look for the probability that two selected employees have been hired on the same day of the week.

The probability that both are hired on a Monday, for example, we know is P(A) = \frac{1}{9}. We also know that the probability of being hired on a Monday is equal to the probability of being hired on a Tuesday or on a Wednesday. But if both were hired on the same day, then it could be a Monday, a Tuesday or a Wednesday.

So

P(B) = \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{9}\\\\P(B) = \frac{1}{3}.

C. If the probability that two people have been hired on a specific day of the week is 3(\frac{1}{3}) ^ 2, then the probability that 7 people have been hired on the same day is:

P(C) = (\frac{1}{3}) ^ 7 + (\frac{1}{3}) ^ 7 + (\frac{1}{3}) ^ 7\\\\P(C) = \frac{1}{729}

D. The probability is \frac{1}{729}. This number is quite close to zero. Therefore it is an unlikely bastate event.

Find the value of x in a triangle . If the hypotenuse of the triangle is 10 , the opposite is x+2 and the adjacent is x.​
Sauron [17]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , that is

x² + (x + 2)² = 10² ← expand parenthesis on left side and simplify

x² + x² + 4x + 4 = 100 ( subtract 100 from both sides )

2x² + 4x - 96 = 0 ( divide through by 2 )

x² + 2x - 48 = 0

(x + 8)(x - 6) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

however, x > 0 , then x = 6

Which set of numbers best describes the possible values of x in the equation below?[x-1]=[x] all integer values of x all real nu
SCORPION-xisa [38]

[x] represents floor function also called as Greatest integer function.

Floor function is the function that takes as input a real number and gives as output the greatest integer less than or equal to.

like [1.5]=1

[0.7]=0

[-0.3]=-1

Now we have to find set of x-values which satisfies equation [x-1]=[x]

Due to -1 in [x-1], it always produces output value one less than value of [x]

for example when x=0.5 then [x]=[0.5]=0, [x-1]=[0.5-1]=[-0.5]=-1

when x=1.5 then [x]=[1.5]=1, [x-1]=[1.5-1]=[0.5]=0

when x=3 then [x]=[3]=3, [x-1]=[3-1]=[2]=2

From above results we can see that there is no value of x which satisfies the given equation [x-1]=[x]

Hence there is NO solution.
