Answer:

(a)1/6

(b)1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the cubes are numbered from 1 to 6.

The possible outcomes are:

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

Total number of possible Outcomes=36

<u>Part A</u>

Probability that the sum of the number cubes is 7.

The outcomes that sums up to 7 are:

(1,6) (2,5) (3,4) (4,3) (5,2) (6,1)

Number of outcomes=6

Therefore:

P(sum of the number cubes is 7)=6/36=1/6

<u>Part B</u>

The sum of the number cubes is less than 4.

Outcomes in which the sum is less than 4 are:

(1,1) (1,2) (2,1)

Number of outcomes=3

Therefore:

P(sum of the number cubes is less than 4)=3/36=1/12

According to the Rational Root Theorem, what are all the potential rational roots of f(x) = 5x3 – 7x + 11?
iogann1982 [59]

ANSWER

\pm1,\pm11,\pm \frac{1}{5} \pm \frac{11}{5}

EXPLANATION

The given function is;

f(x) = 5 {x}^{2}  - 7x + 11

The constant term is 11.

The coefficient of the leading term is 5.

The factors of 11 are ±1,±11

The factors of 5 are ±1,±5

According to the Rational roots Theorem,

the potential roots are obtained by expressing the factors of the constant term over the coefficient of the leading term.

\pm1,\pm11,\pm \frac{1}{5} \pm \frac{11}{5}

lyudmila [28]

137 - 16X = Y

Since Lorraine is picking blackberries in her backyard at a rate of 15 berries per minute, and after 16 minutes of picking, there are still 137 blackberries left to pick, to determine an equation that models how many berries are left (y) after x minutes of picking, the following calculation must be performed:

137 - 16X = Y

Thus, for example, after 5 minutes the calculation would be as follows:

  • 137 - 16 x 5 = Y
  • 137 - 80 = Y
  • 57 = Y

dexar [7]

Answer: Anything between 0 and 10, excluding both endpoints.

In terms of symbols we can say 0 < w < 10 where w is the width.

===================================================

Explanation:

You could do this with two variables, but I think it's easier to instead use one variable only. This is because the length is dependent on what you pick for the width.

w = width

2w = twice the width

2w-5 = five less than twice the width = length

So,

  • width = w
  • length = 2w-5

which lead to

area = length*width

area = (2w-5)*w

area = 2w^2-5w

area < 150

2w^2 - 5w < 150

2w^2 - 5w - 150 < 0

To solve this inequality, we will solve the equation 2w^2-5w-150 = 0

Use the quadratic formula. Plug in a = 2, b = -5, c = -150

w = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\w = \frac{-(-5)\pm\sqrt{(-5)^2-4(2)(-150)}}{2(2)}\\\\w = \frac{5\pm\sqrt{1225}}{4}\\\\w = \frac{5\pm35}{4}\\\\w = \frac{5+35}{4} \ \text{ or } \ w = \frac{5-35}{4}\\\\w = \frac{40}{4} \ \text{ or } \ w = \frac{-30}{4}\\\\w = 10 \ \text{ or } \ w = -7.5\\\\

Ignore the negative solution as it makes no sense to have a negative width.

The only practical root is w = 10.

If w = 10 feet, then the area = 2w^2-5w results in 150 square feet.

----------------------

Based on that root, we need to try a sample value that is to the left of it.

Let's say we try w = 5.

2w^2 - 5w < 150

2*5^2 - 5*5 < 150

25 < 150 ... which is true

This shows that if 0 < w < 10, then 2w^2-5w < 150 is true.

Now try something to the right of 10. I'll pick w = 15

2w^2 - 5w < 150

2*15^2 - 5*15 < 150

375 < 150 ... which is false

It means w > 10 leads to 2w^2-5w < 150  being false.

Therefore w > 10 isn't allowed if we want 2w^2-5w < 150 to be true.

BC = 6x + 6,<br> AB = 8 +9, and<br> AC = 141.<br> Find BC
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer: 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Since AB and BC creates AC, we can add them together to find x, then use that to find the value of BC.

8x+9+6x+6=141                  [combine like terms]

14x+15=141                          [subtract both sides by 15]

14x=126                               [divide both sides by 14]

x=9

Now that we have found the value of x, we can plug that into BC.

6(9)+6                                 [multiply]

54+6                                   [add]

60

Now, we know the length of BC is 60.
