1/13 is the probability of choosing a letter from the word MATH then getting tails.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

A letter of the alphabet is chosen at a random.

The total number of alphabets = 26 letters.

Then a coin is flipped.

The total number of outcomes when a coin is flipped ⇒ Head, Tail = 2.

Now, we need to find the probability of choosing a letter from the word MATH and then getting tails.

<u>Probability of choosing a letter from the word MATH :</u>

P(a letter) = No.of letters in MATH / total number of alphabets.

⇒ 4/26

<u>Probability of getting a tail when a coin is flipped :</u>

P(a tail) = No.of tails / total outcomes.

⇒ 1/2

<u>Probability of choosing a letter from the word MATH then getting tails :</u>

⇒ 4/26 × 1/2

⇒ 4/52

⇒ 1/13

∴ The probability of choosing a letter from the word MATH then getting tails is 1/13.

Mr Thompson please help with my new HW
sesenic [268]

Answers:

  1. C) x = plus/minus 11
  2. B) No real solutions
  3. C) Two solutions
  4. A) One solution
  5. The value <u>  18  </u> goes in the first blank. The value <u>  17  </u> goes in the second blank.

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

Explanations:

  1. Note how (11)^2 = (11)*(11) = 121 and also (-11)^2 = (-11)*(-11) = 121. The two negatives multiply to a positive. So that's why the solution is x = plus/minus 11. The plus minus breaks down into the two equations x = 11 or x = -11.
  2. There are no real solutions here because the left hand side can never be negative, no matter what real number you pick for x. As mentioned in problem 1, squaring -11 leads to a positive number 121. The same idea applies here as well.
  3. The two solutions are x = 0 and x = -2. We set each factor equal to zero through the zero product property. Then we solve each equation for x. The x+2 = 0 leads to x = -2.
  4. We use the zero product property here as well. We have a repeated factor, so we're only solving one equation and that is x-3 = 0 which leads to x = 3. The only root is x = 3.
  5. Apply the FOIL rule on (x+1)(x+17) to end up with x^2+17x+1x+17 which simplifies fully to x^2+18x+17. The middle x coefficient is 18, while the constant term is 17.
