Answer:

1) B

2) 2 1/8 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

1) make the denominator the same so it is 5 4/12 minus 2 9/12. You get 2 7/12 which is greater than 2 1/2 (2 6/12) and smaller th an 3

2) 8 7/8 minus 6 3/4 is equivalent to 8 7/8 minus 6 6/8 which is 2 1/8

All done mentally.

The graph represents the function (check picture)

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

a = 1 and b = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets look to the graph to solve the problem

- f(x) is a rational function with:

# numerator ⇒ x² - 4x + 3

# denominator ⇒ x² + ax + b

- To find the values of a and b lets use the hole and the vertical

asymptote in the graph of the function

∵ There is a hole at x = 3

- The hole appears when the numerator and the denominator have

a common factor

∵ x = 3 ⇒ subtract 3 from both sides

∴ x - 3 = 0

∴ The numerator and the denominator have a factor (x - 3)

- The vertical asymptotes appear at the zeros of the denominator

that means the values of x when the denominator = 0

∵ There is a vertical asymptote at x = -4

∵ x = -4 ⇒ add 4 for both sides

∴ x + 4 = 0

∴ The denominator has another factor (x + 4)

- The denominator x² + ax + b has two factors (x - 3) and (x + 4) lets

multiply them to find the value of a and b

∵ (x - 3)(x + 4) = (x)(x) + (x)(4) + (-3)(x) +(-3)(4)

∴ (x - 3)(x + 4) = x² + 4x - 3x - 12 = x² + x - 12

∴ x² + ax + b = x² + x - 12

- By comparing the two sides

∴ a = 1 and b = -12

Naval intelligence reports that 4 enemy vessels in a fleet of 17 are carrying nuclear weapons. If 9 vessels are randomly targete

icang [17]

Answer:

0.7588 = 75.88% probability that more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed

Step-by-step explanation:

The vessels are destroyed without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

In this question:

Fleet of 17 means that $N = 17$

4 are carrying nucleas weapons, which means that $k = 4$

9 are destroyed, which means that $n = 9$

What is the probability that more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed?

This is:

$P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X \leq 1)$

In which

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

$P(X = 0) = h(0,17,9,4) = \frac{C_{4,0}*C_{13,9}}{C_{17,9}} = 0.0294$

$P(X = 1) = h(1,17,9,4) = \frac{C_{4,1}*C_{13,8}}{C_{17,9}} = 0.2118$

Then

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0294 + 0.2118 = 0.2412$

$P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X \leq 1) = 1 - 0.2412 = 0.7588$

0.7588 = 75.88% probability that more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed
