Hello from MrBillDoesmath

Answer: multiply each by 1.5 to get the next term.

Discussion: I noticed that 7.5 is 1.5 times 5 -- and 5 is the first number in the sequence. I wondered if that was the pattern so I used Calc to multiply 7.5 by 1.5 and got 11.25. (Looking good). Then I multipled 11.25 by 1.5 and got 16.875.

Regards,

MrB

Factor 125x^3-1000. Show your work.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

The left term is (5x)³.

The right term is 10³.

So, you can use the formula for the factorization of the difference of cubes.

... a³ - b³ = (a-b)(a² +ab +b²)

Here, you have a=5x, b=10, so the factorization is

... 125x³ -1000 = (5x-10)(25x² +50x +100)

A spinner numbered 1 through 12 is spun. Find the probability that

anastassius [24]

Answer:

$\dfrac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event of getting an odd number.

P(A) be the probability of getting an odd number.

Total odd numbers here are 6 i.e. $\{1,3,5,7,9,11\}$

Here, total numbers in the game are 12 i.e $\{1,2,3,....,12\}$ .

Formula for probability of an event E can be observed as:

$P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}$

$P(A) = \dfrac{6}{12}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}$

Let B be the event of getting 11.

P(B) be the probability of getting 11.

Total number of possible cases is 1.

$P(B) = \dfrac{1}{12}$

$P(A \cap B)$ is the probability that we get 11 and an odd number.

Possible number of cases = 1

$P(A\cap B) = \dfrac{1}{12}$

P(B/A) is the probability that we get an 11 given that it is an odd number.

$P(B/A) = \dfrac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{12}}{\dfrac{1}{2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{6}$

Hence, P(B/A) = $\dfrac{1}{6}$
