Lets imagine we have 8/2. We all know the answer is 4, because if i have 8 objects and i want to divide them equally amond 2 ppl, each will get 4 objects. However, if the remainder would equal the divisor, one would say 8/2= 4 remainder 4. This means that one person succesfully got the 8 objects, and there are 4 left. But each person needs 4 objects, so the remaining objects can fully satisfy mathematical inductive perpectives, so the person may take the full 4 objects

No, cause the remainder might be bigger than divisor.

What is the sum of x³ + 5x²-7 and
Nitella [24]

The mistake that Danielle made is from the final equation of the polynomial. She did not write the degree of polynomial correctly. It should be 6x⁶ +2x²+ 2x - 8.

<h3>What is polynomial?</h3>

A polynomial is defined as a mathematical expression that has a minimum of two terms containing variables or numbers. A polynomial can have more than one term.

To determine the sum of x³ + 5x²-7 and 5x³ - 3x² + 2x - 1

Danielle's Work :

(x³ + 5x² - 7) + (5x³ - 3x² + 2x - 1)

x³ + 5x³ + 5x² - 3x² + 2x - 7 - 1

6x⁶ +2x⁴ + 2x - 8

She did not write the degree of polynomial correctly

Correct Work :

(x³ + 5x² - 7) + (5x³ - 3x² + 2x - 1)

we have to open the brackets above

x³ + 5x² - 7 + 5x³ - 3x² + 2x - 1

x³ + 5x³ + 5x² - 3x² + 2x - 7 - 1

6x⁶ +2x²+ 2x - 8

Note that Danielle made the error in this step: 6x⁶ +2x⁴ + 2x - 8

The solution for the above is -2x² and not 2x⁴ as she wrote in her final equation.

Hence, the correct polynomial would be 6x⁶ +2x²+ 2x - 8

A stockbroker knows from experience that the probability that a client owns stocks is 0.60. P(A) The probability that a client o
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

the probability of a client owning stocks OR bonds is 0.825

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability of a client owning stocks OR bonds is given below:

= P(stocks) + P(bonds) - P(stocks and bonds)

= 0.60 + 0.50 - (0.55 × 0.50)

= 0.60 + 0.50 - 0.275

= 0.825

Hence, the probability of a client owning stocks OR bonds is 0.825

Marcs is growing three bean plants as part of a science experiment. Plant A 1/3 inch tall. Plant B is 3/4 inch tall. Plant C is
snow_tiger [21]
Shortest to tallest: Plant A, Plant B, Plant C.

Given:
Plant A 1/3 inch tall
Plant B 3/4 inch tall
Plant C 5/6 inch tall

Order from shortest to tallest.

First we need to get the least common multiple of the three fractions.

Multiple of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12
Multiple of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16
Multiple of 6: 6, 12, 18

Their least common multiple is 12. We need to multiply each fraction by the number that will give the product of 12 to the denominator.

Plant A: 1/3 * 4/4 =   4/12
Plant B: 3/4 * 3/3 =   9/12
Plant C: 5/6 * 2/2 = 10/12

Since the denominator is common, we will use the numerator as basis in ordering the plants from shortest to tallest. 

4 is less than 9 and 9 is less than 10.

so, Plant A is the shortest, Plant B is the medium height, and Plant C is the tallest.
