Add 1/(x-8) to both sides
cross multiply or multply both sides by (5-x)(x-8)
5(x-8)=5-x
distribute
5x-40=4-x
minus x from both sides
4x-40=4
add 40 to both sides
4x=44
divide by 4
x=11

Your neighbor has a bag with 5 oranges and 7 apples in it. You will be receiving two pieces of fruit from your neighbor. What is
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

31.82% probability that you will receive 2 apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fruits are removed from the bag, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x sucesses 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 sucesses.

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:

5 + 7 = 12 total fruits, which means that N = 12

7 apples, which means that k = 7

You receive 2 fruits, which means that n = 2

What is the probability, in percent, that you will receive 2 apples, assuming she removes them from the bag in random order?

This is, as a proportion, P(X = 2). So

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

P(X = 2) = h(2,12,2,7) = \frac{C_{7,2}*C_{5,0}}{C_{12,2}} = 0.3182

0.3182*100% = 31.82%

31.82% probability that you will receive 2 apples.

A function models the growth of a sample starting with 40 bacteria with the ability to double every two hours. Which graph
natima [27]

Answer:

The function is y = 40 * 2^(x/2)

The graph is in the image attached

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that models this growth is an exponencial function, that can be described with the following equation:

y = a * b^(x/n)

Where a is the inicial value, b is the rate of growth, x is the time and n is the relation between the time and the rate (the rate occurs for every two hours, so n = 2).

Then, using a = 40, r = 2 and n = 2, we have:

y = 40 * 2^(x/2)

If we plot this function, we have the graph shown in the image attached,

It is an exponencial graph, where the value of y increases very fast in relation to the increase of x.
