Answer: x<7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. You are moving the constant, 5, to the right-hand side and changing the sign from a - to a +. Your new inequality is 2x<-12+5.

Step 2. Calculate the sum. You are adding -12 and 5. This is what your new inequality looks like: 2x<-7.

Step 3 (final step). You will now divide both sides by 2, and you will get a final answer of x<-7/2.

Hope this helps!

Every positive number has two square roots , a principal square root and its _____?

lukranit [14]

Definition: The square root of a number is another number, which on multiplying with itself, will give the original number.

Every positive number has two square roots. One square root is positive, while the other is exactly same, but negative. The positive square root of a number is called its principle square root. For example, 10 and -10 are the two square roots of 100, but 10 is called the principle square root.

Hence every positive number has two square roots , a principal square root and its opposite negative.

Answer:

a)8

b)13

Step-by-step explanation:

a) ar = c

a^2+b^2=c^2

4^2+7^2=c^2

16+49 = c2

c = $\sqrt{65}$ ~8

b) sa= c

a2+b2=c2

7^2 + (15-4)^2

A person in a casino decides to play 3 games of blackjack. let w denote a win and l denote a loss. define the event a as "the pe

Ann [662]

Answer: The answer is {(w, l, l), (w, w, l), (w, l, w), (w, w, w), (l, l, w), (l, w, l), (l, w, w)}.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a person in the casino is going to play 3 games of blackjack. Here, 'w' denotes a win and 'l' denotes a loss.

Also, let 'A' be the event that the person wins at least one game of blackjack. Then, the outcomes of Event 'A' are

(i) win in 1st game loss in 2nd game loss in 3rd game

(ii) win in 1st game win in 2nd game loss in 3rd game

(iii) win in 1st game loss in 2nd game win in 3rd game

(iv) win in 1st game win in 2nd game win in 3rd game

(v) loss in 1st game loss in 2nd game win in 3rd game

(vi) loss in 1st game win in 2nd game loss in 3rd game

(vii) loss in 1st game win in 2nd game win in 3rd game

Thus, the outcomes of the event A are (w, l, l), (w, w, l), (w, l, w), (w, w, w), (l, l, w), (l, w, l) and (l, w, w).

Thus, A = {(w, l, l), (w, w, l), (w, l, w), (w, w, w), (l, l, w), (l, w, l), (l, w, w)}.
