Answer:

6 and - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2 - 2x - 24 = 0 \\\ \Delta = (- 2)^2 - 4.1.(- 24) \\\ \Delta = 4 + 96 \\\ \Delta = 100 \\\ x' = \frac{- (- 2) + \sqrt{100}}{2.1} \\\\ x' = \frac{2 + 10}{2} \\\\ x' = 6 \\\ x" = \frac{- (- 2) - \sqrt{100}}{2.1} \\\\ x" = \frac{2 - 10}{2} \\\\ x" = - 4$

I hope I helped you.

Luke is 5 years younger than 3 times Sydney’s age, s . in this situation , what does 3s represent?

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

3.s is 3 times the age of Sydney's which is equals to Luke age + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Sydney’s age, s

and also Luke is 5 years younger than 3 times Sydney’s age.

Sydney's 3 times age is 3.s

Luke age = Sydney's 3 times age - 5

Luke age=3.s-5 ⇒ 3.s = Luke age + 5

Hence, 3.s is 3 times the age of Sydney's which is equals to Luke age + 5

Need help with question 13B i can not figure it out please help.

Vsevolod [243]

Short Answer 10
The tough part is the number of drinks.
Let the number of them be x
4.5 x + 3 + (10/100) * (4.5x + 3) + (7/100) * (4.5 x + 3) ≤ 60

The tip is not included in the tax, and the tax does not include the tip. You can shorten this up quite a bit.
4.5 x + 3 + (10/100) * (4.5x + 3) + (7/100) * (4.5 x + 3) ≤ 60
(1 + 10/100 + 7 /100) (4.5x + 3) ≤ 60 Combine the tax, tip, scone and Lattes

(1.17) * (4.5x + 3) ≤ 60 Divide by 1.17
4.5x + 3 ≤ 60 / 1.17
4.5x + 3 ≤ 51.28 Subtract 3
4.5x ≤ 48.28 Divide by 4.5
x ≤ 48.28 / 4.5
x ≤ 10.72

Discussion.
There's a problem. He can't buy 0.72 of a Latte. He can only buy 10 of them. In this case we must round down so what happens if he buys 10 lattes? Does the price the taxes and the tip allow him to get another Latte? The answer should be no because then you would be 11 lattes and the tip and taxes would push you over 60 dollars. But be careful, sometimes things like this can alter you answer..

A tattoo enthusiast website claims that :

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The probability that a person is a Millennial given that they have tattoos is 0.5069 (50.69%) or about 0.51 (51%).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have here a case where we need to use Bayes' Theorem and all conditional probabilities related. Roughly speaking, a conditional probability is a kind of probability where an event determines the occurrence of another event. Mathematically:

$\\ P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}$

In the case of the Bayes' Theorem, we have also a conditional probability where one event is the sum of different probabilities.

We have a series of different probabilities that we have to distinguish one from the others:

The probability that a person has a tattoo assuming that is a Millennial is:

$\\ P(T|M) = 0.47$

The probability that a person has a tattoo assuming that is of Generation X is:

$\\ P(T|X) = 0.36$

The probability that a person has a tattoo assuming that is of Boomers is:

$\\ P(T|B) = 0.13$

The probability of being of Millennials is:

$\\ P(M) = 0.22$

The probability of being of Generation X is:

$\\ P(X) = 0.20$

The probability of being of Boomers is:

$\\ P(B) = 0.22$

Therefore, the probability of the event of having a tattoo P(T) is:

$\\ P(T) = P(T|M)*P(M) + P(T|X)*P(X) + P(T|B)*P(B)$

$\\ P(T) = 0.47*0.22 + 0.36*0.20 + 0.13*0.22$

$\\ P(T) = 0.204$

For non-independent events that happen at the same time, we can say that the probability of occurring simultaneously is:

$\\ P(M \cap T) = P(M|T)*P(T)$

$\\ P(T \cap M) = P(T|M)*P(M)$

But

$\\ P(M \cap T) = P(T \cap M)$

Then

$\\ P(M|T)*P(T) = P(T|M)*P(M)$

We are asked for the probability that a person is a Millennial given or assuming that they have tattoos or P(M | T). Solving the previous formula for the latter:

$\\ P(M|T)*P(T) = P(T|M)*P(M)$

$\\ P(M|T) = \frac{P(T|M)*P(M)}{P(T)}$

We have already know that

$\\ P(T|M) = 0.47\;P(M) = 0.22\;and\;P(T) = 0.204$ .

Therefore

$\\ P(M|T) = \frac{0.47*0.22}{0.204}$

$\\ P(M|T) = 0.50686 \approx 0.51$

Thus, the probability that a person is a Millennial given that they have tattoos is 0.5069 (50.69%) or about 0.51 (51%).
