Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

45 = (b(4b - 2))/2

90 = 4b2 - 2b

4b2 - 2b - 90 = 0

(2b + 9)(2b - 10) = 0

 

2b + 9 = 0  

2b = -9

b = -9/2

If we were looking for zeroes, this would be an answer, but since we're looking for measurement, we don't use negative numbers.

90 = 4b2 - 2b

4b2 - 2b - 90 = 0

(2b + 9)(2b - 10) = 0

 

2b + 9 = 0  

2b = -9

b = -9/2

Answer:

The width is 5 inches and the height is 18 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle can be calculated as:

A = w*h/2

where w is the width of the base, and h is the height.

then we have that:

w*h/2 = 45 in^2

and the height is 2 less than 4 times the width.

h = 4*w - 2in

then we have a system with 2 equations:

w*h/2 = 45 in^2

h = 4*w - 2in

We can replace the second one in the first one and solve it for w.

w*(4*2 - 2in)/2 = 45 in^2

2w^2 - w = 45in^2

2w^2 - w - 45in = 0

then we have to solve the quadratic equation:

the solutions are:

w = (1 +- √(1^2 - 4*2*(-45))/(2*2) = (1 + - √361)/4

where we have two solutions for w, one for each sign of the square root.

we obviously need to take the positive solution (because we can not have a negative length)

w = (1 + √361)/4 = 5in

now, we can replace it in the equation "h = 4*w - 2in" to get the height.

h = 4*5in - 2in = 18in

This problem is simply asking us to add the weights which are presented as fractions. You can easily get the answer if you input them directly in a calculator. But I think the challenge here is to manually add fractions.

Let's add the two 1/4 lb weights because it is easier for they have a common denominator. Just simply add the numerators.

1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4

Then, add with this the fraction part of 2 1/5.

2/4 + 1/5 = ?
The least common denominator is 4*5 = 20. Then divide 20 with each denominator and multiply to their respective numerator.

2/4 + 1/5 = [(20/4 * 2) + (20/5 *1)]/20 = 14/20

14/20 is simplified to 7/10. Then add the whole number 2. <em>Therefore, the sum of all weights is 2 7/10 pounds.</em>

find the probability if two dice are rolled. (enter the value of probability in decimals. round the answer to three decimal plac
spayn [35]

The probability of getting a total of 8 when two dice are rolled is 0.139.

Probability is a number that expresses the likelihood or chance that a specific event will take place. Probabilities can be represented by proportions on a 0–1 scale.

A single die will have six sides with the numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Each of these events is equally likely to occur if the dice are rolled fairly. So the probability of getting any side of the number is 1/6. Therefore, the probability of getting 1 in dice is 1/6, 2 is 1/6, and so on.

Therefore, the total possible outcomes are the multiplication of the total possible outcomes on dice 1 and dice 2, which is 36.

This possible outcome of rolling two dice is given by,

\left\{\begin{array}{ccccccc}(1, 1)&(1, 2)& (1, 3)&(1, 4)&(1, 5)&(1, 6)\\(2, 1)&(2, 2)&(2, 3)&(2, 4)&(2, 5)&(2, 6)\\(3, 1)&(3, 2)&(3, 3)&(3, 4)&(3, 5)&(3, 6)\\(4, 1)&(4, 2)&(4, 3)&(4, 4)&(4, 5)&(4, 6)\\(5, 1)&(5, 2)&(5, 3)&(5, 4)&(5, 5)&(5, 6)\\(6, 1)&(6, 2)&(6, 3)&(6, 4)&(6, 5)&(6, 6)\end{array}\right\}

The probability of getting a total of 8 from both dice is given by, (2, 6) (3, 5) (4, 4) (5, 3) (6, 2). So the number of favorable outcomes is 5 and the total outcome is 36. The probability is P(getting a total of 8 from both dices)=5/36= 0.139.

The answer is 0.139.

The complete question is -

Consider rolling dice and getting a total of 8. Find the probability of two dice are rolled. (Enter the value of probability in decimals. Round the answer to three decimal places).
