Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of blue balls be x.

Number of red balls = 5

Total number of balls = x + 5

P (getting a red ball)  = 5/x+5

P (getting a blue ball)  = x/x+5

Given that

2(5/x+5) = x/x+5

10(x+5) = x^(2) +5x

x^(2)-5x-50=0

x(x-10)(x+5)

Now either x-10 = 0 or x+5= 0

But number of balls cannot be negative.

Hence, the number of blue balls is 10.

Xy + 3ey = 3e, find the value of y'' at the point where x = 0.
Katyanochek1 [597]

y might be 1 and I got that cuz 0y+3ey=3e and replace y with 1 and you get 0•1+3e•1=3e and to be honest it kinda looks like it makes sense

Max built a rectangular Prism and a rectangular Pyramid using beach sand. The prism and the pyramid have the same base area and
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Three times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Figures: Rectangular Prism and Rectangular Pyramid

Let the dimension of the prism be:

l = length

w = width

h = height

Amount of sand used is the volume (V1) and it is calculated using;

V_1 = l * w * h

V_1 = lw h

Since the pyramid has the same base area and height as the prism, the its dimension would be:

l = length

w = width

h = height

Amount of sand used is the volume (V2) and it is calculated using;

V_2 = \frac{1}{3}*(lwh)

So, we have:

V_1 = lw h

V_2 = \frac{1}{3}*(lwh)

Substitute lwh for V1 in the second equation

V_2 = \frac{1}{3}V_1

Multiply both sides by 3

3 * V_2 = \frac{1}{3}V_1 * 3

3 * V_2 = V_1

Reorder

V_1 = 3 * V_2

V_1 = 3 V_2

<em>Hence, the amount of sand used in building the prism is three times the amount of sand used in building the pyramid</em>

I'm confused on simplifying radicals.​
lakkis [162]

Answer: 4 or \sqrt{4 * 4}

To find the square root of a number, remember that there will be two factors that are the same that will give you the product.

Lets start from 1:

1 x 1 = 1

2 x 2 = 4

3 x 3 = 9

4 x 4 = 16

As you can see, 4 x 4 is 16. To make sure I'm correct, remember that a square roots consists two identical factors.

4 and 4 are the same numbers.

Therefore, \sqrt{16} = 4

It can also be written as \sqrt{4 * 4}
