Answer:

B. 1/56

Explanation:

There are 8 different marbles. In the first draw, you have a one out of 8 chance of getting the red. In the second draw, there are 7 marbles remaining, so a one out of 7 chance of drawing a white marble. To find the total probability of drawing the red and then white marble, we multiply the probabilities if each draw.

(1/8)*(1/7)=1/56

If x + 2 is a factor of x^2 +mx + 14 find m
jolli1 [7]
X² + mx + 14            

If (x+2) one of the factors, we can write

14 = 2*7
m = 2+7= 9

x² +9x + 14 = (x+2)(x+7)

Problem #2
marta [7]

Fractions can be converted to decimals and vice versa.

<em>The decimal equivalent  of the fraction of months with 31 days is 0.583</em>

Given:

<em />Total = 12<em> --- months in a year</em>

<em />Months = 7<em> --- months with 31 days</em>

<em />

The fraction (n) of months with 31 days is:

n = \frac{Months}{Total}

So, we have:

n = \frac{7}{12}

The decimal equivalent is:

n = 0.583

Hence, (c) is correct.

The sides of a right triangle are x, x+21, and x+27. what is the length of the hypotenuse
mina [271]
Answer: 51 uinits

The three numbers are x , x + 21 and x + 27. 
The greatest of the 3 numbers is x + 27, so x + 27 has to be the hypotenuse.

----------------------------------------------
Pythagoras Theorem
----------------------------------------------

a² + b²  = c²

x² + (x+21)² = (x+27)²

x² + x² + 42x + 441 = x² + 54x + 729

x² - 12x -288 = 0

(x - 24)(x + 12) = 0

x = 24 or x = -12 (rejected, length cannot be negative)

----------------------------------------------
Find hypotenuse
----------------------------------------------
 Hypotenuse = x + 27 = 24 + 27 = 51 units

-----------------------------------------------
Answer: 51 units
----------------------------------------------

Find the average rate of change for the given function from x = 1 to x = 2.
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change from x=1 to x=2 is the same as finding the slope of a line at x=1 and x=2.

So we are going to need to corresponding y coordinates.

What y corresponds to x=1? y=3

What y corresponds to x=2? y=5

So we have the ordered pairs (1,3) and (2,5).

Line the points up vertically and subtract vertically then put 2nd difference over 1st difference.

(2 , 5)

-(1  , 3)

-----------

1      2

The average rate of change is 2/1 or just 2.

Now since we were asked to find the average rate of change given the function was a line, it really didn't matter what two points you used on that line.
