Answer:

It depends on how much sun the place receives, how much it is shaded. temperature in the area. Do you have solar panels, electric heat, gas? All these factors determine utility cost.

Construct a quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are negatives of the zeroes of the

sp2606 [1]

Given:

The given quadratic polynomial is :

$x^2-x-12$

To find:

The quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are negatives of the zeroes of the given polynomial.

Solution:

We have,

$x^2-x-12$

Equate the polynomial with 0 to find the zeroes.

$x^2-x-12=0$

Splitting the middle term, we get

$x^2-4x+3x-12=0$

$x(x-4)+3(x-4)=0$

$(x+3)(x-4)=0$

$x=-3,4$

The zeroes of the given polynomial are -3 and 4.

The zeroes of a quadratic polynomial are negatives of the zeroes of the given polynomial. So, the zeroes of the required polynomial are 3 and -4.

A quadratic polynomial is defined as:

$x^2-(\text{Sum of zeroes})x+\text{Product of zeroes}$

$x^2-(3+(-4))x+(3)(-4)$

$x^2-(-1)x+(-12)$

$x^2+x-12$

Therefore, the required polynomial is $x^2+x-12$ .

The Sky Ranch is a supplier of aircraft parts. Included in stock are 6 altimeters that are correctly calibrated and two that are

almond37 [142]

Answer:

For x = 0, P(x = 0) = 0.35

For x = 1, P(x = 1) = 0.54

For x = 2, P(x = 2) = 0.11

For x = 3, P(x = 3) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the Sky Ranch is a supplier of aircraft parts. Included in stock are 6 altimeters that are correctly calibrated and two that are not. Three altimeters are randomly selected, one at a time, without replacement.

Let X = the number that are not correctly calibrated.

Number of altimeters that are correctly calibrated = 6

Number of altimeters that are not correctly calibrated = 2

Total number of altimeters = 6 + 2 = 8

(a) For x = 0: means there are 0 altimeters that are not correctly calibrated.

This means that all three selected altimeters are correctly calibrated.

Total number of ways of selecting 3 altimeters from a total of 8 = $^{8}C_3$

The number of ways of selecting 3 altimeters from a total of 6 altimeters that are correctly calibrated = $^{6}C_3$

So, the required probability = $\frac{^{6}C_3}{^{8}C_3}$

= $\frac{20}{56}$ = 0.35

(b) For x = 1: means there is 1 altimeter that is not correctly calibrated.

This means that from three selected altimeters; 1 is not correctly calibrated and 2 are correctly calibrated.

Total number of ways of selecting 3 altimeters from a total of 8 = $^{8}C_3$

The number of ways of selecting 2 correctly calibrated altimeters from a total of 6 altimeters that are correctly calibrated = $^{6}C_2$

The number of ways of selecting 1 not correctly calibrated altimeters from a total of 2 altimeters that are not correctly calibrated = $^{2}C_1$

So, the required probability = $\frac{^{6}C_2 \times ^{2}C_1 }{^{8}C_3}$

= $\frac{30}{56}$ = 0.54

(c) For x = 2: means there is 2 altimeter that is not correctly calibrated.

This means that from three selected altimeters; 2 are not correctly calibrated and 1 is correctly calibrated.

Total number of ways of selecting 3 altimeters from a total of 8 = $^{8}C_3$

The number of ways of selecting 1 correctly calibrated altimeters from a total of 6 altimeters that are correctly calibrated = $^{6}C_1$

The number of ways of selecting 2 not correctly calibrated altimeters from a total of 2 altimeters that are not correctly calibrated = $^{2}C_2$

So, the required probability = $\frac{^{6}C_1 \times ^{2}C_2 }{^{8}C_3}$

= $\frac{6}{56}$ = 0.11

(d) For x = 3: means there is 3 altimeter that is not correctly calibrated.

This case is not possible, so this probability is 0.

An electrician charges $40 to come to your house she also charges $55 for each hour that she works the electrician charges you a

s2008m [1.1K]

First lets remove the initial fee
$190 - 40 = 150$
150 is how much she is charging you per hour.
If each hour is 55, lets divide 150 by 55.
$150 \div 55 = 2.7$
She charged you for 2.7 hours (almost 3) of service

Suppose there is a 20% chance of rain on Monday and a 40% chance of rain on Tuesday. Assuming the weather on successive days is

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

a. 52%

b. 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represents the event of raining on Monday and B represents the event of raining in Tuesday,

Then according to the question,

P(A) = 20% = 0.2,

P(B) = 40% = 0.4,

Here, A and B are independent events,

So, P(A∩B) = P(A) × P(B),

⇒ P(A∩B) = 0.2 × 0.4 = 0.08

We know that,

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

a. The probability it rains on Monday or Tuesday, P(A∪B) = 0.2 + 0.4 - 0.08

= 0.52

= 52%

b. The conditional probability it rains on Tuesday given that it rained on Monday,

$P(\frac{B}{A})=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.08}{0.2}=0.4 = 40\%$
