HELP ME PLEASE!

shusha [124]

Answer:

Part A) The probability is closer to 0, because is less than 50%

Part B) The probability is closer to 1, because is greater than 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The probability of an event is the ratio of the size of the event space to the size of the sample space.

The size of the sample space is the total number of possible outcomes

The event space is the number of outcomes in the event you are interested in.

so

Let

x------> size of the event space

y-----> size of the sample space

so

$P=\frac{x}{y}$

Part A) Is the probability of hitting the black circle inside the target closer to 0 or 1?

In this problem we have

x------> is the area of the black circle

y------> is the total area of the square target

Find the area of black circle

$r=3/2=1.5\ units$

$x=(3.14)(1.5)^{2} =7.065\ units^{2}$

Find the total area of the square target

$y=9^{2}=81\ units^{2}$

Find the probability

$P=\frac{7.065}{81}=0.0872$

Convert to percentage

$0.0872*100=8.72\%$

The probability is closer to 0, because is less than 50%

Part B) Is the probability of hitting the white portion of the target closer to 0 or 1?

In this problem we have

x------> is the area of the white portion of the target

y------> is the total area of the square target

Find the area of the white portion

The area is equal to the area of the square minus the area of the circle

$x=81-7.065=73.935\ units^{2}$

Find the probability

$P=\frac{73.935}{81}=0.9128$

Convert to percentage

$0.9128*100=91.28\%$

The probability is closer to 1, because is greater than 50%

Solve the radical equation. Check all purpose solutions. Sqrt(4-3x) = x

alisha [4.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

√(4-3x) = x

1. square both sides:

[√(4-3x)]²= (x) ²

4-3x = x²

2. shift all the terms to the right side

(minimise dealing with negative coefficient of x² terms to prevent careless mistakes)

0= x²+3x-4

no matter how you change the places of the terms, it will still be:

x²+3x-4=0

3. solve the quadratic equation, either by cross multiplication(and factorising) or the quadratic formula(if you're taught)

for me I will be using the cross multiplication table that my calculator can help me with(gives me the solution but better to show the factorised form to prevent missing out method marks)

as such:

x²+3x-4=0

(x+4)(x-1)=0

hence:

(x+4)=0 or (x-1)=0

finally:

x= -4 or x= 1

however we're not done yet as some solutions may not match with the question/ original equation provided, this we still need to check if there are any values that does not match

substitute x= -4 into the original equation:

√4-3(-4) = √4+12 = √16 = 4 > -1 , hence x= -1 is not the answer

you can substitute the values into a scientific calculator(that has the functions required) to quickly determine

then to double confirm, do the same for the other value of X that we have found:

√4-3(1) = √4-3 = √1 = 1

since the other value of x matches with the equation provided in the question, then we can now confirm that the value of x=1 is the correct value

reason for such situation to happen:

remember in step 1 when we squared both sides of the equation, that is the reason for having to check for the correct X value. let me explain further

when we square numbers, we are potentially introducing another possible answer other than the correct answer intended for us to find as well as to match with the question.

for example:

1 = 1² = (-1)²

likewise, I can even take any other number to compare, such as 100:

100=10²=(-10)²

and this scenario only happens for the even powers of x, such as x², x⁴, x⁶ so on and so forth.

hence whenever such questions come out, do remember to double check with the original question/equation

lastly, the checking portion will only apply for even powers of x in questions and/or when you happen to square them

hope this helps!

No, it is not a function because if you have two 12’s as the y value then the x value must be the same or else it’s not a function
