What combination of numbers are needed in order to get a sum of 9?
        It can be:
             •  First die is 6 , second die is 3 
             •  First die is 3 , second die is 6
             •  First die is 4 , second die is 5
             •  First die is 5 , second die is 4

How many possible combinations are made? Yep, 4 possible combinations.

Recall the formula for probability
       Probability =   \frac{Number of desired outcomes}{Number of all possible outcomes}

There are 4 desired number of outcomes.
How about the total possible outcomes?
     • How many numbers are possible to appear when the first die is rolled?
        Answer: 6
     • What about the second die?
        Answer: Also 6
     • Therefore, total possible outcomes = 6 * 6 = 36 outcomes

You can now solve for the probability.

      Probability = \frac{4}{36} =  \frac{1}{9} or approximately 11.11%

Find the domain of the function f(x) = 7x2 + 8x - 15.
amm1812

Answer:

Domain is all real numbers or (negative infinity, positive infinity)

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain is all values of <em>x</em> (inputs) that will work with the function. Since a parabola has no limits for <em>x</em>, and all numbers work for <em>x</em>, then the domain can be any number. That leaves us with All Real Numbers as our answer.

An airplane flies 80 km in 10 minutes and then flies 100 km in 20 minutes what is the average speed
Eddi Din [679]
The average speed = (speed 1 + speed 2)/2
the average speed = (80/10 + 100/20)/2
the average speed = (8 + 5)/2
the average speed = 13/2
the average speed = 6.5 km/minute
