Donavan and Jones are randomly choosing chalices to drink from. 4 of the chalices contain purified water, 5 contain spoiled milk

, and 6 contain diluted flat soda. Jones gets to choose a chalice from the remaining ones after Donavan drinks from 3 of them. If the chances of Jones choosing a chalice with purified water is then 1/3, how many of the chalices that Donavan drank out of contained purified water?

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Chalice with purified water = 4

With spoiled milk = 5

With flat soda = 6

Probability of Jones drinking from a chalice with purified water after Donovan had drank from 3 = 1/3

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Total possible outcomes = (4 + 5 + 6) = 15

After Donovan drinks 3 :

Total possible outcomes = (15 - 3) = 12

If the probability of Jones choosing a chalice with purified water is 1/3 then :

(Required outcome / Total possible outcomes) =1 /3

(Required outcome / 12) = 1 / 3

Required outcome * 3 = 12

Required outcome = 12 / 3

Required outcome = 4

Therefore, since initial number of chalice with purified water is 4,

4 - 4 = 0

Then Donovan did not drink from a chalice containing purified water.

Find f(a), f(a+h), and<br> 71. f(x) = 7x - 3<br> f(a+h)-f(a)<br> h<br> if h = 0.<br> 72. f(x) = 5x²

Leni [432]

Answer:

$71. \ \ \ f(a) \ = \ 7a \ - \ 3; \ f(a+h) \ = \ 7a \ + \ 7h \ - \ 3; \ \displaystyle\frac{f(a+h) \ - \ f(a)}{h} \ = \ 7$

$72. \ \ \ f(a) \ = \ 5a^{2}; \ f(a+h) \ = \ {5a}^{2} \ + \ 10ah \ + \ {5h}^{2}; \ \displaystyle\frac{f(a+h) \ - \ f(a)}{h} \ = \ 10a \ + \ 5h$

Step-by-step explanation:

In single-variable calculus, the difference quotient is the expression

$\displaystyle\frac{f(x+h) \ - \ f(x)}{h}$ ,

which its name comes from the fact that it is the quotient of the difference of the evaluated values of the function by the difference of its corresponding input values (as shown in the figure below).

This expression looks similar to the method of evaluating the slope of a line. Indeed, the difference quotient provides the slope of a secant line (in blue) that passes through two coordinate points on a curve.

$m \ \ = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \ \ = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{rise}{run}$ .

Similarly, the difference quotient is a measure of the average rate of change of the function over an interval. When the limit of the difference quotient is taken as <em>h</em> approaches 0 gives the instantaneous rate of change (rate of change in an instant) or the derivative of the function.

Therefore,

$71. \ \ \ \ \ \displaystyle\frac{f(a \ + \ h) \ - \ f(a)}{h} \ \ = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{(7a \ + \ 7h \ - \ 3) \ - \ (7a \ - \ 3)}{h} \\ \\ \-\hspace{4.25cm} = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{7h}{h} \\ \\ \-\hspace{4.25cm} = \ \ 7$

$72. \ \ \ \ \ \displaystyle\frac{f(a \ + \ h) \ - \ f(a)}{h} \ \ = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{{5(a \ + \ h)}^{2} \ - \ {5(a)}^{2}}{h} \\ \\ \-\hspace{4.25cm} = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{{5a}^{2} \ + \ 10ah \ + \ {5h}^{2} \ - \ {5a}^{2}}{h} \\ \\ \-\hspace{4.25cm} = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{h(10a \ + \ 5h)}{h} \\ \\ \-\hspace{4.25cm} = \ \ 10a \ + \ 5h$
