Answer:

A. 5x^2 − 2x − 24 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

height = 5b-2

b =x

We can rewrite the height as

h = 5x-2

We know the formula for area of a triangle

A = 1/2 bh

A =1/2 x * (5x-2)

Distributing the x

A=    1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)

We know A =12

12 = 1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)

Multiply each side by 2

12*2 = 2*1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)

24 = 5x^2 - 2x

Subtract 24 from each side

24-24 = 5x^2 - 2x-24

0 = 5x^2 - 2x-24

Lacy draws a diamond from a standard deck of 52 cards. Without replacing the first card, she then proceeds to draw a second card
Viktor [21]

Answer:

a) i) No

ii) Probability of drawing a diamond and then spade without replacement is 0.0637.

b) i) Yes

ii) Probability of drawing a diamond and then spade with replacement is 0.0625

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Without replacement:

i) Are these events independent?

No, because the both events are dependent. because a card taken out of the deck is not replaced back before taking out the other card so the chances of event occur change.

ii) Determine the probability of drawing a diamond and then a spade without replacement.

Probability of drawing a diamond and then spade = (Probability of drawing a diamond) * (Probability of drawing a spade)

Probability of drawing a diamond :

Total cards in deck = 52

Diamonds = 13

Probability of drawing a diamond  = 13/52

Probability of drawing a spade:

Total cards in deck after taking diamond = 52 -1 =51

Spades = 13

Probability of drawing a spade  = 13/51

Probability of drawing a diamond and then spade = 13/52 * 13/51

= 169/2652

=0.0637

So, Probability of drawing a diamond and then spade without replacement  is 0.0637

Part b) With replacements

i) Are these events independent?

Input Yes or No:

Yes, these events are independent because a card taken out of the deck is replaced back before taking out the other card so the chances of event occur doesn't change.

ii) Determine the probability of drawing a diamond and then a spade with replacement.

Probability of drawing a diamond and then spade = (Probability of drawing a diamond) * (Probability of drawing a spade)

Probability of drawing a diamond :

Total cards in deck = 52

Diamonds = 13

Probability of drawing a diamond  = 13/52

Probability of drawing a spade:

Total cards in deck after replacing diamond = 52

Spades = 13

Probability of drawing a spade  = 13/52

Probability of drawing a diamond and then spade = 13/52 * 13/52

= 169/2704

=0.0625

So, Probability of drawing a diamond and then spade with replacement is 0.0625

Instructions: Problem 1 ! Find the missing angle in the image below. Do not include spaces in your answers
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

40 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The 100 degree angle is supplementary to angle CED. This means CED will end up being 80 degrees. Since the angles in all triangles equate to 180 degrees 80 + 60 + angle D must equal 180 degrees. Therefore, angle D has to be 40 degrees.

Brianna bought a sandwich, apple, and cookie for lunch. The total was $5. if a sandwich costs six times more than the cookie, an
Fed [463]

Answer:

Cookie=0.5, Apple=1.5, sandwich= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say cookie = x, then sandwich = 6x since sandwich is 6 times more expensive, apple = 3x. function: 6x+3x+x =5

                                                                 10x=5

                                                                    x=0.5
