Answer:

88:56 = 11:7 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Drop the pound sign. I live in Canada and I can't make that symbol. I'll add something at the end. We just want to divide 144 into a ratio of of 11:7

Step One

Add the two ratios together 11 + 7 = 18

Now set up a ratio to solve for 11 parts out of 18

11:18 = x:144 Proportion

11 / 18 = x / 144 Equation: Cross mulitiply

11*144 = 18x Combine the left side

1584 = 18x Divide by 18

1584 / 18 = x

88 = x

That is the larger amount (11 is larger than 7)

Find the smaller amount

144 - 88 = 56

The two amounts are in the ratio of 11:7

88:56 = 11:7

Complete the square to factor X^2 +10X=-8

ella [17]

Answer: $x=\sqrt{17}-5$ and $x = -\sqrt{17}-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The given equation is :

$x^{2} +10x = -8$

Adding 8 in both sides, it will become

$x^{2} +10x + 8 = -8 +8$

$x^{2} +10x + 8 = 0$

To make it perfect square, we need to add 25 and subtract 25

$x^{2} +10x + 8 +25-25= 0$

$x^2+10x+25+8-25=0$

$(x+5)^2+8-25=0$

$(x+5)^2-17=0$

Adding 17 in both sides

$(x+5)^2=17$

taking square root

$x+5=\sqrt{17}$

So,

$x=\sqrt{17}-5$ and $x = -\sqrt{17}-5$ .. Answer

Hope it will help :)

Two telephone calls come into a switchboard at random times in a fixed one-hour period. Assume that the calls are made independe

svp [43]

Answer:

0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Since the times are uniform distributed over the one hour period (0,1):

Then;

$f_1(y_1) = 1$

$f_2(y_2) = 1$

So, $Y_1$ and $Y_2$ are independent; then:

$f(y_1|y_2) = f_1(y_1)f_2(y_2) \\ \\ = 1(1) = 1$

$P(Y_1\le 0.5 Y_2 \le 0.5) = \int ^{0.5}_{0} \int ^{0.5}_{0} f(y_1,y_2) dy_{2}dy_{1}$

$\implies \int ^{0.5}_{0} \int ^{0.5}_{0} (1) dy_{2}dy_{1}$

$= \dfrac{1}{4}$

= 0.25
