Answer:

The odds of getting a green M&M  is \frac{1}{10} and  the probability of getting a green M&M  is \frac{1}{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

Red candies = 14

Blue candies = 10

Green candies =  5

Brown candies = 11

Orange candies = 3

Yellow candies = 12

Total No. of candies = 14+10+5+11+3+12 = 55

(a) the odds of getting a green M&M

Green candies = 5

Total number of candies excluding green or unfavorable = 50

Odds of getting a green M&M  = \frac{\text{favorable outcome}}{\text{Unfavorable outcomes}}

                                                   = \frac{5}{50}

                                                   = \frac{1}{10}

(b) the probability of getting a green M&M

Green candies = 5

Total No. of candies = 55

So,  the probability of getting a green M&M =\frac{5}{55}

                                                                        =\frac{1}{11}

Hence the odds of getting a green M&M  is \frac{1}{10} and  the probability of getting a green M&M  is \frac{1}{11}

The difference between the two roots of the equation 3x^2+10x+c=0 is 4 2/3 . Find the solutions for the equation.
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Given the equation: 3x^2+10x+c =0

A quadratic equation is in the form: ax^2+bx+c = 0 where a, b ,c are the coefficient and a≠0 then the solution is given by :

x_{1,2} = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} ......[1]

On comparing with given equation we get;

a =3 , b = 10

then, substitute these in equation [1] to solve for c;

x_{1,2} = \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{10^2-4\cdot 3 \cdot c}}{2 \cdot 3}

Simplify:

x_{1,2} = \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}

Also, it is given that the difference of two roots of the given equation is 4\frac{2}{3} = \frac{14}{3}

i.e,

x_1 -x_2 = \frac{14}{3}

Here,

x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6} ,     ......[2]

x_2= \frac{-10 - \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}       .....[3]

then;

\frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6} - (\frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}) = \frac{14}{3}

simplify:

\frac{2 \sqrt{100- 12c} }{6} = \frac{14}{3}

or

\sqrt{100- 12c} = 14

Squaring both sides we get;

100-12c = 196

Subtract 100 from both sides, we get

100-12c -100= 196-100

Simplify:

-12c = -96

Divide both sides by -12 we get;

c = 8

Substitute the value of c in equation [2] and [3]; to solve x_1 , x_2

x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12\cdot 8}}{6}

or

x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 96}}{6} or

x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{4}}{6}

Simplify:

x_1 = \frac{-4}{3}

Now, to solve for x_2 ;

x_2 = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{100- 12\cdot 8}}{6}

or

x_2 = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{100- 96}}{6} or

x_2 = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{4}}{6}

Simplify:

x_2 = -2

therefore, the solution for the given equation is: -\frac{4}{3} and -2.

M2/n2 is equivalent to _____.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

\frac{m^2}{n^2} is equivalent to m^2 \cdot n^{-2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using exponent rules:

a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}

Given the expression:

\frac{m^2}{n^2}

⇒\frac{m^2}{n^2} = m^2 \cdot \frac{1}{n^2}

Apply the exponent rule, we have;

m^2 \cdot n^{-2}

Therefore, the given expression \frac{m^2}{n^2} is equivalent to m^2 \cdot n^{-2}
