The numbers DO differ by 10 if they are
- 1 and 11
- 2 and 12
- 3 and 13
- 4 and 14
- 5 and 15
Each outcome technically has two ways of occurring, but since we're taking two marbles at a time, that would be the same as saying, for instance, that drawing 1 and 11 is the same as drawing 11 and 1. We only count such an event once.
So the answer is (a) 5.
The formula for the area of a triangle is (1/2)bh = A
when we plug in the numbers, we get (1/2)(3x-1)x = A
using the distributive property we get (1.5x - .5)x = A
Then its 1.5x^2 - .5x = A
then if we factor out 0.5x we get 0.5x(3x-1) = A
then with the zero product property, 0.5x can equal 0 and x would need to equal 0.
if 3x-1 = 0 , then 3x = 1 then x = 1/3. so our answer would be 1/3 I'm pretty sure because a length cannot be 0
Answer:
you will get more money if he gives you 1 cent per day then doubles it
Step-by-step explanation:
if your brother gives you 25 cents per day, at the end of 10 days you will have $2.50
if he gives you 1 cent per day then doubles it, this will be your daily earnings:
day 1- 0.01
day 2- 0.02
day 3- 0.04
day 4- 0.08
day 5- 0.16
day 6- 0.32
day 7- 0.64
day 8- 1.28
day 9- 2.56
day 10- 5.12
then when you add all of this up, you would recieve 10.23 cents at the end of day 10
