Answer:

<em>4/9 [Less likely]</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

2 purple

5 pink

2 blue

The total is 9.

5/9 is pink out of total (basically, the whole bag of marbles).

This is if you were picking pink.

Now, we subtract.

9 - 5 = 4 --> 4/9

The reason we do this is because we are finding the probability of not picking pink.

The end result is 4/9 because there is still 4 other marbles (other than pink) out of all 9 that we could pick.

How to evaluate the limit

anzhelika [568]

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2}\frac{x^2-x+6}{x+2}$

Both the numerator and denominator are continuous at $x=2$ , which means the quotient rule for limits applies:

$\dfrac{\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2}(x^2-x+6)}{\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2}(x+2)}=\dfrac{2^2-2+6}{2+2}=\dfrac84=2$

Perhaps you meant to write that $x\to-2$ instead? In that case, you would have

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-2}\frac{x^2-x+6}{x+2}=\lim_{x\to-2}\frac{(x+2)(x-3)}{x+2}=\lim_{x\to-2}(x-3)=-2-3=-5$

Brain bought 2 shirts for 14.50 each and a pair of shoes for 29.99 the sales tax was 6%

Sedbober [7]

Cost of each shirt bought by Brain = 14.50
Then
Cost of 2 shirts bought by Brain = 2 * 14.50
      = 29
Cost of a pair of shoes = 29.99
Total amount spent by Brain before tax = 29 + 29.99
   = 58.99
Percentage of sales tax that needs to be paid = 6%
Amount of sales tax that needs to be [paid = (6/100) * 58.99
   = 353.94/100
   = 3.54
So
the total amount spent by Brain including tax = 58.99 + 3.54
   = 62.53
I hope this is the answer you were looking for.
