Answer:

The probability of this occurring is 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, here is a probability question.

From the question, we can identify the following;

Total number of socks = 2 + 4 + 2 = 8 socks

Since we are not given the order in which the socks was worn, we can assume any order.

Let’s say the right leg socks was worn first.

From the question, the socks on the right leg is a brown one.

So now let’s calculate the probability of selecting a brown socks out of the mix

That would be ;

number of brown socks/ total number of socks = 4/8 = 1/2

Now, for the left foot, we are having white sock here.

Kindly recall that since we already have a sock on the right foot, we have 7 socks left to pick from.

Now we need the probability of picking a white sock from the total 7. That would be ; 2/7

So the probability of both action occurring is simply the product of both probabilities and that is ;

1/2 * 2/7 = 1/7

Which polynomial is a quadratic trinomial?
il63 [147K]
<h3>Answer: Choice C</h3>

The largest exponent here is 4, so that makes it a quartic.

There are 3 terms, so we have a trinomial. Each term is separated by either a plus or a minus.

Choice A shows a quartic polynomial. Choice B is a cubic polynomial. Choice d is a quadratic trinomial.

Georgia kassem installs fencing. she is paid $7.50 per hour for an 8-hour day and time and a half for overtime for any work over
Dominik [7]

Georgia worked overtime on 4 of the 5 days. Her total overtime hours were

... (12-8) +(9 -8) +(10 -8) +(10 -8) = 4 +1 +2 +2 = 9

Then her pay for the week is

... (hours) × (pay per hour)

... = ((7 + 4×8) +1.5×9) × $7.50

... = 52.5 × $7.50

... = $393.75 . . . . Georgia's gross pay for the week

_____

Pay for "time and a half" can be computed by multiplying pay by 1.5 for overtime hours, or multiplying overtime hours by 1.5 and using straight pay. Either way, it is (overtime hours)×(1.5)×(straight pay).

Define a function f on a set of real numbers as follows: f(x) = 3x − 1 x , for each real number x ≠ 0 Prove that f is one-to-one
dalvyx [7]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

f(x)=\frac{3x-1}{x}

For each real number x\neq 0

To prove that f is one -to-one.

Proof:Let x_1 and x_2 be any nonzero real numbers such that

f(x_1)=f(x_2)

By using the definition of f to rewrite the left hand side of this equation

f(x_1)=\frac{3x_1-1}{x_1}

Then, by using the definition of f to rewrite the right hand side of this equation  of f(x_1)=f(x_2)

f(x_2)=\frac{3x_2-1}{x_2}

Equating the expression then we get

\frac{3x_1-1}{x_1}=\frac{3x_2-1}{x_2}

3x_1x_2-x_2=3x_2x_1-x_1

3x_1x_2-3x_1x_2+x_1=x_2

x_1=x_2

Therefore, f is one-to-one.
