Answer:

He will need (x+2)(x-2) units squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, so to solve this it is necessary to find the area of the room and subtract the area of the dance floor from it.

Fortunately, squares are a special case where we only need to... well square the side.

Therefore:

a =  {(3x - 4)}^{2}  -  {(2x - 6)}^{2}

Great. Difference of two squares.

{a}^{2}  -  {b}^{2}  = ( a+ b)(a - b)

Therefore:

a = (3x - 4  +  2x - 6) \\ (3x - 4  -  2x +6 )  \\  \\  a = (5x  - 10)(x + 2) \\ a = 5 {x}^{2}  - 20 \\ a =  {x}^{2}  - 4 \\ a = (x + 2)(x - 2)

In a carnival​ game, the player selects a ball one at a​ time, without​ replacement, from an urn containing twotwo purplepurple
dezoksy [38]
<span>The urn contains 2 purple balls and 4 white balls. The player pay $4 for start the game and get $1.5 for every ball drawn until one purple ball is drawn. The maximal revenue would be $7.5 when 4 white balls and 1 purple balls are drawn.
If the purple ball is p and white ball is w, t</span>he possible sample space of drawings are {p, wp, wwp, wwwp, wwwwp}

<span>1. Write down the probability distribution for the player earning

The player earning </span>for each event depends on the number of balls drawn subtracted the ticket price.<span>
p= 2/6
The player earnings would be: 1*$1.5 -$4= - $2.5
wp= (4*2)/(6*5) = 4/15
</span>The player earnings would be: 2*1.5- $4= - $1
wwp= (4*3*2)/(6*5*4)= 1/5
The player earnings would be: 3*$1.5 -$4= $0.5
wwwp= (4*3*2*2)/(6*5*4*3*2)= 2/15 
The player earnings would be: 4*$1.5 -$4= $2
wwwwp= (4*3*2*2*1)/(6*5*4*3*2*1) = 1/15
The player earnings would be: 5*$1.5 -$4=  $3.5

2. Find its expected value

The expected value would be:
chance of event * earning 
You need to combine the 5 possible outcomes from the number 1 to get the total expected value.

Total expected value= (1/3 * - 2.5)+ (4/15*-1) + (1/5*0.5) + (2/15 *2) + ( 1/15 *3.5)= 
(-12.5  -4 + 1.5 + 4 + 3.5) /15= -$7.5
This game basically a rip off.

If you read can read 40 pages in 2 hours, how many pages can you read in 5 hours?
Pavlova-9 [17]
You can read 100 pages in 5 hours.

40 pages in 2 hours. We need to get the unit rate. In this case, we need to get the number of pages read in 1 hour.

40 pages ÷ 2 hours = 20 pages per hour.

20 pages per hours * 5 hours = 100 pages.

Which is greater 11/16 or 3/4
Anettt [7]
To compare fractions, we need to have the same denominator
The least common multiple is 16
\frac{11}{16} 
to change \frac{3}{4}, we should multiply the numerator and denominator by 4
\frac{3*4}{4*4} = \frac{12}{16}

\frac{11}{16} < \frac{12}{16}

so basically, \frac{12}{16} is greater than \frac{11}{16}
which means \frac{3}{4} is greater

\frac{3}{4} is greater

Write an equation for the line below​
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

y = 4/5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points on the graph is (-5, -4) and (0, 0)

Slope formula is [ y2-y1/x2-x1 ]

0-(-4)/0-(-5)

4/5

The y-intercept is non existent since its 0.

y = 4/5x

Best of Luck!
