Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call hens h and ducks d. The first algebraic equation says that 6 hens (6h) plus (+) 1 duck (1d) cost (=) 40.
The second algebraic equations says that 4 hens (4h) plus (+) 3 ducks (3d) cost (=) 36.
The system is
6h + 1d = 40
4h + 3d = 36
The best way to go about this is to solve it by substitution since we have a 1d in the first equation. We will solve that equation for d since that makes the most sense algebraically. Doing that,
1d = 40 - 6h.
Now that we know what d equals, we can sub it into the second equation where we see a d. In order,
4h + 3d = 36 becomes
4h + 3(40 - 6h) = 36 and then simplify. By substituting into the second equation we eliminated one of the variables. You can only have 1 unknown in a single equation, and now we do!
4h + 120 - 18h = 36 and
-14h = -84 so
h = 6.
That means that each hen costs $6. Since the cost of a duck is found in the bold print equation above, we will sub in a 6 for h to solve for d:
1d = 40 - 6(6) and
d = 40 - 36 so
d = 4.
That means that each duck costs $4.
I've already been complemented twice on my previous answer, but then I discovered that I mis-read the question. My entire original answer was wrong, and I have to delete it.
I don't believe that any number can satisfy both of those conditions.
I'll say the question has no answer.
Answer:
{0.16807, 0.36015, 0.3087, 0.1323, 0.02835, 0.00243}
Step-by-step explanation:
The expansion of (p+q)^n for n = 5 is ...
(p+q)^5 = p^5 +5·p^4·q +10·p^3·q^2 +10·p^2·q^3 +5·p·q^4 +q^5
When the probability p=0.3 and q = 1-p = 0.7 the terms of this series correspond to the probabilities of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0 favorable outcomes out of 5 trials.
For example, p^5 = 0.3^5 = 0.00243 is the probability of 5 favorable outcomes in 5 trials where the probability of each favorable outcome is 0.3.
___
The attachment shows the calculation of these numbers using a graphing calculator. It lists them in reverse order of the expansion of (p+q)^5 shown above, so that they are the probabilities of 0–5 favorable outcomes in the order 0–5.
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that we need to use the equation y=a(x-h)^2+k. This means that h=-2 instead of 2 otherwise it would've been (x-2)^2-6. So Renaldo made the mistake of identifying h as 2 instead of -2. The second mistake Renaldo made is that since k=-6, there should be a vertical shift of 6 units down not 2.
