Answer:

The probability that Jenny picked a gray tile with her second pick given that she picked a blue tile with her first pick = 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

i.) there are 6 gray tiles and 3 blue tiles

ii) the probability that Jenny picked a blue tile first is given by

$\frac{number\hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm} blue\hspace{0.1cm} tiles }{total \hspace{0.1cm}number\hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm}tiles\hspace{0.1cm} } = \frac{3}{9} = \frac{1}{3}$

iii) the probability that Jenny picked a gray tile with her second pick without replacing the first tile $\frac{number\hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm} blue\hspace{0.1cm} tiles }{total \hspace{0.1cm}number\hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm}tiles\hspace{0.1cm} } \times \frac{number\hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm} gray\hspace{0.1cm} tiles }{total \hspace{0.1cm}number\hspace{0.1cm } of \hspace{0.1cm}tiles\hspace{0.1cm} - 1 } = \frac{3}{9} \times \frac{6}{8} = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25$

The probability that Jenny picked a gray tile with her second pick given that she picked a blue tile with her first pick = 0.25

Suppose you are climbing a hill whose shape is given by the equation z = 1400 − 0.005x2 − 0.01y2, where x, y, and z are measured

Anarel [89]

Answer: You start to ascend

Explanation:

Since you are walking due south and the positive y-axis points north, the y-coordinate decreases.

Let

$y'$ = y-coordinate after walking due south
$z'$ = z-coordinate (or the height) after walking due south

So, the point where you stand after walking due south has a coordinate of $(100, y', z')$ . Moreover,

$z' = 1,400 - 0.05(100)^2 - 0.01(y')^2
\\ \boxed{z' = 1350 - 0.01(y')^2}$

Since the y-coordinate decreases after walking due south and $z' = 1350 - 0.01(y')^2$ ,

$y' \leq 120\\ \Rightarrow (y')^2 \leq 120^2 = 14,400\\ \Rightarrow -0.01(y')^2 \geq -0.01(14,400) = -144\\ \Rightarrow z' = 1,350 - 0.01(y')^2 \geq 1,350 - 0.01(14,400) = 1,206\\ \Rightarrow \boxed{z' \geq 1,206}$

So, the height after walking due south exceeds 1,206 meters, which is the previous height before walking due south. Therefore, if you walk due south from point with coordinates (100, 120, 1206), you are ascending.

Find an expression which represents the difference when (2x − 6) is subtracted

Sloan [31]

Answer:

-2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x - 6) is subtracted from (7 - 5).

First term that into an equation.

Because our first term is being subtracted from our second one, our equation is written as:

(7 - 5) - (2x - 6).

Simplify the first term by subtracting:

7 - 5 = 2

Now simplify the second term by multiplying 2x - 6 by -1 to get them out of the parenthesis. We do this because there is a negative sign in front of it.

-1 (2x - 6)

-2x + 6

Now our equation is:

2 - 2x + 6

Combine like terms:

2 + 6 = 8

So -2x + 8

(2x - 6) subtracted from (7 - 5) is -2x+8

Solve for x:<br> 18x + 3x + 4 - 5 = 5(4x – 9

Luden [163]

Answer:
X= - 44
18x+3x+4-5=5(4x9
Collect like terms
21x+4-5=5(4x-9
More variable to the left hand side and change its sign
21x-20x-1=-45
Correct like terms
X=-45+1
Which is x=-44

Describe how to transform the quantity of the fifth root of x to the seventh power, to the third power into an expression with a

MrRa [10]

Fifth root of x is x^1/5 as an exponential expression. . This to the 7th power is

x ^(1/5 * 7) which is x^(7/5). Bringing this to the third power is x^ (21/5) which is your answer.
