Answer:

D (10)

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in the x-values is 8 and the difference in y-values is 6; if we draw a line for each difference and connect the points, we get a right triangle. Use pythagorean's theorem of a^2 + b^2 = c^2; 36 (6^2) + 64 (8^2) = 100 (10^2). Square root 100 to get 10

3x is a ____ of 3x^2 - 6x^3.

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

$\boxed{factor}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

3x * x = 3x^2

3x * 2x = 6x^3

So 3x is a factor of 3x^2 - 6x^3.

Hope this helps :)

A five-digit number starts with a number between 4-9 in the first position, with no restrictions on the remaining 4 digits. a

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

(a) $Pr = 0.3024$

(b) $Pr = 0.6976$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Start = \{5,6,7,8\}$ i.e. between 4 and 9

$n(Start) =4$

$Digits = 5$

Solving (a): Probability that each of the 5 digit are different

Since there is no restriction;

The total possible selection is as follows:

$First\ digit = 4$ (i.e. any of the 4 start digits)

$Second\ digit = 10\\$ (i.e. any of the 10 digits 0 - 9)

$Third\ digit = 10$ (i.e. any of the 10 digits 0 - 9)

$Fourth\ digit = 10$ (i.e. any of the 10 digits 0 - 9)

$Fifth\ digit = 10$ (i.e. any of the 10 digits 0 - 9)

So, the total is:

$Total = 4 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10$

$Total = 40000$

For selection that all digits are different, the selection is:

$First\ digit = 4$ (i.e. any of the 4 start digits)

$Second\ digit = 9$ (i.e. any of the remaining 9)

$Third\ digit = 8$ (i.e. any of the remaining 8)

$Fourth\ digit = 7$ (i.e. any of the remaining 7)

$Fifth\ digit = 6$ (i.e. any of the remaining 6)

So:

$Selection =4 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6$

$Selection =12096$

So, the probability is:

$Pr = \frac{Selection}{Total}$

$Pr = \frac{12096}{40000}$

$Pr = 0.3024$

Solving (b): At least 1 repeated digit

The probability calculated in (a) is the all digits are different i.e. P(None)

So, using laws of complement

We have:

$P(At\ least\ 1) = 1 - P(None)$

So, we have:

$Pr= 1 - 0.3024$

$Pr = 0.6976$

Solving (c): An expression to model the probability.

Using (a) as a point of reference, we have;

$Pr = \frac{Selection}{Total}$

Where

$Selection =4 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6$ ---- for selection of 5 i.e. n = 5

$Total = 4 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10$

$Selection =4 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6$

This can be rewritten as:

$Selection = 4 * ^9P_4$

4 can be expressed as: 5 - 1

So, we have:

$Selection = (5-1) *^9P_{5-1}$

Substitute n for 5

$Selection = (n-1) *^9P_{n-1}$

$Selection = (n-1)^9P_{n-1}$

$Total = 4 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10$

This can be rewritten as:

$Total = 4 * 10^4$

$Total = (5-1) * 10^{5-1}$

$Total = (n-1) * 10^{n-1}$

$Total = (n-1) 10^{n-1}$

So, the expression is:

$Pr = \frac{(n-1)^9P_{n-1}}{(n-1)10^{n-1}}$

$Pr = \frac{^9P_{n-1}}{10^{n-1}}$

Where n represents the digit number

Alex wants to arrange chairs in such a way that the number of chairs in a row is equal to the number of columns. He has ordered

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In other to have the same number of chayes in both rows and columns ;

If the Number of chairs per row = x ; then number of chairs per column = x

Then the total number of chairs needed = x * x = x²

Hence, if there are 5100 chairs ;

Number of chairs needed more ;

Take the square root of 5100 ;the round to the next whole number :

B.) For number of chairs to be removed ;

Take the square root of 5100 and round down to the whole number.

Hence,

A.) = √5100 = 71.414 = 72

72² - 5100 = 84

B.) 5100 = 71.414 = 71

5100 - 71² =
