Answer:

2/145

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation. If necessary, round to the nearest hundredth .x squared minus 21 x equals n

Andrew [12]

Part 1
We are given $x^2-21x=-4x$ . This can be rewritten as $x^2-18x=0$ .
Therefore, a=1, b=-18, c=0.
Using the quadratic formula
$x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-\left(-18\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-18\right)^2-4\left(1\right)\left(0\right)}}{2\left(1\right)}$
$x=\frac{18\pm 18}{2}$

The values of x are
$x_1=\frac{18-18}{2}=0$
$x_2=\frac{18+18}{2}=18$

Part 2
Since the values of y change drastically for every equal interval of x, the function cannot be linear. Therefore, the kind of function that best suits the given pairs is a quadratic function.

Part 3.
The first equation is $y=x^2+2$ .
The second equation is $y=3x+20$ .

We have
$x^2+2=3x+20$
$x^2-3x-18=0$
Factoring, we have
$\left(x-6\right)\left(x+3\right)=0$
Equating both factors to zero.
$x_1-6=0\rightarrow x_1=6$
$x_2+3=0\rightarrow x_2=-3$

When the value of x is 6, the value of y is
$y=3\left(6\right)+20=38$

When the value of x is -3, the value of y is
$y=3\left(-3\right)+20=11$

Therefore, the solutions are (6,38) or (-3,11)

In a certain country, the true probability of a baby being a girl is 0.469. Among the next seven randomly selected births in th

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The probability is 0.995 ( approx ).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X represents the event of baby girl,

The probability of a baby being a girl is, p = 0.469,

So, the probability of a baby who is not a girl is, q = 1 - 0.469 = 0.531,

Also, the total number of experiment, n = 7

Thus, by the binomial distribution formula,

$P(x)=^nC_x(p)^x q^{n-x}$

Where, $^nC_x=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The probability that all babies are girl or there is no baby boy,

$P(X=7)=^7C_7(0.469)^7(0.531)^{7-7}$

$=0.00499125661758$

Hence, the probability that at least one of them is a boy = 1 - P(X=7)

= 1 - 0.00499125661758

= 0.995008743382

≈ 0.995

X = 5/3 and m∠SPY = 8 1/3°.

Since PQ bisects the angle, the two angles formed by the bisector are equal:

11/2x - 5 = 4x - 5/2

We will first multiply everything by 2 to eliminate the fractions:
(11/2x)*2 - 5*2 = 4x*2 - (5/2)*2
11x - 10 = 8x - 5

Subtract 8x from each side:
11x - 10 - 8x = 8x - 5 - 8x
3x - 10 = -5

Add 10 to both sides:
3x - 10 + 10 = -5 + 10
3x = 5

Divide both sides by 3:
3x/3 = 5/3
x = 5/3

Now we will plug this in for x in both smaller angles and add them together to find the measure of ∠SPY:

11/2(5/3) - 5 + 4(5/3) - 5/2
55/6 - 5 + 20/3 - 5/2

We will rewrite everything using a denominator of 6:
55/6 - 30/6 + 40/6 - 15/6 = (55-30+40-15)/6 = 50/6 = 8 2/6 = 8 1/3°

A company buys pens at the rate of $7.50 per box for the first 10 boxes, $5.50 per box for the next 10 boxes, and $4.50 per box

photoshop1234 [79]

So it is really easy to solve firstly we can see how much does the first 10 boxes make which makes around 75$ obviously. Secondly 55$ for the next 10 boxes.

So for now we can simply calculate that we have spent around 130$ which means 20 boxes. The remaining money left is 18$ so we can buy 18/4.5 = 4 only 4 boxes with that money. Hence a total of 24 boxes.
