Step-by-step explanation:
1)
First of all, we notice that the spinner is divided into 8 sections of equal size.
So the number of sections is
n = 8
Secondly, we note that each section has the same size: this means that the probability of the spinner landing on each section is the same.
The probabilty of a certain event A to occur is given by
where
a is the number of successfull outcomes (in which A occurs)
n is the total number of possible outcomes
Here we want to find
= probability that the spinner lands on section 7
Here we have:
(only 1 outcome is successfull: the one in which the spinner lands on section 7)
Therefore, the probability is
2)
Here we want to find the probability that the spinner lands on an even numbered section.
As before, the total number of possible outcomes his:
which corresponds to: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
The even-numbered sections are:
2, 4, 6, 8
So, the number of successfull outcomes is
Because there are only 4 even-numbered sections.
Therefore, the probability that the spinner lands on an even numbered section is:
The topics you should learn are equating denominators and fractions. This is summing up simple fractions.
So we have to make denominators' numbers the same in order to sum up them all (we can sum fractions if the denominators are the same) , and we did it by cross product (that thing on the picture)
Equating by lcm (least common multiple) is the easiest way, because you might see bigger numbers on other questions, and cross product will bring much bigger numbers, so this technic might confuse you.
By the way lcm of 4 and 5 is already 20
Hope it helps!
Answer:
See attached
Step-by-step explanation:
Given function:
- y = -2x² + 5x + 8
Table and graph are attached
Zeros are included in the graph
<u>Zero's are obtained:</u>
x = 0 ⇒ y = 8
y = 0 ⇒ Solving quadratic equation
- -2x² + 5x + 8 = 0
- x = (-5 ± √(25 + 2*4*8))/-4
- x = 3.608
- x = -1.108
So zeros are (0, 8), (3.608, 0) and (-1.108, 0)
