it took heather 2/3 of an hour to read 20 pages in her library book. how long did it take her to read one page

1 answer:

6 0

2/3 hour . 1 hour = 60 minutes.

2/3 hour = (2/3) * 60

= 40 minutes.

20 pages took (2/3) hour = 40 minutes.

20 pages took her 40 minutes to read.

1 page = 40/20 = 2 minutes.

1 page took her 2 minutes to read.

Which of the following is a polynomial with roots: − square root of 5 , square root of 5 , and −3?

tresset_1 [31]

Roots: - √5 , √5, and - 3

=> these are factors of the polynomial: (x + √5), (x - √5), and (x + 3).

Multiply those three factors:

(x + √5) (x - √5) ( x + 3) = [x^2 - 5] ( x + 3 ) = x^2 + 3x^2 - 5x - 15

Therefore the polynomial x^2 + 3x^2 - 5x - 15 is a polynomial with the given roots.

Answer: option B. x^3 + 3x^2 - 5x - 15

A basketball player has made 70% of his foul shots during the season. If he shoots 3 foul shots in tonight's game, what is the

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

There is a 34.3% probability that he makes all of the shots.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each foul shot that he takes during the game, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he makes it, or he misses. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
