Answer:

The correct answer are given by (A) \frac{1}{175000} ; (B) \frac{429}{175000}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of entries to the sweepstakes offered by Gemini Paper Products = 175,000.

Total number of prizes to be awarded includes 1 grand prize, 3 first prizes, 25 second prizes and 400 third prizes = 1 + 3 + 25 + 400 = 429.

(A) Required Probability for a person who has put one entry to win the grand prize is given by the fraction \frac{1}{175000}.

(B) Required Probability for a person who has put one entry to win any prize offered is given by \frac{429}{175000}.

A large chocolate bar has a base area of 47.1 square feet and it’s length is 0.7 feet longer than twice it’s width. Find the len
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

The dimensions of the bar are width = 4.68099 feet and length = 10.06198 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A chocolate bar has a rectangular shape, therefore it's area is given by the following formula:

area = width*length

In this case the length is 0.7 feet longer than twice the width, therefore:

length = 2*width + 0.7

Applying the second equation on the first one and using the data from the question we have:

47.1 = width*(2*width + 0.7)

47.1 = 2*width² + 0.7*width

2*width² + 0.7*width = 47.1

width² + 0.35*width = 23.55

width = \frac{-0.35 \pm \sqrt{0.35^2 -4*1*(-23.55)}}{2*1} = -0.175 \pm 4,85599

width = 4.68099 or width = -5.03099

Since the width can't be negative, it can only be 4.68099 feet.

length = 2*4.68099 + 0.7 = 10.06198 feet.

Identify the graph of 3i (See figures).
iren2701 [21]
Any complex number can be written in fallowing form:
Z = x + yi

When drawing complex numbers as point on x,y coordinate system we can use variables x and y to represent our coordinates in x y coordinate system.

Our complex number is:
Z = 3i which means
x = 0 and y = 3
x is real part of complex number and we draw it on x axis (real number axis) and y is imaginery part and we draw it on y axis (imaginery axis)

answer is point with coordinates (0,3) Graph 1
