Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Least common denominator of 4 & 8 = 8

\frac{-1}{4}+\frac{-3}{8}=\frac{-1*2}{4*2}+\frac{-3}{8}\\\\=\frac{-2}{8}+\frac{-3}{8}\\\\=\frac{-2+[-3]}{8}\\\\=\frac{-5}{8}

Please help explain how to solve problem 16?
Anarel [89]
Here is the problem.....√(15x + 10) = 2x+3

to remove the square root, we do the opposite which is to square everything.

(√(15x + 10))² = (2x + 3)²      (the square negates the square root)
15x + 10 = (2x +3)(2x + 3)    (use the distributive property to continue)
15x + 10 = 4x² + 6x + 6x + 9  (combine like terms)
15x + 10 = 4x² + 12x + 9      (subtract 15x and 10 from each side)
-15x - 10          -15x - 10
0 = 4x² - 3x - 1                      (factor completely)
(x - 1) (4x + 1)                    (set each to equal 0)

x - 1 = 0                4x + 1 = 0
x = 1                      4x = -1
                               x = -1/4

place both into the equation to check for reasonableness...we see the negative number is not reasonable, but the x value of 1 is a solution.

The lateral surface area of cone A is equal to the lateral surface area of cylinder B.
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

Lateral area of cone is given by: πrl

where r is the radius and l is the slant height

Here r=r and l=2h

Hence, lateral area of cone A= π×r×2h

                                            =  2πrh

Lateral area of cylinder is given by: 2πrh

where r is the radius and h is the height

Lateral area of cylinder B=2πrh

Clearly, both the lateral areas are equal

Hence, the statement that:The lateral surface area of cone A is equal to the lateral surface area of cylinder B. is:

True

In 1898 L. J. Bortkiewicz published a book entitled The Law of Small Numbers. He used data collected over 20 years to show that
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

(a) The probability of more than one death in a corps in a year is 0.1252.

(b) The probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years is 0.0130.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of soldiers killed by horse kicks in 1 year.

The random variable X\sim Poisson(\lambda = 0.62).

The probability function of a Poisson distribution is:

P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^{x}}{x!};\ x=0,1,2,...

(a)

Compute the probability of more than one death in a corps in a year as follows:

P (X > 1) = 1 - P (X ≤ 1)

             = 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1)

             =1-\frac{e^{-0.62}(0.62)^{0}}{0!}-\frac{e^{-0.62}(0.62)^{1}}{1!}\\=1-0.54335-0.33144\\=0.12521\\\approx0.1252

Thus, the probability of more than one death in a corps in a year is 0.1252.

(b)

The average deaths over 7 year period is: \lambda=7\times0.62=4.34

Compute the probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years as follows:

P(X=0)=\frac{e^{-4.34}(4.34)^{0}}{0!}=0.01304\approx0.0130

Thus, the probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years is 0.0130.

Help me please <br><br> will get rewared brainly if correct answer
larisa [96]

Well, split it into 3 shapes

21 x 10 = 210

3 x 6 = 18

2 x 6 = 12

210 + 18 + 12 = 240 square cm

120 Bagels
Explanation:
if you get 12 bagels for 5 dollars, and your wondering how many you’d get for 50 dollars, 5 times 10 is 50 and 10 times 12 is 120. That doesn’t make the most sense but yes
