Answer:0.0128

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are 35 gems out of which there are 10 real diamonds and 25 are fake diamonds.

Probability that  the last gem burglar steals is second real diamond in the set of four

there can three possibilities

a)Real , fake, fake , real

b)fake , real , fake , real

c)fake, fake, real ,real

a)P=\frac{10}{35}\times \frac{25}{34}\times \frac{24}{33}\times \frac{9}{32}=\frac{25\times 24\times 10\times 9}{35\times 34\times 33\times 32}                    

b)P=\frac{25}{35}\times \frac{10}{34}\times \frac{24}{33}\times \frac{9}{32}=\frac{25\times 24\times 10\times 9}{35\times 34\times 33\times 32}

c)P=\frac{25}{35}\times \frac{24}{34}\times \frac{10}{33}\times \frac{9}{32}=\frac{25\times 24\times 10\times 9}{35\times 34\times 33\times 32}

P_{total}=3\times =\frac{25\times 24\times 10\times 9}{35\times 34\times 33\times 32}=\frac{54000}{1256640}=0.0128

What is the degree of the polynomial and what the y-intercept
Arada [10]

Answer:

Polynom degree: 5

Y intercept point: (0, 80)

Step-by-step explanation:

P(x)=(x+5)(x+4)²(x+1)²

When you expand, the highest power of x is 1 for first term (x+5), 2 for second term (x+4)² and again 2 for (x+1)². Overall, x⁵ will be the x term with highest power. So the degree of the polynom is 5.

The y intercept, i.e. intersection with OY axis, happens for x=0. Thus, P(0)=5×4²×1²=5×16=80. The y intercept point is (0, 80)

Please give an explanation and the answer to this question for 15 points thanks.
Alchen [17]

Answer:

y=29

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the angles are across a vertex from one another, they are congruent and equal. You can also see this by reflecting  or folding it in half through the vertex. They will be the same. This means we can write the following equation and solve using inverse operations:

4y-8=79+y

4y-y-8=79+y-y

3y-8=79

3y-8+8=79+8

3y=87

y=29
