Answer:

Probabilities can be written as fractions, ratios, or as a percentage.

Step-by-step explanation:

If someone asks to flip a coin for heads or tails it has a probability of 1:2, 1/2, or 50% to land on either sides.. They all mean the same value.

A carpenter purchased 50 ft of redwood and 80 ft of pine for a total cost of $285. A second purchase, at the same prices, includ

Marizza181 [45]

Hey there!!

Let us take the price of the redwood as ' x ' and pine as ' y '

Then , we take it into an equation. We get,

50x + 80y = 285 -------------- ( 1 )

80x + 50y = 339 -------------- ( 2 )

Now, multiply the first equation with 8 and the second equation with 5

400x + 640y = 2280

400x + 250y = 1695

Now subtract the second equation from the first

390y = 585

y = 585 / 390

y = $1.5

Now substitute this into any equation

50x + ( 80 ) ( 1.5 ) = 285

50x + 120 = 285

50x = 165

x = 165 / 50

x = $3.3

Redwood = $3.3

Pine = $1.5

Hope helps!

Use Newton’s Method to find the solution to x^3+1=2x+3 use x_1=2 and find x_4 accurate to six decimal places. Hint use x^3-2x-2=

luda_lava [24]

Let $f(x) = x^3 - 2x - 2$ . Then differentiating, we get

$f'(x) = 3x^2 - 2$

We approximate $f(x)$ at $x_1=2$ with the tangent line,

$f(x) \approx f(x_1) + f'(x_1) (x - x_1) = 10x - 18$

The $x$ -intercept for this approximation will be our next approximation for the root,

$10x - 18 = 0 \implies x_2 = \dfrac95$

Repeat this process. Approximate $f(x)$ at $x_2 = \frac95$ .

$f(x) \approx f(x_2) + f'(x_2) (x-x_2) = \dfrac{193}{25}x - \dfrac{1708}{125}$

Then

$\dfrac{193}{25}x - \dfrac{1708}{125} = 0 \implies x_3 = \dfrac{1708}{965}$

Once more. Approximate $f(x)$ at $x_3$ .

$f(x) \approx f(x_3) + f'(x_3) (x - x_3) = \dfrac{6,889,342}{931,225}x - \dfrac{11,762,638,074}{898,632,125}$

Then

$\dfrac{6,889,342}{931,225}x - \dfrac{11,762,638,074}{898,632,125} = 0 \\\\ \implies x_4 = \dfrac{5,881,319,037}{3,324,107,515} \approx 1.769292663 \approx \boxed{1.769293}$

Compare this to the actual root of $f(x)$ , which is approximately <u>1.76929</u>2354, matching up to the first 5 digits after the decimal place.

The Taieri Plain in New Zealand is 6 feet below sea level (or –6 feet). If you are standing 3 feet above sea level, is your elev

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite numbers are the same distance from 0 on the number line, but in opposite directions. Steps I would follow:

first, check the directions to make sure they are opposite,

then read the digits, or count the tick marks or compare lengths with dividers or ruler or marks on a piece of paper to see if the distances are the same.

3 is not the opposite of -6

Therefore 6 is the opposite of -6

If the ratio of the sides of two squares is 3:1, what is the ratio of their perimeters?

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Ratio of the perimeters =3:1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that : Ratio of the sides of two squares is 3:1

To find : Ratio of their perimeters

Solution : Let the length of the sides are 3:1 = 3x : x

Formula of perimeter of square = 4(side)

Using the formula ,

Perimeter of 1 square = 4×3x= 12x

Perimeter of 2 square = 4×x= 4x

Ratio of the perimeter of 1 square and 2 square = 12x : 4x

= 3 : 1

Answer:

9.3 simplified should be 3 if this isn't the answer then I don't know what is anymore because I just wasted my time if its wrong ;-;

Step-by-step explanation:

also I cant put the explanation sorry it says it has a link or inappropriate words in it when it doesn't.

9.3 divided by 3 is 3 so sense that isn't a fraction or anything i guess 3 is the answer in not to sure-
