<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Probability that the surgery is successful for exactly 6 patients is 0.088.</em>

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<em>The total number of patients is 10 and the probability of success is 0.8.</em>

We have to determine the probability of success of the surgery of exactly 6 patients.

<em>6 patients can be selected from 10 patients in nC_r  ways.</em>

<em>nC_r=10C_6= \frac {10!}{6!(10-6)!}</em>

<em>= \frac{10!}{(6! \times 4!)}</em>

<em>= \frac {3628800}{(720 \times 24)}</em>

<em>=210</em>

Let us consider a combination SSSSSSFFFF where S denotes success and F denotes failure. The probability of this combination is given by

<em>0.8^6 \times 0.2^4  since the chance of success is 0.8 and chance of failure is 0.2.</em>

There are 210 such different combinations possible and the probability of every combination is the same. So we have to sum up all the probabilities to determine the final probability.

<em>Therefore the probability that surgery is successful for 6 patients is 0.8^6 \times 0.2^4 \times 210=0.088</em>

The number of teams who entered in a 3-on-3 charity basketball tournament can be modeled by function T, where x is the number of
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

<u>Option A:</u>

R(x)=20x^2+300x+1080

Explanation:

The revenue, R(x) is the product of the number of teams who entered the tournament, T(x), times the entry fee paid by each team, F(x); then you can write:

  • R(x)=T(x)\times F(x)

Thus you must multiply the two functions (polynomials):

  • R(x)=(4x+24)\times (5x+45)

Use distributive property:

R(x)=(4x+24)\times (5x+45)=(4x)(5x)+(4x)(45)+(24)(5x)+(24)(45)

Simplify:

R(x)=(4x)(5x)+(4x)(45)+(24)(5x)+(24)(45)=20x^2+180x+120x+1080

Add like terms:

R(x)=20x^2+180x+120x+1080=20x^2+300x+1080

A car is traveling in a race. The car went from the initial velocity of 35 m/s to the final velocity of 65m/s in 5 seconds what
artcher [175]

The acceleration is defined as the ratio between the change in velocity and the time elapsed to perform such a change.

These "changes" are indicated with the capital greek letter delta, \Delta, and when you write \Delta x you mean the difference between the finial and the inital values of the variable x:

\Delta x = x_{\text{fin}} - x_{\text{init}}

So, the acceleration is defined as

a = \dfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \dfrac{v_{\text{fin}} - v_{\text{init}}}{t_{\text{fin}} - t_{\text{init}}}

In this case, the initial velocity is 35, the final velocity is 65. Assuming we start the clock at the beginning of the observation, the inital time is 0 and the final time is 5. So, we have

a = \dfrac{65-35}{5-0} = \dfrac{30}{5} = 6m/s^2

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP I TRULY DO NOT UNDERSTAND
IceJOKER [234]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{f^{-1}(x) =  \sqrt[3]{\frac{x+4}{9} } }

f(x) = 9x^{3} - 4

Find the inverse by replacing f(x) with y and swapping the x and y variables:

x = 9y^{3} - 4

Isolate y by adding 4 to both sides:

x + 4 = 9y^{3}

Divide both sides by 9:

\frac{x+4}{9}= y^{3}

Take the cube root of both sides:

y = \sqrt[3]{\frac{x+4}{9} }\\\\f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt[3]{\frac{x+4}{9} }
