ANSWER

$\sqrt{13} = 3.606$

to the nearest thousandth.

EXPLANATION

The given irrational number is

$\sqrt{13}$

We use the calculator to evaluate this to obtain,

$\sqrt{13} = 3.605551...$

To round to the nearest thousandth means we are rounding to 3 decimal places.

The third decimal place is 5.

The next number is 5 so we round up.

$\sqrt{13} = 3.606$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$P_1=$ Probability of clearing exam in 1 st attempt=0.5

$P_2=$ Probability of clearing exam in 2 nd attempt=0.7

$P_3=$ Probability of clearing exam in 3 rd attempt=0.8

Probability that she passes the exam $=P(1 st\ attempt)+P(1\ fail)\cdot P(2\ pass)+P(1\ fail)\cdot P(2\ fail)\cdot P(3 rd pass)$

$P=0.5+0.5\times 0.7+0.5\times 0.3\times 0.8=0.97$

(b)P(Pass qualification on 2nd try|passes qualification)

P(Pass qualification on 2nd try|passes qualification) $=\frac{P(fail\ on\ 1 )\cdot P(pass\ in\ 2nd)}{P(passes)}$

P(Pass qualification on 2nd try|passes qualification) $=\frac{0.5\times 0.7}{0.97}=0.3608$

-9x-6y=15,9x-10y=145

vazorg [7]

-9x-6y=15

9x-10y=145

Find y first by eliminating the x.

Add the two equations together.

-9x+9x-6y+-10y=15+145

-6y+-10y=15+145

-6y-10y=160

-16y=160

divide both sides by -16 to get +y

-16y/-16=160/-16

y=-10

Use the substitution method to find x

-9x-6y=15

-9x-6(-10)=15

Do the bracket first

-9x+60=15

Move +60 to the other side. Sign changes from +60 to -60.

-9x+60-60=15-60

-9x=-45

Divide both sides by -9

-9x/-9=-45/-9

x=5

Use the algebraic expressions for the length and width of Marlene's living room found in the

krok68 [10]

Answer:

<em>The area of Marlien's living room is 420 square ft</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Before calculating the real dimensions of Marlien's living room, we must find the value of x.

Given the total shape of the house is a rectangle, then both widths must be equal and both lengths must be equal.

The widths are already written width identical expressions x-2+x, but the lengths are given as different functions of x. Equating both expressions, we have:

$2x-10+x-2+\frac{1}{2}x-4+x-2=2x+2+\frac{1}{2}x-4+x-2$

Simplifying:

-10 + x - 2 = 2

x = 10 + 2 + 2

x = 14

Since x=14 feet, the dimensions of Marlien's living room are

width=x=14 feet

length=2x+2=30 feet

Thus the area is:

A = 14*30 = 420 square ft

The area of Marlien's living room is 420 square ft
