Whenever a problem says "one number" and "another number" we can substitute x and y. for this we have x=2y+1 and xy=1. since we know the value of x (2y+1) we can substitute it for the other equation to get (2y+1)y=10. simplify to get 2y^2+y=10. from here you can do a few methods to solve this, but the simplest in my opinion is by factoring. 

In order to factor it must be equal to 0, so we have 2y^2+y-10=0. We factor this and get y=5 (we also get y=-4 but it is an extraneous root). now we can plug that into either equation and find that x=2.

this means our two numbers are 5 and 2

Approximately 12.6% of all (untreated) Jonathan apples had bitter pit in a study conducted by the botanists Ratkowsky and Martin
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be a random variable that represents the first Jonathan apple chosen at random that has bitter pit.

a) P(X = n) = q(n-1)p, where q = 1 - p.

From the information given, probability if success, p = 12.6/100 = 0.126

b) for n = 3, the probability value from the geometric probability distribution calculator is

P(n = 3) = 0.096

For n = 5, the probability value from the geometric probability distribution calculator is

P(n = 5) = 0.074

For n = 12, the probability value from the geometric probability distribution calculator is

P(n = 12) = 0.8

c) For n ≥ 5, the probability value from the geometric probability distribution calculator is

P(n ≥ 5) = 0.58

d) the expected number of apples that must be examined to find the first one with bitter pit is the mean.

Mean = 1/p

Mean = 1/0.126 = 7.9

Approximately 8 apples
