Mathematics

Contact [7]3 years ago
4 0

For each coin, there are <u>2 outcomes</u>, heads (H) or tails (T), so for the <u>3 coins</u>, the number of outcomes are:

2 x 2 x 2 = <u>8 outcomes:</u>

HHH / HHT / HTH / THH / TTT / TTH / THT / HTT

Out of all these outcomes, there are <u>3 ways</u>, we get exactly 2 Heads:

HHT / HTH / THH

So, the probability of exactly 2 coins landing on Heads is 3/8, or 0.375

If John can mow the lawn in 2/3 of an hour and George can mow the lawn in 1 hour, how long will they take to mow the lawn togeth
snow_tiger [21]
This is esay to do when you realize the the speed of mowing is addtive. This is if John mows at 1 lawn / (2/3) hour and Gerge mows at 1 lawn /  1hour, the total speed of mowing is:

1 / (2/3) + 1 = 3/2 + 1 = 5/2

=> 5/2 of lawn per hour

Now, the time is calcualted as the amount of lawn divided by the speed:

1 lawn / (5/2 lawn/hour) = 2/5 hour.

Answer: 2/5 of an hour.

Write the standard equation of the circle with the given center and passes through the given point. Center (7,-2); Point= (1,-6)
vodomira [7]

Answer:

(x - 7)² + (y + 2)² = (2√13)²

Step-by-step explanation:

We already know that the center is at (7, -2), but must find the radius.  The radius is the distance between the points (7, -2) and (1, -6):

r = √ [6² + 4²] ) = √(36 + 16) = √52 = √4√13 = 2√13.

Then the desired equation is (x - 7)² + (y + 2)² = (2√13)²
