Answer:

(a) 0.4242

(b) 0.0707

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of ways of selecting 8 herbs from 12 is

$\binom{12}{8}=495$

(a) If 2 herbs are selected, then there are 8 - 2 = 6 herbs to be selected from 12 - 8 = 10. The number of ways of the selection is then

$\binom{10}{6}= 210$

Note that this is the number of ways that both are included. We would have multiplied by 2! if any of them were to be included.

The probability = $\dfrac{210}{495}=0.4242$

(b) If 5 herbs are selected, then there are 8 - 5 = 3 herbs to be selected from 12 - 5 = 7. The number of ways of the selection is then

$\binom{7}{3}= 35$

This is the number of ways that both are included. We would have multiplied by 5! if any of them were to be included. In that case, our probability will exceed 1; this implies that certainly, at least, one of them is included.

The probability = $\dfrac{35}{495}=0.0707$

Ice Cold Creamery will give a free ice cream maker to anyone who spends at least $100 on buckets of ice cream and frozen yogurt.

kotykmax [81]

Given:

Free ice cream maker to anyone who spends at least $100 on buckets of ice cream and frozen yogurt.

Each bucket of ice cream costs $7.28

Each bucket of frozen yogurt costs $8.21.

To find:

The inequality represents number of ice cream and frozen yogurt that she may buy in addition to get a free ice cream maker.

Solution:

Let i be the number of buckets of ice cream and y be the number of buckets of frozen yogurt.

According to the question, total amount spend on both must be greater than or equal to $100 to get a free ice cream maker.

$7.28i+8.21y\geq 100$

$8.21y\geq 100-7.28i$

Divide both sides by 8.21.

$y\geq \dfrac{100-7.28i}{8.21}$

Therefore, the required inequality is $y\geq \dfrac{100-7.28i}{8.21}$ .

The line L is a tangent to the curve with equation y= 4x^2 +1 . The line L cuts the y axis at (0,8) and has a positive gradient.

sergeinik [125]

A generic point on the graph of the curve has coordinates

$(x, 4x^2+1)$

The derivative gives us the slope of the tangent line at a given point:

$f(x) = 4x^2+1 \implies f'(x) = 8x$

Let k be a generic x-coordinate. The tangent line to the curve at this point will pass through $(k, 4k^2+1)$ and have slope $8k$

So, we can write its equation using the point-slope formula: a line with slope m passing through $(x_0, y_0)$ has equation

$y-y_0 = m(x-x_0)$

In this case, $(x_0, y_0)=(k, 4k^2+1)$ and $m=8k$ , so the equation becomes

$y-4k^2-1 = 8k(x-k)$

We can rewrite the equation as follows:

$y-4k^2-1 = 8k(x-k) \iff y = 8kx - 8k^2+4k^2+1 \iff y = 8kx-4k^2+1$

We know that this function must give 0 when evaluated at x=0:

$f(x) = 8kx-4k^2+1 \implies f(0) = -4k^2+1 = 8 \iff -4k^2 = 7 \iff k^2 = -\dfrac{7}{4}$

This equation has no real solution, so the problem looks impossible.
