There are 1096 marbles in a bag. One of the marbles is to be randomly chosen from the bag. If the probability that a red marble

will be selected is 5/8, how many red marbles are in a bag?

Answer: 685 red marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets set up a proportion:

x/1096 = 5/8

(For every 8 marbles, 5 of them are red)

Then we cross multiply

5480 = 8x

and divide!

so 685 marbles

Part (1) : The solution is $729$

Part (2): The solution is $\frac{1}{16 x^{8}}$

Part (3): The solution is $\frac{2 x^{2}}{3 y z^{7}}$

Explanation:

Part (1): The expression is $3^{2} \cdot3^{4}$

Applying the exponent rule, $a^{b} \cdot a^{c}=a^{b+c}$ , we get,

$3^{2} \cdot 3^{4}=3^{2+4}$

Adding the exponent, we get,

$3^{2} \cdot3^{4}=3^6=729$

Thus, the simplified value of the expression is $729$

Part (2): The expression is $\left(2 x^{2}\right)^{-4}$

Applying the exponent rule, $a^{-b}=\frac{1}{a^{b}}$ , we have,

$\left(2 x^{2}\right)^{-4}=\frac{1}{\left(2 x^{2}\right)^{4}}$

Simplifying the expression, we have,

$\frac{1}{2^4x^8}$

Thus, we have,

$\frac{1}{16 x^{8}}$

Thus, the value of the expression is $\frac{1}{16 x^{8}}$

Part (3): The expression is $\frac{2 x^{4} y^{-4} z^{-3}}{3 x^{2} y^{-3} z^{4}}$

Applying the exponent rule, $\frac{x^{a}}{x^{b}}=x^{a-b}$ , we have,

$\frac{2x^{4-2}y^{-4+3}z^{-3-4}}{3}$

Adding the powers, we get,

$\frac{2x^{2}y^{-1}z^{-7}}{3}$

Applying the exponent rule, $a^{-b}=\frac{1}{a^{b}}$ , we have,

$\frac{2 x^{2}}{3 y z^{7}}$

Thus, the value of the expression is $\frac{2 x^{2}}{3 y z^{7}}$

I’ll give brainliest

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that it costs 37 cents to mail a letter that weighs 1 oz or less. This would mean that for x ≤ 1, P(x) should equal 37. Already, we can eliminate A and D.

We also know that it costs an additional 26 cents for at most another ounce added to the original 1 ounce. This means that for 1 < x ≤ 2, P(x) = 26 + 37 = 63. This is shown by B.

Thus, the answer is B.

A piece of cardboard is 13 inches by 26 inches. A square is to be cut from each corner and the sides folded up to make an open-t

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Hence the maximum possible volume will be the 778.53 c.c

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A rectangle with 13 x 26 dimensions

And corners are cut to form side squares.

To Find:

Maximum possible volume for box

Solution :

Consider a rectangle of 13 x 26 dimension with and side of square at corner be x.

(Refer the attachment)

Now,

Formulating the volume equation for the box

So corner square sides we are going to fold up which makes height of the box

and remaining part will be length and breadth

As shown in fig,

Length=26-x

breadth=13-x

And height will be x

$V(x)=x*(26-x)*(13-x)$

To get maximum volume differentiate the above equation,

$V(x)=x*(26*13-26*x-13*x+x^2)$

$V(x)=x^3-39x^2+338x\\$

$V'(x)=3x^2-78x+338$

$V''(x)=6x-78$

Now ,Solve the Quadratic Equation to get x values,

$3x^2-78x+338$ =0

x=[-b±(b^2-4ac)^1/2]/2a

x=[78±Sqrt[(78)^2-4*338*3)]/2*3

x=[78±Sqrt(3028)]/6

x=[78±55.027]/6

x=78+55.027/6 or x=78-55.027/6

x=22.17 or x=3.8288

Use these values in 6x-78 to know which value posses the max and min value for the function.

So when x=22.17

6x-78=6*22.17-78

=55.02>0 i.e function will have minimum value .

When x=3.8288

6*3.8288-78

=-55.0272<0 i.e. Function will have maximum value

Now, the function will defines the maximum volume

$V(x)=x^3-39x^2+338x$

$V(x)=3.8288^3-39*(3.82883)^2+338*3.8288$

$V(x)=56.13-571.73+1294.13$

$V(x)=778.53 C.C$
