Answer:

0.02% probability a password chosen at random is 7654

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the numbers are chosen is important. For example, 7654 is a different password than 6754. So the permutations formula is used to solve this question.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

$P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}$

What is the probability a password chosen at random is 7654?

Only one desired outcome(password 7654), so $D = 1$

Total outcomes:

4 numbers from a set of 10. So

$P_{(10,4)} = \frac{10!}{(10-4)!} = 5040$

Probability:

$p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{1}{5040} = 0.0002$

0.02% probability a password chosen at random is 7654

Kumar bought some mangoes. The price of each mango () is found to be 6 more than the total number of mangoes bought by him and t

spayn [35]

Answer:

Price = 20, Amount = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

A = Amount of Mangoes

P = Price for 1 Mango

P = A + 6

280 = P * A

insert A+6 for P

280 = (A+6) * A

280 = 6A + A²

280=1*a^2+6*a | Vertausche beide Seiten der Gleichung.

1*a^2+6*a=280 | quadratische Ergänzung: ergänze auf beiden Seiten (3)^2

1*a^2+6*a+(3)^2=3^2+280 | Rechne 3 hoch 2 aus.

1*a^2+6*a+(3)^2=9+280 | addiere 9 und 280

1*a^2+6*a+(3)^2=9+280 | Fasse die rechte Seite mit Hilfe der binomischen Formel zusammen.

1*(1*a+(3))^2=289 | Auf beiden Seiten Quadratwurzel ziehen.

1*a+(3)=+-*289^0.5

1*a_1+(3)=289^0.5

1*a_1+3=289^0.5 | Ziehe die Wurzel aus 289

1*a_1+3=17 | -3

1*a_1=14

The point below will be reflected over the line y = x and then translated two units left and one unit up.5421-5-4-3-2-10234-1-2-

charle [14.2K]

A reflection over the line y=x implies exchanging the x and y coordinates of a point. For example if you take a generic point (a,b) then its reflection over y=x is (b,a). Our point is (-1,3) so its reflection over y=x is the point (3,-1).

Then we have to translate it two units left. Translating a point left means that we are moving towards negative x values so we need to substract 2 from the x coordinate:
