Answer:

k = 77/10

Step-by-step explanation:

The jar consist of blue, red and green marbles . The probability of each of them can be described as follows.

probability of blue marbles = 2/7

probability of red marbles = 3/k

probability of green marbles = 5/2k

The sum of the individual probability is equals to 1. Therefore,

2/7 + 3/k + 5/2k = 1

collect like terms

(6 + 5)/2k = 1 - 2/7

11/2k =(7 - 2) /7

11/2k = 5/7

cross multiply

10k = 77

divide both sides by 10

k = 77/10

Daniel is printing out copies of a presentation. It takes 3 minutes to print a color copy and 1 minute to print a black-and-whit
Effectus [21]
Work the information to set inequalities that represent each condition or restriction.

2) Name the variables. 

c: number of color copies
b: number of black-and-white copies

3) Model each restriction:

i) <span>It takes 3 minutes to print a color copy and 1 minute to print a black-and-white copy.
</span><span>
</span><span>3c + b
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>ii) He needs to print at least 6 copies ⇒ c + b ≥ 6
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>iv) And must have the copies completed in no more than 12 minutes ⇒</span>

3c + b ≤ 12
<span />

4) Additional restrictions are c ≥ 0, and b ≥ 0 (i.e. only positive values for the number of each kind of copies are acceptable)

5) This is how you graph that:

i) 3c + b ≤ 12: draw the line 3c + b = 12 and shade the region up and to the right of the line.

ii) c + b ≥ 6: draw the line c + b = 6 and shade the region down and to the left of the line.

iii) since c ≥ 0 and b ≥ 0, the region is in the first quadrant.

iv) The final region is the intersection of the above mentioned shaded regions.

v) You can see such graph in the attached figure.

It took Fred 17 days to save $36.55. At that rate, how long would it take him to save $70.95?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Fred would take 33 days to save $ 70.95.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of days (t) is directly proportional to the quantity of money saved (c), in monetary units, then we can calculate the time taken to save $ 70.95 by simple rule of three:

t = 17\,d\,\times \frac{\$\,70.95}{\$\,36.55}

t = 33\,d

Fred would take 33 days to save $ 70.95.

Given the Function:
sergey [27]
F(x)=-2e^x
x=3
f(3)=-2e^3
pemdas so exponents first
e^3
e=2.718281828454590
cube that
20.0855

now we have
-2 times 20.0855=-40.1711

answer should be -40.1711
(I see what you did wrong, if -6=-2 times e^3, divide -2, 3=e^3, maybe you just put -2 times 3 by mistake)
