Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$n-second\ number\\\\\dfrac{1}{5}n-first\ number\\\\n-\dfrac{1}{5}n=\dfrac{4}{5}n-difference\ between\ the\ two\ numbers\\\\\text{Equation:}\\\\\dfrac{4}{5}n=60\qquad\text{multiply both sides ny 5}\\\\\not5\cdot\dfrac{4}{\not5}n=(5)(60)\\\\4n=300\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\\dfrac{4\!\!\!\!\diagup n}{4\!\!\!\!\diagup}=\dfrac{300}{4}\\\\n=75\\\\\dfrac{1}{5}n=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)(75)=\dfrac{75}{5}=15$

Answer:

$\frac{ {7}^{4} ( - 2) {}^{4} {11}^{3} 6}{7 {}^{3} {2}^{2} {6}^{2} 11 {}^{2} } = \frac{7 \times {2}^{2} \times 11}{6} = \frac{308}{6} = \frac{154}{3} \\ \\ \frac{ {7}^{0} {12}^{0} {17}^{0} }{ {57}^{0} + ( {42}^{0} \times ( {13}^{0} ))} = \frac{1}{1 + 1} = \frac{ 1}{2}$

What are the zeros of the function below?

Ivan

When you want to find zeros of rational expression you need to find at which points numerator is equal to zero. In this case, we have the product of three expressions.
$x(x-1)(x+11)=0$
A product is equal to zero whenever one of the factors is equal to zero.
That means that zeros of our functions are:
1) $x=0$
2) $x-1=0$
$x=1$
3) $x+11=0$
$x=-11$
The final answer is a. Function has zeros at (0, 1, -11).

For this you will have to make a tree diagram
it will be so much easier although there is a way to do it

probability of getting heads is = 1/2 there for 10 tosses its (1/20)^10
