Answer:

3. 60% probability the student is over the age of 21.4

4. 4.17% probability Biff was selected if you know the student selected was over the age of 21.

5. 0% probability Biff was selected if you know the student selected was 21 or younger

Step-by-step explanation:

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

In this question:

40 students

24 over the age of 21.

16 are 21 or younger.

3. Find the probability the student is over the age of 21.

24 of the 40 students are over the age of 21.

24/40 = 0.6

60% probability the student is over the age of 21.4

4. Find the probability Biff was selected if you know the student selected was over the age of 21.

24 students over the age of 21, one of which is Biff.

1/24 = 0.0417

4.17% probability Biff was selected if you know the student selected was over the age of 21.

5. Find the probability Biff was selected if you know the student selected was 21 or younger

Biff is not 21 or younger, he is over 21, so there are no desired outcomes.

So, 0% probability Biff was selected if you know the student selected was 21 or younger

-10v^9+8v^6+2v^5

10=5*2
8=2^3
2=2

The common factor is 2 and its least exponent is 1
The least exponent for the variable v is 5

Then, the GFC of the polynomial is 2v^5

Factoring:
2v^5 [ -(10v^9)/(2v^5)+(8v^6)/(2v^5)+(2v^5)/(2v^5) ] =
2v^5 (-5v^(9-5)+4v^(6-5)+1) =
2v^5 (-5v^4+4v+1)

6. It took Todd 9 hours to paint 4 rooms.
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

5 rooms

Step-by-step explanation:

4 rooms = 9 hours

9 hours = 540 minutes

1 room = 540 ÷ 4 = 135 minutes

60 x 12 = 720 minutes (12 hours)

720 ÷ 135 = 5.33333

5.3333 estimated to nearest whole number = 5

Let f(x)= x(2x-3)/(x+2)x. Find the domain, vertical and horizontal asymptote
Reptile [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain of a rational function is everywhere except where we set vertical asymptotes. or removable discontinues

Here, we have

\frac{x(2x - 3)}{(x + 2)x}

First, notice we have x in both the numerator and denomiator so we have a removable discounties at x.

Since, we don't want x to be 0,

We have a removable discontinuity at x=0

Now, we have

\frac{2x - 3}{x + 2}

We don't want the denomiator be zero because we can't divide by zero.

so

x + 2 = 0

x =  - 2

So our domain is

All Real Numbers except-2 and 0.

The vertical asymptors is x=-2.

To find the horinzontal asymptote, notice how the numerator and denomator have the same degree. So this mean we will have a horinzontal asymptoe of

The leading coeffixent of the numerator/ the leading coefficent of the denomiator.

So that becomes

\frac{2}{1}  = 2

So we have a horinzontal asymptofe of 2
