Mathematics

Naya [18.7K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

a² - 14a - 15 = 0 (quadratic equation)

Emily's age = 15 years

Tuli's age = 15 - 10 = 5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

let

Emily age = a

Tuli age =  a - 10

Two years ago their ages will be as follows.

Emily's age = a - 2

Tuli's age = a - 10 - 2 = a - 12

The product of their ages 2 years ago is 39.

(a - 2)(a - 12) = 39

a² - 12a - 2a + 24 - 39 = 0

a² - 14a - 15 = 0 (quadratic equation)

To get a

a² + a - 15a - 15 = 0

a(a + 1) - 15(a + 1)

(a + 1)(a - 15)

a = -1 or 15

we can only use 15 as it is positive.

DJ Titus is making a playlist for a radio show; he is trying to decide what 10 songs to play and in what order they should be pl
Dominik [7]

Answer:

Different playlists possible = 18287141644800

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - DJ Titus is making a playlist for a radio show; he is trying to

            decide what 10 songs to play and in what order they should be

            played.

            Step 1 of 2 : If he has his choices narrowed down to 7 blues,

                                 7 disco, 5 pop, and 7 reggae songs.

To find - He wants to play no more than 4 reggae songs.

              How many different playlists are possible ?

Proof -

Given that he wants to play no more that 4 reggae songs.

So the possibility of choice of reggae song is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

Now,

Case I -

If 0 reggae song is selected

⇒All 10 songs selected from 7 blue, 7 disco, 5 pop,

Number of ways = ¹⁹C₁₀ ₓ ⁷C₀ = 92,378

Case II -

If 1 reggae song is selected

⇒All 9 songs selected from 7 blue, 7 disco, 5 pop,

Number of ways = ¹⁹C₉ ₓ ⁷C₁ = 646,646

Case III -

If 2 reggae song is selected

⇒All 8 songs selected from 7 blue, 7 disco, 5 pop,

Number of ways = ¹⁹C₈ ₓ ⁷C₂ = 1,587,222

Case IV -

If 3 reggae song is selected

⇒All 7 songs selected from 7 blue, 7 disco, 5 pop,

Number of ways = ¹⁹C₇ ₓ ⁷C₃ = 1,763,580

Case V -

If 4 reggae song is selected

⇒All 6 songs selected from 7 blue, 7 disco, 5 pop,

Number of ways = ¹⁹C₆ ₓ ⁷C₄ = 949,620

So,

Total possible ways = 92,378+ 646,646+ 1,587,222+ 1,763,580+ 949,620

                               = 5,039,446

⇒Total possible ways = 5,039,446

Now,

Also the 10 songs selected can arranged themselves in 10! ways. ( because order of song played does not matter )

∴ we get

Different playlists possible = 10! × 5,039,446

                                          = 18287141644800

⇒Different playlists possible = 18287141644800

Solve the equation by clearing the decimals: 0.8x -0.3 = 0.7x + 0.2
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

0.8x - 0.3 - 0.7x = 0.2

0.8x - 0.7x = 0.2 + 0.3

0.1x = 0.2 + 0.3

0.1x = 0.5

An installation technician for a specialized communication system is dispatched to a city only when 3 or more orders have been p
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

0.3233

0.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean, λ = 0.25 for a 100,000 per week

For a population of 800,000 :

λ = 800,000 / 100,000 * 0.25 = 8 * 0.25 = 2 orders per week

Probability that technician is required after one week ;

After one week, order is beyond 2 ; hence, order, x ≥ 3

P(x ≥ 3) = 1 - [p(x=0) + p(x= 1) + p(x =2)]

P(x ≥ 3) = 1 - e^-λ(1 + 2¹/1! + 2²/2!)

P(x ≥ 3) = 1 - e^-2(1+2+2) = 1 - e^-2*5 = 1 - e^-10

P(x ≥ 3) = 1 - e^-2 * 10

P(x ≥ 3) = 1 - 0.6766764

P(x ≥ 3) = 0.3233

B.)

Mean, λ for more than 2 weeks = 2 * 2 = 4

P(x < 2) = p(x = 0) + p(x = 1)

P(x < 2) = e^-4(0 + 4^1/1!)

P(x < 2) = e^-4(0 + 4) = e^-4(5)

P(x < 2) = e^-4(5) = 0.0183156 * 5 = 0.0915

P(x < 2) = 0.09
