Students in an Algebra 1 class will perform the following experiment and then model it mathematically. They begin with 128 two-c

olored counters (a chip that has a yellow side and a red side) in a bag and complete the following steps:
Pour the counters from the bag onto the floor.
Count the number of counters that land on yellow.
Record the trial number and the number of counters that landed on yellow.
Put the counters that landed on yellow back into the bag and leave the rest on the floor (off to the side).
Steps 1 to 4 constitute one trial of the experiment. Repeat trials until no counters land on yellow.

Question 1
POSSIBLE POINTS: 1
Part A

Select the equation that best represents f(n), the number of yellow counters that land on yellow (and are put back into the bag) at the end of trial n, when n≥1?


A f(n)=128(12)nf of n is equal to 128 times 1 half to the n th power

B f(n)=128−12nf of n is equal to 128 minus 1 half n
Question 2

Part B

How many trials would the students most likely need to run until exactly one counter lands yellow side up (and is put into the bag)? Use mathematics to justify your response.

dmitriy555 [2]
Delta(Y)/Y = 0.05 -2Delta(u) 

=0.05-2(0.05-0.03) = 0.05-0.04 = 0.01 = 1%

So output (GDP) will increase by 1%

What are the potential solutions of In(x^2-25)=0?
Maslowich

Answer:

x =\pm \sqrt{26}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

  • ln ( x² - 25 ) = 0

And we need to find the potential solutions of it. The given equation is the logarithm of x² - 25 to the base e . e is Euler's Number here. So it can be written as ,

<u>Equation</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

\implies log_e {(x^2-25)}= 0

<u>In </u><u>general</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

  • If we have a logarithmic equation as ,

\implies log_a b = c

Then this can be written as ,

\implies a^c = b

In a similar way we can write the given equation as ,

\implies e^0 = x^2 - 25

  • Now also we know that a^0 = 1 Therefore , the equation becomes ,

\implies 1 = x^2 - 25 \\\\\implies x^2 = 25 + 1 \\\\\implies x^2 = 26 \\\\\implies x =\sqrt{26} \\\\\implies x = \pm \sqrt{ 26}

<u>Hence</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>of </u><u>the</u><u> given</u><u> equation</u><u> is</u><u> </u><u>±</u><u>√</u><u>2</u><u>6</u><u>.</u>

Find the missing angle please!!
beks73 [17]
Step 1: All angles in a triangle must add up to 180! Therefore, in the upper triangle, add up the two you know 85+35=120 so the missing angle is 60.
Step 2: Bottom triangle. Your new angle above (60) is the pair of the opposite angle - so it too is 60. So now you know 2 of the 3 angles: 60+64=124 Subtract that from 180 and you get 56...which is the answer for ?

What is y+7/7y÷3y^2+21y/14y−5 simplified?
Soloha48 [4]
This becomes...........

[(y+7)/7y] x [(14y-5)/(3y^2+21y)]= [(y+7)/7y] x [(14y-5)/3y(y+7)]= [1/7y] x [(14y-5)/3y]= [(14y-5)/21y]

Which fraction is equivalent to 9/13?
Doss [256]
9/13 is not a fraction that can be simplified: the two numbers don't have a divisor in common.

Let's bring all the other fractions into their simplest form too:

A.6/10=3/5
B. 2/3 This is the simplest form already
C.36/52 =18/26=9/13 ( I divided both numbers by 2 each time)


.... and we don't have to look further, we have already found the right answer: 9/13 is equivalent to 36/52.
