Answer:

850 red beads

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to do this problem is to set a proportion.

red beads/red beads = total beads/total beads

Let x = the no. of red beads in the bag

x/17 = 7500/150

x = 17(7500)/150 = 850 red beads

Meg initially has 3 hours of pop music and 2 hours of classical music in her collection. Every month onwards, the hours of pop m
zlopas [31]

Answer:  Option 'd' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of hours of pop music = 3

Number of hours of classical music = 2

According to question, Every month onwards, the hours of pop music in her collection is 5% more than what she had the previous month. Her classical music does not change.

Rate of increment = 5% = 0.05

Let the number of months be 'x'.

So, our required function becomes,

f(x)=3(1+0.05)x+2\\\\f(x)=3(1.05)x+2

Hence, Option 'd' is correct.

In a gambling game, you roll 2 die and if you toss 2 sixes, you win $100, otherwise you lose $5.
Natalka [10]

Answer:

a. \frac{1}{36} chance you win.

b. The expected value of the game is -$2.08.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

You roll 2 die and if you toss 2 sixes

For each roll, 6 possible values, 1 of which is 6. So the probability of rolling two sixes is:

p = (\frac{1}{6})^2 = \frac{1}{36}

a. What is the chance you win?

\frac{1}{36} chance you win.

b. What is the expected value of the game?

1/36 probability of winning 100.

35/36 probability of losing 5. So

E = \frac{1}{36}*100 - \frac{35}{36}*5 = \frac{100 - 175}{36} = -\frac{75}{36} = -2.08

The expected value of the game is -$2.08.

Find An Bif A = {3, 6, 9, 12) and B = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10).​
viva [34]

Answer:

The set A ∩ B contain {6, 12}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : set A = {3, 6, 9, 12} and set B = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12}

We have to find A ∩ B  

Consider the given sets

Set A = {3, 6, 9, 12}  

and set B = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12}

Since, A ∩ B  includes those elements that are both in set A and set B.

Thus, the common elements of A and B are 6 and 12  

So , the set A ∩ B contain {6, 12}

Given that y varies directly to the square root of (x + 1), and that y = 1 when x = 8,
hram777 [196]

Answer:

a) y=1/3 sqrt(x+1)

b) 2/3

c) 224

Step-by-step explanation:

a) y varies directly to sqrt(x+1)

means there is some constant k such that y=ksqrt(x+1)

y=1 when x=8  (plug this in and find k)    1=ksqrt(8+1)

                                                                 1=ksqrt(9)

                                                                 1=k(3)

                                                                 1/3=k

So the equation is y=1/3 * sqrt(x+1)

a)  y=1/3 *sqrt(x+1)

b) what is y when x=3 if you have y=1/3 * sqrt(x+1)

Plug in 3 for x            

y=1/3 *sqrt(3+1)

y=1/3 *sqrt(4)

y=1/3 *2

y=2/3

b) 2/3

c) what is x when y=5

Plug in 5 for y

5=1/3 *sqrt(x+1)

multiply both sides by 3

15=sqrt(x+1)

square both sides

225=x+1

subtract 1 on both sides

224=x

c) 224
