Complete question is;

A family of 6 is visiting a mall. The mall has 10 exit doors. Assume random selection. Find the probability that

a. No family member chooses the same exit door.

b. Every family member chooses the same exit door.

Answer:

A) 0.6

B) 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We are told there are 10 exit doors and the family consists of 6 people.

This implies that for them not to choose the same exit door there will be 6 different doors they will pass.

Thus;

Probability that the no family member chooses the same exit door = 6/10 = 0.6

B) If they all choose the same exit door, it means only 1 out of the 10 exit doors will be used by them.

Thus;

Probability that every family member chooses the same exit door = 1/10 = 0.1

Coefficient of x^2 in expansion of the binomial theorem (2x-1)^4 show your work

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use Pascal's triangle, which I did, you will look at the 5th row of the triangle which contains the numbers 1, 4, 6, 4, 1

If we expand using a = 2x and b = -1, then the expansion looks like this:

$1(2x)^4(-1)^0+4(2x)^3(-1)^1+6(2x)^2(-1)^2+4(2x)^1(-1)^3+1(2x)^0(-1)^4$

If you simplify all that down by multiplying, you'll get

$16x^4-32x^3+24x^2-8x+1$

If you don't know how to use Pascal's triangle, you need to learn. It's so very cool!

9=ln(x+7) | Solve for x

frez [133]

Remember that ln= $log_{e}$
and

$log_{a}x=y$ means $a^y=x$
convert
ln(x+7)=9 means
e^(9)=x+7
minus 7 from both sides
e^9-7=x
use calculator to evaluate
8096.08=x aprox

Number 13 and 14 don’t matter but help ‼️

DIA [1.3K]

Find a common denominator for every single pair of fractions
that will help you find the answer
i can do a couple but not all, hopefully my explanation will help you do the rest

3/5 and 3/3
3/15 and 3/15
9/15 and 15/15
15/15 is greater than 9/15

. How are the formulas for the circumference of a circle and area of a circle derived?

kakasveta [241]

They can be derived by using calculus(integration to be precise)

$\pi$ $= \frac{circumference }{diameter}$ (its how pi is defined)
so that gives circumference

to get area , you use integration $of an elemental ring of radius r and thickness dr and integrate it$ $A= \int\limits^0_r {2 \pi r} \, dr$

that gives the area.

if you don't know calculus yet ,dont worry, just remember the formulae.
