Answer:
-1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of 10 and a number is 3 less than the number.
Ok, lets call this number x.
10x = x-3 is how to algebraically write this out.
now, lets subtract x from both sides
9x = -3
Divide by 9
x = -1/3
Answer: ![\sqrt[3]{125x^3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B125x%5E3%7D)
.
Step-by-step explanation: Given radical expression
![\sqrt[3]{5x} \times \sqrt[3]{25x^2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B5x%7D%20%5Ctimes%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B25x%5E2%7D)
.
According to the product property of roots.
![\sqrt[n]{a} \times \sqrt[n]{b} = \sqrt[n]{a \times b}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Ba%7D%20%5Ctimes%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bb%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Ba%20%5Ctimes%20b%7D)
On applying above rule, we get
![\sqrt[3]{5x} \times \sqrt[3]{25x^2} = \sqrt[3]{5x \times 25x^2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B5x%7D%20%5Ctimes%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B25x%5E2%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B5x%20%5Ctimes%2025x%5E2%7D)
5 × 25 = 125 and
Therefore,
![\sqrt[3]{5x \times 25x^2}= \sqrt[3]{125x^3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B5x%20%5Ctimes%2025x%5E2%7D%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B125x%5E3%7D)
<h3>So, the correct option would be second option
.</h3>
Answer:
50 + 11.5x = 188
Step-by-step explanation:
A = event the person got the class they wanted
B = event the person is on the honor roll
P(A) = (number who got the class they wanted)/(number total)
P(A) = 379/500
P(A) = 0.758
There's a 75.8% chance someone will get the class they want
Let's see if being on the honor roll changes the probability we just found
So we want to compute P(A | B). If it is equal to P(A), then being on the honor roll does not change P(A).
---------------
A and B = someone got the class they want and they're on the honor roll
P(A and B) = 64/500
P(A and B) = 0.128
P(B) = 144/500
P(B) = 0.288
P(A | B) = P(A and B)/P(B)
P(A | B) = 0.128/0.288
P(A | B) = 0.44 approximately
This is what you have shown in your steps. This means if we know the person is on the honor roll, then they have a 44% chance of getting the class they want.
Those on the honor roll are at a disadvantage to getting their requested class. Perhaps the thinking is that the honor roll students can handle harder or less popular teachers.
Regardless of motivations, being on the honor roll changes the probability of getting the class you want. So Alex is correct in thinking the honor roll students have a disadvantage. Everything would be fair if P(A | B) = P(A) showing that events A and B are independent. That is not the case here so the events are linked somehow.
