2/3x − 1/5x = x −1 equals what? I'm confused on this

Suppose you and a friend each choose at random an integer between 1 and 8, inclusive. For example, some possibilities are (3,7),

Bezzdna [24]

Answer and explanation:

Given : Suppose you and a friend each choose at random an integer between 1 and 8, inclusive.

The sample space is

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6) (1,7) (1,8)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6) (2,7) (2,8)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6) (3,7) (3,8)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6) (4,7) (4,8)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6) (5,7) (5,8)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6) (6,7) (6,8)

(7,1) (7,2) (7,3) (7,4) (7,5) (7,6) (7,7) (7,8)

(8,1) (8,2) (8,3) (8,4) (8,5) (8,6) (8,7) (8,8)

Total number of outcome = 64

To find : The following probabilities ?

Solution :

The probability is given by,

$\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favorable outcome }}{\text{Total outcome}}$

a) p(you pick 5 and your friend picks 8)

The favorable outcome is (5,8)= 1

$\text{Probability}=\frac{1}{64}$

b) p(sum of the two numbers picked is < 4)

The favorable outcome is (1,1), (1,2), (2,1)= 3

$\text{Probability}=\frac{3}{64}$

c) p(both numbers match)

The favorable outcome is (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6), (7,7), (8,8) = 8

$\text{Probability}=\frac{8}{64}$

$\text{Probability}=\frac{1}{8}$

4. Gloria the grasshopper is working on her hops.

aivan3 [116]

The path that Gloria follows when she jumped is a path of parabola.

The equation of the parabola that describes the path of her jump is $\mathbf{y = -\frac{5}{49}(x - 14)^2 + 20}$

The given parameters are:

$\mathbf{Height = 20}$

$\mathbf{Length = 28}$

Assume she starts from the origin (0,0)

The midpoint would be:

$\mathbf{Mid = \frac 12 \times Length}$

$\mathbf{Mid = \frac 12 \times 28}$

$\mathbf{Mid = 14}$

So, the vertex of the parabola is:

$\mathbf{Vertex = (Mid,Height)}$

Express properly as:

$\mathbf{(h,k) = (14,20)}$

A point on the graph would be:

$\mathbf{(x,y) = (28,0)}$

The equation of a parabola is calculated using:

$\mathbf{y = a(x - h)^2 + k}$

Substitute $\mathbf{(h,k) = (14,20)}$ in $\mathbf{y = a(x - h)^2 + k}$

$\mathbf{y = a(x - 14)^2 + 20}$

Substitute $\mathbf{(x,y) = (28,0)}$ in $\mathbf{y = a(x - 14)^2 + 20}$

$\mathbf{0 = a(28 - 14)^2 + 20}$

$\mathbf{0 = a(14)^2 + 20}$

Collect like terms

$\mathbf{a(14)^2 =- 20}$

Solve for a

$\mathbf{a =- \frac{20}{14^2}}$

$\mathbf{a =- \frac{20}{196}}$

Simplify

$\mathbf{a =- \frac{5}{49}}$

Substitute $\mathbf{a =- \frac{5}{49}}$ in $\mathbf{y = a(x - 14)^2 + 20}$

$\mathbf{y = -\frac{5}{49}(x - 14)^2 + 20}$

Hence, the equation of the parabola that describes the path of her jump is $\mathbf{y = -\frac{5}{49}(x - 14)^2 + 20}$

Solve each equation. 7) 18 =-2+a 8) -7= m - 12 9) -8(7 + 7n)=-336 10) -140=-7(-4+36)

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

7) a= 20

8) m= 5

9)n = 5

10) b = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

7) 18+2=-2+2+a

>> 20 = a >> a = 20

18 + 2 = 20 so that isolates the variable leaving a = 20

8) -7+12 = m -12+12

>>> 5 = m >> m = 5

-7 + 12 = 5 so that again isolates the variable leaving m = 5

9) -8(7 + 7n) = -336

>> -56+56 + -56n = -336+56

>>> -56n/-56 = -280/-56

>>>> n = 5

use distributive property, cancel out necessary numbers, isolate the variable. leaving n = 5.

10) -140 = -7(-4 + 3b)

>> -140 = 28 - 21b >> -140-28 = -21b +28-28 ( flipped the numbers)

>>> -168/-21 = -21b /-21

>>>> 8 = b >> b =8

Hope it helps!
