Answer:

Probability to pick yellow or orange sweet = 3 / 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of yellow sweet = 5

Number of red sweet = 4

Number of green sweet = 8

Number of orange sweet = 4

Number of white sweet = 3

Find:

Probability to pick yellow or orange sweet

Computation:

Total number of sweets = 24 sweets

Probability to pick yellow = 5 / 24

Probability to pick orange = 4 / 24

Probability to pick yellow or orange sweet = 5/24 + 4 / 24

Probability to pick yellow or orange sweet = 9 / 24

Probability to pick yellow or orange sweet = 3 / 8

The blank of a number says how many times to use that number ia a multiplication
Evgesh-ka [11]
I'm pretty sure the answer is exponent since it tells you how many times to multiply the number beside it by itself.

Example:

{3}^{4}
It is NOT 3 × 4 = 12

It is 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 9 × 3 × 3 = 9 × 9 = 81

I hope that helps you out!!

a) 10000(1+1.85/100)^3=10565.33 (2d.p.)

b) let x be the no. of years

15000 = 10000(1+1.85/100)^x

1.5 = 1.0185^x

ln both sides

ln 1.5 = x ln 1.0185

x = ln 1.5/ln 1.0185

kozerog [31]

No it isn't.

Explanation:

x/y * y = (y-6) * y

x = y^2 - 6y

A function gives just one y for every x

In this case there will always be 2 y's for every x

Example:

y can be

y = 6

or

y =−6

(0,-6) & (0,6)
