13. Imagine that you are taking a class and your chances of being asked a question in class are 1% during the first week of clas

s and double each week thereafter (i.e., you would have a 2% chance in Week 2, a 4% chance in Week 3, an 8% chance in Week 4). What is the probability that you will be asked a question in class during Week 7?

Answer:  There is probability that he will be asked a question in class during Week 7 is 64%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that  

Probability that question in class being asked during Week 1 = 1%  

Probability that question in class being asked during Week 2 = 2%  

Probability that question in class being asked during Week 3 = 4%

and so on.

So, we need to find the probability that question being asked in class during week 7.

Since it forms geometric series:

1%, 2%, 4%, ........

So, we need to find the 7 th term:  

a_n=ar^{n-1}\\\\a_7=ar^{7-1}\\\\a_7=1(2)^6\\\\a_7=64\%

Hence, there is probability that he will be asked a question in class during Week 7 is 64%.

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, what is the positive solution to the quadratic equation 0 = 2x2 + 3x – 8? Quadratic formula: x
Lynna [10]

ANSWER

1.39

EXPLANATION

The given quadratic equation is

0 = 2 {x}^{2}  + 3x - 8

This is the same as,

2 {x}^{2}  + 3x - 8 = 0

Comparing to

a {x}^{2}  + bx  + c = 0

We have

a=2, b=3,c=-8

Using the quadratic formula, the solution is given by:

x =  \frac{ - b \pm \:  \sqrt{ {b}^{2}  - 4ac} }{2a}

We substitute the values to get,

x =  \frac{ - 3\pm \:  \sqrt{ {3}^{2}  - 4(2)( - 8)} }{2(2)}

x =  \frac{ - 3\pm \:  \sqrt{ 73} }{4}

The positive root is

x =  \frac{ - 3 + \:  \sqrt{ 73} }{4} = 1.39

to the nearest hundredth.

You need gas for your car, and just as you are approaching where you normally get gas, the radio station announces that the Chea
schepotkina [342]

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance from present location to CheapGas = 4 miles

Price of gas at CheapGas is $0.37 cheaper

Hence, the decision to make a U-turn back to CheapGas or continue on intended destination will rely on two factors ;

1) The number of gallons of gas to purchase

2) The cost of gas required to return to cheap gas.

If a substantial amount of gas is to be purchased, may be 50, 100 or more gallons, the amount saved by making a turn back to cheapGas and purchase gas at $0.37 cheaper per gallon.
