Given:

Reese read twice as many pages Saturday than she read Sunday.

She read a total of 78 pages over the weekend.

To find:

The number of pages she read on Sunday.

Solution:

Let x be the number of pages she read on Sunday.

Reese read twice as many pages Saturday than she read Sunday. So, the number of pager she read on Saturday is 2x.

Total number of page she read over the weekend is:

$Total=x+2x$

$Total=3x$

She read a total of 78 pages over the weekend.

$3x=78$

$x=\dfrac{78}{3}$

$x=26$

Therefore, Reese read 26 pages on Sunday.

The promising alternative energy sources currently under development are fuel cell technology and large-scale solar energy power

Mumz [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Denote the event of commercially availability of f_uel cell technology as F_, commercial availability of solar power technology as S

Write the probability of energy supplied by these energy sources in the next 10 years

P(energy supplied) = P(S ∪ F) -----(1)

Rewrite eqn (1)

P(energy supplied) = P(S) + P(F) - P(F) P(S) ----(2)

substitute 0.85 for P(S) and 0,7 for P(F) in eqn (2) to find the probability of energy supplied by these energy sources

P(energy supplied) = 0.85 + 0.7 - (0.7 * 0.85)

= 0.85 + 0.7 - (0.595)

= 1.55 - 0.595

= 0.955

Therefore, the probability that there will be energy supplied by these two alternative sources in the next 10 years is 0.955

B) write the probability of only one source of energy available

P(only one source of energy available) = $P(\bar F S)$ ∪ $P( \bar S F)$ ---(3)

Rewrite the equation (3)

P(only one source of energy available) =

$=P(\bar F S)+P(\bar S F)\\\\=\{[1-P(F)]P(S)+[1-P(S)]P(F)\}---(4)$

$=\{[1-0.7]0.85+[1-0.85]0.7\}\\\\=0.255+0.105\\\\=0.36$

Therefore,The probability that only one of the two alternative energy sources will be commercially viable in the next 10 years is 0.36

What is the x-intercept of the graph?

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: (6,0)

Step-by-step explanation: To find the x-intercept, we plug a 0 in for y.

So we have 2x - 3(0) = 12.

Simplifying from here, we have 2x = 12.

Now divide both sides by 2 and we get <em>x = 6</em>.

So our x-intercept is 6.

This means that our line crosses the x-axis 6

units to the right of the origin or at the point (6,0).

If x+1/x = 5 find the value of x^3 +1/x^3. pls solve

Korolek [52]

Answer:

1) solve x+1/x = 5

$\frac{x + 1}{x} = 5$

$x + 1 = 5x$

$x - 5x = - 1$

$- 4x = - 1$

$x = \frac{ -1}{ - 4}$

$x = \frac{1}{4}$

2) solve x³+1/x³

$x {}^{3} + \frac{1}{x {}^{3} }$

substitute x = 1/4 into the expression

$( \frac{1}{4} ) {}^{3} + \frac{1}{( \frac{1}{4}) {}^{3} }$

$\frac{1}{64} + \frac{1}{ \frac{1}{64} }$

$\frac{1}{64} + \frac{64 \times 1}{1}$

$\frac{1}{64} + 64$

$\frac{4097}{64} \: or \: 64.02$
