Answer:

(1,\, 10).

Step-by-step explanation:

Differentiate each function to find an expression for its gradient (slope of the tangent line) with respect to x. Make use of the power rule to find the following:

g^\prime(x) = 3\, x^2 - 2\, a\, x.

h^\prime(x) = 2\, (2\, x) + b = 4\, x  + b.

The question states that the graphs of g(x) and h(x) touch at x = 1, such that g^\prime(1) = h^\prime(1). Therefore:

3 - 2\, a = 4 + b.

On the other hand, since the graph of g(x) and h(x) coincide at x = 1, g(1) = h(1) (otherwise, the two graphs would not even touch at that point.) Therefore:

1 - a + 6 = 2 + b + 3.

Solve this system of two equations for a and b:

\begin{aligned}& a + b = 2 \\ & 2\, a + b = -1\end{aligned}.

Therefore, a = -3 whereas b = 5.

Substitute these two values back into the expression for g(x) and h(x):

g(x) = x^3 + 3\, x^2 + 6.

h(x) = 2\, x^2 + 5\, x + 3.

Evaluate either expression at x = 1 to find the y-coordinate of the intersection. For example, g(1) = 1 + 3 + 6 = 10. Similarly, h(1) = 2 + 5 + 3 = 10.

Therefore, the intersection of these two graphs would be at (1,\, 10).

You pick a card at random, put it back, and then pick another card at random. 2 3 4 5 What is the probability of picking a numbe
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

3/4 or a 75% chance

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of 4 cards ( 2 3 4 5), here are the cards greater than 3: 4, and 5. That leaves you with a 2/4 chance of drawing one of them. (2 cards, 4 in total).

Then, picking a 4 out of 4 cards is a 1/4 chance; since that is one card out of 4 total possibilities.

1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4. Or, a 75% chance.

In the New York State daily lottery game, a sequence of 4 (not necessarily different) digits in the range of 0-9 is selected at
devlian [24]

Answer:

50.40% probability that all 4 are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Desired outcomes:

4 digits, all different

For the first digit, it can be any of them, so there are 10 possible

For the second digit, it can be any of them other than the first digit. So there are 9 possible.

For the third digit, it can be any of them, other than the first and the second. So there are 8 possible.

By the same logic, 7 possible digits for the fourth. So

D = 10*9*8*7 = 5040

Total outcomes:

4 digits, each can be any of them(10 from 0 - 9).

So

T = 10*10*10*10 = 10000

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{5040}{10000} = 0.5040

50.40% probability that all 4 are different.
