In a set of 3 numbers the first is a positive integer, the second is 3 more than the first and the 3rd is a square of the second

Molodets [167]

Given:

In a set of 3 numbers the first is a positive integer, the second is 3 more than the first and the 3rd is a square of the second.

To find:

The equation for the given situation if the sum of the numbers is 77.

Solution:

a. Let the first number in the set is x.

The second is 3 more than the first. So, the second number is $(x+3)$ .

The 3rd number is a square of the second. So, the third number is $(x+3)^2$ .

Therefore, the first, second and third numbers are $x,(x+3),(x+3)^2$ respectively.

b. The sum of the numbers is 77.

First number + Second number + Third number = 77

c. So, the equation in terms of x is:

$x+(x+3)+(x+3)^2=77$

Therefore, the required equation is $x+(x+3)+(x+3)^2=77$ .

d. On simplification, we get

$x+x+3+x^2+6x+9=77$ $[\because (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2]$

$x^2+(6x+x+x)+(3+9)=77$

$x^2+8x+12=77$

Subtract 77 from both sides.

$x^2+8x+12-77=77-77$

$x^2+8x-65=0$

Therefore, the simplified form of the required equation is $x^2+8x-65=0$ .

For consumers making purchases online, 60% have devices made by Apple, 85% own a smartphone, and 75% use Venmo. Also, out of the

kompoz [17]

Answer:

The probability that a customer selected at random has an Apple device or own a smartphone or both is 0.94

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of costumers that have a device made by Apple = 60%

The percentage of customers that own a smartphone = 85%

The percentage of customers that use Venmo = 80%

The percentage out of the smartphone users that use Venmo = 80%

The probability both independent events A and B occurring = P(A) × P(B)

The exclusive probability of A or B occurring P(A XOR B) = P(A) + P(B) - 2 × P(A ∩ B)

Therefore, the probability of A or B or both occurring is given as follows;

P(A or B or Both) = P(A) + P(B) - 2 × P(A ∩ B) + P(A) × P(B)

Where A represent the percentage of costumers that have a device made by Apple and let B represent the percentage of users that have a smartphone, we have;

P(A or B or Both) = 0.6 + 0.85 - 2×0.6×0.85 + 0.6 × 0.85 = 0.94

Therefore, the probability that a customer selected at random has an Apple device or own a smartphone (or both), P(A or B or Both) = 0.94
