Arthur has 6 more than 5 times the number of pencils as Jenny. If Arthur and Jenny combined have 30 pencils, how many pencils do

es Jenny have?

Answer:

Jenny has 4 pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Jenny has pencils = x

Arthur has pencils = 5x+6 (Arthur has 6 more than 5 times the number of pencils as Jenny. )

Total pencils = 30

We need to find how many pencils does Jenny have.

We basically can write the equation:

Total pencils = Jenny pencils + Arthur pencils

Putting values and solving to find value of x:

30=x+5x+6\\30=6x+6\\30-6=6x\\24=6x\\=> 6x=24\\x=\frac{24}{6}\\x=4

So, we have value of x = 4

Now, finding number of Jenny pencils:

Jenny has pencils = x = 4

Therefore, Jenny has 4 pencils.

The graph of a function f crosses the x-axis at -1 and 3 and touches the x-axis at 5. Which equations could define this function
sattari [20]

Given:

The points where the graph crosses the <em>x</em>-axis are -1 and 3.

The point where the graph touches the <em>x</em>-axis is at 5.

The objective is to find the correct equation of the function.

Explanation:

The equation representing the point <em>x</em> = -1, crossing the <em>x</em>-axis can be represented as,

\begin{gathered} x=-1 \\ (x+1)=0_{} \end{gathered}

Similarly, the equation representing the point <em>x</em> = 3, crossing the <em>x</em>-axis can be represented as,

\begin{gathered} x=3 \\ (x-3)=0 \end{gathered}

Similarly, the equation representing the point <em>x</em> = 5, touching the <em>x</em>-axis can be represented as,

\begin{gathered} x=5,x=5 \\ (x-5)(x-5)=0 \\ (x-5)^2=0 \end{gathered}

By combining all the equations of the graph, the function can be represented as,

f(x)=(x+1)(x-3)(x-5)^2

Hence, option (B) is the correct answer.

An urn contains 8 pink and 5 red balls. Six balls arerandomly drawn from the urn in succession, with replacement.That is, after
slega [8]

0.088

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of balls in the urn is;

8 +  5 = 12

Because the pink balls are 8, then the probability of picking a pink ball from the urn is;

8/12

To get the probability that all 6 balls drawn from the urn are pink, we will use the AND probability rule of the mutually exclusive events which means we’ll multiply the probabilities of each of the six pink balls;

8/12 * 8/12 * 8/12 * 8/12 * 8/12 * 8/12

= 0.088

How to find the maximum or minimum value of a quadratic function?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Vertex form

Step-by-step explanation:

You convert to  vertex form  a(x - b)^2 + c . The coordinates of the maxm/minm will be (b, c).

For example find minimum value of  x^2 + 5x - 6:-

x^2 + 5x - 6

=  (x + 2.5)^2 - 6.25 - 6

= (x + 2.5)^2 - 12.25

The coordinates of minimumm will be (-2.5, -12.25)  The values of the minimum of the function is -12.25
