Answer:
49 litres of petrol are needed to travel from town X to town Y and back.
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, first off, the variable X and Y, as well as the distance given (124 km) aren't important pieces of information in this equation. They're only there to throw you off and confuse you.
25L of <em>p</em> (petrol) to make the entire journey. After the engine has been tuned, it requires 2% less <em>p</em> than before it was tuned.
2%/100 = 0.02
0.02 * 25L = 0.5L
25L - 0.5L = 24.5L
Now, don't forget, at the end of the word problem we're asked how many litres of <em>p</em> would be required to travel from <em>x</em> to <em>y</em> <em><u>AND BACK</u></em>. So it's not only 24.5L, it's double that (24.5 * 2 = 49L)
Good luck!!

Answer: 1
Step-by-step explanation: the probability mass function that defines a possion probability distribution is given below as
P(x=r) = e^-u × u^x/x!
For this question, x = 0 and u = 9.5
Hence we have that
P(x=0) = e^-0 × 9.5^0 / 0!
P(x=0) = 1 × 1/ 1 = 1
Answer:
x ≈ - 5.83 , x ≈ - 0.17
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 6x + 1 = 0 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
x² + 6x = - 1
Using the method of completing the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to both sides
x² + 2(3)x + 9 = - 1 + 9
(x + 3)² = 8 ( take square root of both sides )
x + 3 = ± 
( subtract 3 from both sides )
x = - 3 ±
Then
x = - 3 - ≈ - 5.83 ( to 2 dec. places )
x = - 3 + ≈ - 0.17 ( to 2 dec. places )
