Answer:
The probability is 0.8
Step-by-step explanation:
The key to answering this question is considering the fact that the two married employees be treated as a single unit.
Now what this means is that we would be having 8 desks to assign.
Mathematically, the number of ways to assign 8 desks to 8 employees is equal to 8!
Now, the number of ways the couple can interchange their desks is just 2 ways
Thus, the number of ways to assign desks such that the couple has adjacent desks is 2(8!)
The number of ways to assign desks among all six employees randomly is 9!
Thus, the probability that the couple will have adjacent desks would be ;
2(8!)/9! = 2/9
This means that the probability that the couple have non adjacent desks is 1-2/9 = 7/9 = 0.77778
Which is 0.8 to the nearest tenth of a percent
2(x-5)=20
Divide both sides by 2 (division of property equality)
x - 5 = 10
Add 5 to both sides (addition of property equality)
x = 15
Answer
x = 15 is the solution
Answer
y = 1(x +1) - 3
Explanation
A quadratic equation of the form y = ax^2 + bx + c
This written in complete the square form provides you with the vertex (either a maximum or minimum point depending on the equation).
This results in y = a(x + p) + q
Where - p is the x value and q is the y value of turning point.
For graph 22, x = -1 and y = -3
Therefore, the equation is of the form
y = a(x + 1) - 3 (*)
We still need the value a, this can be obtained by using the y-intercept we are given.
We are told x = 0 when y = -2
Substitute this in (*) equation:
-2 = a(0+1) - 3
-2 = a - 3
a = 1
Therefore final equation is
y = 1(x +1) - 3
This should provide you with the train of thought of how the second question should also be tackled.
If unsure about why the equation
y = a(x + p) + q gives the vertex ask in comments I will respond
