Answer:

b. mutually exclusive.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given description is an illustration of mutually exclusive events.

Take for instance, when you roll a die;

It is impossible to have an outcome of 2 and 6 at the same time; these means that 2 and 6 are mutually exclusive.

In a nutshell, when two or more sates of events/states of nature can not happen at the same time; such events/states of nature are mutually exclusive.

What is the value of K?
Ksju [112]
Answer: The value of k for which one root of the quadratic equation kx2 - 14x + 8 = 0 is six times the other is k = 3.
Let's look into the solution step by step.

Explanation:

Given: A quadratic equation, kx2 - 14x + 8 = 0

Let the two zeros of the equation be α and β.

According to the given question, if one of the roots is α the other root will be 6α.

Thus, β = 6α

Hence, the two zeros are α and 6α.

We know that for a given quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0

The sum of the zeros is expressed as,

α + β = - b / a

The product of the zeros is expressed as,

αβ = c / a

For the given quadratic equation kx2 - 14x + 8 = 0,

a = k, b = -14, c = 8

The sum of the zeros is:

α + 6α = 14 / k [Since the two zeros are α and 6α]

⇒ 7α = 14 / k

⇒ α = 2 / k --------------- (1)

The product of the zeros is:

⇒ α × 6α = 8 / k [Since the two zeros are α and 6α]

⇒ 6α 2 = 8 / k

⇒ 6 (2 / k)2 = 8 / k [From (1)]

⇒ 6 × (4 / k) = 8

⇒ k = 24 / 8

⇒ k = 3

Sophia uses 18 beads to make a necklace. Three sixths of the beads are purple. How many beads are purple?
joja [24]

Answer:

9 beads are purple

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out how many  beads are purple, multiply the total beads by the fraction of the beads that are purple

so

18(\frac{3}{6})=9\ beads

therefore

9 beads are purple

Another way to solve the problem is convert the fraction in percentage

we have

\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}=0.50*100=50\%

so

If the total are 18 beads

50% is 9 beads

therefore

9 beads are purple

Find the missing side lengths. Leave your answers in simplest radical form.
saveliy_v [14]
ANSWER:
d. x = 15, y= 15√3

EXPLANATION:
This is a special triangle, more specifically a 30-60-90 degree triangle. For sake of not confusing x and y, we will use z to use as our reference for solving this triangle. The side lengths for each angle are as follows:
• 60 degrees = z√3
- this is the value for your y answer
• 30 degrees = z
- this is the value for your x answer
• Hypotenuse = 2z
- this is what we already have

We solve for what we already have which is the Hypotenuse = 30:
2x = 30
x = 15

We now have our x value which is 15.
Now we just plug in that x value for every expression for every angle.

x = 15
y = 15√3

Sorry if I explained it too thoroughly but I’ll be glad to answer any questions or clarifications

Subtract the following polynomials. Write answer in a-b-c-d order. From 4a+7b-12c subtract 8a-9b+12d
ozzi

(4a+7b-12c)-(8a-9b+12d)\\4a+7b-12c-8a+9b-12d

Negative multiply negative = Positive

Negative multiply positive = negative

-8a+4a+9b+7b-12c-12d\\-4a+16b-12c-12d

Thus the answer is -4a + 16b - 12c - 12d.
