Answer:
x^2+5x-6
a = 1 b = 5 and c = -6
Using the quadratic formula:
x = [-5 +- sq root (25 -4 * 1 *-6) ] / 2 * 1
x = [-5 +- sq root (49)] / 2
x = [-5 +- 7] / 2
x1 = 1
x2 = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that you only include whole numbers (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) and not 3.5 and such
so if 1 is odd and less than 5 then it is
1 or 3, since 5 isn't included
then the other number, to be less than 5 when added,
must be
1+x<5
3+x<5
solve each
1+x<5
subtract 1
x<4
set of answers are 1,2,3
3+x<5
subtract 3
x<2
set of answer is 1
so the possible numbers are
1,2,3
that is 3 numbesr out of 9 so
probability=(total desired outcomes)/(total possible outcomes) so
disred outcomes=3
total possible=9
3/9=1/3
the probabiltiy is 1/3
Answer:
0.4 , 0.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let number of boys be = b , number of girls = b + 4 . As total students = 20 b + b + 4 = 20 → 2b + 4 = 20 → 2b = 20 - 4 = 16 → b = 16 / 2 = 8 (boys) , so girls = 12
Prob (a random first child is a boy) = boys / total students = 8 c 1 / 20 c1, or = 8 / 20 = 0.4
Prob ( a 'Tina' out of two Tina is the last) = 2 c 1 / 20 c 1 , or = 2 / 20 = 0.1
Find the volume of each size stack by multiplying Length x width x height.
Once you have the volume for the 3 different stacks of books, add the together.
Bottom: 12 x 1 x 6 = 72 cubic inches per book x 2 = 144 cubic inches total.
Middle: 10 x 1 x 5 = 50 cubic inches per book x 2 = 100 cubic inches total.
Top: 7 x 0.5 x 4 = 14 cubic inches per book x 2 = 28 cubic inches total.
Total volume = 144 + 100 + 28 = 272 cubic inches.
