Answer: 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of 2 point baskets made and y be the number of 3 point baskets made

:

1) x + y = 26

:

2) 2x + 3y = 60

:

solve equation 1 for x and substitute in equation 2

:

x = 26 - y

:

2(26 - y) +3y = 60

:

52 -2y +3y = 60

:

y = 8

:

x = 26 - 8 = 18

:

Solve the equation of exponential decay.
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

$9,220,000(0.888)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Model this using the following formula:

Value = (Present Value)*(1 - rate of decay)^(number of years)

Here, Value after t years = $9,220,000(1 -0.112)^t

          Value after t years =  $9,220,000(0.888)^t

Is rolling a 3 standard doe and then rolling a sum greater than 4 when counting the next roll an independent event?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, you roll 3 from the standard die and then add it with the next roll to see if the sums are greater than 4.

From this explanation you can see that you use the result from your first roll for the second event, so we can conclude that the event is dependent.  

Imagine if we change the result of the first roll into 5, without adding the second roll we can know that the sum will be greater than 4. The first event result will influence the second event, so it is a dependent event.

Divide the number 20 into two parts (not necessarily integers) in a way that makes the product of one part with the square of th
Ilya [14]

Answer:

13 1/3 and  6 2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 parts be x and (20 - x).

So x^2(20 - x) must be a maximum.

y = x^2(20 - x)

y = 20x^2 - x^3

Finding the derivative):

y' =  40x - 3x^2 = 0   for  maxm/minm value.

x( 40 - 3x) = 0

40 - 3x = 0

3x = 40

x = 40/3.

This is a maximum because the second derivative y" =  40 - 6x = 40 - 6(40/3)) is negative.

So the 2 numbers are 13 1/3 and  6 2/3.
