Answer: 40% chance
Sample space: 3 white 2 red, 5 pairs
2/5 probability, as a percent would be 40% chance
Answer:
x = 81
Steps:
It says that y ~ √x
We have points (9, 18) as a guide.
We can write y = f(x) = a√x +b
Use points (9, 18) as a guide
18 = a√9 +b
18 = 3a + b
One solution might be a = 6, which means f(x) = 6√x
Thus when y = 54,
54 = 6√x
9 = √x
81 = x
First, we need to find 8% of 1,575. To do so we have to divide 8 by 100, then multiply the quotient by 1,575.
8% ⇒ 0.08
1,575 × 0.08 = 126
Now add the 8% increase to the original cost.
1,575 + 126 = 1,701

<h3>Answer:</h3>
±12 (two answers)
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Suppose one root is <em>a</em>. Then the other root will be -3<em>a</em>. The product of the two roots is the ratio of the constant coefficient to the leading coefficient:
(<em>a</em>)(-3<em>a</em>) = -27/4
<em>a</em>² = -27/(4·(-3)) = 9/4
<em>a</em> = ±√(9/4) = ±3/2
Then the other root is
-3<em>a</em> = -3(±3/2) = ±9/2 . . . . . . the roots will have opposite signs
We know the opposite of the sum of these roots will be the ratio of the linear term coefficient to the leading coefficient: b/4, so ...
-(a + (-3a)) = b/4
2a = b/4
b = 8a = 8·(±3/2)
b = ±12
_____
<em>Check</em>
For b = 12, the equation factors as ...
4x² +12x -27 = (2x -3)(2x +9) = 0
It has roots -9/2 and +3/2, the ratio of which is -3.
For b = -12, the equation factors as ...
4x² -12x -27 = (2x +3)(2x -9) = 0
It has roots 9/2 and -3/2, the ratio of which is -3.
