P(E)= 29/100 * 49/100 = 0.1421= 14.21%

Answer:

Option A. 14.21%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that Chloe is awarded the employee of the month in January

= 29% P (J) = 0.29

The probability that Chloe is awarded the employee of the month in February = 49% P (F) = 0.49

As we know that both events are independent so

P ( J & F ) = P (J) × P (F)

P = 0.29 × 0.49 = 0.1421 or 14.21%

Therefore the probability that she is awarded a blue ribbon in both January and February 14.21%

Explain the error Tina says that 6:8 is equivalent to 36:64 what did tina do wrong

brilliants [131]

Tina said that 6:8 is equal to 36:64.
It's wrong. It should be 48:64. Because just like a fraction, whatever you multiply in the bottom, you do to the top.

Mexico City, Mexico, is the world's second largest metropolis and is also one of its fastest-growing cities with a projected gro

Cloud [144]

Answer:

Predicted population of Mexico City in year 2010 = 38386000

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to be used for the population of Mexico,

P = 20.899 $e^{0.032t}$

Where t = Duration after year 1991

P = Final population

Number of years between 2010 and 1991 = 19 years

Predicted population of Mexico city after 2010 = 20.899 $e^{0.032\times 19}$

= 20.899 × (1.8368)

= 38.38633 million

= 38.386 million

Therefore, predicted population of Mexico City in year 2010 = 38386000

Ben and Josh went to the roof of their 40-foot tall high school to throw their math books offthe edge.The initial velocity of Be

Taya2010 [7]

Answer

Josh's textbook reached the ground first

Josh's textbook reached the ground first by a difference of $t=0.6482$

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we proceed let us re write correctly the height equation which in correct form reads:

$h(t)=-16t^2 +v_{o}t+s$ Eqn(1).

Where:

$h(t)$ : is the height range as a function of time

$v_{o}$ : is the initial velocity

$s$ : is the initial heightin feet and is given as 40 feet, thus Eqn(1). becomes:

$h(t)=-16t^2 + v_{o}t + 40$ Eqn(2).

Now let us use the given information and set up our equations for Ben and Josh.

<u>Ben:</u>

We know that $v_{o}=60ft/s$

Thus Eqn. (2) becomes:

$h(t)=-16t^2+60t+40$ Eqn.(3)

<u>Josh:</u>

We know that $v_{o}=48ft/s$

Thus Eqn. (2) becomes:

$h(t)=-16t^2+48t+40$ Eqn. (4).

<em><u>Now since we want to find whose textbook reaches the ground first and by how many seconds we need to solve each equation (i.e. Eqns. (3) and (4)) at </u></em> $h(t)=0$ <em><u>. Now since both are quadratic equations we will solve one showing the full method which can be repeated for the other one. </u></em>

Thus we have for Ben, Eqn. (3) gives:

$h(t)=0-16t^2+60t+40=0$

Using the quadratic expression to find the roots of the quadratic we have:

$t_{1,2}=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} \\t_{1,2}=\frac{-60+/-\sqrt{60^2-4(-16)(40)} }{2(-16)} \\t_{1,2}=\frac{-60+/-\sqrt{6160} }{-32} \\t_{1,2}=\frac{15+/-\sqrt{385} }{8}\\\\t_{1}=4.3276 sec\\t_{2}=-0.5776 sec$

Since time can only be positive we reject the $t_{2}$ solution and we keep that Ben's book took $t=4.3276$ seconds to reach the ground.

Similarly solving for Josh we obtain

$t_{1}=3.6794sec\\t_{2}=-0.6794sec$

Thus again we reject the negative and keep the positive solution, so Josh's book took $t=3.6794$ seconds to reach the ground.

Then we can find the difference between Ben and Josh times as

$t_{Ben}-t_{Josh}= 4.3276 - 3.6794 = 0.6482$

So to answer the original question:

<em>Whose textbook reaches the ground first and by how many seconds?</em>

Josh's textbook reached the ground first
Josh's textbook reached the ground first by a difference of $t=0.6482$

Express as a trinomial (2x+8)(x-3)

Luden [163]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{(2x+8)(x-3)=2x^2+2x-24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Use FOIL:}\ (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\\\\(2x+8)(x-3)=(2x)(x)+(2x)(-3)+(8)(x)+(8)(-3)\\\\=2x^2-6x+8x-24\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\=2x^2+(-6x+8x)-24\\\\=2x^2+2x-24$
