Answer: $\dfrac2{201}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of persons said it is legal to text while driving = 8

Number of persons said it is illegal to text while driving = 804

Total persons sampled = 804+8 = 812

Since probability = $\dfrac{\text{favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

The probability of randomly selecting someone who believes it should be legal to text while driving = $\dfrac{8}{804}=\dfrac2{201}$

Required probability = $\dfrac2{201}$

G=x-c/x. for x<br><br>how do yoy make this an equation for x? help

zzz [600]

1.
$\displaystyle \text{if }\quad G=x- \frac{C}{x} \\\\$

$x \neq 0$

Multiply both sides by x:

$\displaystyle Gx=x\bigg(x- \frac{C}{x}\bigg )\\\\Gx=x^2-C$

Subtract from both sides Gx:
$Gx-Gx=x^2-C-Gx\\x^2-Gx-C=0$

Then solve this equation:

$\displaystyle x^2-Gx-C=0\\\\x_{1,2}= \frac{G\pm \sqrt{G^2+4C} }{2}$

2.
$\displaystyle\text{if}\quad G= \frac{x-C}{x}$

$x \neq 0$

Multiply both sides by x:

$Gx=x-C$

Subtract from both sides Gx:

$x-C-Gx=0$

Then solve this equation:

$\displaystyle x-Gx-C=0\\x(1-G)=C\\x= \frac{C}{1-G}$

Answer:

C. 2, -2, -6

Step-by-step explanation:

18, 14, 10, 6, ?

18 - 4 = 14

14 - 4 = 10

10 - 4 = 6

6 - 4 = 2

2 - 4 = -2

-2 - 4 = -6

They are subtracting each number by 4 to get the next one that continues.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Explicit formula of the sequence,

$A_n=59+11n$

$A_1=59+11(1)$

$A_1=70$

$A_2=59+11(2)$

$A_2=81$

$A_3=59+11(3)$

$A_3=92$

$A_4=59+11(4)$

$A_4=103$

$A_5=59+11(5)$

$A_5=114$
