Answer: 259/260 or 0.99615 (depending on which answer format your teacher wants)
There are 10 numbers in the set {0, 1, 2, ..., 9}. There are 26 letters in the set {A, B, C, ..., Z}. Multiply those values: 10*26 = 260. So there are 260 ways to pick a number followed by a letter. One example is 7P.
There is only one way Matthew can get the correct answer, and there are 260 - 1 = 259 ways to get the wrong answer. We divide 259 over 260 to get the probability of getting the incorrect answer, which is 259/260.
If you need this fraction in decimal form, then use a calculator to find that 259/260 = 0.99615 approximately
Answer:
x=-3/11
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+3)/5 +2x=0
Multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of the fraction
5*( x+3)/5 +5*2x=0*5
x+3 + 10x =0
Combine like terms
11x +3 = 0
Subtract 3 from both sides
11x+3-3 =0-3
11x = -3
Divide by 11
11x/11 = -3/11
x = -3/11
Answer:
<em>Height of tomato plant is the </em><u><em>dependent variable</em></u>
<em>Presence of walnut leaves in the soil is the </em><u><em>independent variable</em></u>
<em>Tomato plants grown without walnut leaves is the </em><u><em>control</em></u>
<u><em></em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>An independent variable is the variable in an experiment that can be altered to test for a certain result. It is independent, or does not change with change in other factors in the experiment.</em> In this case, the presence or absence, or quantity of walnut available in the soil is the independent variable in the experiment.
<em>A dependent variable varies, and depends on the independent variable. It is what is measured in the experiment.</em> In this case, the height of the tomato plants is the dependent variable that depends on the presence, absence or quantity of walnut in the soil.
<em>A control in an experiment, is a replicate experiment, that is manipulated in order to be able to test a single variable at a time.</em> Controls are variables are held constant so as to minimize their effect on the system under study. In this case, some of the tomato plants are planted without walnut in the soil, to test the effect of the absence of the walnut in the soil.
Rational numbers can be written as a fraction
Answer: c) 286.5 in²
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
S.A.= 2π r · h
= 2π (7.3/2) · 12.5
= 2π (3.65) (12.5)
= 286.5
