Okay so first you want to convert your percentage to a decimal:

8%/100= 0.08
then you want to multiply it by 260:
260*0.08=20.8
then subtract that from 260 to get your answer:
260-20.8=239.2
his approx. cholesterol level is 239 :)

(1) -3x-4y+11z from-9y+6z-3x <br>(2) 3x⁴-4x³+7x-2 from 9-7x⁴+6x³-2x²-11x​
romanna [79]

Answer:

1) 5y + 5z

2) 10x⁴ - 10x³ + 2x² + 18x - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the subtraction of the following polynomial expressions:

<h2>(1) -3x - 4y + 11z from -9y + 6z - 3x</h2>

In order to make it easier for us to perform the required mathematical operations, we must first rearrange the terms in the <em>subtrahend</em> by alphabetical order.

-3x - 4y + 11z  

-3x - 9y + 6z  ⇒ This is the <u><em>subtrahend</em></u>.

Now, we can finally perform the subtraction on both trinomials:

\displaystyle\mathsf{\left \ \quad\:\:\:\:{-3x - 4y + 11z} \atop -\quad{\underline{-3x - 9y + 6z\:\:\underline}} \right.}

In the <em>subtrahend</em>, the coefficients of x and y are both negative. Thus, performing the subtraction operations on these coefficients transforms their sign into positive.  

\displaystyle\mathsf{\left \ \quad\:\:\:\:{-3x - 4y + 11z} \atop -\quad{\underline{-3x - 9y + 6z\:\:\underline}}\right.} \\\qquad\sf {\qquad\:\:\:0x\:+\:5y\:+5z

The difference is: 5y + 5z.

<h2>(2) 3x⁴- 4x³ + 7x - 2 from 9 - 7x⁴ + 6x³- 2x² - 11x​</h2>

Similar to the how we arranged the given trinomials in Question 1, we must rearrange the given polynomials in descending degree of terms before subtracting like terms.

3x⁴- 4x³ + 7x - 2           ⇒  Already in descending order (degree).

9 - 7x⁴ + 6x³- 2x² - 11x​   ⇒  -7x⁴ + 6x³- 2x² - 11x​ + 9

In subtracting polynomials, we can only subtract <u>like terms</u>, which are terms that have the same variables and exponents.  

\displaystyle\mathsf{\left \ \quad\:\:{3x^4\:-4x^3\:+\:0x^2\:+\:7x\:-\:2} \atop -\quad{\underline{-7x^4\:+6x^3\:-2x^2\:-11x\:+\:9 \:\:\underline}}\right.}  

In the <u><em>minuend</em></u><em>, </em>I added the "0x²" to make it less-confusing for us to perform the subtraction operations.  

The same rules apply in terms of coefficients with negative signs in the subtrahend, such as: -7x⁴, - 2x², and - 11x​ ⇒  their coefficients turn into positive when performing subtraction.  

\displaystyle\mathsf{\left \ \quad\:\:{3x^4\:-4x^3\:+\:0x^2\:+\:7x\:-\:2} \atop -\quad{\underline{-7x^4\:+6x^3\:-2x^2\:-11x\:+\:9 \:\:\underline}}\right.} \\\qquad\sf {\qquad\:\:10x^4-10x^3+2x^2+18x\:-11  

Therefore, the difference is: 10x⁴ - 10x³ + 2x² + 18x - 11.

the participants in a television quiz show are picked from a large pool of applicants with approximately equal numbers of men an
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The probability of getting 2 or fewer women when 10 people are picked

P(x≤ 2) = \frac{56}{1024} = 0.0546

Step-by-step explanation:

The participants in a television quiz show are picked from a large pool of applicants with approximately equal numbers of men and women

That is probability of participants of television quiz of equal numbers of men and women that is 50 %of men and 50% of women.

p = 50/100 = 1/2

q = 1-p = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2

n =10

we will use binomial distribution p(x =r) = n_{cr} p^{r} q^{n-r}

The probability of getting 2 or fewer women when 10 people are picked

P(x≤ 2) = P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)

          = 10_{c0} \frac{1}{2} ^{0} (\frac{1}{2}) ^{10-0}+ 10_{c1} \frac{1}{2} ^{1} (\frac{1}{2}) ^{10-1   \\   + 10_{c2} \frac{1}{2} ^{2} (\frac{1}{2}) ^{10-2

          by using formula n_{cr} =\frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}

on simplification we get

     = 10_{c0}  (\frac{1}{2}) ^{10}+ 10_{c1} (\frac{1}{2}) ^{10) + 10_{c2} (\frac{1}{2}) ^{10)

    = 1  (\frac{1}{2}) ^{10}+ 10(\frac{1}{2}) ^{10)+45  (\frac{1}{2}) ^{10}

  = \frac{56}{1024} = 0.0546

<u>Conclusion</u>:-

The probability of getting 2 or fewer women when 10 people are picked

P(x≤ 2) = \frac{56}{1024} = 0.0546

Two number that have a sum of 45 twice the greater number is six more than 5 times the lesser number
qaws [65]
The numbers will be X and Y with X being the lesser
x+y=45
2y=5x+6
now use a subtraction method to solve
x+y=45
y=45-x

2 (45-x)=5x+6
90-2x=5x+6
-7×=-84
x=12

y=45-12
y=33
so, x=12 and y=33
