Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute value symbols are only needed in certain cases when finding the nth root of a number when n is even. For example, the 4th root of (-2) ^ 20 is |(-2) ^ 5| or 32. To find a cube root, work backwards. Find a number whose cube is the radicand.

Notice that the radical expression is of the form n√b, where b is a real number and n is a positive integer. This expression can be written as an exponential equation of the form a^n = b, where a is also a real number.

Write 3 √216/1728 as an exponential equation of the form a^n = b

a^3 = 216/1728

Because n is odd, there is only one value of a that makes the equation true. In this case, a will be a fraction. Determine the numerator of a. Find the number that, when cubed, is 216.

(6)^3 = 216

Now determine the denominator of a. Find the number that, when cubed, is 1728.

(12)^3 = 1728

Use the numerator and denominator found above to complete the equation a^3 = 216/1728. . Since n is odd, absolute value symbols are not necessary.

(6/12)^3 = 216/1728

Finally, simplify this value of a.

6/12 = 1/2

Therefore, 3 √216/1728 = 1/2

Answer:

The equation is y=2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+2y=7

2y=-4x+7

y=-2x+7/2

Hence, the gradient =-2

Note that: parallel lines share the same gradient

sub m(gradient)=-2 and the point (1,0) into y=mx+c

0=-2(1)+c

c=2

Therefore, the equation in the form of y=mx+c is y=-2x+2

Find the probability that the senator was in the Democratic party, given that the senator was returning to office.

shutvik [7]

Answer:

The probability that the senator was in the Democratic party, given that the senator was returning to office is 0.4715.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Sophia made the following two-way table categorizing the US senators in 2015 by their political party and whether or not it was their first term in the senate.

Democratic Republican Independent Total

First Term 11 28 11 50

Returning 33 26 11 70

Total 44 54 22 120

Find the probability that the senator was in the Democratic party, given that the senator was returning to office.

Solution:

The conditional probability of an event A given that another event X has already occurred is given by:

$P(A|X)=\frac{P(A\cap X)}{P(X)}$

The probability of an event E is given by the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

$P(E)=\frac{n(E)}{N}$

Compute the probability of selecting an US senator who is a Democratic and was returning to office as follows:

$P(D\cap R)=\frac{33}{120}=0.275$

Compute the probability of selecting an US senator who was returning to office as follows:

$P(R)=\frac{70}{120}=0.5833$

Compute the conditional probability, P (D | R) as follows:

$P(D|R)=\frac{P(D\cap R)}{P(R)}$

$=\frac{0.275}{0.5833}\\\\=0.4714555\\\\\approx 0.4715$

Thus, the probability that the senator was in the Democratic party, given that the senator was returning to office is 0.4715.

If Melanie spins this spinner 1000 times, approximately how many times will it land on blue?

klemol [59]

Answer:

it would be 500

Step-by-step explanation:

since blue is covering 50% of the circle than the probability of it landing on blue is 50% and 50% of 1000 is 500
