Answer:

The value of the car will be x - (0.15)x after a year.

Step-by-step explanation:

The car was 15% more when it first came out, and the price went down by 15% after a year.

Therefore, to solve this problem, we need to multiply 0.15 by the initial cost, which will tell you how much the car price decreased.

Then, we need to subtract this amount from x, or the initial cost, in order to find how much the car will be worth after a year.

Therefore, the value of the car will be x - (0.15)x after a year.

Hope this helps! :D

Find the probability.
KATRIN_1 [288]

Using it's concept, it is found that there is a 0.0366 = 3.66% probability that your coach and your friend get orange and you get a fruit-punch.

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

In this problem, there are 15 bottles.

  • 5 are orange, hence the is a 5/15 = 1/3 probability that the coach gets orange, hence P(A) = 1/3.
  • After the coach, there will be 14 bottles remaining, of which 4 are orange, hence the probability that the friend gets orange is of P(B) = 4/14 = 2/7.
  • For you, there will be 13 bottles remaining, of which 5 will be of fruit-punch, hence the probability you get fruit-punch is of P(C) = 5/13.

The probability of the three outcomes occurring is given by:

p = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{2}{7} \frac{5}{13} = \frac{10}{273} = 0.0366

0.0366 = 3.66% probability that your coach and your friend get orange and you get a fruit-punch.

Consider that x=5 and y=7. Is the sum of x + y rational, irrational, or neither irrational nor rational!
nasty-shy [4]
The sum of y+x, or 5+7, is rational.  This is because each integer(non fraction/decimal)is rational, it is also rational.

A)<br> Identify all x-values not in the domain of<br> y=(x² – 4x²) / (3x² - 6x – 24)
True [87]

Answer:

x ≠ 4 or -2

Step-by-step explanation:

the denominator cannot be zero, so factor the bottom equation to get the zeros and those are the domain restrictions.

3x^2 - 6x - 24 ≠ 0

3(x^2 - 2x - 8) ≠ 0          (factor out a 3)

3(x - 4)(x + 2) ≠ 0            (factor equation)

x ≠ 4, x ≠ -2                     (use zero product property to find zeros)
