The best way to solve this equation is to multiply the probability of them each getting a cotton sweater. The first fraction would be 1/2 because half of the sweaters are cotton at this point. The second one would be 6/13 because there are now six cotton sweaters out of the thirteen sweaters left. The third would be 5/12 because there are now five cotton sweaters out of the twelve sweaters left. The last one would be 4/11 because there are now four cotton sweaters out of the eleven sweaters left. you would then multiply 2 by 13 getting 26, then multiply 26 by 12 getting 312. Finally, multiply 312 by 11 getting 3,432, which would be your denominator. You would then multiply 6, 5, and 4 getting 120, your numerator. Getting your simplified answer 5/143.

The result of adding a complex number to its conjugate is “an integer/a pure imaginary number/a real number/a whole number” and
sineoko [7]

Answer:

If Z is a complex number:

Z = a + b*i

where a and b are real numbers, and i is an imaginary number.

Then "a" is the real part.

"b*i" is the imaginary part.

The conjugate of Z is:

Zc = a - b*i

So the sign of the imaginary part changes.

Then:

Sum:

Z + Zc = (a + bi) + (a - bi) = 2*a + 0 = 2*a

and remember that a is a real number, then 2*a is also a real numer.

The correct answer is "A real number".

Difference:

Z - Zc = (a + bi) - (a - bi) = 2b*i

and this is a pure imaginary number, so here the correct answer is: "a pure imaginary number"

A mechanic charged $220.28 to repair a car. The price included charges for 3 hours of labor and $126.53 for parts. How much does
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

$31.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up an equation.

$220. 28 - total

$126.53 - cost for parts

3 - # of hours

? - price per hour

3h + $126.53 = $220.28

Subtract $126.53 from both sides.

3h = $93.75

Divide by 3.

h = $31.25

The mechanic charges $31.25 per hour for labor.

Hope that helps.

What is f(2) if f(x) = 2x-5 and f(4) if f(x) = -3x + 15<br> step by step please!
mash [69]

Answer:

f(2) = - 1 and f(4) = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(2), substitute x = 2 into f(x), that is

f(2) = 2(2) - 5 = 4 - 5 = - 1

To evaluate f(4), substitute x = 4 into f(x)

f(4) = - 3(4) + 15 = - 12 + 15 = 3
