A product code consists of four letters followed by five digits. Only the letters X, Y, and Z can be used ( and any of the digit

s 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 can be used). For example, XYXZ31513, ZYZZ90654, YYYY44444 are possible product codes.
If one such product code is chosen at random, what is the probability it includes the letter Y?

Answer:

\frac{49}{81}, 60.494%

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to try to tackle this. I might miss a step as I am currently taking discrete mathematics.

We want to find all the possibilities with 1y, 2ys, 3ys, and 4ys, out of all total possibilities.

_ _ _ _   _ _ _ _ _

For the letters, in each spot, we have 3 choices. For the numbers, we have 10 choices in each spot

so

3*3*3*3 * 10*10*10*10*10

= 81*100000

= 8100000

The number of Y's will never affect the number of permutations of the numbers.

So:

For 1 y, we have

Y _ _ _ * 10*10*10*10*10

But we also have

_ Y _ _

_ _ Y _

and

_ _ _ Y

So we can multiply the number we get in one calculation by 4

4 *

Y _ _ _ * 10*10*10*10*10

2*2*2 * 10*10*10*10*10

= 800000 * 4  = 3200000

For 2 y's, we have

YY _ _

_ YY _

__ YY

3*

YY 2*2 * 10^5

4 * 100000

400000 * 3 = 1200000

For 3 y's, we have

YYY _

_ YYY

2 *

YYY 2 * 10^5

200000 * 2

= 400000

For 4 y's, we have

YYYY * 10^5

100000

Now we can add them all up and divide it by our original number 8100000

\frac{100000 + 400000 + 1200000 + 3200000}{8100000} = \frac{49}{81}

Which of the following circumstances would likely make completing the square th
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

The leading coefficient is 1 and the linear term coefficient is an even number

Step-by-step explanation:

Leading coefficient must be one for the application of completing square method. If the completing square is not one than we must apply other methods like Ac method, quadratic formula to solve the equation. To solve the equation with completing square the numerical value must be on other side of the equation. In this method we multiply linear term’s coefficient with one-half and square it therefore, completing square is suitable method for the equation having leading coefficient is 1 and linear coefficient is even.

Vadim26 [7]

Answer: 8.125 inches

Step-by-step explanation: Ok so if the plant grew 3.25 inches every month, and there were 2.5 months, you need to multiply 3.25 by 2.5 to get the total amount of growth. So that would be 8.125
