First lets solve the brackets:

1 - \frac{2}{3}

We can re-write  the number 1 as a fraction: 1 = \frac{3}{3}   This is because 3 divided by 3 still equals to 1.

Now lets use \frac{3}{3} instead of 1 in the question:

\frac{3}{3} - \frac{2}{3}   This seems much easier, since all we do is 3 - 2 to get the answer:

\frac{3}{3} - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{3}

----------------------

Next we square it (which means we multiply it by itself) :

\frac{1}{3} ² =  \frac{1}{3} × \frac{1}{3}

When we multiply fractions, we times the numerator by the numerator, and the denominator by the denominator:

\frac{1}{3} × \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{9}  (For the numerator: 1 x 1 = 1    and for the denominator: 3 x 3 = 9)

--------------------------

Next we multiply this  answer (\frac{1}{9}) by \frac{1}{4}

\frac{1}{4} × \frac{1}{9} = \frac{1}{36}   (For the numerator: 1 x 1 = 1    and for the denominator: 4 x 9 = 36)

---------------------------

Now we add \frac{1}{3} to \frac{1}{36}.

However when we add or subtract fractions, the denominator of both has to be the same.

To get the same denominator, we can times the denominator of \frac{1}{3} by 12, to get the same denominator as \frac{1}{36}     ( 3 x 12 = 36) :

\frac{1}{3} × 12 = \frac{12}{36}  (remember to multiply the numerator by the same number you did for the denominator)

--------------------------------------

Answer:

Now we can solve the answer:

\frac{12}{36} + \frac{1}{36} = \frac{13}{36}

1-2/3=1/3
1/3^2=1/9
1/9•1/4=1/36
1/36+1/3=13/36
13/36 is your answer

How do I do this problem?
Elenna [48]
Roots can be written as fraction exponents. An exponent of 1/2 means the square root.

(12 x^{4})^{1/2} =  \sqrt{12 x^{4} }  \\  \\ \sqrt{12 x^{4} } =  \sqrt{3*4*x^{2}*x^{2}} = 2x^{2} \sqrt{3}

A stereo store is offering a special price on a complete set of components (receiver, compact disc player, speakers, turntable).
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

a) 240 ways

b) 12 ways

c) 108 ways

d) 132 ways

e) i) 0.55

ii) 0.4125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the components:

Receiver, compound disk player, speakers, turntable.

Then a purcahser is offered a choice of manufacturer for each component:

Receiver: Kenwood, Onkyo, Pioneer, Sony, Sherwood => 5 offers

Compact disc player: Onkyo, Pioneer, Sony, Technics => 4 offers

Speakers: Boston, Infinity, Polk => 3 offers

Turntable: Onkyo, Sony, Teac, Technics => 4 offers

a) The number of ways one component of each type can be selected =

\left(\begin{array}{ccc}5\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right)

= 5 * 4 * 3 * 4  = 240 ways

b) If both the receiver and compact disk are to be sony.

In the receiver, the purchaser was offered 1 Sony, also in the CD(compact disk) player the purchaser was offered 1 Sony.

Thus, the number of ways components can be selected if both receiver and player are to be Sony is:

\left(\begin{array}{ccc}1\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}1\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right)

= 1 * 1 * 3 * 4 = 12 ways

c) If none is to be Sony.

Let's exclude Sony from each component.

Receiver has 1 sony = 5 - 1 = 4

CD player has 1 Sony = 4 - 1 = 3

Speakers had 0 sony = 3 - 0 = 3

Turntable has 1 sony = 4 - 1 = 3

Therefore, the number of ways can be selected if none is to be sony:

\left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right)

= 4 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 108 ways

d) If at least one sony is to be included.

Number of ways can a selection be made if at least one Sony component is to be included =

Total possible selections - possible selections without Sony

= 240 - 108

= 132 ways

e) If someone flips switches on the selection in a completely random fashion.

i) Probability of selecting at least one Sony component=

Possible selections with at least one sony / Total number of possible selections

\frac{132}{240} = 0.55

ii) Probability of selecting exactly one sony component =

Possible selections with exactly one sony / Total number of possible selections.

\frac{\left(\begin{array}{ccc}1\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) + \left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}1\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) + \left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}1\\1\end{array}\right)}{240}

= \frac{(1*3*3*3)+(4*1*3*3)+(4*3*3*1)}{240}

\frac{27 + 36 + 36}{240} = \frac{99}{240} = 0.4125
