Answer:

5:7

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to set up a ratio. You have the number of shirts (15) to skirts AND pants (so 12+9=21). This gives you both sides of your ratio 15:21. You can simplify by dividing both sides by 3 (greatest common factor) and get 5:7

Answer:

The probability of selecting such number = $\frac{90}{9000} = \frac{1}{100}$

Explanation:

4-digit numbers start from 1000 and ends at 9999

So, there are 9000 4-digit numbers present

There are 90 palindrome numbers (which reads the same forward and backward) present between 1000-9999. They are 1001; 1111; 1221; 1331; ... 1001; 1111; 1221; 1331; ... to 9669; 9779; 9889; 9999; 9669; 9779; 9889; 9999

Therefore, the probability of selecting such number = $\frac{90}{9000} = \frac{1}{100}$

Find the x and y intercepts of y = 2x^3 - 4x^2 algebraically

poizon [28]

The x-intercept is the place where y = 0 and the y-intercept is the point where x = 0. Using this information, we can substitute 0 in for x and y to find the intercepts.

x-intercepts (where y = 0):

$2x^3 - 4x^2 = 0$
