Answer:

$a=-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since $f(x)=\frac{3x+8}{2x-a}$ , we have

$2=f(0)=\frac{3(0)+8}{2(0)-a}=-\frac8a$

Taking the reciprocal gives

$-\frac a8=\frac12$

Then multiplying by $-8$ gives

$a=\frac12(-8)=-4$

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

If the expression is 2y+9x the answer is: 10x+12y

If the expression is 2y-9x the answer is -8x+12y

Step-by-step explanation:

You would combine all your x values:-4,9,9,-4 and that equals 10 then you would add your variable, so your x value is 10x.

You would then combine all your y values: 8,-2,8,-2, and that equals 12, then you would add your variable, so your y value is 12y.

Lizzie rolls two dice. What is the probability that the sum of the dice is:

zhenek [66]

Answer:

$A.\ \dfrac{1}{3}\\B.\ \dfrac{5}{12}\\C.\ \dfrac{7}{36}\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total outcomes possible: 36

A. Divisible by 3

Possible options are:

3, 6, 9 and 12.

Possible outcomes for 3 are: {(1,2), (2,1)} Count 2

Possible outcomes for 6 are: {(1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (5,1),(4,2)} Count 5

Possible outcomes for 9 are: {(3,6), (4,5), (5,4),(6,3)} Count 4

Possible outcomes for 12 are: {(6,6)} Count 1

Total count = 2 + 5 + 4 + 1 = 12

Probability of an event E can be formulated as:

$P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}$

$P(A) = \dfrac{12}{36} = \dfrac{1}{3}$

B. Less than 7:

Possible sum can be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Possible cases for sum 2: {(1,1)} Count 1

Possible cases for sum 3: {(1,2), (2,1)} Count 2

Possible cases for sum 4: {(1,3), (3,1), (2,2)} Count 3

Possible cases for sum 5: {(1,4), (2,3), (3,2),(4,1)} Count 4

Possible cases for sum 6: {(1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (5,1),(4,2)} Count 5

Total count = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15

$P(B) = \dfrac{15}{36} = \dfrac{5}{12}$

C. Divisible by 3 and less than 7:

$P(A \cap B) = \dfrac{n(A\cap B)}{\text{Total Possible outcomes}}$

Here, common cases are:

Possible outcomes for 3 are: {(1,2), (2,1)} Count 2

Possible outcomes for 6 are: {(1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (5,1),(4,2)} Count 5

$P(A \cap B) = \dfrac{7}{\text{36}}$
