Let the unknown consecutive integers be x, x+1

x+x+1=-95

2x+1=-95

2x=-95-1

2x=-96

x=-96/2

x=-48

x=-48

x=-48x+1=-48+1=-47

-48 and -47 are the two consecutive integers

A fair die is cast, a fair coin is tossed, and a card is drawn from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. Assuming these events a

dem82 [27]

Answer:

The probability is 0.0192 to four decimal places.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the probabilities that three events will occur at the same time.

Firstly, we identify the individual probabilities.

The probability of 6 showing In a throw of die is 1/6

The probability of a coin showing head in a flip of coin is 1/2

The probability of a face card being drawn in a deck of cards is 12/52( There are 12 face cards in a deck of cards)

Mathematically to get the probability of all these events happening, we simply multiply all together.

This will be ;

1/6 * 1/2 * 12/52 = 1/52 = 0.0192 ( to 4 decimal place)

In the diagram below, P is circumscribed about quadrilateral ABCD. What is the value of x?

alexira [117]

We know that
In any quadrilateral where the vertices are on the circumference of a circle, the opposite angles add up to $180$ degrees.

So,
in this problem
$(x+20) + 110 = 180 \\ x+130=180 \\ x=180-130 \\ x=50degrees$

therefore

the answer is
$x=50degrees$

A rectangular plot of farmland will be bounded on one side by a river and on the other three sides by a single-strand electric f

likoan [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length and y be the width of the rectangular plot.

The plot is bounded on one side by a river and on the other three sides by a single-strand electric fence. It means,

x+2y = 1500

x = 1500 - 2y ....(1)

We know that the area of a rectangular plot is given by :

A = xy ....(2)

Put the value of x from equation (1) in (2)

$A=(1500-2y)y\\\\A=1500y-2y^2$ .....(3)

For largest area, differentiate above area equation wrt y.

$\dfrac{dA}{dy}=\dfrac{d}{dy}(1500y-2y^2)\\\\=1500-4y\\\\\text{Put}\ \dfrac{dA}{dy}=0\\\\1500-4y=0\\\\y=\dfrac{1500}{4}\\\\=375$

Put the value of y in equation (1).

x = 1500-2(375)

= 750 m

Put the value of y in equation (3).

$A =1500(375)-2(375)^2\\A=281250\ m^2$

Hence, the largest area is 281250 m² and its dimensions are 750 m and 375 m.

Norm has $15,000 to deposit. His daughter is a junior in high school and plans to go to college. Recommend the best way for Norm

Aloiza [94]

<span>The best way for Norm to store his money is through C. A money market account paying 3.5% interest, renewable for three-month commitments. Even though a four-year CD offers a higher interest at 4.8%, the fact that there is a substantial penalty for early withdrawal is a negative factor for Norm. His daughter needs the money after 2 years since she is already a junior in high school.</span>
