295 x 3 = 885

885-104 = 781

781 pebbles

Gloria had two sets of alphabet cards (A–Z). She mixed the two sets together to form a single stack of cards. Then Gloria drew t

grin007 [14]

She has 52 card all together so she has a probability of drawing on the first draw 4 L's or R's because their are two sets of alphabet cards. So that is 4/52 or 1/13 to the lowest term. Second turn she only has 51 cards to draw from and still has 4 L's and R's so that would be 4/51 and on the third try she has only 50 cards left so that would be 4/50 or 2/25 to the lowest term. Now multiply all three factions 1/13 x 4/51 x 2/25 = 8/16575 meaning out of the three draws she has a probability of getting a L or R, 8 out of 16575 each draw.

How can you tell from the equation of a rational function if the function has a hole in the graph ( a removable discontinuity) a

Eva8 [605]

Consider that,

x^2+4x+4 = (x+2)(x+2)

x^2+7x+10 = (x+2)(x+5)

Dividing those expressions leads to

(x^2+4x+4)/(x^2+7x+10) = (x+2)/(x+5)

The intermediate step that happened is that we have (x+2)(x+2) all over (x+2)(x+5), then we have a pair of (x+2) terms cancel as the diagram indicates (see below). This is where the removable discontinuity happens. Specifically when x = -2. Plugging x = -2 into (x+2)/(x+5) produces an output, but it doesn't do the same for the original ratio of quadratics. So we must remove x = -2 from the domain.

Madeline received $300 for her birthday. She deposits it into a savings account with an interest rate of 2.45%. She makes monthl

oee [108]

Answer:

b. $1,587.57

Step-by-step explanation:

A financial calculator will tell you the value of Madeline's account after 8 years will be $16,287.57. In that time, she will have deposited ...

$300 +96×150 = $14,700

The interest earned is the difference between her account balance and the amount she deposited:

$16,287.57 -14,700 = $1,587.57 . . . interest earned

_____

<em>Account value calculation</em>

The future value of the initial $300 deposit after 8 years is ...

A = P(1 +r/n)^(nt)

for principal P earning annual rate r compounded n times per year for t years.

A = $300(1 +0.0245/12)^(12·8) ≈ $364.89

The future value of the sum of $150 deposits monthly (at the beginning of the month) will be ...

A = $150((1+r/n)^(nt) -1)(1 +n/r) = $15,922.68

So, the total value of Madeline's account in 8 years is ...

$364.89 +15,922.68 = $16,287.57

_____

<em>Comment on account value</em>

In problems of this nature, it is always necessary to determine when the deposits are made relative to when the account value is measured. Here, we assume the $300 deposit is immediate, and its value is measured 8 years hence.

The monthly deposits are not described in that detail. In order to get any of the numbers in the answer list, we need to assume the deposits are at the beginning of the month. If we assume they are at the end of the month, the amount of interest is reduced by about $33.18, the last month's interest.

Jennifer is shopping with her mother. They pay $2 per pound of tomatoes.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is 2

The equation is y=2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit price or unit rate is $2

Let y represent the price of tomatoes, then the price of x tomatoes is

$y=2x$ dollars.

This represents a direct variation.

This equation is of the form $y=kx$ , where k=2 is the constant of proportionality.
