Answer: The solution of given inequalities is all real number except [1.167, 3.5].

Explanation:

The given inequalities are

5x-3>14.5            ....(1)

2x+\frac{5}{3}  .... (2)

Solve first inequality.

5x-3>14.5

5x>14.5+3

x>\frac{17.5}{5}

x>3.5

Solve second inequality.

2x+\frac{5}{3}

2x

2x

x

x

The solution of first or second inequality is all real number less than 1.167 and all rea number more than 3.5. It means the combined solution of both inequalities is all real number except [1.167, 3.5].

Answer:

When solving the first inequality, you get x > 3.5. When solving the second inequality, you get x < 3.5. The solution of an “or” compound in equality is everything in both solution sets, so the solution set is all of the numbers less than 3.5 and greater than 3.5. Since neither of the inequalities includes 3.5, the compound inequality has a solution of all real numbers except 3.5.

Sara, Nick and June share some sweets in the ratio 5:5:3. Sara gets 18 more sweets than June. How many sweets does Nick get?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:  45

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

5 : 5 : 3 is simplified so it can be rewritten as  5x  :  5x  :  3x

                                                                            ↓        ↓      ↓

                                                                        Sara    Nick  June

Sara has 18 more than June --> 5x = 3x + 18

                                                    2x = 18

                                                      x = 9

In expanded form we have 5(9) : 5(9) : 3(9)

                                              45  :  45  :  27

                                               ↓        ↓      ↓

                                           Sara    Nick  June

If the first term of the series is 30 and the 14th term is 95, what is the sum of all the terms of the series?
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

D)  S_{14} = 875.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : If the first term of the series is 30 and the 14th term is 95,

To find : what is the sum of all the terms of the series.

Solution : We have given

First term = 30 .

14 th term = 95.

Sum of all term = S_{n} =\frac{n(first\ term +\ last\ term)}{2}.

Here, n = 14.

 S_{14} =\frac{14(30 +95)}{2}.

 S_{14} =\frac{14(125)}{2}.

 S_{14} =\frac{1750}{2}.

 S_{14} = 875.

Therefore, D)  S_{14} = 875.

What is the probability of these events when we randomly select a permutation of {1,2, ..., n} where n≥4? a) 1 precedes 2 c) 1 i
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

a) 1/2

b) 1/n

c) 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

a) For each permutation, either 1 precedes 2 or 2 precedes 1. For each permutation in which 1 precedes 2, we can swap 1 and 2 to obtain a permutation in which 2 preceds 1. Thus, half of the total permutations will involve in 1 preceding 2, hence, the probability for a permutation having 1 before 2 is 1/2.

c) If 2 is at the start of the permutation, then it is impossible for 1 to be before 2. If that is not the case, then 1 has a probability of 1/n-1 to be exactly in the position before 2. We can divide in 2 cases using the theorem of total probability,

P( 1 immediately preceds 2) = P (1 immediately precedes 2 | 2 is at position 1) * P(2 is at position 1) + P(1 immediately precedes 2 | 2 is not at position 1) * P(2 is not at position 1) = 0 * 1/n + (1/n-1)*(n-1/n) = 1/n.

d) We can divide the total of permutations in 4 different groups with equal cardinality:

  • Those in which n precedes 1 and n-1 precedes 2
  • those in which n precedes 1 and 2 precedes n-1
  • those in which 1 precedes n and n-1 precedes 2
  • those in which 1 precedes n and 2 precedes n-1

All this groups have equal cardinality because we can obtain any element from one group from another by making a permutations between 1 and n and/or 2 and n-1.

This means that the total amount of favourable cases (elements of the first group) are a quarter of the total, hence, the probability of the event is 1/4.
