The larger number is 9. One way to get this is to take two numbers that add up to 17, in this case your numbers are 8 and 9. Multiply 8 by 8 which will result in 64. Next you want to multiply 9 by 9 which is 81. If you add 81 and 64 you get 145. The final step is to simply pick the larger number between 8 and 9, which is 9.

Let the two numbers be x and y

x^2 + y^2 = 145

x + y = 17 Solve for y

y = 17 - x

x^2 + (17 - x)^2 = 145

x^2 + 289 - 34x + x^2 = 145

2x^2 - 34x + 289 = 145 Subtract 145 from both sides.

2x^2 -34x + 289 - 145 = 0

2x^2 - 34x + 144 = 0

x^2 - 17x + 72 = 0

(x - 9)(x - 8) = 0

x = 9 or x = 8

y = 9 or y = 8

The larger number is 9

I did it because I wanted to show if anything else would show up. If you haven't taken any algebra, ignore this answer.

Can anyone help ?
Flauer [41]

Answer:

a) 1 / 12

b) 1 / 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The events are independent since they do not affect each other. The total probability of two independent events is the product of the probabilities of the two events.

a) When rolling a die, there are 6 outcomes, the numbers 1 - 6. There is only 1 outcome where you can get a 2. Therefore, the probability of rolling a two is 1/6.

When flipping a coin, there are two ways it can land: heads or tails. And there is one outcome with heads. The probability of getting head would be 1 / 2.

To find the the total, you multiply the probabilities of the two events: 1 / 6 * 1 / 2 = 1 / 12

b) As stated before, when rolling a die, there are 6 outcomes, the numbers 1 - 6. There are 3 outcomes where she can roll an even number: the numbers 2, 4, or 6. So, the probability of rolling an even number is 3 / 6 or 1 / 2.

When flipping a coin, there are two ways it can land: heads or tails. And there is one outcome with tails. The probability of getting tails would be 1 / 2.

Now, you multiply the two probabilities to get the total probability: 1 / 2 * 1 / 2 = 1 / 4
